Geez, alright already, we get it, John loves CRTs and the whole DF team tiptoes around presenting them in a ... dim light.
DF talking about the latest footage of Miles Morales:
Looking very good! And this is the first time I’ve been able to play a 4K video on my iPhone! Must have been the latest update.

Youtube 4k?
Yep! Only ever went up to 1080p before.
No confirmation but I don’t see how they’re gonna have a “4K” 60fps mode, with RT on? Unless that 4K is spelled 1080p/1440p?
Great video as always. Insomniac's SM:MM RT solution looks damn impressive for a first next-generation game. Funny how 2yrs back, the vast majority of people thought RT wasn't going to be a thing on the next-generation of consoles, especially on AMD based hardware. Now here we are...
Yes seeing it too, good. Nice video from DF aswell, thats how cross gen games can be done, still looking next gen while having a PS4 version.

I wouldn't say it looks nextgen but for sure impressive lineup title
This is all the improvement on PS5 better character model, strand based hair and facial animation, more destruction and raytracing.
Yes you have shared this many times before. Its impressive, like BFV i tested going from low/med settings to ultra with RT at 60fps 4k, from current to next gen graphics. Spiderman basically also shows cross gen can work if done right. Same for horizon and other cross gen titles. its probably alot more effort but you reach a larger market.
Materials is probably better too, but you said in normal rendering.
I just correct your error. There is much more into this cross gen version of Spiderman than typical RT cross gen games with the expensive part create LOD0 character model with more details for PS5.They will probably take the same approach for Horizon2.
And this is the reason, the remastered cost 20 dollars/euros, work on higher detailed assets.

in the end it doesn't looks so much better (more like highend pc version of ps4 game) and selling separatly remaster of spiderman is rather marketing failureMaterials is probably better too, but you said in normal rendering.

And this is the reason, the remastered cost 20 dollars/euros, work on higher detailed assets.
Wait the PS4 version and compare to it, I think it will look much better on PS5 than typical cross gen games. I was very angry against Sony when they announced some cross gen games, the gameplay is affected but at least visually they did an effort and I hope this the same for Horizon 2 this is more expensive but add at least a higher details LOD0 version for part of the assets, higher res texture is not enough.
I can guarantee you most of the time memory bias make an a game looks better than it look in reality.
Marketing failure, wait the sales of the Remasterd version before saying this.
PC version of a current gen games have exactly the same LOD0 geometry assets than PS4 version and it is visible.
This is what looks like a typical cross gen game in cutscene and some gameplay with cinematic angle. And RT is present too in Watchdogs.

It definitely is more effort but it's not unprecedented; SEGA were doing cross-gen back ports of Sonic 1 to Master System back in the early '90s, without any of the modern day programming environment/scalability amenities, either
