i am late to the party. Got to say, its been a long time since I was so impressed by a game's visuals. I am using the balanced mode and the IQ looks pristine. DIdnt notice the problems that were being reported at launch so I guess they have been ironed out with the patches. Balanced mode is butter smooth and the image looks simply stanning.
It insane how detailed the flora is. The moss is super high in detail. Down to the tiniest. The art and style of the game is simply outwordly. The fact that this is not a linear walking simulator says a lot about the talent and technical accomplishment. Cant believe this is the studio that gave us the inconsistent slideshow and bug fest with Killzone1 on PS2.
What I find super impressive is how consistent and how close the gameplay the lighting is to its cutscene version. And this is an open world game. Mindblown. You can even see the light interacting properly with the character's pubils during gameplay.
I am super excited and very very delighted. I dont know how the PS4 looks like but the PS5 is the most impressive game I played to date and looks next gen even though it is a cross gen game.
What game do you guys think competes with this? I cant think of any. Not even Cyberpunk 2077 in ultra.
