If ND said the PS4 is awesome, then talked about specs and details, i'd say..."well, they would say that, they're owned by Sony" crytech singing praise is like mark cerny singing praise. They're both being technical in what their saying, but they're hardly objective are they. It would have helped though if they hadn't halved the poly count and dropped the resolution.

It's a racing sim, not need for speed. What exactly are you expecting to see that isn't being displayed?Hahaha, clueless is an understatement to describe you. Your comments never fail to entertain :D

Thanks :D

:O

Well, I hope this is the start of a trend because I like the game better after the changes that were made, even though Yerli suggests the game was always 900p.

Yey for sub 1080p and visual downgrades. You really are the only one who could claim worse somehow = better. Weren't you the one claiming next gen consoles would be more then capable of blowing our minds with or without secret sauce?...devs are already making compromises and sacrifices and these machines aren't even out yet.

Well, looks like Crytek's version of worse = better looking game. It says a lot that you're still making an issue out of this when there's a now superior looking game staring you right in the face. Remember what you said about that blurry looking version being the new one? Well, Cervat yerli posted a direct feed on his official twitter. It's not as blurry when it isn't a stream of a powerpoint presentation, is it?

Visual downgrades. You can see a poly decrease? Really, can you? Please point it out to me if you can. How about a resolution decrease? Ryse's resolution was never officially known in the first place until Greenberg's tweet. And according to the director's statement, it seems this was always the game's native resolution.

I want to seriously hear you say that plastic looking armor from the previous version of the game looks better than the newer one. The clear edge goes to the newer version. The newer version of the game has a better sense of depth, better shading, it's much better modeled. If the game was really once 1080p, and that older screenshot is what the game looked like when it was 1080p, I take the new version every single time. They decreased the poly count on the main character to 85k, not on anything else. I don't think you realize how high 85K is. All the game's cutscene models are also the same as the gameplay models.

And with regards to blowing our minds.



This a launch game, and easily one of the most graphically incredible looking console titles so far. Who said sacrifices would never be made? There are sacrifices in all aspects of game development. Unlimited power exists nowhere, not even on the PS4. Some kind of compromise has to be made somewhere, even if devs never tell you what those are outright. You give devs power, they are going to find a way to use as much of it as they can. And for the record, do you remember what resolution I said I preferred games to target on the new consoles? I said I preferred 720p so devs could focus more on raw graphical detail and effects. 900p is higher than that. So this particular game may not be the best example to try and make a point with. Does Quantum Break not look amazing? Look at Infamous or Killzone. Yea, I feel what we're already seeing so early in the new gen, on both consoles, does more to support what I said than it does the opposite. Have you played GTA5 on the 360 or PS3 yet? Have you seen what Rockstar is doing on these older systems? Have you seen that water, the waves? I'm stunned it looks that good on the 360 and PS3. Even the explosions and accompanying physics are better than what I would've expected, although Half Life 2 was already doing insane things with physics for much sooner than even that, but you get the point. :)

Old vs new. You tell me which looks better.

They both look like a bad video game to me.

Ding ding ding. Winner!

Also OP. I remember you quite clearly saying you'd prefer games to target 60 fps rather then 1080p. Guess what...ryse is neither. It's like the people claiming crysis 2 was the best visuals ever on current gen consoles, despite it running like shit and being sub HD. You simply can't be 'prettiest next gen game' when you're hitting non of the next gen standards. Even the animations are garbage. Aside from shaders, what exactly have they gained from being sub HD and running at 30fps (and reducing character models)

I actually used 60fps as an example of what people would choose. 1080p 30 or many more 60fps titles, but at 720p. Ryse is not 720p, now is it? Also, the animations are not garbage. They're actually pretty good when they're not affected by bugs that are apparent from a still unfinished game, or being interrupted from reaching completion by player input. This is how Ryse's animations work. If you time things correctly between attacks, the animations actually go through the full motion and don't look all that bad at all. In fact, they look good when the player isn't rushing through or mashing away. However, if you mash, suddenly it looks very strange, and on top of that if you perform a counter, that, too, can cancel out whatever animation the main character is in the process of performing, no matter how far into that animation the character happens to be. So the issue at hand is not the animations themselves. Those are fine. The problem is Crytek making it possible for players to mash away as quickly as they desire, which can, admittedly, look a bit silly. There's plenty of footage of the animations looking quite a bit better when people actually take their time. Play with no skill or no flow to your attacks, and the animations don't get a chance to complete, and thus it looks like crap. Anybody actually interested in this game would have seen quite clearly that this is what's going on.

Now it's obvious you have no interest in the game or even the console for that matter, so there's very little about the xbox one in general that I expect to see you approach with anything less than intellectual dishonesty and willful ignorance. Ryse is a 'sub HD' game now, is it? 900p and you call it sub HD?

And am I seriously hearing about Ryse looking like a bad game from two people who think Deep Down looks amazing? Or is it just one of you? Most likely Korn. :)

Thank you.

It's been really something watching the Ryse debate all over the place. What's really funny about this whole controversy over resolutions is that nobody knew it was less than 1080p until Greenberg actually mentioned it in his tweet. Because 900p and 1080p share the same aspect ratio, it would have gone largely unnoticed. So while the game looks like it's going to make it through it's technical hurdles, there's still the game itself that's waiting to be played and reviewed.

Yeah not really memorable albeit Kotor was great

Who thinks deep down looks amazing? that game looks INCREDIBLY bad. Even RYSE: son of shit, looks better than that game.

One would hope. I'm doubtful though

Go check the ps4 thread :)Blasphemer!!!!

Deep Down still looks good graphically, and Ryse looks great!, people get way to hung up on the smallest things, these are day one launch games and they look ace.

Deep Down is not a launch title, but yeah all this talk of less p's is very funny.

WTF are you on about deflections? scoobs asked a quetion and got an answer.

No Ops brought up Deep Down, and Scoobs then asked a question.
