well this update doesn't fix the bad gamedesignor the awful traversal
On another note, I think I’m taking this opportunity to tackle on the games side quests since there are lots of them and I beelined the main story. Then again, I might wait for the 40fps mode.

I hate that guy. And it seems lots of people don’t like him too. Era users also didn’t agree with him.

Maybe you should fix your comment first?
It does seem off topic to me.

Downloaded the whole game again to test it, and yeah, it looks MUCH better, close to native 4K
Well done, Guerilla
Then I started playing the game again, reached a village of people that ... sings
In a post-apocalyptic world of mecha dinos, they spend their day ... singing
Hire better writters for your next game Guerilla, I want to play your shit, but you are making it too damn hard

I mean sometimes he really shit out of the bed. They take a lot of time to improve it and for him it's just a oversharpening with hideous results. I bet whatever you want he is completely wrong (as always when talking about sony studio tech) he barely care to be properly informed about the studio sony feedback ; Guerrilla they already claimed to have started to change the rendering of the plantes in the perfomance mode with the previous patches.

After spending a good 2 hrs with the game last night after the new update, wow, what a difference performance mode is now! Graphically it's fantastic and much better now.
Did they do anything with resolution mode too, or was this strictly to make performance mode better?

Reconstruction does it unfortunately, noticed already in many games with TAUU DRSS and CBR. Hardly is it fixable, my wild guess.

You can always count on him to do his favorite maneuver when there is any positivity about a Sony game.To be fair to him,, he is not saying it is just a sharpening filter but that the game visuals are still over sharpened.
He is still downplaying it, but it is him being him…

Ahem.. get into the Zero Dawn lore first, then play the game from the start and you'll understand why Utaru people sing.
Lore is the best portion of these games to me, you could write an entire really good book series with it.
In the realm of videogames this is S Tier stuff.

Everyone knows (and that includes Alex, of course) that adding a ton of sharpening to a shimmering mess just causes... well, even more shimmering. In fact the only way to mitigate this issue a bit was turn the sharpening setting on your TV all the way down. So I don't know why Alex is saying that bullshit. It's obvious Guerrilla has done important tweaks to their temporal AA solution, and maybe more changes. That's not something you can fix with a sharpening filter, that was the problem and the reason it took 14 patches, a completely new approach was required, as John predicted on Tweeter when the game launched and people started complaining about the IQ in Performance mode.

Looks so much better now. They have cut some stuff down like draw distance and some particles but nothing you would notice outside of a side by side comparison.
The glider (and probably the holograms at Vegas) still looks a bit dodgy and there is some TAA blurring or something but nothing crazy.
Can't believe people were blaming TVs..
The transmog is great too as some of the sets were useless for my maximum cheese minimum skill strategy.

You can use TAA with checkerboard rendering.

I've just read their Wiki entry, and if you are able to find why they sing in it, please show me
https://horizon.fandom.com/wiki/Utaru
But it's less about the lore itself and much about how it's written and presented in the game.
I'm not asking for a script written by Aaron Sorkin, but one that at least sounds like its being acted by human beings

Jesus dude, it's called lore...
The people in witcher 3 organise parties and play gwent and they are way more fucked up than horizon tribes...

Didnt see this posted, but GamingTech was the only one who covered this Performance Mode issue for the last 3 months. DF, NX Gamer, VG Tech, ElAnalDeBits didnt even acknowledge it in their reviews and barely covered GG's disastrous attempts to fix it. This man singlehandedly held GG responsible patch after patch, and deserves all the credit for it. A true journalist.
You can see just how poor the IQ was in Patch 1.4. It looked like how some series s games look when the resolution drops too low. Just a blurry vaseline covered mess. Now it looks perfect. No shimmering, details are not blurred out, IQ remains stable in motion. How DF and NX Gamer were ok with this is beyond me. How they never followed up with GG on behalf of their viewers is simply disappointing. Their allegiance should be to the viewer who gets them the clicks to get them the ad revenues, not to the studios they want to be besties with.

What’s the problem with this exactly? They had very good lives with the machines taking care for them. These people are mostly like superstitious cavemen, there’s nothing wrong with what they’re doing lmao

Because he doesn’t like Sony? Some people at DF are clearly warriors with some leaning MS and others Sony.

How I said just before, I think that my problem lies on how the dialogue is written
It's cringy. I cant quite put my finger on it.
Even The Witcher being located in a world with mages, trolls and vampires, it's 100x more believable to me
Which sucks, because I love Horizon's presentation and combat, but it's all so fake to me. I can't get immersed

CDPR has became quite adept at story telling and world building. They're simply on an another level. HZD/HWF has nothing on games lik w1/w2/w3/cyberpunk

It’s written like a comic book. Aloy & Horizon are very similar to Peter Parker & Spider-man.
Difference is 1 is a new IP (relatively) and the other is the most famous comic book character & world of all time.
And it might also come down to the director, leads of Horizon being Dutch. English isn’t their native tongue, so they might have slightly different feelings towards judging dialogue. Tho surely 1 of their writers probably is a fluent/native English speaker, idk. I can notice this at times with English dialogue written by Japanese native speakers, which isn’t a big deal for me. I give em props, like I could never write a game script in Dutch lol.

And yet, all the scifi in horizon is explained to the smallest detail while in witcher you just have to shrug because magic explain everything...not sure how one is more believable than the other.
But sure, dialogues are much better in witcher, i think that horizon has great lore but i would hire someone else for the characters dialogues for the third game.

I was being serious because he didn’t contact the devs to inquire about this.

This team has been amazing with the post-launch support in consistency, and adding in this new content as well. Not enough of a masochist to play any game at Ultra Hard difficulty but I'm really curious about the Reset Skills function (if it's not tied to New Game+) and new Trophies.
Downloading today.

TBF this is the same guy who said Halo Infinite's June 2020 showcase was "fine" and that it was really just the lighting that needed work.
Though also TBF, DF did more recently get pretty harsh about Halo Infinite's visuals...at least Rich and John have been. Dunno if Alex is still making excuses in that regard. Still though it's pretty disrespectful and dismissive to the work these teams put into their games, especially post-launch, to throw out a backhanded insult and claim it's just a "sharpening filter", like they just ran the game through a Photoshop or GIMP Sharpen filter pass and called it a day.
Especially as a claimed professional tech analysis; you need to put some real effort into what you post considering a lot of people will eat up what you say as fact. Let's see if any of the mods or admin over there maybe tell him to watch his wording a bit more so that it's a bit more professional given his status. I bet you they won't.

Anybody get this it’s random when ever you manually save at a fire it freezes the game maybe it will last 30 sec or it will stay frozen causing you to reset the system cause the home button doesn’t work,I’ve just been quick saving and haven’t had that problem doing that.

So is performance mode clearly the way to go now? I was gonna go fidelity to get all that eye candy but if there's barely any difference obviously I will go performance.
Gymwolf you gonna replay on ultrahard?

I mean DF contacted devs before so I was expecting them to do that with this one at least. But dumping a random “ it’s only horrid sharpening “ without contacting the devs seems premature to me.

it is sharpening tho, considering what i see from elanalistabit
MasterCornholio

Well he’s been extremely wrong before which is why he isn’t allowed here. Like I said it’s premature to claim that it’s only sharpening without studying it first.
yamaci17

allowed? what do you mean not allowed?
everyone can make claims tbh, freedom of speech no? there's no defamatory meaning behind claiming there's sharpening applied, i'd say
