It seems like the reflective surface is going to be the new overused effect in games next gen.
Everything is reflective in real life, so I hope next gen games do that!

I think people are so conditioned to games doing reflections completely wrong that they forgot how reflective the real World is, even my matte wooden table I am typing this on has gobs of reflections.

Yeah, there is real life, and then there is something like the AMD RT demo though.

They really nailed the murky brown of the Thames.

Would like to see more when the game releases, that didn't look impressive to me.

Thers a difference between surfaces reflecting light and being in a giant mirror hall like games make it look like.

The overall visual package is ugly tbh and not it's not the video it's the grainy filters and overshapening the game uses. It looks flat and dull and noisy.

The RT features are impressive as usual but it anchored to a confusing, chaotic art/visual style which isnt visually appealing to me.
