The most insane take ever from Alex is that dragon age looks great (and the rendering is apparently well done) yet he’s unimpressed with GoY

Almost as funny as clowns throwing random "fanboy" accusations in their fierce attempt to defend someone so undeniably unbiased and professional as Battaglia.
I mean, isn't that mostly art style?Are people saying Ghosts Of Yotei looks bad? Lol.
I mean....
You guys need some new material.
Distant foliage rendering is evidently improved, the bounce GI more prominent (not a fan personally, looks weird at the moment), but the bulk of what I see isn't really distant from GoT.

I get that point but honestly, to me, that sounds more impressive and I wish more devs do that. The graphical quality of ps4 games is more than good enough. Focus more on art style, physics, gameplay, etc. Will keep the budget down and games can come out quicker.

That wasn't necessarily a comment with an objective answer
It was more to remember why "Playstation fanboys" don't like Alex crossdress... Remembering that at the same time he made a video saying that Ray Tracing was enough for Craig to look good, he also made a video zooming in on Spiderman with 60fps raytracing to say "it's not a big deal, it's not impressive and everyone shouldn't be impressed by it"

Yes, mutiplatform games are not allowed to look good.
Not really it just shows why Xbox is in last place this console cycle and the last, no one cares to cover their games.
Even in this clip they spend 2 out of the 8 minutes talking about Naughty Dog games.

We just need the answer to the question: will there be protagonist naked butt on this one?

Dragon age looks like shit and more than a generation behind GoY visually
This has nothing to do with it being multiplatform bruh

Ghost of Yotei looks very good to me, I'm completely happy with that level of fidelity and art style.
Let DF pixel peep all they want. If the game is good the game is good, regardless of if it uses RTGI etc or not.
I think Alex is overly obsessed with tech features - but it's his job so I get it.

No, that game (DA:I) just looks like hot shit. Art design and mobile graphics/interface feel.
Stop trying to gaslight with a strawman.

Specifically Dragon Age looks bad because the art direction is poor - it can use all the latest and greatest technical tricks but without good art direction it doesn't look impressive. (also all BioWare games post BG2 suck)

Certain people: "Publishers need to stop chasing great graphics. Give us good gameplay."
Also certain people: "Ghost of Yotei isn't a generational graphical leap over Ghost of Tsushima that released just 4 years ago."

Sucker Punch is no Naughty Dog when it comes to detail. The game looks fine.

And there's literally nothing wrong with putting art direction before realism. The first game was never supposed to be all about realistic graphics as well.

Locked 60 outside of citys for sure.
CPU limit fudders in shambles.
dude is miserable honestly, feeling kinda sorry for him. he was never the same since series x turned out to be a huge flop, and his "compute advantage" narrative never panning out
probably hates his job too, where he needs to do a monthly "jedi survivor pc patch" video, only to record same stutters

For Ghost I hope they spent more time pushing interactivity in the open world because the game already looks amazing.

Wow at that DD2 segment. The Pro look so much better and run 15 to 20 fps better and this is cpu bound scenario. GPU bound, there is going to be larger differences. Watching on my 77 in oled here and the image clarity on the pro is so much better.
Can someone line those 2 clips side by side?

which makes it even funnier how clearly every time someone speaks objectively about something, people get upset because it goes against their plastic box religion.
there isn't even a competition, and people still get so clearly rattled by people not being overly enthusiastic about everything. I don't even want to imagine if this was actually a head to head situation.

Yōtei looks visually more sophisticated, and there's once again the strong GI bounce hitting her sword on the back, just I'm not sure I'd call it a technical generational leap.
And in the end I couldn't care less as the first one, just as is, to me is still a simply overwhelmingly stunning visual experience. But it's too early for proper discussions.
That's just a professional with integrity doing his job, unfairly mocked simply for not bootlicking Sony games or tell their audience PS5 Pro isn't magic.
Just ask our, clearly unbiased as well, hardcore fan

The fuckin' irony is that for the next few YEARS, they kept creating a narrative that "Xbox started late because of full RDNA 2 and that's why some of the tools aren't ready."

I agree but you can do both. Like because you have great art direction doesnt mean you cant benefit from RTGI or RT
I respect the hell out of Wukong because they excelled in both areas on their first AAA game - Insane achievement.

When you say rtgi, do you mean ray traced GI or real-time GI?

The more I see of DD2 the less it looks like it's CPU-bound and the more it looks like Capcom released it hot.

gta6 guaranteed to run at locked 60fps with raytracing and crisp image quality on ps5pro
cant wait to see salty haters and alex battaglia fans in shambles when it launches

Pretty sure that's entirely due to the different time of day.
Also because otherwise, having stronger, darker shadows would indicate weaker light bounce, which is usually the opposite of higher quality RTGI.
Impressive framerate improvement, but also kind of expected for those who didn't drink the FUD.. and gave the MLiD leak a chance.

Interesting. Can you or somebody line up the gif here? Clarity alone can't make this look so much better.
Edit, I think you are right.

Thats exactly my stance. I valour way more art style than anything else, hence why Elden Ring is still goty despite people crucifing the game for pixels.
I still dunno why people take Alex seriously, the guy is a clown and he is not even consistent with the crap he says.
