Looks similar to ones from AC Odyssey. So no but not a big deal to me.

The trailing mission complaints were overblown. 90% of the time you will be at the sea hunting down pirates, attacking forts and exploring islands. the story missions are few and far between. The combat gets a lot more fun when you upgrade your pistols and start adding them in your melee combos. iirc, some special abilities would kill like 4 people at once mid combat. im kinda tired of the new AC combat, and wouldnt mind going back to the more arcadey combat for Black Flag. Much more fun than ac unity imo thanks to the guns and other special abilities.

Depends on the physics, crimson water feel almost like an actual physical entity and not just a great work of smoke and mirrors.

We have very different taste when it comes to combat, i never liked the counter focused combat of previous ac games, the first game and a couple of hours of the secondo one was all i could stomach at the times.
Fancy animations finishers are not something i give much fucks about even if they were pretty good in the old games (and got worse with the new ones)

I like that Capcom games are behind times in many aspects.
Pragmata lunches with older DLSS files, old DLSS FG, old DLSS RR preset... You have to fix everything yourself.
Model B for FG and preset E for RR improve things. Overall, PT in Pragmata is just reaching the best RT games when it comes to quality, not exactly top PT games. Reminds me of AW2 in this aspect.
There should be way more AO in many of those pictures
Still looks good, but game is extremely demanding vs. even PT Cyberpunk (for less quality).

Game Pass price decreased but Call of Duty removed from it day one, new COD games will release a year later. Good. I've always been against Game Pass for so long.
Maybe COD will become more ambitious with graphics & details? We'll see…

I can see why ghost of yotei is there.... From an artistic standpoint, it's outstanding. It'll also age better than others on this list.

I'm so shocked by this. People really love their very stylish worlds huh? Played Yotei yesterday, it looks very pretty art wise but the technological aspect is so hindered in many areas.
Crimson Desert should be number 1, no doubt!

Morrowind. Shenmue 2. New Vegas.
It's called soul and Crimson Desert looks good but that's it. There's no cohesive vision.

Crimson Desert has soul. You can see it when the game's lighting glitches out and goes into infrared mode.
Soul everywhere.

The "cohesive vision" was created in 2014 thanks to Black Desert Online and improved in Crimson Desert in 2026.

If we're talking strictly Open Worlds, heres how I predict the gen playing out:
1. GTA 6
2. Witcher 4
3. Crimson Desert
4. Assassin's Creed Shadows/ Black Flag
5. Horizon: Burning Shores
Overall games, by end of gen, I am predicting this:
1. GTA 6
2. Black Myth: Zhong Kui
3. Witcher 4
4. Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet
5. Gears: E Day / Hellblade 2

Many Gamers nowadays got this false belief or assertion let's say, which is the attribution to graphical limitation or byproducts of it manifesting in ugly artefacts (aliasing, shimmering, ghosting, noise) as "soul", those artefacts seem to coalesce much more with older games in 2010s/2000s/1990s. It's such an insane thought proposition that it makes me question if I am the crazy one around here...What's soul exactly? Is soul something that hinders the developers' visions or the image that they want to deliver?? Is running a game at 4K instead of 1080p soulless? What?Crimson Desert has soul. You can see it when the game's lighting glitches out and goes into infrared mode.
Soul everywhere.
Try Battlefield 4 on PS4 or Crysis 3 on Xbox 360, so much shimmering & aliasing it's absolutely insane! It's gotten exponentially better now, still not perfect though, we got newer problems to solve.

Its something gamers say when they want to put some things down and uplift others , but they have no valid arguments to give, else theyd use em instead.

Looks fantastic in both! Their standard ray tracing solution is definitely more advanced than Capcom's.
I have a feeling it's gonna run like hot garbage with PT.
The gameplay trailers without PT already had big FPS drops.

Everything about Morrowind has already been said like 10 years ago.
Look I am happy people enjoy the game but is there anything actually exceptional about Crimson Desert besides posting screenshots? Just imagine someone putting Avatar in their top 5 of best movies.

You'd have to ask the tweeter what he meant by fidelity. Maybe if you understood their definition of fidelity, then you would understand why they structured their list in that way.
Again, on a macro scale, Ghosts looks more realistic than some of the games on that list due to its art direction. You may not agree with that and that's fine.

The standard RT one looks fantastic. PT one is absurd though.
This makes me salivate for GTA 6 Path Tracing support & maybe even additional Neural Rendering tech support. Rockstar is our last hope.

Ghost of Yotei is already outdated and is only holding on thanks to its art direction. It's only going to get worse from here.

Good list, but I'd love to chuck in RE9 with PT, crazy good looking.

The lamps aren't casting shadows even with PT on, seems to be a weird implementation overall tbh. Artistically it looks worse, very almost green tint versus the warmer darker palette of the non-rt. The previous comparison in this board I thought the same, the more I see of it, the more it looks like a rushed bolt-on instead of something they've properly integrated.

Crimson has very high highs and very low lows though so I don't know where I'd put it. But its highs are above anything we've seen this gen.
Was thinking the same. A lot of it is a shnoozer.

Currently these only run fine on desktop browsers. Mobile phone browsers (or hardware) struggle to play them (maybe because they are struggling to decode them, or might be a bug). I also see the same 1 fps on my iphone chrome. Hopefully the support improves in the future. These avifs can also handle HDR, but most browsers can't. So again, need to wait for better support.These avif are playing at like 1 fps

Game looks awesome, cant wait. Love the stealth options.
Now imagine what Naughty Dog will do with gameplay mechanics in Uncharted 5.

Does this even look better than uncharted 4? At least from a set-piece and animation perspective, I don't think so at all.

Effects 100% will. I bet enviroments will mostly too (mainly because of better effects)
Full RT will carry the rest of the game, at least on PC.

The graphics look a generation ahead. There is an insane amount of detail in every level. Not just that one beachhouse like we saw in the U4 epilogue. The lighting especially interior lighting is way better. The airplane setpiece looked insane. I have no idea how you can think it wasnt next gen.
