Graphical Fidelity I Expect This Gen

I'm almost 100% sure this is a load of rubbish, guess we'll find out soon but I just don't see them shoehorning a low fidelity version running at an uneven frame rate for the current consoles.
 
This guy is transforming The Witcher 3 to look even better. Its amazing what good looking textures can do visually in a game


I dont get these HD reworks, sure they look nice but nobody is zooming all the way in to see individual stitching so whilst the textures do look amazing the world still looks like a game from 2015, no amount of sharp textures is going to make up for the sparse low detail last gen world
 
new Netflix Game starring Troy Baker and Zoë Kravitz

Same dev as the previous plague tale games, which were pretty good! Shocking how rough these games become the moment they try to expand scope and mechanics. Just like Senua. When you truly attempt to make something more ambitious, that isn't just graphics, the difference between top tier devs and the rest becomes clear as day.
Western devs have a habit of focusing on graphics and story over gameplay. It is the polar opposite for developers in Asia, where combat is first and foremost. It is the wrong approach by most western developers. Gamers want fun and unique gameplay loops. Start by investing in that and then put resources toward graphics and cinematics as the studio grows. Expecting a 100 person studio to be able to do both is asinine

A Plagues Tale Resonance almost seems like a panic move by the studio. At least the previous entries were unique in how they played. This upcoming game just seems generic

They mixed up my order a few times and shipped it very late once. I think they just copied that text from other games, because games these days usually have two graphics modes.

This is one of the most retarded posts I have ever read in my life man
 
The plans and the time of day aren't identical, but here's a quick comparison of Jason's house in the second GTA VI trailer and the screenshot that was released today:

Second pic looks like GTA5 with RT and better assets.

Stop making bullshit comparison with full different settings here is real look

You cannot use "gamers" just as you cannot use "the people".

It reminds me of right wing voters in the Netherlands who think they are the majority conveniently forgetting that the prime minister is a liberal homosexual.

Videogames and it's audience are and always have been diverse.
 

GTA 6 price officially confirmed, and at $80 fears that Rockstar would break the $100 barrier were unfounded

The Ultimate Edition for the new Grand Theft Auto game, meanwhile, will cost you $99.99

I´d not stoop that low, the overall density is definitely a big jump, too, but yeah that looks much more in line with what I´d expect the current consoles being able to display. The trailers so far looked just too good to be true.
The RT limitations are also very apparent and pretty much in line with the general RT low resolution/bounces issues we`ve seen on the consoles so far.
Maybe we`ll get a PT mode on PC, or at least much higher res full suite RTGI, but Rockstar isn`t exactly known for going the extra mile there and I doubt the PS6 would be able to handle that, PT at least.

these......don't look good....at all !
not even in line with the fidelity of the first trailer. I thought they were fake.. like glorified screenshots from a heavily modded version of GTA V
I hope things look better in motion

The RT limitations with the finer details are also very apparent and pretty much in line with the general RT resolution issues we`ve seen on the consoles so far.

We'll need to see a gameplay trailer to form a real opinion, but in the In-game screenshot, the lighting seems to have taken a significant hit.

The vegetation in the foreground is also much less detailed than in the second trailer. The quality of the materials and assets is also a bit disappointing in this screenshot compared to the second trailer.

In motion? If it's the Pro version with PSSR2, it will look ok.
With FSR3.0 on the base console, it's going to have a lot of shimmering and disocclusion artifacts.
 
I mean there's a sea of difference between some of the recent screenshots Msamy Msamy has posted here and the ones previously put up on the website [at the top]

(The old screens look amazing while the new ones display too much change and not at all in a good way, ranging from lighting to geometry, to textures even, there is too much inconsistency

Hopefully the third trailer will put our concerns to rest otherwise I am blaming Phil Spencer and Series bloody S :messenger_grinning_smiling:

Yeah, I agree with you. Looking at those old screenshots, which are also marketing bullshots, they were more impressive than today's.
 
the third trailer will clear things up as it should, and will probably give us a good understanding of what the final product will look and play like
I believe in Rockstar. if they can't do it no one can

After RDR2, is people here really doubting GTA5 graphics? Lol
I´m not doubting GTAs budget here, but I´m certainly doubting the console hardware.

This gen the consoles have very hard limitations concerning what`s possible in regards to what we`d refer to as the "next gen look" here. That look almost exclusively comes from features that either don`t run on the consoles at all or only in very compromised form, and no amount of budget can overcome sheer lack of performance.
That Cutscene-Gameplay comparison pretty much shows exactly the limitations we`ve seen in a lot of other games already.

On a high end PC GTA6 could come pretty close to those bullshots if RS really wanted to push and futureproof it (which they are not exactly known for), on consoles the "gamey" beachhouse screenshot seems much more realistic, even for the PS5Pro.

Those 2 screenshots display differences that are simply beyond the sheer in-game / cutscene fidelity.
 
I called the downgrade but it was not hard to predict really.

Hopefully what is under the hood remained untouched.
Yea, like cool breakable glass they were spewing on about earlier, touch of random detail, etc. This is what drives my erections in games more than definition or traced rays.

Dunno man, DS2 had big difference in cutscenes vs gameplay too, who knows how it all will look on topend pc definitive pt version maxed out, we all know ps360 gta5 aka launch console versions cant hold the handle to definitive pc experience(or even base ps5) in all areas, far just beyond framerate or iq :unsure:
 
Low res shadows, poor AO, unstable reflections on the car/water. Nothing better RT+RR wont fix, this just needs better effects.

Hard to judge the rest since its all smeared with DoF, but the vehicle models are really nice. Expected it to look like a game set in 2020s, love how theyre going for the oldscool vibes, far more interested now.

Of course it does, but those ss are doctored by Dr. Bullshot.
Inbefore 3rd trailer launches, i ask u my fellow brothers suffering together all kinds of unimaginable hardships, plz none of u do meltdown style selfbanning threads, we are in a fragile state right now like college girl after ONS durning her walk of shame but be brave and strong, nothing gonna break us, even ff7r texture quality 🫡

As an ignorant in light systems i have to ask, isnt possible that that downgraded pic of the house is not just a different, more sunny, time of the day?

It kinda just look like a yellowish color filter...

Most of the shots are still good to great.

We need viveks86 viveks86 SlimySnake SlimySnake and Bojji Bojji imput here

I am curious too

I do have a feeling that the pc version will look like the og trailers with raytracing but the console versions will be downgraded
