[chandoog]

I like the "Tentacle Monster ?" tag.

 

[Cooking]

Anyone else been waiting for this?

 

[Chris McQueen]

I'm genuinely surprised Digital Foundry don't have their own OT.

Will watch later.

Been, I have, this, waiting for.

Good video. I didn't notice the pressed palm detail of the baby before. That's some attention to detail.

And seeing Horizon and Death Stranding flipped back and forth the latter is noticeably richer in detail (though as explained, helped in parts by having photogrammetry + 'sparse' Icelandic environments).

 

[daveo42]

I've been coming for this.

For, or to?

 

[Deleted member 437]

Is it just me or is this video chugging?

edit: Ooops, nevermind. It was on 4k for some reason lol.

 

[Tyaren]

Don't know about you guys, but I've been waiting for this. :)
*watching now*

 

[Couscous]

We've all been waiting for this.

 

[plusaflag]

Dark1x and Dictator, thank you guys :-)

 

[Psychotron]

Dictator, your videos just keep getting better. I really appreciate all the details you pointed out.

 

[Pillock]

This vs the new MW trailer. Both look stunning but which is best I wonder.

 

[zombiejames]

This late-gen tech is looking incredible. I'd really like to see a sort of "generational evolution" video at some point looking at how engines and games have grown over the generation to maximize the hardware. Like, comparing Decima in Killzone Shadowfall to Death Stranding.

 

[Gitaroo]

Water tech definitely came a looooong way. Remember water was mediocre even after they patch it. Now it looks like its interective.

That's a pretty good idea for a video. 2013 vs 2019 or 2020.

 

[Deleted member 21]

Yep, Die-Hard Man looks unbelievable in that short segment that you see him. These character models are truly astounding on every level

They can even bust out that 2013 "equivalent" PC with the 750 Ti they stopped using for whatever reason.

Alex Digital Foundry, the man who delivers.

Amazing video!

 

[Betty]

GOTY incoming.

 

[Anthony Hopkins]

Can't watch cos at work, do they say anything extra since the last one they did?

His eyes really impress me.

Very impressed with what was shown. Only had 1 negative about the shadows, but VERY hopeful to see what a possible PS5 version could do to further improve the visual quality.

 

[Inuhanyou]

real time cutscenes...i guess that'll show people who were calling the cutscenes CGI

 

[Ivory Samoan]

I kind of want to wait for the PS5 version...

....no chance I can miss this on release though, the willpower isn't there lol.

Kojima even said how you have Sam customised will be reflected in the Cutscenes, just like ALL his games it's real time all the time.

 

[spam musubi]

I figured this footage was in-game when one of the scenes had a little bit of pop in on some faraway geometry. Really impressive.

 

[ThankDougie]

i wasn't waiting for this, but now I have been

I still can't believe that's an actual character's name.

 

[alstrike]

The narrator of the video must be fun at parties... Jesus Christ that was really boring.

Finally. Was waiting for their analysis. Will have to check this out when i get home.

 

[Binabik15]

I'm not sure if I'll like the gameplay or the story, but the tech side is already highly impressive.

...

Now I have to think about MGS 1/2 remakes in Decima, all that care and gpu power spent on (mostly) tiny interiors and few characters...drool. Fucking Konami :/

I met him once at a party - totally went home with my girl.

WHAT A WANKER

 

[Cactuar]

Finally. Been waiting for this one.

 

[jpbonadio]

This engine is very impressive. If DS already looks this good, can't imagine how crazy Horizon 2 will look on the PS5.

No hand needed if he went home with your bae ;)
