13 years old game btw.
It has incredible art design to go with it. There are very few moments where the game ever looks flatAnd some fuckers in here told me this game look bad now because it doesnt have all the fancy lights and shadows
I neer liked the indoors except some cauldrons, i guess that is where the light system show the side...
yotei is a stellar looking game even on base ps5. i actually never played it on pro but i might do a ng+ run on the pro. i got the plat aswell. game is sooo beautiful.I don't get the praise of AC Shadows. Sometimes it looks good but most of the time it looks mediocre. This is how it looks on PS5 Pro
Meanwhile in Yotei
Doesn't look as good as turdisto protoshit (except the monsters) but it is such an immensely superior game.Also Dead Space Remake still looks good on PS5! Shame it never got a Pro patch...
Shadows, like cyberpunk, is one of those games that never remotely looked as good in my oled like some of the pics i saw here, maxed out in 4k on pc, but it look much better than yotei except cutscenes, console version is probably heavily gimped.I don't get the praise of AC Shadows.

It comes from the PC version with ray tracing.
On PC maxed out, it's a top 5 best-looking game of this gen for me, on par with DeS. The beauty is in the density and too much detail gets lost at console resolutions. And it's criminal that they had to cut the promised interactive smoke tech because of the potato drm appliancesAlso Dead Space Remake still looks good on PS5! Shame it never got a Pro patch...
Well it doesn't look that great anymore does it?And some fuckers in here told me this game look bad now because it doesnt have all the fancy lights and shadows
One of the best remakes ever IMO.
Oh, that's right, my bad!
Comparison pics dont really make sense. there is no interior shot for yotei and no trees.I don't get the praise of AC Shadows. Sometimes it looks good but most of the time it looks mediocre. This is how it looks on PS5 Pro

HFW is really good at close field detail. Not so great at draw distances. even mid distance. its still sonys best looking game six years into the gen which means it did do a lot of great things like this, but it also means other sony studios became way too lazy.Horizon Forbidden West has some amazing animals details. I took some screenshots a few years ago:
It can't. Their cinematics are carried entirely by fixed artificial lights that don't exist in the game world. It's not possible to light actual gameplay like that where you can move or look in any direction.
death stranding 2 had the same issue. same goes for wolverine. looks amazing in cutscenes. like garbage made by talentless hacks during gameplay.
its a very cool looking game thats actually fun to play. the story cutscenes are really good. but its just very samey.
its even worse during combat. the dreaded purple color is used to show damage markers and other effects that take up literally the entire screen. another game ruined by the purple brigade.
it does feel like that most of the time. the level design is extremely vertical with many buildings have 5-10 different levels where you can fight. it should be cool, and at times its definitely fun to fight in these levels, but it also lacks coherency like you said. No single area stands out. everything just feels like a mishmash and blends together.
no they wont. they lack the materials, the lighting, the assets to get any bumps from a future path tracing patch.
There's always a chance imo.
what games are these? all the remasters just increased the resolution and fps. only tlou1 and horizon 1 remakes got new textures and lighting, and even they didnt add ps5 quality assets, geometry, or lighting. tlou1 got tlou2 assets and lighting. horizon 1 got hfw assets and lighting.
Yep. It won't just not fix it. It could make it a lot worse. The moment they get rid of lightmaps, the game will look entirely different and would have to be relit from scratch. The BVH will have to be redone throughout the game as well. Bolting on PT is not an easy task if the game wasn't built with it in mind even when GI isn't baked. Yotei is baked to hell and back. There is literally only 3 or 4 times of day for each region because of how fixed the GI bake is. They just move Sun position and shadow angles between each setting while the ambient lighting itself doesn't change at all. Can't do any of that with PT, so nothing will look the same. Game could be pitch dark and unplayable in some areas as it wasn't designed with PT in mind, cut scenes may get over bright with all the artificial lights bouncing around etc.
My captures are from the game running on the pro ray tracing mode at 60 fps. i dont think pssr 2.0 is working all that great here. especially when i start riding on a horse, the game turns into a shimmering mess. PSSR just isnt good at resolving detail. it looks much better at the 30 fps mode which i assume is running at 30 fps. the game still has a lot of the same issues, but it at least looks clean in motion. First DS2 looked way better in the 30 fps mode on the pro, and now this. i think we need PSSR3.0.
You asked the question and then answered it lol.
But neither game proves your point though. They do not feature next GEN lighting or NexGen assets. They are both essentially crossing games despite being labeled as next gen only. They could've featured retraced G.I. or virtualized geometry, but they did not so why do you think that the ps6 versions of these games will push path racing or any kind of next gen tech.
Doom Eternal on PRO looks insane. Still amazed this looks superior to Dark Ages.
Btw Eternal runs at a higher resolution on PRO.
I actually still can't believe how weak wolverine looks, insomniac's weakest looking game this gen, looks like a crappy launch title. That's the worst looking RT reflection I've ever seen and the lighting direction is just so awful.death stranding 2 had the same issue. same goes for wolverine. looks amazing in cutscenes. like garbage made by talentless hacks during gameplay.
Yeah those RT reflections looks fucking terrible. Just use SSR like holy shit. You'll get much better results than this and better performance
This is PS3 kojima level of visuals.Before the "hatey" group send a severed pig head to my bedroom, i can also post a pic that is the epitome and final proof of how behind yotei is compared to all modern open worlds, and it is not a curated bad pic, it is actually a pic that someone posted on reee to praise the graphic, since were posting animals
This could definitely pass for ps4 launch stuff or worse.
*posts frog*
13 years old game btw.
I don't think I've seen a better example of cherry picking, that's actually quite impressive. It's incredibly easy to take terrible shots of pretty much any game, including Shadows, and make it look awful. Case in point:
Yep, it looks like they've only upgraded the environment.
I think this post qualifies as the new poster child for "missing the forest for the trees."
No one is saying Yotei has the most impressive graphics or tech - but terrible screenshots do not in any way represent what it is like in motion, let alone what it is like to play. Shadows has better assets and tech, no question. It also has no soul - it feels like playing a tech demo. Yotei feels like it was made by people who actually play games, and actually love Japan and wanted to make a real tribute. There's a reason Tsushima and Yotei are popular in Japan and Shadows is not. It doesn't feel authentic or genuine.
And don't get me started on the characters and performances, ugh. This is not cherry picking, this is the culmination of a main quest line and one of the main targets:
Again, screenshots are one thing - this is what it's like to actually play. You really want to defend this garbage?
Really? This is disingenuous, while SlimySnake's shots of Yotei were not cherry picked at all? Come on dude.
Games without artistic baked lighting suffer in more TOD conditions than they excel in. With artistic baked stuff, you can spice up a full sun afternoon. With raw RTGI you're stuck with flat and boring. I swear if RT came first in our human tech tree we would be so hyped for the advent of baked lighting and all the options it could provide.
