IQ looking sharp

Edit: Also a live demo from EGX

Even good old PS4 version looks beautiful, the foliage density in this game is crazy. I really can't wait to see the HDR version in person, imagine everything looks so much more vibrant, brighter and with eye popping highlights.

Pretty, but lots of compression artifacts. Hard to judge the IQ from those.

I think these shots are old now that I remembered. Here's the higher quality png shots.

Sweet.

Good thing is, game looks and runs great even on regular PS4.

 

[Nesh]

What impresses me the most is the quality of the art. The detail and style of the models are truly beautiful

My friend working in retail had a meeting this weekend with presentation of future games for retail manager.

Last build of FF XV run pretty good on base PS4 but the most impressive game was Horizon Zero Dawn on a PS4 Slim... And he saw Zelda on Wii U...

Yeah I don't expect FFXV to look nearly as impressive as Horizon ZD by any means. Hope to get some high res HDR files so people with 4k HDR sets can view them properly.

So far Square Enix has always managed to get its shit together when it comes to numbered FF games.

And Horizon looks absolutely yummy in good old 2K.

Love that Jurassic Park Brachiosaurus homage! I think they got it down to every key frame.

to every key frame.

Well no... Tallnecks walk totally different. They completely move both right legs, and then left legs. I have no clue how they maintain their balance.

wow, didn't notice that before. What a major oversight on the part of animators.

Guess they're based on giraffes then. But everything in that scene strikes me as that Brachio from JP more than anything.

Pilates.

Probably inertia due to their weight distributed through their whole height.

 

[milk]

It works on giraffes once they are walking at a certain speed. That robot was walking to slowly for it to have enough inertia to fight several seconds of inbalance. Specially considering a giant metal robot is probably heavier than flesh and bone.

Wow! I did not know that. I never watched them closely, always assumed they walk normally like elephants.

a little more of Horizon

 

[ultragpu]

Finally saw the Pro version in person at Pax AU today, the HDR was really lovely, much more pronounced than UC4's in fact, colors were also very vibrant. One thing I noticed was the textures were so much sharper or higher res compared to the OG version as the dude cycled them over. I think it might be due to the 4k checkerboarding but I do have a feeling the texture res was on a higher setting tho. But honestly HZD was easily the most impressive HDR Pro enabled game I've seen yet, the vast scale, draw distance, object density, volumetrics and lighting looked breathtaking in person.
HDR on

HDR off

I think the texture detail shows up better partly because that's where you lose most in non-HDR situations due to too small contrast differences. Didn't they mention this here and there before?
