the highway section afterward is maybe the portion that couldve been cut before the big plot reveal and kickass ending

also all the sidequest portions were good

I absolutely loved what they did with the Motorball fight, rather than make you stop and putter around in a stationary battle they just doubled down on the high-speed motorcycle poo poo that the taught you the mechanics for back in chapter 4. That fight was wild and highly suspenseful.

Wonder if there’s a thing you can do or a hidden item that carries over to the full game. I kinda blazed through it once I got out of the cellar.

yeah it has it, stuble tho. i agree with what you said in the other post tho, feels very re7, tech wise rather than a straight up ps5 game. not a bad thing but im wondering if that means 4k60 rt at least. but yeah this will run and look great on ps4, just like 7. makes me wonder if its getting vr support now on ps4...

that said... late gen ps5 games gonna look :eyepop:

So can I go ahead and sell my PS4 if the 5 is on the way? I don’t need it to transfer anything, right? Just log in on the new one and go?

That’s right I’m old and don’t know what I’m doing.

Unless you got PS+ and back them up to the cloud. In that case you can just re-download them on your PS5 if you don't feel like running an ethernet cable (or wifi) between the two consoles. I basically just pulled my screenshots off the PS4, plugged my external HDD into the PS5 and then sold it the day after I got my PS5 since I had everything backed up. It was surprisingly painless.

I was marveling at the planters out front in Paris; they're polished granite and reflect the trees.

And I was just dinking around in Mumbai and the painted concrete in the tower reflects different when there's a tarp or water on it. Some of the use just sells the sense of place and I love it.

It's actually not ray-tracing, it's "render-to-texture," which I guess is where they just render the scene a second time and project it onto the flat surface? It's really nice-looking either way.


https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/digitalfoundry-2021-hitman-3-tech-review posted:

All of this is achieved by building upon the existing Glacier tech, so SSR is bolstered with pleasing cubemaps (static light probes with textured surfaces that can be used to mimic reflections) along with the render-to-texture feature that debuted in Hitman 2. Here, the scene is effectively rendered twice, the secondary viewpoint mapped to a texture to deliver a 'proper' reflection. It's heavy on resources, it needs to be applied sparingly and typically it only works on flat, mirror-like surfaces - but crucially, it looks good. In time we'd hope to see full ray tracing alternatives, but for now, it does the trick - and it works on all supported consoles.

Some games (like Miles Morales or Borderlands 3) require you to upload your PS4-based saves/profiles via the game itself to use it on PS5.

I think he made a beautiful post and did a great job and he is good.
Anyone spent much time doing remote play from their PS5 on their phone? Seeing some reviews for this Backbone controller thing that look promising. Wish there was a good controller for the Android, but I'd use that when watching some dumb show with the wife.

Outside of specific controllers designed for specific Chinese mobile phones (i.e. Xiaomi Black Shark, ASUS ROG Phone) your best bet would probably be the Razer Kishi. Microsoft is promoting it pretty hard these days as a thing you should buy for Game Pass on your phone.

See how the person on the right isn't blocking the highlight? It's not raytraced.

Funnily enough - that highlight blocking (specular occlusion) is something nobody had figured out before raytracing, but spiderman on the ps4 has full, clean specular occlusion - where people & objects block highlights from showing up where they shouldn't. I was loving blown away when I noticed and as far as I know, no other game has it.
It's a bigger step towards the raytracing look than actual raytracing.

Excessive head bob is one of those video gamey things I don't get, because human anatomy has evolved for millions of years to keep your head perfectly level while running.

I mean, if you're a successful actress and you go out of the house in a skirt and without underwear, knowing that paparazzi are just waiting for opportunities like this and that it has happened many times before, then there's really nobody you can blame for it but yourself.
It's a replacement for the kinesthetic experience of feeling yourself move as you walk or run. Without at least a mild headbob, first-person games feel a lot more like you're weightlessly gliding around on a skateboard than like you're walking or running.
