I'm just finishing up a replay now so gonna wait til after to watch it but this looks good, I'm playing at silly resolutions so I'd like to see how the whole game looks at lower resolutions, I switched to 720p to see how it looked and it was fantastic, everything was still perfectly readable at reasonable distances and it made some parts look more detailed than they actually are due to the brain-filling-in business that happens.
A great world building benefit gotten by playing it at 4K+ is that you can read all the computer displays and door signs from like 30 feet away which is sweet.
edit - Also I forgot how amazing the levitating chainsaw weapon sounds, I could record that and force my nephew and niece into being good with it its so horrible:
As awesome as that sounds I don't think thats actually 4K, unless the video encode was a lower resolution and they still put it on youtube as "4K", look at the aliasing, its nuts, I think its 1080p or less even, if the capture truly was 4K. Unless I'm missing something or you/they just meant a 4K output.
Auto HDR sounds interesting though, I just have SDR on the PC obviously, only thing I would say is the game barely ever contains actual real darkness or pitch black, only when the lights go out completely which is only in a few moments, near the start outside the first toilet, in a corridor around the time you are going to hydroponics and some other few times from there. I'd be really interested to see what it does for highlights though, they are already crazy bright for me in SDR due to every light just being pure max white like they used to do to make it bright on old tellys. If thats just converted to "max backlight" in a TVs HDR mode that could look mental, have you played it yourself? What TV did you use if yeah?

Played through the first and second games on xsx and they aren’t 4K. They use auto hdr. These YouTube videos are so misleading. They are like 720p. I have the 2nd game on ps3 and I did a comparison myself. Same res.

I think you guys are right, unfortunately i only got a XSS right now and thought the XSX could really do 4k. Youtube videos are really misleading sometimes-

The game does use the auto hdr but I think the implementation is a mixed bag.

Yea it’s a real problem unfortunately. The thumbnails use all these logos to lure viewers in.

looks candy coloured... auto hdr should just manage brightness on certain elements and do not touch saturation

I had 8800Ultra + Q6600 back then and this PC could run console ports almost for entire generation (in 2012 my 8800U has fried and I had to buy a new PC). According to Alex 8800GT was 2x times faster compared to x360 GPU, but he play this game at 60fps (you need 2x faster GPU for that already) and at 2x higher resolution on top of that, so 8800GT was clearly much faster than that.

I played through it on an Athlon 64 and a 8600GS(took me year to save up for it and a 8600GT was almost double the price), I don’t remember which settings I ran it at but I do know that it ran great at the time and it looked awesome, can’t wait for the reboot!
