Hellblade 2 is even better, even if it it's not 60 fps, so it's not a fair comparison (it's also very, very linear compared to demon's).
Wukong is a bit blurry, the shadows in some spots are not great and it has big framerate dips.
Avatar is a mystery to me, subjectively it doesn't look that great. But objectively, 720p to 1440p with fsr 2 in the 60 fps mode is blurry on a 55" tv.
Lastly, Alan wake 2 is very aliased, even in the 30 fps mode. I finished the game and some spots were dropping the framerate HARD (the beach set piece near the end). I know that demon's souls barely has any facial animations, as that's not the focus in that game, but in Alan, sometimes, they are frustratingly bad.
Demon's is just a very polished visual experience. The graphics are so complete that you don't think much about them. The resolution is high enough that it looks sharp and the framerate is rock solid.
Lol, how did I miss thatHence my "resolution and frame rate aside" comment which I thought you were also putting aside in your original comment about DS2, because you separated those aspects out from your initial comment on it having the best graphics
Haven't tried it but took a quick look at some videos... indeed my first impression is that it's not VSM - the shadows are all too uniformly soft/blurry and never really get sharp anywhere.
It is using RT reflections in the demo. You'd have to point out the specific timestamp you saw but there may be spots where the RT scene isn't accurate enough compared to the full detail models.
Ah yeah not sure what that's from. Could be some of that geo is culled out in RT scene in that view. The demo was actually put together relatively quickly with a relatively small team, but I think it came out pretty well all things considered. In any case it is definitely using RT reflections!
Software or hardware? I am asking this because of the vampire reflections if using software mode...
Triangle RT, "hardware". In Lumen (and most RT implementations) screen space rays are still used together with triangle traces as well since the RT scene lacks detail in scenes of any significant complexity.
It's still an experimental feature so I don't know the plans on that front. It's a bit of a tougher sell for Fortnite as the things that it enables are not really applicable on many of the most popular platforms that it supports. It could of course be useful for user generated content that is more driven by local lights and so on, but I would guess it's not as much of a priority in the short term as stuff that affects more of the user base.
