No, but it's photomode bullshit that every game does these days.
Toggle on photomode and the game suddenly looks 10x better because it doesn't need to run at a proper framerate.

yes but preferably when it concerns male pecs and crotches

>>723067196
this, photo mode is nothing but free marketing for their game and if it isn't looking better than it is then they've failed in legal misleading marketing

Photo mode is genuinely the greatest thing modern videogames have implemented on a mass scale though. You can't give me good gameplay, well let me pretend to be a director of photography or something.

>why are games so unoptimized and take forever to make?

imagine if they had put a single attractive character in that game

>>723067140 (OP)
It’s necessary for forcing people to buy the latest overpriced GPU if they don’t want their computer to melt

>>723067140 (OP)
wow very impressive technology

>>723067140 (OP)
isn't that just a reflection cubemap?

no, the entire world is reflected in her eye, the power of PS5

>>723067732
Somehow... the straw hat is like a vampire?

>>723067140 (OP)
Where's her beard?

>>723067140 (OP)
another ignorant tweet that assumes this game is the only one to do this, when a matter of fact nearly all PS4 games with semi-realistic graphics did this, as well as some PS3 games, it's really a common and standard thing, nothing amazing or impressive.

the quality of it simply matches the visual quality of the rest of the game

>>723067140 (OP)
no, graphicfags killed videogames

>>723067140 (OP)
>Gamers are amazed

>>723067140 (OP)
It's fucking cubemap, and it doesn't look like it was captured in this place

>>723067687
no it's uh... that new raytracing technology!

>>723067884
Even if it was the first game to do it it wouldn't matter.

There's nothing technically impressive about this. Nothing at all. It's old tech that has been around for quite a while.

>>723067140 (OP)
>those bloodshot eyes
positively subhuman

>>723067956
Least they didn't use "fans"

And there is nothing groundbreaking in dynamic cubemaps.

>>723067140 (OP)
>nighttime reflection in broad daylight
Damn dood the technology BRO

>>723067140 (OP)
All that wasted in face scan with people we didn't even like it. Imagine if we had original and creative characters. I hope the lesson was learned this time.

>>723067140 (OP)
what gamers

>>723067140 (OP)
Yes.

I don't know if this is a hot take or anything, but there's a place for graphic fidelity, but it shouldn't come at the expense of game performance or gameplay. But I don't know anything about how Ghost of Yotei runs or plays, so I can't make a judgement on a game I have never played, and I'm going to give the benefit of the doubt that most of this detail is only available in photo mode like one of the anons said

>>723067140 (OP)
Forced detail

>>723067140 (OP)
CP2077 already did this in 2020.

>>723068296
computer enhance

>>723067140 (OP)
Okay, why didn't they do that with mirrors too and make a cool setpiece around it?

Photomode is the default pc dev setting for dev kits. They have to tone the graphics down in game because consoles can't play the normal pc settings without sub 15 fps or worse.

>Unnecessarily impressive tech in 2025:
:|
>Unnecessarily impressive tech in 2005:
:o

With RTX On you can [checks notes] see reflections in people's eyes!
because eyes are made of glass.

>>723068074
>replies to say it being the first or not doesn't matter
>proceed to explain why it matters, just like the post he's replying to
are you retarded
it being nothing new, not impressive, and old tech that has been around for a lot is exactly WHY it not being the first matters

>>723068398
that would require actual dev skills and not just turning a nob in the unreal engine

>>723068415
This "impressive" tech is like from the Mafia 1 era, way before normal mapping.

>>723067140 (OP)
Yes

>>723068549
Yes and breakable props have been a thing since 90's but you faggots still onions out at the bar in MGS2.

>>723067196
Never played Tsushima did you?

How does this affect the gameplay?

>>723068701
You can take epic pictues and post them on xitter, bluesky or reddit and get way more dopamine you could possibly get from a sequel to an ubislop open world game.

awesome, guess that was worth it costing 10 dollars more than it should

>>723067140 (OP)
that's not impressive at all it's just light reflection, rtx does that for free on any reflective surface

Yoshida was talking about this when he took over final fantasy xiv. He said the game ran like shit because they would have something like a background flower pot with a gorillion details.

>>723068447
The post I was replying to seemed fixated on the fact that other games have already done it. I was more referring to the technical complexity in implementing such a thing. It's not that it's not technical impressive because it's been done long before. It's that it's not technical impressive because it's fucking easy to do.

what's the point of rendering this shit when your main character is a part jeet part chink dyke goblin
hell, even if she wasn't an ugly mutt there are fifty different things that deserve the computing power more than this

Literally who gives a fuck

>>723067140 (OP)
We had reflections in video games before you were even born.

>>723067140 (OP)
poor console fags. they can only play californian games

>>723067140 (OP)
lol

>>723067140 (OP)
>cube map
>realistic
There are multiple games that use ray traced reflections that display the whole scene reflected in the eyes, this is actually really fucking lame.

She was my waifu in Battle Royale. Shame she did Kill Bill, though.

>>723070213
shame?

lol wammen

Wow, that’s awesome, applause for Sony. This is probably going to sell millions ;)

these fags did the same thing with ratchet and clank a few years back

LOMBAX TIDDIES! LOMBAX TIDDIES! LOMBAX TIDDIES!

>>723067140 (OP)
No. style > fidelity.

>>723067140 (OP)
and it still looks like shit compared to SHADOWS, fucking Ubi openshitworld.

>>723067140 (OP)
That's a cubemap. They've been in games forever.

this is ancient technology lmao

>>723070825
two words that destroyed an industry

As much as she fought it, Rivet still came out sexy.

>>723069663
>1780p
>1728p

What the fuck are these retards doing?

>>723071203
Both get mogged by Way of the Samurai for having actual gameplay.

>>723071213
>>723071216
they're actually raytracing reflections, as in they're rendered in real time
not a cubemap picture of the level

>>723068296
That's some CSI levels of sleuthing. It goes to tell that stalkers would make better investigators than real agents when it comes to finding a person.

>>723071203
GoT looks better than both and that's a ps4 game

>>723067140 (OP)
Yes, if you want your game to be shit.
No one cares about such trash details.
GAME is about GAMEPLAY. What a fucking shocker.

>>723067140 (OP)
I'm not amazed, I'm wondering why games look like realistic slop and take 6 years to develop instead of looking like a PS2 game while having fun gameplay.

>>723071816
But Final Fantasy VIII is the best game ever, and it barely has any gameplay.

>>723067468
>photo mode is nothing but free marketing for their game and if it isn't looking better than it is then they've failed in legal misleading marketing
This. Consumers are the new fanatics and you would be an idiot to not take advantage of their free labor.

no
devs should stop wasting their time on superfluous shit that doesnt matter so that games dont cost one gorillion to make anymore

>>723070213
She was also in an arthouse lesbo softcore thing as the ONLY girl who doesn't get her tits out

>>723071858
>Final Fantasy VIII
Don't kid yourself. Everyone talk only about FF7 and FF14 most of the time.

>>723067140 (OP)
Shills focused on iris reflection details but then throw a hissy fit when people pointed out the terrible cliff sliding animation. Guess if it fits their narrative they'll gloat over it huh

>>723067140 (OP)
Okay, I guess, but I'm playing this banger rn

>>723067824
Do these people have a fetish for hairy women?

>>723072635
game?

>>723072635
nice
dungeon siege is great

>>723072639
Post your type of woman, incel

Impressive, nice. Now let us see the mirror reflections in any 2025 game.

>>723072689
Dungeon Siege

>>723072635
oh man if ANY game deserves a remake...

>>723072416
I said "best," not what everyone talks about.

>>723067140 (OP)
>that will require a RTX 5090 plus tip to run at 1080p 60fps*, what are you, some kind of poor? Why are you complaining? Developers are people too.

*with framegen

>>723067140 (OP)
Your game sucks.

>>723075597
>1080p or 60fps is a target
POOR ALERT!

>>723075682
For a Sony PC port in this time and age, and with a 2k dollar GPU?
It's not a target, it's an accomplishment.

>>723067140 (OP)
Typical case of "literally who gives a shit"

>>723072812
not allowed outside of /b/ and /trash/

>>723067140 (OP)
It has shit like this but then half of the world textures are still super muddy, the art direction in these games are fantastic but on a technical level they look kind of shit

Photo mode is the most useless feature ever.

>>723067140 (OP)
If it were a PC exclusive, OP would've said TECHNOLOGY instead.

And the gameplay?

>>723071203
why are yotei's colors so saturated

it's a static reflection, not real time dynamic one

>>723067140 (OP)
Graphics do not make a good game.
