Large FOV, massive draw distance and some very detailed foliage makes a huge difference. Massive leap over the console version I played on PS5 a few weeks ago.



Yes, it seems to be modded but the difference is gigantic. Just bought it on Epic for $15.

Frankly, every console game needs to ship with a FOV slider. Only First person shooters do it nowadays and TLOU2 lets you put the camera back a little bit, but this footage shows just how much having a large FOV really adds to the atmosphere.

 

[Gameplaylover]

Wow, that looks really nice.

[Magic Carpet]

Is this the game as is? Or is this a mod community thing.
When it launched in such a bad state on PC I stopped caring but looks like things have been fixed and then some.

 

[SlimySnake]

lol I am playing CoD at 120 FOV right now and at first the fisheye effect was really bad but now I cant go back. I feel so claustrophobic. Way bigger difference than 60 to 120 fps.

True, small FOVs just give me montion sickness now

 

[ParaSeoul]

Second game has weird unnatural lighting,first game looks better in that regarded.

 

[tusharngf]

wow that looks awesome. Lights and shadows are much improved.

 

[Stuart360]

It looks better than the sequel imo, and that sky box, wow.

This high FOV camra mod really brings the world to life.

what are you talking about exactly?

 

[Markio128]

Are you playing the machine-free version? Seems very quiet.

 

[Mister Wolf]

Using Screen Space Global Illumination through Reshade makes a big difference.

 

[ParaSeoul]

what are you talking about exactly?

Didnt see a lot of Horizon 2 but everything on the beach area? Looked way too bright imo.

 

[Stuart360]

What i like about that camera mod is its giving you a huge FOV, and makes the world look massive, but without the awful fishbowl effect you usually get with high FOV.
Good mod, i might try it myself.

Thats not me. Some youtube video that got recommended to me last night.

I saw some machines in the video.

Massive leap over the console version I played on PS5 a few weeks ago.

Oh wow - I'm surprised by the fact, that a modern computer can output a better quality picture of a pc-ported game than a console playing a 4+ year old game without a next-gen update.

Which mods and where can I get them? Actually looks I can try the game now.

He's right you know.

 

[rofif]

Crushed contrast, fish eye fov, over sharpening, ig filter.
yep it’s a crap reshade mod. Thank god some of these guys are not developers

 

[BeardGawd]

That looks great. I might check it out. Is a PSN login required for Sony PC games? Just curious.

 

[JMarcell]

Yep, it's a gourgeous game if played at Ultra graphics setting.

 

[GrayChild]

And now imagine how Forbidden West is going to look when it gets released on PC.

 

[Kenpachii]

This game at ultrawide is great looking now with DLSS. Grass shimmering is finally gone.

 

[MonarchJT]

is the definitive edition like every game that end to be on PC.

No just whatever store you buy it from (Steam, EGS etc).

 

[Interfectum]

Snagged it for $15 on EGS just to see how the DLSS looks on this thing.

Seriously. I beat it on PS4 Pro and playing it at 1440p@60 on ultra settings completely blows it away. I expect the same for God of War next month.

that BIG leap is honestly a Cerny PS5 BC wrong design and Sony greed fault (who doesn't seem interested in preserving old games and want you to buy remasters and remakes)

 

[Gamer_By_Proxy]

That 8k doesn't look that impressive on my 1080p monitor /s

 

[Coolwhhip]

Looks great, the frame rate is pretty low in this video though isn't it?

What I wouldn't give for a World of Warcraft or Zelda game at that quality...

What's worse is people like the video in OP, charge money for a Reshade config. Dude's got a patreon and everything.

Pretty much every single reshade I've seen is shit, and definitely the ones that dude makes in his videos. I think he tries to sell Ray tracing reshades as well for older games.

They say don't knock someone's hustle but people that sell reshade configs are lame.

It runs really well on PC now.

I don't play ultra wide, but DLSS seems to remove a lot of shimmering? I just checked it out in the benchmark the other day but DLSS Quality mode seemed to look a lot better than native res.
