DF - Horizon is a technical masterpiece on PS4 and Pro

you guys are awful quick to go into attack over every little thing.

Not watching as I'm avoiding spoilers of any kind right now, but if DF is calling this game a technical masterpiece, consider me sold three times over.

They said the same about Arkham Knight and I ended up despising that game.

You can output 5000 fps, you can't present them. Source: actually knowing what I'm talking about.

You can't output 5000fps. HDMI doesn't have the bandwidth, you can't write it at that speed successfully. Since you're talking about hitting 30fps render...

Just talking in terms of performance here. The other full game reviews are what sold me on the game first and foremost. But DF's seal of approval is what shoots that into the stratosphere for me though. I am a particular bitch about performance.

You can run games @5000fps
Just run an extremely simple game without vsync
Outputting @5000fps via HDMI is another story and obviously impossible

lol but the salt in some posts.

It's ok for a game to be amazing even if it's not available on the plastic box with your favorite corporate logo on it guys.

Also the footage of Horizon does look better than W3 pc ultra in a lot of cases here. Subjective of course, but dam. Great looking game. Nice work GG.

Again, you can output as many fps as you want. Outputting anything from a pipeline doesn't mean that you have to show this via the HDMI or anything else. Most modern games are outputing stuff to off-screen buffers all the time.

Salt? You missed by a country mile, even the platform you managed to get it wrong.

What is the relevance of them calling it a masterpiece and you not liking the game to anything in this thread?

PC gamers will never admit a game on console rivals the best PC has, Horizon and UC4 definitely do. What some studios can do on closed hardware is amazing. Let them be salty.

even the original ps4 version beats every open world game out there outside of PC versions in terms of visuals and technical sheen. its amazing how horizon has been able to do this and get really close to uc4's level of technical polish in an actual open world enviorment

So because someone thinks different they are a PC/Xbox/Nintendo gamer. The logic some of you fanboys use.

Sooo if RDR2 somehow do make it out this year, do you think it will beat those visuals or we can give Horizon the best visuals award for 2017 already?

The bar has been raised for this gen. Never doubted GGs tech wizardry..,they are in the top 5 in the industry.

But they even delivered a great game that is appealing to most people is the icing on the cake.
 
Absolutely incredible. It's no wonder why Kojima chose to use the Decima engine.

Considering we're getting locked 30 fps on vanilla PS4, i wonder what that means for the type of game DS will be. Fox engine for MGSV was 60fps on consoles wasn't it? (I played on PC so idk).

Wow, really like the way the robits maul villages/towns and that they seemingly have real defenses. One of the things I disliked about the Witcher 3 was how there are necrophages and drowners mere meters away from children playing and dancing.
I hope traces of damage are persistent and vary depending on player performance.

Hard to believe that Guerrilla Games went from Shellshock nam 67 to this masterpiece in a lil over 10 years.
 
Been watching YouTube and Gamersyde videos and I keep asking myself how the hell did an open world game look like this on a console. This game is just crazy good looking. And it performs well to boot.
