It is by far the worst cutscene of the game other looks not so bad.Graphics is better than in previous builds. Significantly less pop ups, but in my opinion they still distracts all the time while playing. This is especially disappointing for a 30fps game. I like the vegetation very well. This is dense and the assets look good quality.
The textures could be better and the water I even find ugly. Worse than in a Crysis from 2007.
Why are the characters so praised? I do not understand that. Below average voiceacting, strangely written dialogue, obsolete facial animations. In the latter case, it reminds me of the much criticized Mass Effect: Andromeda. And what was that "dramaturgy" in the end? I had to smile as the black woman always turned her head. She was dead with the nerves when the guy wanted to kill himself......... Not...... This is disappointing for a 2017 game.
I'm even more skeptical about the game now.
Procedural facial animation system for in-game emotions and eye movement using some C++ and in-house nodegraph-based tools
Like I said before it is impossible to mocap every dialogue in a RPG, they have 10 hours of Dialog.

I appreciate. Watched multiple linked Neogaf-videos. These sequences are generally better but I would still not say they are good facial animations. The characters do not look alive. Partially, I even find the recent repeated Mass Effect 3 from 2012 better. Still I would not say that these games had good animations. Same goes for Mass Effect Andromeda so far.
In my opinion the clothes in Horizon looks great but not the faces. It is also not good if the quality in the game fluctuates so much. Because it is not as immersive.
I am also not a fan of the approach where the best character/animations are always taken to evaluate the animations. If there are three very good characters and many do not look and act like these it says nothing about the general quality of the animations
That is possible. But it costs a lot money and time.
Could you post a specific video because i watched many videos of Horizon and popping isn't worse than in Uncharted.
As for The Division, you can still find some problems :
Also, games that put the hardest stress on popping issues are the game when you can see large areas in one single view. It's not ususally the case in a city, because theres's always a building to hide the view.
I do agree for the facial animation though, there are clearly better games in this field. But once again, it's better than in other similar games.
They don't sell a game to lost money...
The video you linked:
I did not have the problem in The Division. But there are sometimes streaming problems when no SSD is used. Reloading textures etc. But I play on SSD and can not say anything about these problems.
The Dvision may normaly be not as sressed CPU wise. Compared to other engines I can not name one game where you get so many fps and so little pop ups. Here almost always limits the GPU.
Naturally. But I guess it will find many customers. SONY is also expecting that.
The video you linked
Could you show a specific moment in this video ?
For instance, there is shadow popping at 14min20 in front of the player, but it's not really distracting.
If we exclude shadows, popping is almost unnoticeable. Actually, i didn't see any.
CD Projekt sold 10 millions of The Witcher 3 and they didn't do mocap for all dialogue it is too expensive and too long to do...
Uncharted 4 level for all dialogue in a RPG is too expensive...
For example almost the whole time in which she rides at the beginning. This is not even far away.
Ah i know what you mean. At the very beginning of the video, indeed (from 4sec to 6sec). I thought it was the lighting. The compression of Youtube doesn't help.
Damn, the game looked too good to be true... they had to make some compromises. I still hope they can fix it until the release or that it wasn't the most recent build.
Initially, i thought that they downgraded the destructible environment, but i saw a huge robot destroying some trees in the last videos.
For 99% of the players this will not be a problem. The graphics is outstanding except for the animations. One of the best games in this category. Very impressive.
But these NPC dialogs will disturb some. The sequenze I've linked is very bad. I would even claim that it is the worst thing I have ever seen for the PlayStation 4. This video was already viral in the last few days so I came across it.
I found the E3 trailer impressive and fascinating, I had really high hopes on the title but with scenes on such a low level the game could slip into the abyss. Mainly because there will be many such scenes.
The facial animations are obsolete and partial ridiculous. Even the over 12 year old Half Life 2 can make this better. Soulsless characters can hardly work.
The writing is very bad.
The male voice actor should be ashamed. His yelling is very annoying. This is where all the hope of the German synchronization rests.
The direction is terrible. Look at how the guy is set in scene. How he twists etc. This is ridiculous in 2017. Guerilla should really pick up Uwe Boll he would make it 100 times better...
Such sequences are miserable and backward. According to the Neogaf videos the quality of the cut-scenes varies a lot.
I do not even understand how such a thing is possible at all today with such a big and important Sony blockbuster.
