In 10 years Fenyx Rising will look better than Valhalla due to art style and 60 fps.

I've seen this cycle a thousand times... The games praised for realistic high end graphics always end up being the ugly games in time, while underappreciated games with good art style hold up.

This was the best PS5 launch title. Looked great, ran at 60fps, and lasted longer than 10 hours.

Don't be silly, Demon's Souls was out as a PS5 launch title.

Aesthetics and art style aside. Creating a game thats highly detailed and realistic looking takes alot of time and money. Just drawing it on a piece of paper which character you think will take longer to draw? The developer also needs to determine what hardware to run it on, theres a reason modern ass creed is not on switch. Lastly performance targets. Everyone wants 4k/60/120 how else are developsers supposed to reach it? You cant make a game that looks like the matrix demo and expect it to run 4k/60 let alone 120fps.

Looks very good.

Then again, I'm someone that is still impressed by the visuals of SP Chaos Theory, so what do I know.

I’m playing it on Game Pass at the moment, and I actually really like it’s stylised visuals. They’re clean, readable, and convey a playful tone that accents the story, as opposed to yet another “realism” game with a boring wanna-be movie tone.

Stylized graphics = Bad.
Just look at Guilty Gear Strive.....utter trash graphics, you cant even see the pores or peach fuzz on the characters faces.

If a publisher released a game that has semi-realistic graphics once, then all its games should have that artstyle going forward.
Because, you know a publisher can only have one artstyle.

They want to clone BotW

They want to clone BotW

Who cares if they made much better game

 

[phil_t98]

just started playing this thanks to gamepass, really like this game and the visuals are good. no idea why somebody thinks it bad?

 

[Rudius]

I think it looks nice. The characters are a bit ugly, but the environments are good. Besides, it uses the dualsense well for the bow and arrow.

I started playing it today and the

- starting night looks ugly
- starting island looks ugly
- camera is too far from character which sucks ass, even with lowest FOV setting

But I am sure other locations will look better.

I know you are sarcastic, but I gotta say, the way in these japanese games characters lack any distinctive features on their faces is just so offputting to me. I definitely vastly prefer detailed more realistic style of, say, Witcher 3 over the anime stuff of Xenoblade or whatever.

Just to illustrate, yeah I think I will always prefer

It might be your TV , I thought the game looked great on the Series X on an OLED. I have seen games with bad graphics and this game was not on that list at all.

 

[Moochi]

I played it on Game Pass pc yesterday. Even with all settings cranked to max, there's just no detail to the characters or the world. Like the guy above me said, the camera is too far away from the character.

The world looks like Jak and Daxter upscaled.

Valhalla looks like trash too, but in a different way. The animations suck, and the proportions of the characters are weird. They all look like they came out of a Bethesda character creation engine. They look generic.

He attempted a dig and failed miserably. Tune in for next time.

OP, I thought Fenyx Rising looked more than good enough for what it's attempting to do on PC. Don't know what's wrong with it on your setup.

 

[Denton]

Fenyx looks quite nice, considering the cartoon artstyle

once you get onto the main island I thought it looked loads better. not the best looking game but no means a bad looking game either

Yeah that's what I expect based on screens I saw

No idea why they had to make first impressions so poor, the first island and chosen time of day looks real poor
