Same. And John says in the vid he's going to do a second vid on it.

Why the vid was short, and missing some aspects
Just a note - there was a 20 minute cap on videos which is why it's missing stuff like base PS4 and more in-depth performance testing. I wanted to focus on it's beauty above all else. That'll be my next vid and will hit just at launch.
Definitely in the top 5 visuals of the generation for me.

Looks incredible, Kojima's crew has done some amazing with Decima.
No doubt Guerilla is working on a next gen version of the engine for HZD2 which could be pretty damn jaw dropping.
Will get to see it running on a 2080 Ti as early as the Summer - maybe even 3080 by then.

Noice. Hyped for PS5 Decima games since there will be even more improvements to the engine with the next game from Guerilla. PC version of DS should be an early look at what to expect.

Some of the gameplay footage looks pre-rendered. Crazy.
PS5 is gonna blow me away. Apart from Ubisofts shitty cross gen games.

That is hyperbole. Most games on PC modded a bit look just as good or better. Still looks great though.
Really enjoyed this video, could tell a lot of hard work and effort went into it, thank you DF Team!
I'm really fascinated by the game and am happy Kojima got the resources to make such a gamble.
I'm looking forward to giving it the time and patience to fully appreciate and enjoy it for what it is.

Yeah of course it's the pc master race after all, blessed by lord gaben itself, even if it's waging a war with the evil egs right now it's still the beacon in which gamers will rise up to.
Thanks for this John, excellent video! To me, this takes the cake. It looks incredible.
Not all. Which games do you mean? The geometric rendering of the terrian here is better than any game I have seen, PC or otherwise. Certainly better in that regard than say RDR2, which has pretty blocky scenary at the macro level, although they do well in the way they organise and populate the scenary to mitigate that element.

Which games specifically?
When you bring up 'PC' it's usually talking about superior hardware which is fair but the tech side is only half of what makes Death Stranding shine. It's the art direction combined with the tech that is key here. This is why it looks so impressive.
HDR is broken in Premiere right now - I think Rich can do them since he kept an old build around, though. I wasn't able to make it happen.
Also, YouTube's color grading is such that it would look wrong for users not using an HDR display.
Yeah interesting to see how it plays out. I mean I love hiking in real life, but it has never been interesting in games for a variety of reasons.
Looks amazing. I was just thinking about Guerrilla's deal with Kojima... maybe they gave him the engine for free with the expectation that his next game would use it and they would get some licensing money from him? Either way, I can't wait to see how Decima scales up on PS5 for HZD2.
No Finaika - meant PS5.
No need for pointless format flexing in a thread celebrating exciting game tech.
As we are discussing engine tech time I disagree.
There is absolutely no reason to believe titles such as WatchDogs and the new Creed will not deliver pretty pixels next gen - Odyssey looks fantastic on an X @4k.
Maybe check out some DF videos released this gen.
I am sure you can confirm this but Cliff, Fragile, Amélie and Die-Hard Man are the best character models in any released games to date and I am sure some next-gen games will struggle to reach their quality, especially Cliff.
Possibly so, yes. They're remarkable.
The only thing that comes close in recent memory is DMC5 which is also superb in this area but I think DS has the edge.
I've been wondering about what Kojima has been upto with Decima for a while now. Will watch later.
Yes especially that DS models are ingame ones (you can control the camera in cutscenes which are ingame, except maybe the the intro one) while there is a difference between pre-render then cutscene then ingame models in DMC5 which is confirmed.
The large scale real-time changes to the play-scape with dynamic flooding and such looks immense. Very impressive.
The individual rocks, moss and droplets of water everywhere is very beautiful to look at.

Not very. Only from first three chapters - mostly lots of scenery. No character reveals or anything unexpected. I kept it light there.
In your top 5? That's some high praise.
I'm so excited to play this come release!
Thanks! maybe a tip for other Tech Review video's: minimal spoilers.
Wait so everything from this video is from the first 3 chapters?
