About 4 devs and a year and a lot of changes to how it work to make it run at such a low cost at run time. It is an incredible technical achievement actually and should not just be understood as something easy or a simple switch that Hardware only enables.
Death Stranding looks good but RE2 looks better to me, on base PS4 at least.
RE2 is double the framerate tho
I had this response in my mind as I posted it. That's the funny part.
I played both and I think RE2 is more impressive. It's not that hard to comprehend. I've probably even spent more time with DS. I have 3 times 6 hours to play through RE2 on different difficulties, first and second modes. Death Stranding took me 50 hours to beat. Is that enough verification for you that I'm not some hipster?
No, seriously, look at it. That looks super realistic and really smooth. Do you know how hard it is to animate foods and liquids, let alone digestion?
So you do not think the Burger in the intro was a "wow" moment?
Right. I was being faceteous in that, but maybe it just came off as aggressive instead.
Weird comparison shots, but DS looks more impressive. Obvioulsy higher geomtery budget as well outside of the characters.Death Stranding looks good but RE2 looks better to me, on base PS4 at least.
To me it just has the "decima" look, which is to say it looks great, especially humans in certain scenes, and it has a good soft look to it too... but I'm at a loss of words to describe that "something" that I feel is part of Decima's rendering. Any engine seems to have a unique look to the way they handled all the rendering stuff. Fox Engine had its feel, RE Engine has one, and Decima too. I'm just in love with that Darkness & Wetness approach they took with RE2 and the way environments truly did feel wet and steamy, in that dark, rainy setting of indoor furniture and sewer areas. I agree that Death Stranding does "scale" really well, and I think it excelled at renders of the hollywood actors it had. They just look almost perfect to me, especially the way their performances were captured.
I played it 2-3 months after release and saw the same stutter, fps drops random crashes and so forth that were the same day one when reviewing it. Though 2-4 patches had shored up a couple issues
DS looks significantly better in these images.Death Stranding looks good but RE2 looks better to me, on base PS4 at least.
Days gone was robbed. how does it not even get an honorary mention?
For 20% of the game, all of the textures didn't even load in.
Textures in particular, yeah. But it still manages to create a cutting edge feel that somehow runs at 60fps. I'm still amazed by that optimization and the graphical result. On a Pro it runs almost perfect 60fps at checkerboarded 4K. It's a really impressive game to look at and play.
