When I first came out of the tunnel I spent an hour or more just wandering the forest, climbing trees and marveling at the beauty of the world they’ve created.
Honestly I’m shocked how good this game is, considering it’s Ubisoft. It’s exactly how I wanted it to be as a fan of Pandora and the Na’vi. The story of the movies is okay, but the setting is the real reason to watch. They’ve perfectly captured it in the game.
I'm curious why you say you are shocked considering it’s Ubisoft. Have you been disapointed by the setting in other Ubisoft games ? I think Ubisoft games in general are some of the best in terms of environments and locations.
@@barbuceanu2005 Ubisoft game environments haven’t felt alive to me since like, Far Cry Primal. Far Cry 5 was fun, but everything since then just hasn’t impressed me. This is _similar_ to their other titles in terms of the formula, but the world feels alive and vibrant and makes me want to explore and see what else I can find. Don’t get me wrong, I can enjoy just about any game. But I was worried this one would be just a Far Cry game in an Avatar skin. So far it seems significantly better than that.
You should start uploading in HDR. They did a really great HDR implementation except for the raised black levels which can be fixed rather easily with lilium's shaders. Looks great!
RUclips makes it hard to do so, I've run into compression issues with his videos before, horizon zero dawn videos to be specific, where the compression algorithm just crushes the blacks. But it's RUclips and their crap algorithm
I'm actually pretty impressed, it geniunly looks like an alien world. I don't really care for the series but this looks like some good fun if you grab it on sale or something.
@@tenborckI wouldn't say more, but just as impactful. And good luck with that. You will be fighting the RUclips compression algorithm. There are a few HDR channels out there and they have to put in A LOT of work to tone map everything properly. It's not made easy is all I'm saying. The problem is still lack of true standardization, they say there are standards, but there are still a few competing ones out there that just muddy the waters. I'm certainly not against it, I have an hdr1000 panel myself and am with you 100%, I'm just saying BUT.......
@@TheChuddington No I don't. Immersion for me is smooth performance, ambiance, great visuals and soundtrack. These games where you customize your character, but never get to see your work are silly. Cyberpunk *cough cough*
@@TheChuddington it is and i love that the game is in first person really games should make use of both probably in different situations but for this game first person *is* the right choice
I remember I used to have this mindset, then I got older and realized who really cares in the long run. If it's a game I want to play, why waste time and wait for nothing? You only have time in this world. Also, Ubisoft+ is only $15 per month, gives you a chance to at least try and beat the game.
@@SeanOptimoa what you wrote makes a little sense but.. Waiting a year is not that long, and by that time the game will hopefully be bug free and second: depends on your playstyle. I often revisit older games so I don't like games appearing and disappearing like shows on Netflix. Third: exclusives are a cancer. Won't give my hard earned money for as long as it's a certain gamestore exclusive
@@micha3624 My point is, if I want to play a game I'll just buy it. It really doesn't matter what store it's from anyways. Example, I don't own a switch but I still play every new game on my PC. Exclusives are not going away in this society and some will never branch over into other stores. Look at Kingdom Hearts, imagine how much they would have made if they put it on Steam but they never will. Sometimes, if you want to play something now you just have to get over what store it is on.

same haha
Same
Absolutly same😁👍
Whether the story is good or not, this game is a great example of the future we have in game engines. They packed this game, and it looks AMAZING.
true

@@nerdoutreachprogram5358I mean I still would like it to be similar to Far cry in terms of gameplay
@@Erwintauler it is, but better.

biggest problem is that just few people can watch HDR video and I do not want to exclude 70% of the viewers
@@DigitalDreamsythow would u be excluding? if the monitor doesnt support it, then it just wouldnt show up in HDR no?
@@blackorean9619 nope hdr videos are nearly grey for non hdr users
@ViktorVelkov Hey, where can I find those shaders to fix the black levels? How do I apply them in game?
Best forest and foliages in video game to date
imagine going back into the 90s and showing someone this. they wouldn't believe you.
haha true
I seriously cant wait to buy this.
This game reminds of scaler on the ps2 with all the fluorescent flora! 🤩🤩 ugh to finally have a game like that with the hardware now is unreal 😍
Everything looks great except the water. Also it has more fps than Ark Ascended 💀
so true, the water is awful...
I'm actually pretty impressed, it geniunly looks like an alien world. I don't really care for the series but this looks like some good fun if you grab it on sale or something.
my goodness me this gane is georgouse😍😍😍
Amazing visuals and a lifeless world
Give me permission to make a HDR version of your channel
Damn you guys have been spoiled by hdr
@@DarkIdrees I consider it more impactful than raytracing
@@tenborck kek

Are you using here RTGI also additionally to the ingame RT?
@@redko79 no :)
i want star citizen planets to look like this lol
YOUR VIDEOS ARE SO UNIQUE
Thank you :D
Amazing graphics!
How exactly do I make sure its downloaded properly?
How low are the graphics settings to achieve this FPS?
Yes.
A tough competitor to RDR2!
Whats your Settings? By me, my game is blurry as hell, i play all max out at 4k.....
Thank you for video. Would be great to see comparison, reshade on\off
Beautifulll 😍😍😍😍
Where is the reshade on your page? I just bought you a coffee on your ko-fi page:)
Absolutely beautiful ❤
What's up with water? Why does it look like cooking foil
no clue water sadly is awful
Stunning.
There is hidden unobtainium preset ( dont know how to get to et...)
-unlockmaxsettings
Skyrim with 100500 mods?
If you tell me that these are scenes from the movie. I will believe you.
Man I wish this game was 3rd person like the Horizon franchise. I can spend hours just exploring and listening to that amazing soundtrack.
Don't you find first person more immersive for exploring though? I've always been a bigger fan of first person (other than RDR and some others)
@@TheChuddington No I don't. Immersion for me is smooth performance, ambiance, great visuals and soundtrack. These games where you customize your character, but never get to see your work are silly. Cyberpunk *cough cough*
@@TheChuddington it is and i love that the game is in first person
really games should make use of both probably in different situations but for this game first person *is* the right choice
Афигенно!!!
Soo... what looks better, this or Forbidden West?
I need to wait for forbidden west pc release to tell that
The game already does software raytracing.... so what's the point?
good game to play when you are high as kite
i like sprace grames
good series, good graphic. but ubisoft. XD
Is this game a walking simulator?
Pandora is just mincraft rendered in a higher resolution. Given floating islands, black kittys that hold terrorists off and all that.
08:20 meh
people here trying to find something mediocre looking be like: 👁👄👁
Makes me want to smoke dmt and visit the real place just like James Cameron did
looks just slightly better than an ultra modded Skyrim imho.
not on Steam - not buying it. Second, too expensive for 11h of gameplay

Terrible water
so true.... completely wrong reflections on it
