Trailer again for reference:
It is early days
Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 and Marvel’s Wolverine revealed
Veteran developer Insomniac Games creating two new titles for PlayStation 5 consoles.

The trailer looks astonishing and it's good to have confirmation the demo was running in real time. After all the Uncharted 4 teaser was captured on PS4 back in the day and didn't really run in real time. So "captured on XY" doesn't mean a awful lot.
I am confident Insomniac can reach or even surpass the level of graphics shown here in 2023. The vertical slice specifically created for the trailer looked really good.

I completely wrote it off as cgi lol im actually shocked and excited about what the generation actually have in store for us
I mean the demo is most likely created specifically for the trailer and a team worked on it. The whole game won't look like this yet, because it's ~2 years out at this point and games look awful 6+ months before release. Thus devs do those dedicated demos to show their vision and bar they want to reach later on.
But yes it bolds well and Insomniac usually reaches their graphical bar with their games. Can't wait to see more.
OP
OP
Why would anyone think that was CGI lol? It's always pretty obvious to me when a game is running real time vs CGI. In this case it was clearly a real time cutscene.
It's easy to tell when looking at the smoke right at the beginning. It has that half fps a lot of particles in games have
Developers usually create dedicated demos to show of the game. That's very likely not how the game looks right now and that's normal.
This is how games look during early development:
Yep and no RT reflections for the smoke. Those are small things that give it away. But still I am very impressed with the leap from MM to spiderman 2.

Thats how *some* games look like during development. Really depends on the developer and their development process, and if it's their first game in a new engine or not. Since Miles Morales basically looks like this, I would bet the game looks this good now, just reusing Miles Morales' assets
It said as much when the trailer started, just remains to be seen if they can apply the same level of quality to an open world (I'm going with yes).
The particles and motion blur look sweet as fuck. That smoke is delicious. The mood almost has texture to it, it's really great to see.

Both games started work on PS4 this did not, both also look really good. I dont understand what people want out of Horizon visually since to me it one best looking open world games.
I get that it's because the game is early, but that all white outfit looks really nice. I think western Chloe is the closest we can get to it in the actual game.
I can't think of the last time Sony did a trailer that wasn't in-engine so I'm surprised people thought it was CG. When I saw this trailer I didn't register it as a supermassive leap from the Miles Morales reveal trailer at a casual glance, but then I hadn't gone back to watch that one since it first dropped. Obviously remains to be seen how much the full game will retain but the previous games already looked good so this is bound to look better.
They are insane and should go back and play the PS4 games and do a comparison. SM2 looked almost like CGI and a clear huge jump from the last gen games. The level of detail in that trailer was off the charts.
I hope it's still baked, make it look as good as they possibly can.
Wolverine is 3-5 years away, at least. Far too early for anything but a CG teaser.
With the SSD, it's possible they can combine both baked and dynamic lighting to achieve the highest possible fidelity. Very excited to see how they tackle the lighting, actually.
User warned: Console war rhetoric
I don't doubt the game is running on PS5, either in-engine or real time, but could we use a source other than this console warrior?
Edit: I didn't see the dev's tweet. It seems a visit to the optician is in order 😅

You're comparing games meant to launch in year 1 vs. a game meant to launch at the mid point of the gen. Not to mention it takes time for studios to upgrade their engine and tools for a new console.
We already know Horizon is using additional lighting tech on PS5 that would not be possible on PS4 so we're getting upgraded experiences. Not to mention when Horizon and GoW launch they'll be some of the best looking games around. Lamenting that they could have looked better in some hypothetical scenario where there's no evidence to support that assertation is just silly IMO.
For the UC4 teaser they never said "captured on PS4". They said "in engine".
Thats not the source the source is the dev I mean its right in the op
They're going to make it look great either way. Miles Morales was a step in the right direction and that was a cross-gen title. Current-gen target is going to do wonders for this game.
Noted. Still, could link directly to the dev's tweet instead.
