Hey, guest user. Hope you're enjoying NeoGAF! Have you considered registering for an account? Come join us and add your take to the daily discourse.
Fortnite Chapter 4 to utilise Unreal Engine 5.1 (Nanite, Lumen, Virtual Shadow Maps, Global Illumination, Ray Tracing, TSR)
While I’m happy many devs are picking up UE5.+. I hope more studios still develop in-house engines. Especially 1P. What some of Sonys studios and PG has accomplished with internal tools is amazing!!

Played several rounds last night and wow this game has really come a long way and while the cartoony look might be offputting for some I really like its style.
Some of the 4k videos really show it off if you have a nice display to watch it on it really shines

Man I'm back in this game now. So gorgeous to look at.

It's gorgeous, but I wonder if the beautiful graphics can get in your way when trying to spot enemies and etc.
Interiors are really dark now. When before you could easily spot an enemy hiding behind some stairs, now he will be in complete shadow
The amount of geometry, specially from trees now, is staggering, so spotting distant enemies can be a little more difficult than before

If you are the one hiding it's not a problem.
There's even a perk now for hiding in the bushes.

But if my enemy is playing on PS4/PS5 Performance or PC low settings he will see me, lolIf you are the one hiding it's not a problem.

So yeah, it may be a problem.

well on PC you have to play for like 4 or 5 matches to get rid of the shader compilation stutters, since... you know... Unreal Engine shit...
and also try using TSR balanced, looks good and gives a big performance boost.

Most players are kids bunny hoping around in their new anime skins. I can usually get to top 3 no problem with stealth. It's those final two dudes who are loaded with shit to the brim that are hard to take out.

I'm on the Series X and my daughter plays on the S. There's definitely some cutbacks in Lumen and Nanite on the Series S from what I can see.

The lighting is sublime! Especially the interiors.

well I bet the high end consoles run higher lumen settings.
but a 120fps mode with lumen would be a cool option..maybe cutting the resolution down to a dynamic 1080p
TSR should be able to upsample that nicely to 1440p

I see, it's the infamous shader stutter. You would imagine they would get that right with their flagship.UNREAL ENGINE
play for 2 hours, and maybe your shaders will mostly be compiled by then

I knew as soon as i went to see the replies to that Tweet that there would be people saying Season 1 is better. Can't wait to see DF comparison video, they know what to look for and how to properly showcase the differences, not pointing at some random bush lol (even though you can still see its better there too)

I think people just got used to fake lighting in games so they are shocked at what stuff actually should look like. In this particular case i think they think the Season 4 bush is worse because its not as shiny, fialing to realize its shaded like that because the POV of the pic is from the oposite direction of the light source.

When I play on PS5, HDR is supported and the character screen where you load up has a castle in the background. When I play on my Series X, no HDR and no castle in background. What gives?

Interesting. I do think Series X may be running at a higher average res in it's dynamic res.01011001 said Series X has movement issues as well.

It’s a small thing, but the new furniture is looking pretty amazing too.

Could it be an internet connection issue?

nope, no other games have any issues like this.
the game simply has an issue syncing your character with the server. the netcode was not originally made with the advanced movement you have in the game nowadays in mind

Strange it’s only happening for you though.

it's not, I have seen similar stuff in videos/streams of the game.
it's also happening to you, you just either don't notice it or ignore it.
it's not always as extreme as in the video I posted, it's usually smaller but equally annoying small hitches in your character's movement.
in extreme cases a jump or climb will not get registered, that's rarer but also almost certainly a desync due to the netcode not keeping up with all the slides, jumps and climb animations.
the more common little things are that your slide animations feel stuttery, your dash animation through doors triggering even tho the door doesn't open etc.
it's not only happening for me, and it's not only on a single system. it also doesn't happen for me in any other game.

Can’t say I’ve ever experienced it, but would be interested to hear if anyone else here has.

Not really, people know stylized games don't look how they are realistically supposed to, for many, that's the appeal of them.
sometimes a totally flat bush with a random rim light that's not actually being being cast by anything just looks prettier than a real bush.

wait so the comparison pictures are just ray tracing on and off right? I turned on the game last night to see. I wasnt quite blown away but the game definitely has improved visually. Even the performance aspect of it. First match was chopy from what I assume the assets getting stored in memory but everything was smooth after.

The one thing that still irritates me about this game is that your hired AI companions can't revive you if there are no surrounding threats... i was just spinning around on the floor with no enemies near me and my AI was running around like a doofus not helping me.

Anyone want a Turkish Xbox code for Checkered Past + 600 vbucks? Im not in the correct region and accidentally bought the code.
Also I redeemed a EU Xbox Checkered Past code on the Xbox store, but I play on pc. I thought if you redeem on Xbox since its cross progression Id get the content on pc but I dont see it anywhere
