Lots of baked details and clever art.
The Decima game engine has shown it's a real power house when games are made it's way though. That can't be denied.
Take Uncharted 4 for instance. There are areas where artists just haven't given much attention to any details, some shadowing, geometry and texture work is clearly sub-par and could look last-gen.
For example... The Lemons.
| S.T.A.G.E. said: Yeah, I cannot wait to see how that partnership works out. Personally, you dont even need an upgraded console to see how great horiozn looks, but the 4k boost is undoubtedly stunning. |
If only it was actually running at 4k though... Sadly only the PC has such power.
| John2290 said: But it lacks the style and art work in my opnion, they went for to much of a realistic approach. |
The Photogrammetry in Battlefront really does stand alone on a high-end PC, I feel Horizon and Uncharted just don't reach those same heights.
That's not to say Horizon and Uncharted are bad looking games, they aren't. Just that there is another *level* of graphics.
| COKTOE said: Yep. And now that the risk of creating a new IP has been taken, and proven successful, the artists collective known as Microsoft is gearing up for a "next gen AAA game 'similar' to Horizon Zero Dawn. It's just like the old saying, "if you can't buy somebody's good idea, copy it". |
All games take inspiration from other games in one way or another.
Open World games predate Horizon.
| Lawlight said: Looks drab compared to the Horizon screenshots. Can you adjust the settings for the artstyle? |
It's supposed to look hyper-realistic so it sits in with the movies visually. And it achieves that.
| eva01beserk said: I would rather see any other location. Deserts for me seem so unimaginative. No matter what they will always look the same. Look t that rock, it looks just like this other rock, hold on this rock is slighty bigger, increddible this one has a crack. |
There are other locations.
