Eh. If I got like better call saul (which I’m watching now with my gf) or say red dead redemption 2 back in the day spoiled I’d be perturbed but insomniacs Spider-Man 2?
My man you need more pixels so you can see all the same objects you looked at in the prior videogame, knock it off.
These pictures of CP actually look ok, and you can see the lighting is natural, there are other places in game where you can take unflattering screens if you want, it's not perfect.Lol, a regular gamer took this in photomode, not a virtual cinematographer. He screwed up the DoF but overall it still looks ace.
Oh and these pics in all of it's path-traced glory running on a mighty 4090 is sooooo much better right? Neck and neck with CG am I right?
Not defending spidey 2, everyone knows I was disappointed with the graphics but name me one game that isn’t marred with bugs on release. It’s been the case since the PS3 days.
That pathtracing drip.Exactly. Spider-Man 2 looks good. Good enough. I'm hyped for tomorrow. Today I've moved PS5 to my office where my smaller 42 inch LG OLED TV is located, will lock myself and play all afternoon. I have only one short business meeting at 10 AM. It's going to be great.
I honestly hate when people shit on Cyberpunk path-tracing but never actually played it.
Honestly insomniac missed a trick by not modeling their building to have things sticking out like this. I get that NYC doesnt have a lot of these kind of buildings but its a comic book adaptation. Doesnt have to be 1:1.
i thought the first spiderman game had the best spiderman story since spiderman 2. so it means something to me.
Yeah first one was alright. Best story since Spider-Man 2 is a low bar. That’s like asking me to step over a bar an inch off the ground.
The main difference in this shot is the different sun position and different material on the building.
Why so much?
Why your talks alway reek of pretentious stuff like this? What’s wrong with not wanting to be spoiled of game you are about to experience? RDR2 is nothing compared to many older movies I watched yet I also do not want be spoiled.
This is the movie equivalent of Starfield sandwiches. One, it's not as impressive as it sounds - it's hardly the first movie to have thousands of extras, and it won't be the last. It's a nice technical detail if you're interested in film production. Beyond that, most people don't give a shit, and most people won't notice the difference to the point of discriminating between it and any other large scale film. Two, it means nothing if the more fundamental stuff isn't in place. I remember reading about all the wild shit going on on set for The Revenant, only to watch the movie and think it sucked. Very few of the images, technically impressive as they were, really stuck.
Cmon, you know better than this.
I don't think I'd agree. 95% is too much.
Alan Wake 2 is about to come out dude. That seems to be hitting everything you're talking about here.
Lol
I thought there was zero ambition in the games industry? Anyway, I love everything about that game other than the story. People's brains break when it comes to Druckmann, but I can smell a lot of the bad pacing, confused intent, and stupid symbolism attempts from Haley Gross of Westworld experience.
Oh gee let me guess. Spider-Man fan?
That’s because you are only looking at movies through technology lens. Of course the movies gotta look better now, how can they look even close when the gap is 40 years. But when it comes to writing, ideas, novelty, epitome of cinema, no current movies can beat past movies. Your examples, especially Avatar 2 is all about spectacle. The Batman while good is nothing special, it’s a good detective , mystery movie but that’s about it.
To be fair this whole conversation started in regards to TASM2 cgi. As far as I’ve read it’s all been focusing on the technical side of things so you’re making a slightly moot point.
I’m a Spider Man fan for being hostile towards your opinion, yeah sure dude.
And that is why you have no rights to even talk about standards or novelty when the only thing you care about is spectacles.
Don’t be purposefully obtuse. You know that’s not what I’m talking about
Dude… what? I’m explaining to you the topic of the conversation people were having…? How did you go from that to “I only care about spectacle ergo I have no credibility”???
I really don’t see how it’s a generational leap at all - how is it one? Compared to others? That video comparing sm remastered to sm2 seemed to illustrate quite clearly that it’s pretty much par for the course it’s less of a bump than what happens within a single gen in most respects
Unity is a good pick. I went back to look at Gears of War 3 and it still look crazy because of all the prebaked lighting.
The detail on some of the multiplayer maps is still insane even today.
The 60fps curse.
Just because a game got a ps5 sku, it doesn’t make it a ps5 only game. By that logic, every cross Gen game at launch was a ps5 game. Watch dogs had the same exact enhancements as Spider-Man remastered. But textures, ray tracing etc. re village used ray tracing for its lighting on next Gen consoles, doesn’t mean it’s a ps5 game. So yes, you are arguing semantics.
It should still be compared to the base game of Spider-man 1 if we're comparing generation to generation.
In some cases yes. But we have seen several instances where the difference is obvious and massive.
I was exclusively on my PC back then but I definitely remember Gears of War 3 being a stand out console title at the time. What stood out to me years ago about it was the shading, animation work, how they were conserving extremely detailed textures with high contrast lighting, effects like DOF and object motion blur ect.
Rather than play and enjoy the game.
