I don’t remember there being a toggle for chromatic aberration? If not, made provide one to turn that stuff off. Might help.

Otherwise, waiting for the actual game release before buying as this could be improved.

Playing Rebirth right now on my 7600x/7900xt PC is pretty nice at full 4k 120fps tho

 

[TheShocker]

The performance mode is notably worse looking than the performance mode in remake, which is odd.

It’s the same engine, with 2+ years of development. It should look better.

I played on graphics mode, just as I am with FF16. It’s a bummer, but I don’t want my game looking like a blurry mess.

I honestly feel like neither of these consoles were ready to tackle 4k resolution.

 

[King Dazzar]

When will people learn.

We're in the 30fps years now, sometimes 40 (good GOD quality modes at 40 are incredible).

You're not going to keep getting visual improvements at comparable settings. Adapt. Join me in 30fps land.

Played it quality. It's fine. Looks great. People are nitpicking. Gotta have muh 60 fps on a four year old console that was underpowered on release.
People going out of their way to post this shite are trying to attack the game for some other reason. Just wait for a PC version.

This is an UE4 game, that looks like a previous gen game (and I'm being generous). If it looked amazing, maybe you could have the argument that its the consoles fault as the visuals are pushing the hardware to the limit. But we're not seeing anything here to justify why it looks like arse at 60fps. Lack of technical competence is all that I saw during the demo. It's right that its being called out on it.

 

[MagiusNecros]

Oh, I thought it was coming in may?

Must have got confused

All they said was exclusivity ends after 3 months. Doesn't mean there is a PC launch in 3 months. Could be 6 months to a year IMO

 

[Mister Wolf]

You guys opted to purchase big screen TVs and now the poor image quality of games becomes all the more glaring.

 

[Reallink]

The comically terrible gameplay character models were featured prominently in the trailers, it's intentional, not a "demo problem". They're just awful ld1 or ld2 models they had to make to accomodate 60fps on an underpowered console.

 

[TidusYuna]

With features like these, Cloud is going to steal Squall’s girl Rinoa.

 

[RoadHazard]

There should be no need for N64 quality textures on PS5 even if you are trying to run at 60.

 

[RoadHazard]

Image quality (i.e. rendering resolution) is one thing, those textures are another thing entirely.

Cloud looking like a Gerber baby

 

[nikos]

Yeah, it looks pretty bad in performance mode. Graphics mode is unplayable. 60 FPS even looks kind of janky with movement.

Waiting for the PC version. Not gonna take a compromise on one of my favorite games.

 

[rkofan87]

Performance mode sucks yet again. Shocking.

Almost as if console are meant for 30fps gameplay.

You are not going to get good looking 60fps games mid gen unless they have ZERO ambition and water everything down in the game.

Devs are not talented enough to hit 60 and make it look good.

But you stubborn framerate warriors will never learn.

I hope performance mode runs at 480i with pop in and graphical glitches.

60fps for life.

 

[Mister Wolf]

Just play in graphics mode:

30fps looks like stop-motion animation when turning the camera and motion blur is pure cope.

 

[rkofan87]

if the game play and story are good why does this mater?

 

[Spyxos]

Just play in graphics mode:

I always do.

 

[Elios83]

30fps looks like stop-motion animation when turning the camera and motion blur is pure cope.

For me it's perfectly fine honestly.
Unfortunately the only other option is waiting for the game to be available on more powerful hardware (PS5 Pro/PC). I doubt anything will change in performance mode on PS5, that's the compromise to get 60fps.

 

[Mindman]

I nearly backed out of the PS5 version because of how bad performance mode looks. But then I came back to the demo and played on quality mode a day later. Adjusted pretty quickly and will still get it day 1 even though it's in 30 fps. Looks fine after adjusting to it. But would love a proper performance mode.... SquareEnix for ya

 

[Zuzu]

1440p? Wow, looks sub-1080p. Something’s gone very wrong with this. I really hope it’s improved dramatically. We also need a 40fps mode. It’s a necessity for this game imo.

I don’t think it’s unreasonable, 3 years into current gen, to expect performance mode textures to look better than last gen. As others have pointed out, some of these textures look worse than 7 year old FF15.

 

[Bojji]

I think everyone expects worse IQ in performance mode. Dog shit textures, models and bad lighting are another thing entirely and they are the same in both modes.

Best/Worst rain in videogames (Sponsored by Resident Evil 4 Remake)

Watching the awful rain on Resident Evil 4 Remake I wonder what would be the best and worst rain ever seen in videogames. Worst (recently): Resident Evil 4 Remake (WIP, maybe). Not terrible, water even has color and lightning properties, but still pretty bad for a 2023 AAA game. Grand Theft...

Once the game come people going to pretending that they never b**ch about graphics.

It's totally possible to have a nice clean and sharp image at 1080p even on a 4k screen if the implementation is good. In my experience stuff like texture quality is more important in producing a sharp image than the actual resolution. Hand on heart, something like Guardians of the Galaxy at 1080p looks way cleaner than this game's quality mode at 4k.

 

[leizzra]

Well, one of the problems with some of the shots (with characters faces) is lighting. The thing is - it looks the same in most of the games ( like The Last of Us Part II, Uncharted 4, God of War) where you have a weather with clouds and no sun. It means that the scene lighting doesn’t have a directional light source only Sky light (HDRI if you like). Because of that you don’t have a proper shadows, mostly ambient occlusion.

Overcast sky is hard to make it right because usually it’s flat. Everything is lighted the same way because it’s this ambient lighting. Even with Ray Tracing it’s not much better. What they could do is to make AO maps stronger, so that the holes in the nose would be darkened more, but it would also work for the rest of AO maps so they would need to make some additional lighting layer in renderer.

Anyway this is how lightning in gameplay works. In the cutscenes they could use proper lights to simulate this weather but with ability to fine tune it. But cutscenes are easier to control then the gameplay and have bigger overhead for extra effects.

As I said you can find the same problems in most of the games with this type of weather.

 

[squarealex]

I’ll wait for pc

And people gonna complain because, stuttering, bad port or whatever.

History repeat itself.

 

[squarealex]

Just play in graphics mode:

FF16 looks better.

 

[YeulEmeralda]

Epic first maybe with a year or two, then steam a year after :/

So you can pick up the intergrade version on Steam.

People choosing Performance Mode and expecting Quality.

Multiple examples of low quality assets in the Graphics mode have been posted already in this and the other thread.

Mode doesn't change that.

 

[TransTrender]

Not a good look and I hope it gets fixed.
When you have Starfield face you know there's a problem.

 

[Represent.]

no

Well then this thread is useless. Stop complaining about shit graphics and performance when you force undermanned and untalented devs to cater to your ridiculous needs. If you want 60fps buy a PC.

You framerate warriors are holding this gen back more than anything else.

 

[keefged4]

The resolution on Performance mode is among some of the worst I've seen this generation. I wish that they'd just release the PC version at the same time, not this timed console exclusivity pish. I shall suffer the 30fps just because its FF7 this time. Only reason I still have a PS5 tbh.

 

[hinch7]

So you can pick up the intergrade version on Steam.

Just going off the releases from the first game. That arrived 2 years after its intial launch from PS4, onto Steam with Intergrade. That's assuming if Epic moneyhatted it again and we know Sony has a 6 month timed exclusivity on other platforms.

Hopefully not as I would replay it again on PC; for the extra image quality, performance plus mods. FF7R looks gorgeous at 120fps.

 

[Mister Wolf]

And people gonna complain because, stuttering, bad port or whatever.

History repeat itself.

At least that can be fixed.

This comment is so incredibly sad.

Saying that this is like any other game is just plain ignorance.

According to players, most of these problems occur mainly when the game has been selected to run in performance mode, which offers 60 FPS.

In this mode, Final Fantasy VII Rebirth's resolution drops drastically in order for the game to maintain its frame rate (60 FPS). Many believed that the visual problems were due to the low resolution, but it seems that the problem is more serious than it seems, according to John Linneman of Digital Foundry.

Yikes

Def waiting on the pc version like I did the first one.

What pathetically ugly visuals lmao games need path traced lighting already. Compare close ups on random NPCs in Cyberpunk 2077 with path tracing to this garbage. It's night and day. 0 shading or lighting on Cloud and Sephiroth's face in those screenshots.

i am not complaining its the rest.

 

[april6e]

Fanboys can do all the damage control they want. The performance mode visuals are unacceptable. This isn't just whining. There is legitimately something wrong with this game's performance mode and it needs to get addressed before launch.

Indeed, the game seems amazing so it would be a shame If the full release has major technical issues. At least fix the character models-lighting, cloud doesn't even look like cloud during gameplay.

 

[delfrickintree]

The 30fps commies need to be rounded up and exterminated for stifling the advancement of the human race. They advocate for laziness and low standards because they are uncomfortable that others are out there pushing the limits of performance. They fear the alpha gamers and want soft and comfortable visuals to keep them safe. They have the audacity to blame their graphical woes on the performance-chads despite graphics eternally lagging behind. Their own visual acquity is below average and are easy prey to the natural order of system specs. We must cut the dead weight in order to achieve new benchmarks.

 

[Outlier]

Yeah... It is too blurry, so I'll be getting the Complete Edition on PC. :^)
