Great stuff! One thing about TLOUII that really blows me away but that isn't talked about as much is the dynamic facial animation system. I'm someone who really enjoys photo modes, and the realism of the expressions on the character's faces in basically every frame you pause on is staggering. Their eyes are dynamically drawn to certain features of the environment, and their faces betray emotion as well as exertion. Just an awesome effort that means photo ops are effectively endless.

Starting with the hard contrasts, the leaf system, the sense for nature in all the different environments, up to this overall very respectful and high class look... it’s just stunning.

@Dork Andrson This article was never about how broken Cyberpunk is, it's all about the eye candy. And Cyberpunk stomps everything else in the visuals department. It might be "easy" to make a neon city look good, but to then add on the amazing raytracing that game has elevates it into a whole different league. My GOTY was Ghost of Tsushima, no question. But Cyberpunk takes the prize for best visuals, absolutely no question.

In the same vein as Doom 64, I'd call out the excellent work done on Command & Conquer Remastered. From using some smart upscaling of the FMV, to redoing all the unit and structure assets, it really pulls off the job of preserving the game's visual fidelity while making it compatible with modern high resolution monitors. I was thrilled to see they even preserved the immersive installation sequence from the original C&C. Can't praise the team at Petroglyph enough for their amazing work.

I got myself a 3060Ti for CP (2020 was long and exhausting and a needed to treat myself) , and now after Patch 1.05 fixed my SMT related issus on the 6 core Ryzens.. it runs above 60 with mostly high settings and all RTX features on and i LOVE every second of the game. Its just a constant massage for the eyeballs. Its a blast. The more i play.. the more i want to play it.

It sounds like your just a bitter AMD fanboy to me. The fact is, they are just stating that RT bumps up the visuals and makes the game look far more realistic and hence adds to the immersion, than when the game is purely using rasterization. The only GPU's that are supported at the moment to use RT on Cyberpunk are Nvidia RTX cards. So obviously, they are pointing this out.
