@wabznasm9660 5 жыл бұрын

Rockstar have done what they've always done, working their magic with lighting and post processing to evoke the impression of a realistic image. RDR2 however has demonstrated something I've never seen before in an open world game in that the scenes produced are about 95% perfect. There's a shimmer here, a visible culling horizon there, but it rarely draws your eye unless you're out looking for it. The LOD management is so superlative that you can forget it's there at all; it's almost seamless. This is a game I can boot up and simply admire.

Horizon Zero Dawn was the first game to make me truly notice what this generation could do for consoles. However it’s Red Dead Redemption 2 that made me notice what happens when you put legit technological wizards in front of a computer and ask them to make a game. Sure, Uncharted 4 and God of War are able to pull off some amazing feats in graphics but in the context of RDR2 being this gigantic Open World, this has to be the best looking game I have ever seen. Well done Rockstar!

@ricardoalmeida4719 5 жыл бұрын

You can't compare the budgets man. What Naughty Dog and SMS do with their smaller teams, budgets (still huge but smaller when compared to R*'s) and shorter development cycles is just as amazing.

Just reinstalled Red Dead 2 and was having a blast with it when I remembered Digital Foundry's incredible video from three years ago, discussing all the technical feats. Immediately came here to watch this again and I can only say two things: 1. How this game has aged like fine wine from a technical standpoint - it's a masterpiece in graphical complexity and smooth, robust gameplay which makes me addicted to it like no other game. And 2. How incredibly insightful and detailed the presentation is, in this video - I'm assuming a lot of hard work went into it and it shows. The visuals they've shown here from gameplay are spellbinding. 30 minutes well spend. If there's anyone who's just discovered this game or are about to boot it up after 3 years, I urge you all : Please watch this video and just appreciate the scale of work that went into making this game. And then play to your heart's content. Explore and experience everything the world has to offer. And for heaven's sake don't rush to complete it. Take your time. Take it all in. There won't be a game like this for quite some time. Cheers !

Same here.. I just started replaying it About 4 days ago on my pro & Man this game is just miles ahead for sure.. It's breathtaking! It's like next-gen came too early in 2018🙌

@@joeldiazdzimbiri1699 Said it when it came out. This was meant for next gen then ( current gen now). You'd still need a beefy PC to Max everything out even now. It's one game that absolutely tanks my setup when maxed out but then again most current titles would too. The best thing about Red Dead 2 is that the game still looks phenomenal on older consoles- loads better than some of the more recently released titles.

@@bharatjeevan Do you think they’re gonna do versions for PS5 and Xbox Series X/S? I’ve been wanting to buy it and now that they’ve done GTA V for the new consoles I wonder if they’ll do this soon

@bharatjeevan 2 жыл бұрын

@@Dude30977 By PS5, you mean a remaster ? I don't know man. I might be alone here but in my opinion, the only thing the game lacks from a technical standpoint is maybe ray tracing and even that won't drastically change how the game looks I think. What they should bring to the next gen consoles is a 60 fps update which would be a game changer. Sadly I don't know if Rockstar can be bothered anymore about this community 😔. But don't worry about that. Go ahead and purchase a copy for the console you prefer. The game still looks gorgeous on my cousin's PS4 and it should look and perform even better on a PS5. Digital Foundry did a video on RDR 2's old gen console versions and explained how the game looks and plays best on the Xbox one x. The game in its current state is still miles ahead of any other open world title imo. Looks phenomenal irrespective of the platform. You can't go wrong with either an PS5 or an XBOX series X when it's being played in native 4k. Happy gaming 👋🏼

By far my personal fav game since 2018. Love this game to this very day which I find myself missing from time to time which lures me to play it on PC for maximum pleasure. It’s good too on one x but I just MUCH prefer the PC experience now days since it supports a very vibrant modding community that breathes extra life to this already masterpiece of a game. Excellent tech analysis, most I knew already but stating the obvious just makes it more that relevant imo. I particularly like the level of verbal sophistication and choice of words during the presentation 👌🏼 It matches perfectly with the level of love and dedication the developers clearly put into this game. That and the fact that it practically covered everything one can hope for. Well done sir! 👍🏼

Man this game is truly remarkable in so many ways. If I had to choose one key component that really stands out it would have to be the volumetric clouds. They did such a fantastic job with them and it's by far the most selling point to creating a believable environment. I often find myself just standing at the top of a mountain and looking down over the clouds to the environment below, you can see the light shafts casting around it's insane.
