Having to switch like that sounds exhausting

Lol i know, but if you can really change on the fly without the need of reloading the area its not that bad.

Also, i'm not gonna switch all the time, i'm probably gonna play large section in perf and large exploration\slow moments in res, it's not like you need to switch every 5 min.

Sometimes i'm probably gonna forget to put res mode and just go with perf mode.

 

[mrMUR_96]

Is there any difference between the 30 and 60fps modes besides resolution?

 

[GymWolf]

Yup, that’s me literally shooting my load all over Aloy….I’ll have you know, she’s naked under there.

Knowing her, she is gonna snap your dick with a cunty smirk on her face, be aware of this if you don't want to be called Denchdickless in the future...

 

[GymWolf]

Just watched the gamersyde footage on the tv YouTube app and it does seem like there's a significant difference in fidelity between 4k and the performance mode.

That kind of sucks. It's the first time this generation that's been a problem for me. Normally I can barely notice the difference.

I can't figure out if they've just fucked up the performance mode or if the density of the environments and quality of the assets etc just makes 4k more impactful than usual.

Otoh, for some weird reason the 60fps doesn't actually look that smooth anyway, so maybe it's not as big a sacrifice. Hmmm. I'm guessing I'd probably choose to just play this at 30fpa tbh.

I think it's the amount if geometry details that make look 4k mode so good.

Perf mode just lose a lot of these details at mid to long range.

Not far enough.

Just wait until you can get up close and personal with her in the metaverse.

So muted and colorless. They should have just canceled the game and issued a written apology to everyone instead. /s

Every one of those screens is very color uniform with not much variation and they’re also not very bright colors.

What I mean by colorful is many different bright colors on screen at once.

It’s not really comparable to something like mario. But I was NOT saying that’s the only reason I don’t like its visual design nor is that only what I like.

If this game was multiplat there’s no way it would have this level of defense force. I don’t like recent ubisoft games visually either but I get no defense force sent to me for stating that.

Is the report button getting a workout tools?

 

[GymWolf]

I'll be happy to work the street corners on the weekends to raise the funds necessary to buy a PS5.

I mean I'll suck ass if I have to.

[DeepSpace5D]

Had to free up some space but looks like it’ll be well worth it.

 

[GymWolf]

Who cares how you wanna play it.

Play it at 60fps if you want or play it at 30fps if you want.

That’s literally why there’s different modes.

I don’t know why people have to defend their choice like it makes a difference.

Play the game how you see fit. If they didn’t want you to, then they wouldn’t have included different options.

I’m not just talking to the person I quoted. I’m talking to everyone that feels the need to tell people that their choice is the “right one”. Who cares. Just play the freaking game.

This is a forum, sometimes we like to discuss things, we are all chill around here.

For me is a pleasure discussing this stuff.

Yea this obliterates the first Horizon in the visuals department.

This is fucking beautiful man, good lord. I didn't think we would see anything that tops RDR2 for a while but I was wrong. The art work as well as the fidelity is just stunning.

 

[pratyush]

People who were disappointed that GOW and HFW are not full next gen ( now current gen) game, after seeing this, how much you have changed your opinion?

Personally I never cared that much and most probably full current gen game will not look that better at this time anyway due to less production time. Maybe by 2024 or 2025 we will have games that will push Series X and PS5 to its full potential.

Fantastic. This video just made the short wait until Friday a little bit longer.

Thank Christ it releases by local time zone and not PST. I took Friday off work and intend on napping Thursday night then playing this mother until well after the sun comes up.

 

[ckaneo]

Horizons only flaw to me is how fucking aggressive the fog is. RDR2 had unreal draw distances. It can be done

“I don’t like thing.”

Dude you are in a forum, and when you say stuff like horizon doesn't look colorful enough when it clearly is the most colorfull realistic open world game out there, you must expect some snarky response...

It's like if i enter in a botw topic saying that the game has no physics...

How in the absolute fuck is this not colorful or muted?? Are you watching those pics on a nokia 3310??

I don’t like botw color either fir the exact same damn reason.

Being butt hurt over not having a PS5 to play HFW next gen? Couldn’t be me.

It didn't changed a bit.

All the eyecandy in this world can't substitute a game made from the ground up on ps5.

Physics, stuff on screen at the same time, world interaction, level design etc, are still dictated by a 2013 notebook cpu, a 5400rpm hard disk and a gpu that was already middling at best on release 9 years ago, the ps5 version has the exact same physics\distruction of horizon 1 and you don't have 3x times the numbers of enemies or dinobot on screen during "massive" battles.
If you think that a modern ryzen can't do better than an old ass jaguar then i have bridge to sell...

When people are gonna see horizon 3 exclusive on ps5 all these talks are gonna be an hilarious relic of the past.

 

[GymWolf]

You named mario odissey, that game sure is colorful, but you can't expect the same exact color palette in a somehow realistic game.

If you find horizon colors muted, i have real difficult on thinking at other open world games or non-cartoony games with a more vibrant world...

 

[GHG]

Oh now I see...

 

[azertydu91]

Sorry, I posted at work and got called into a meeting for an hour.

I did watch the video and Skill Ups (I always prefer DF). I'm not exactly sure why it would make a difference though as the thing I said is like my opinion or something.

Oh don't get me wrong I was simply making a pun based on your username, it was in no way a real attack toward you, I thought the Edit made that pretty clear.
And honestly some people have posted far worse opinion than yours here you have all the rights to think it doesn't look that great, I would disagree of course but at least you have the maturity to post your opinion as what it is , an opinion.Some people here seem to think that their opinion is an universal truth no matter how many times they were proven wrong.

I didn’t *expect* anything. I just was giving one reason of many why I don’t like it. Its color.

An open world game doesn’t need more color than hzd for me to rate it higher.

Can we stop making assumptions and just move on?

The thing with VFXVeteran is that he definitely knows his shit - the man is a pro ffs.

But the combination of very specific fetishes (“on pc you can activate SSSONAOMB and that’s so much better!”) and the fact most people (including me) have way, way different way to look at graphics, means whenever there’s a new console “graphics showcase” the amusement is guaranteed.

If you don't see how colorful that screen is than i don't know from where the dumbassery really come from my dude...

Some people literally don't like that the game because now is TOO colorful compared to the previous game and now it doesn't look realistic enough...

It comes from you because you thought you had a point with botw, I said I don’t like it either and you are still bitching.

Maybe they should play it on a black and white tube.

This conversation happened because A: it’s a new release and B : it’s playstation on gaf.

I am the guy who loves first Gears of war color palette
But FW will look marvelous on Oled... if hdr is good. It was pretty bad in zero dawn

Sure thing, that's why it happened, not because you are saying questionable things like the game having muted colors...

Better cutting the discussion here, we are just running on a circle here.

Gears 1 has some ugly color…. BUT some nice atmosphere at times.

I can still enjoy the og gears no problem.

 

[luca_29_bg]

GG really took the water criticism of the first game personally because wow did they knock this out of the fucking park.

And they went a step further under water.

But still no water physic with deformable geometry when Aloy walk/ swim in it ? Only ubisoft knows to do properly this kind of water!!! I hate shaders based ripples so much!!!!!

 

[Hunnybun]

I don't know what you did read, but this is what DF writes about:
However, curiously, similar to Forza Horizon 5, the choice between gaming at 30fps and 60fps may not be as straightforward as it sounds. While 60fps may seem like the obvious choice bearing in mind the 2160p vs 1800p checkerboard difference, it's actually the case that the graphical quality is far richer in the 30fps mode. Both myself and Rich Leadbetter (who also played the game) opted to play at 30fps. Double the frame-rate is nice, but you're missing out on a decently-sized chunk of the next-gen (current-gen?) experience. Whichever way you choose to play, however, we highly recommend that you buy this game.

I would be really happy if it was just lower res, but unless they are lying (on a thing that would be visible by others and that would harm their image), it's like I reported. They even say that's "far" richer, so it doesn't even look a negligible thing.
I'm sure it will be a looker anyway even at 60 fps, tough.

I'm pretty sure you're misinterpreting what they're saying.

I think they mean the graphics are far richer BECAUSE of the increased resolution, not other things in addition to the resolution.

Knowing DF, if there were major cutbacks to settings, they'd have talked at length about them, not just vaguely hinted at them.

This thread has morphed into something hilarious. Starting to see the greater appeal of the games side of things, being an OT and communities man myself.
