Well, it would seem that the next generation (at least the first couple years) won't be a major step up in graphical fidelity from the best of the current gen stuff. I'm ok with that given a lot of the other improvements but I do wonder if it'll be enough to sell these consoles this holiday. Horizozn II looks absolutely amazing but I feel like that studio can push it close on PS4 as well.

This was such an epic showing!!!!!
Fucking destroyed Xbox and teached them how you do a next-gen showing. Very classy and elegant. Superb!
I don't know. the returning IPs look to be the only ones standing out.
Neither of which were using ray-tracing. and GT7 i thought could have very well been a PS4 pro game for some odd reason.

Yeah, some games weren't that gorgeous, though looking at the 4K trailers - still YouTube quality, so not as great as 4K from Gamersyde - and the 4K images, which really show how these games look. Holy fucking shit!!!!!
Horizon 2: Forbidden West - Looks beyond gorgeous. That shot of Alloy underwater......... That's true next-gen!
Spider-Man: Miles Morales - Looks incredible, look at the details in his face and suit. The textures are amazing.
Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart - Simply looks like a Pixar CG movie. Period. Looking at those images gives an incredible high budget Pixar movie. Ratchet & Clank (2016) already looked insane, this just takes it to a whole other level.
Demon's Souls - The first and fourth images show such an incredible beautiful game that I almost wished they were making a Demon's Souls 2.
So at least these 4 games look next-gen, Demon's Souls being the least good looking, even though it's from Blue Point, but which makes you think how great next-gen games will look. And these are 1st/2nd year titles, wait till we're 4-6 years into the PS5 and XBSX cycles and those games will look even more incredible.
By then Unreal Engine 5 - which launches next year - will also be widely utilized and developers will have gained a lot of experience developing for these consoles, so no reason to doub next-gen games, they will look incredible. Another thing is that with the almost instant load times, haptic feedback and 3D audio (PS5), these games will also offer a better experience than before.
Athens asked if it will be enough to sell these consoles this holiday, I can't speak for anyone else, but I'm looking into buying a PlayStation 5 at launch, as long as the price is not obscenely outrageous. The dollar is between 5-6 bucks here, plus with all the taxes and shit, some consoles are at an all-time high price.
For example: PS4 Base = 2.400-3.000, PS4 Pro = 3.400-4.000, Nintendo Switch = 3.800-4.200, etc. And since the PS5 will be new, there will be that "new product tax" consumers hate. Still, I have saved a lot of money and if it's around 3.000-4.000, I might jump in. Otherwise I will wait for Black Friday 2021, just depends on the pricing. I'm almost praying for Sony to take a loss and sell it at U$ 399, but the fact there's 2 SKUs and the rumors from people who have sources at Sony makes me think it will be around U$ 499-599. #fml!!!

massive downgrades coming from the staples achieved w/ the Halo 3 sandbox/physics, with Dice/BField it should never be a trade-off, ony thing they should be trading its engine if it isnt up 3 the job (1 Day ago)

Halo keeps being this Sonic title bait & switch "will their next title be able to Look up par with its current gen counterparts"? Never. Even Halo 4 who was pretty good on Campaign suffered from (1 Day ago)
nostradamus
tech? I dunno, go get some insight of Activision (the good input, not the misogyny), all they COD devs make evident generation leaps tech-wise. Do they keep being the same core IP? I think so. (1 Day ago)
nostradamus
so Halo must be thet bottomb of the barrel FPS to keep its identity. Add some negligible subsurface scattering reflections or some other tech only possible now and call it the day copy/pasting the ol (1 Day ago)
b0vril
yea but, would it be halo then? (1 Day ago)
nostradamus
engines. I mean, If you can have a PS3 Ratchet & Clanck that looks like a vaseline ps3 game, and a PS5 Ratchet&Clack that looks like a goddamn next-gen game, why can't Halo Evolve - Ugly FPS Seal™ (2 Days ago)
nostradamus
Halo Infinite sure is one ugly damn game. Pretty obvious nothing is going to massible change if the Ip doesn't die and start from the ground up with another publisher/dev that doesn't retread the ol (2 Days ago)
