Playstation Showcase OT: NOT ACTUAL GAMEPLAY

…I’m rewatching Spiderman 2 gameplay in 4K and it’s worst than I thought watching it live. The grass has no self shadowing, it looks plain and brings back some last gen memories. Ambient occlusion seems off ? Like litteraly “off”. I know it’s open world in an urban environment, but I thought they would be able to push it further than that. It feels like they are cutting corners, but I hope it will be better at release. This Duff guy posted an hilarious image on twitter :

Even Redfall looks a bit better in this screen with the folliage, overall atmosphere and lighting at night time. But the grass and ground texture looks similarly bad in both, although I would argue that Redfall has more of a fantasy look that seems more fitting.

I gotta say I definitely expected more of Spidey 2 in terms of visuals. I mean, it’s a PS5 exclusive, you’d think it would look a lot better than the previous games. It’s Insomniac! But we gotta be honest too, it’s not done yet and they have time to smoothen things out, but I don’t expect miraculous differences. Before the show happened I saw folks speculating if it would be a generational leap, man it’s not even near that ballpark.
