Anyone know what the in-game time interval is? How many minutes in a day?

Let me explain this better - the reason we choose to praise a stable 30fps is simple; the give stability the attention it deserves. You said it yourself, a lot of games DO NOT hit the target frame-rate, right? By praising games that DO hit that level, it's positive reinforcement and good press.Did you? Or maybe anyone from DF did? Why are we talking about this? Why are you talking about some "lazy devs"? Do you even understand what I'm saying? That praising a console game for a fact that it manages to hold locked 30 fps 99.9% of the time is rather strange since you'd expect that 99.9% of console games would do this by default.
It's not a jab at Horizon or DF or "lazy devs", it's just a fact which seems weird to me. I don't know why we have so many games which struggle to keep it at steady 33.3ms - hell, there's an example of FFXV latest patch where keeping it steady have nothing to do even with the quality of graphics. It just feels like the platform holders QA should probably be better? Or maybe some devs really need to educate themselves on how modern GPUs and multicore CPUs work?
But again, there nothing "difficult" in having a locked 30 fps in any console game. If a game can't handle this then it's an issue of the development team which they should really take care of via patches or at least in their next project - which again is not the case quite often (BB->DS3 stuttering?) which makes this whole situation even more bizarre.
Clouds absolutely move and are incredible. The reason nothing moves in that video is due to the fact that it was taken in photo mode. I made a lot of similar shots as well since you can adjust time of day within photo mode - but all animation is frozen while doing so. During actual gameplay, the clouds, grass etc all move.Beautiful
Dies this game have real time GI? Some scenes I don't see any light bounce
And do clouds move? It was standing still the whole time in that vid
Beautiful

Yes the clouds Move, they aren't because this is using "photomode" to capture the scenes
sorry what is GI?
Global illumination
I really hope this sells we need more devs taking risks like this and be awarded. Bring back the good ol adventure games
If we're comparing the PC version it comes out on top easily. Apples to oranges.
People gotta chill out with the circlejerking in here.
Lmao you played it on PC? But eh thats just like your opinion man.horizon looks a lot better than witcher 3 regardless of platform

It's an odd one to compare.Lmao you played it on PC? But eh thats just like your opinion man.

If I get a pro but not a 4K tv will I see enough difference over a reg PS4 on my 1080p tv?
I've played Witcher 3 maxed on PC and Horizon looks much better.
I mean, disregarding things like vegetation distance, shadow quality, ao quality, or subjective ideas about art or hair rendering, I think it is pretty safe to say that Horizon Zero Dawn looks better than The Witcher 3.
The materials and post processing are quite a bit better. It also has volumetric shadows, those clouds, and (seemingly) lit valley fog.
You would hope things like that would be better though given the years between the game releases and the fac thtat one has the luxury of targetting one single piece of hardware.
It looks lovely, but I don't think I'll ever be able to call a game running at 30fps a technical masterpiece.
Good for you. Luckily those who are talking about actual technical engine details and not FPS are making the call.
i never encountered this level of annoying talk when SOTC came out on PS2 sub 20 at points. It was still regarded as a technical masterpiece

We've come a long way from PS4 would melt trying to do Watch Dogs 1 visuals on PC(post downgrade even!)
To think we've got so far on base PS4 no less with a good FPS and IQ in games like Horizon. PS4 has come onto its own. Can't wait for Spiderman

I don't see why you are being so defensive. It's not like I'm shitting on the game.
or even witcher 2 lol

I'm not defensive, i am irritated by your spotty definition of 'technical masterpiece' in a technical thread, where John and DF have laid out their parameters.
"Lol not 60fps!" is basically nonsense, its a youtube video comment
Lmao you played it on PC? But eh thats just like your opinion man.
I don't see how it's nonsense, this is a thread discussing the technical side of the game. Would you rather me circle jerk about how godly the game is?
I'd just prefer the game would either be in 60fps or have a 60fps option. In my (obviously unpopular) opinion, 30fps is insufficient in providing a solid gameplay experience, and it's a shame that pretty graphics are preferred.
I am sorry my post upset you.
Witcher 3 is a beautiful looking game, and I expect Cyperpunk 2077 to look insane. But as others have said, the lighting, modelling and effects here look more impressive. Rendering also looks better to me. Witcher 3 certainly looks more polished on PC compared to consoles, it clearly looks better. But it isn't a fundamentally different looking game, even with the mods I have seen. The stuff Horizon does better still holds across the PC platform, because they don't change in a significant way.

pc versions of multiplatform games this gen are so similar to the console versions, maybe more so then ever

You have to take into consideration what is on screen. Hitting a stable 30fps is not impressive in and of itself, it's when you do it within the context of a game like this.
I'll get some soon but here's a couple random caps of the motion blur

Are there no benefits to 1080p Pro?
State of Decay?
supersampling, better AF, draw distance, among other things

One good game finally and we're giving them that title?Guerrilla Games are shaping up to be one of the best first party developer on PS4. Might surpass Naughty Dog in technical details.
