Digital Foundry Article Technical Discussion [2020]

Just for the sake of argument, what title looks like nextgen? Or maybe what does a nextgen title look like?

Maxed out Cyberpunk 2077.

Thats the thing, we dont have any. DF said this top in their livestream, no more ps1 to ps2, ps2 to ps3 and finally ps3 to 4 jumps in graphics.

We get faster loading and rt puddles and floors.

to early to say, most games are crossgens now, maybe we will have jawdrop graphics moments further in this generation

Would it help if you thought of the PS5/SeriesX as mid-gen upgrades of PS4/One, so you're getting upgrades from PS360 level games.

 

[Johnny Awesome]

Lol.

I appreciate the move to 60 fps, but chasing 4k is the issue.

When I'm sitting 12 feet from my 75" TV I'm not sure the increased detail going from 1080p to 4k is worth 4× the TF.

I'm betting the wow moment comes when a beautifully lit, wonderfully textured, RT enabled game comes along that is using all 12 TF but only rendering at 1200p or maybe 1440p.

They're wasting too many resources on resolution right now IMO.

yet at this gen launch some were saying KZ:SF was barely better looking than KZ3, just like a HD PS3 game.

This day and age of console tribalism and fanboy nonsense... everything is subjective in the eye of the beholder.

Three AAA console launch games we have seen gameplay looks pretty good AC Valhalla, Demons soul's and Spiderman Miles Morales. This is not bad.

I liked a lot the deep dive trailer of AC before the game looks not very good but final polish is great.

The problem here is that the notion of “looking next gen” is so subjective, this early in the game especially, that I’m not sure about the usefulness of debating this.

Yup. Heck, Sackboy looks high-quality and next-gen to me...

It is much better than Knack on PS4. First game I tried on a demo kiosk on PS4. But I prefer R&C Rift Apart.

 

[Johnny Awesome]

Cyberpunk 2077 should look pretty nice too.

I prefer wait to see next generation consoles versions. We have to wait 2021.

Comments made during the CDPR investor call made it sound more like 2022.

Fiscal or Calendar?

Calendar. Add on CDPR have not shipped anything on time for over a decade.

Yes cant agree more, we can blame '4k' then

Going by footage i think is real, I feel Horizon 2 looks like the best representation of next gen visuals.

Lets hope not.

Better than Hellblade 2?
