I noticed drops during exploration too. It drops a few times while riding that Chocobo thingy. It’s mostly pretty solid though.

They used temporal GI. Which looks great but has its own drawbacks.
Having said that, really looking forward to their next title. That should be well next Gen only and should push boundaries of what to expect. (Fingers crossed)
For me those ugly blocky textures (because of VRS) was the main problem of that game and temporal GI (with sometimes latency in the lighting) was not that of a problem when playing.

Whatever they did on consoles should be something every other raytracing developer should copy. At least until we have better hardware in the consoles, and considering how long cross gen lasts now that’s probably not going to be a reality for another decade (assuming developers aren’t going to create games for the PS6 exclusively until a few years in).
Formula 1 looks the best in this video.
PSSR significantly improves the picture quality in some games, while it looks worse in TLOU2. It flickered more. Let's see how that develops.
The improvements of Alan Wake 2 on the Pro would also be interesting.
I think the most overlooked improvement is Dragon Dogma 2. Even without big framerate improvements PSSR should look much better than previous CBR. I also think PSSR is working wonders in this game artstyle. I was immediatly impressed how great everything looked in the video. Too bad they didn't do a comparison snippet.

I agree, what if the solution they chose has "drawback"? Everything a developer chooses to use will have drawbacks and from what we can see it was worth it, much more than the alternatives.
Very wide AA resolve and quite visible TAA trails and disocclusion artifacts certainly were not optimal for performance mode.
I quess the good thing was that wide resolve really make it look quite stable for small details.
Will be interesting to see how PSSR handles Clouds winning animation in combat simulation.
Perhaps it is commonly used for any internally developed TAA with resolve to a larger buffer.

Because TAAU is a real thing?
Would have loved for Alex to ask the Jetpack and Santa Monica folks about any potential for God of War 2018 to get a DX12 update. Ragnarok runs and streams data in so much better than GoW 2018. In that game when you're in the hub world on the boat it can stutter a bit during certain loading zones. I know it's never going to happen, but it would be amazing to have 2018 on this new renderer.
Both GoW and Ragnarok has been designed to work on slow PS4 HDDs. I am very surprised any PC equipped with SSD and decent desktop CPU would struggle here.
By the way in that regards Ragnarok has even more visible tricks (mandatory slow paced moments, cutscenes, passing through a crack etc.) to hide the loadings on PS4 that all PS5 gamers sadly needed to experience. 2018 was much better designed there. Thanks to Balrog I guess.
Has nothing to do with I/O capabilities of the hardware.. it's seemingly an API code issue which they were better able to resolve using DX12.

Shouldn't you be doing something more productive than posting on here, like, say........ making another Crysis video??
Like a CPU bench off on Ascension.....Do it....do it....do it.....do it.....

DF is moving on their turf and taking over the game analysis racket. You want to count pixels? You’ll have to kick up to the don himself, Richard "Bespoke" Leadbetter. You can also not talk about RT without first checking in with Alex, or your videos might have an unfortunate accident.Wow.....so they're on IGN branded videos now!!!
