Next-Gen Graphics Comparison NBA 2K21 PS5 vs PS4 Gameplay
- Thread starter Firmus_Anguis

The craziest thing to me is that, if you'd asked me yesterday, I'd have told you NBA 2K21 is a great looking game on PS4. But it looks AWFUL compared to the PS5 version.
I am with SONY Bravia series 9, but yeah I am jealous. Can't afford a new TV at least for the next 2 years
Eeeh, was expecting quite a bit more tbh. Also, what's up with no camera flashes and atmosphere in the last sequence there? From 1:07 onwards the crowd background is dead compared to ps4. Did they forget to add in that part of lighting?
Does anyone have comparative screencaps of 2K20? I seem to recall a better looking game on PS4.
Few pages back there's the One X version. Still a night and day difference.
Yeah the character models could have looked better for sure and the court textures as well.
Are you kidding me? Why does 2k14 looks MILES better than 2k21??? If they showed that trailer I would be a hell of a lot less impressed by the PS5 version.
From what I understand the pc version this year is based on the current gen version and I believe this is also what happened with the ps3 to ps4 jump too. Next year you should be able to play the next gen version.
Interesting. So, in theory, the next-gen consoles will look better no matter what even if the PC is stronger. That's cray.
The realistic graphics kind of make the strange animation interactions and clipping stand out even more in these sports titles. Gets more and more uncanny.
It is really flashy in a video showing off the stars and some specific animations, but just watch how janky the animations and AI are during rebounds and then it doesn't look any different to most NBA games.
Those people are mistaken.
I still can't get over this bit of the trailer. Shaders are absurd. This is the most lifelike footage I've seen from a next-gen game.

Out of focus blur and crowd AI are next-gen exclusive tech apparently lol
Exactly. That will be something they iron out as this looks like they're just continually building off the last gen base. But probably not knowing 2k these days.
Those people are mistaken.

The first time I watched this was on my phone, which is a bo-bo phone but then I watched this on the 4k in the living room and it legit looks like real life.
Lol that PS4 footage is a mad downgrade from 2k20. And tbh that PS5 footage looks marginally better then what we see on the Xbox on x.
I vividly remember how lifelike I thought the original NBA 2K looked when I got my Dreamcast in 1999Those people are mistaken.

LMAO they gave him a newer suit to
The PS4 version looks TERRIBLE
My exact thought. That coach looked like a character from the Sims on the PS4 version. Also we had sweat on the 360.
You gotta admit the lighting looked good though. Those floors were shiny.
LMAOOO they 1000% downgraded the PS4 version on purposeThe PS4 version looks TERRIBLE
