Nah we can do better..

You can't pit a stylized platformer in its first year against a more realistically designed game thats the end of its long life cycle. And make a fair comparison.. that would be like comparing modern art to classic art. Totally different art direction for one thing.

Think its PS4 capture (OG) 1080P vs 4K. But yeah, honestly wait a couple of years. Look at what devs achieved with 1.84TF with TLOU 2, UC4, GoT, GoW etc. Now imagine what they can do with that extra GPU power, and gargantuan leap in CPU performance.

HZ2 was just a drop in the ocean compared to what things are to come. I can't even fathom GTA 6 graphics.

You seem to be missing the point of the comparison.

The point is not to assess exactly how much better the system will be in the end, it's to assess how big the leap will be on launch day, and whether that leap justifies being an early adopter. For that it makes sense to compare the best of what's available now vs the best of what will be available at launch.

Load times dropping by half to likely much less is already enough for me to be an early adopter. Good riddance of the 5400 rpm stock hdd everything is made for. That's a leap that's not been done before, load times have always gotten longer from one generation to the next. (Apart from tapes to cartridges and floppies, but you get the point)

After reading how much trouble it is to port HZD to pc (https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/digitalfoundry-2020-horizon-zero-dawn-pc-tech-review) I'm glad Sony is not letting last gen be an anchor or cross platform. Back to one HW spec, one ps5 with a blazing fast SSD, excited!
