Horizon: Zero Dawn - Graphics de-Gushing
- Thread starter Clukos
- Start date
few technical things I don't like though:
when you see the light reflection of the sun or the moon even if it's located behind the mountains, the same for god rays going through mountains when it's behind.
That's not just horizon, lots of games have these.
Nothing game breaking, just nipticking, but i can't wait to play the ps5 remaster ^^

They have to be low res, according to the presentation if they would render the clouds at full res every frame with the technique they were using they would take 20ms alone, to get clouds like these on a Ps4 in real time you need to make some sacrifices
They explain how they got the clouds to render from 20ms cost down to 2ms (that was 2 years ago)
Fixes the tod transitions now they are a lot slower, seems like they set a set pace for how the tod is progressing. It was something I would point out as a negative but they've fixed it so there's that. Haven't seen the weather change to see if that's slower too.

There is also an interesting way shadows are rendered in this game. Shadows cast from anything but Aloy produce a soft and diffused look while Aloy herself casts a sharp, high res shadow, so much so that even thin lines like the bowstring produces little jagged edges. I've never seen this method of shadow rendering in other games so far.
The lod of the machines is just incredible. You can see machines in the distance miles away. The animations aren't running at half refresh rate like most games do after a set distance as well. Just one example:
Try and spot it
StormBird or glinthawk
Same for Thunderjaws
