Starting to get there ... will be interesting to see how it launches.

The setting of the game screams out to me to love it. The type of game (roguelike) is what gives me pause. My mileage varies with those.

It doesnt look like anything we couldnt see on PS4

Yeah nothing next gen about it graphicswise. It does look quite interesting though from a gameplay POV

You're such a whingebag!!!!

Yeah it is interesting, but easily this could have been a PS4 game in that department too.
We dont see much in terms of physics either

60fps? Ha.

Looks like they're knocking about a few interesting concepts in the game. A reality that adapts based on the observer has some loose basis in some interpretations of quantum physics.

i don't remember any PS4 game doing ray tracing at 60fps though.

 

[Nesh]

Oh come on. As of playing Minecraft at 60fps and RT is the next gen experience we want

Trailer felt rushed.

Animation jittering problems while running up stairs, shadow flickering and framerate issues even in corridors.

the point is, even for mincecraft at 60fps,RT, it would not be possible on PS4 !

Mmmm.. mince.

Does it have raytracing? perhaps, though from that trailer I cant really see any that makes any large difference, the lighting looked flat. I did notice the dust/snow particles clipping the stairs, this wasnt even necessary for ps3 games
I had a quick look on youtube

this looks a lot better than what they show in the trailer

Irrelevant. Assets and gameplay are still old MC

Once she entered the house I wondered if the game switched to a PT type of gameplay
