  • Playground Games returns with its most impressive work yet. We took a trip to the studio to meet the team, talk about the tech upgrades and check out the X Enhanced advantages. Microsoft's enhanced console is lead platform here, so what does that mean in terms of improvements vs the S?

    This game looks so good on 4K that there are moments when it LITERALLY looks like real life. Not when your up close to things, but when your on the open country roads it’s insanely realistic.

    This is indeed a 4K video - check back later for ultra HD video once RUclips's encoders have produced their highest quality output, or watch now at 1080p60!

      Appreciate the quality content as usual, but was hoping you would give Xenoblade Chronicles 2: Torna the Golden Country a look because it apparently uses a new engine and I would be very interested in a breakdown of the tweaks, changes, and improvements.
      (Also, replied to this post to hopefully avoid being dogpiled in the comments, I wouldn't typically post a reply so tangentially related to the post it is attached to).

    You can't overstate the impact of the dynamic nighttime shadows. It adds an indescribable depth and immersion that you can't unsee. The angles of light and dark thrown up against the scenery and creeping along the ground like demons emerging from the underbellies of the cars, leaping from the point where rubber digs into road... its a visual feast, a frantic beat era poem that is part of this living world but seems to extend from the player, as the cone of light from the headlights illuminates the solid, tangiblity of racecars, darkening the space beyond.

    Am I the only one who can't see any drastic graphical upgrades compared to FH3? It looks very similar to FH3 in graphics and assets, just with seasons. I've played the last one so much I can't be wrong on this one. There's not much of a graphical update here, but I'm not saying that's a particularly bad thing, because it's still a good looking game. The thing that could've been improved though was LOD, but consoles are holding us back with their crappy CPUs, which bigger LODs require. I was expecting much more upgrades since xbox one x is supposed to be helping PC too by pushing graphics further. I guess not as much as I wanted to see.

    • @TexelGuy
      @TexelGuy 5 лет назад +2

      I mean, for a start, like I said, view distance/LOD. Consoles can't handle higher view distances so games are built around their horsepower and not increased that much in the PC version's max settings. If consoles didn't exist developers could go ham with view distances and other graphics settings and make their games much more modular, optimize much better for PC, and would probably run much better on less powerful hardware due to the care gone into optimizing only for one platform.

      TessellatedGuy They aren't as evident on a RUclips video, but watching this game running at 4K with HDR makes FH3 look like a remastered last gen game. Even the performance mode looks better than FH3, and that's without HDR.

    • @TexelGuy
      @TexelGuy 5 лет назад +1

      Thresh I played the demo at max settings on PC, I know exactly how it looks. Resolution only doesn't make a game look great. I was expecting a bump in graphical quality that makes it more obvious, like larger LOD, which is useful for large open areas like: 0:16. I could play FH3 at 4K on my PC already (after patches).

Instead of just loading you into the race. The actual racing is great, it’s just poorly designed.

    congrats to Playground Games for creating such a beautiful gem. I don't yet own a 1X (at some point I will), but rarely can you say about a racer (or any video game) that it is BOTH, one of the best looking games ever AND also one of the funnest racing games ever. Usually these two different aspects of video games isn't seen in one game... often a game looks brilliant visually but is at the very least somewhat flawed when it comes to gameplay (and vice versa).
    I just need to hurry up and get a 1X!! if it wasn't for the Forza Horizon franchise (and may be Gears), I wouldn't be thinking twice about owning a MS console. But you can't deny the greatness that is Playground Game's last two masterpieces of open-world racers (not to say FH 1 & 2 were bad games). if you are denying their greatness, then you're either a stubborn fanboy or you just don't like or care for racing games at all.

    Racing game in 4K 30 fps is lame experience... Anything under 60 is no go for racing games.

      60fps is better but forza has always been well optimised 30 fps is perfectly playable on forza

      Disagree. 30fps is fine.

    Great analysis as usual. I wish that playground games would release an RPG game based on this engine

    I absolutely loved the demo, 60 fps is choice! I love my X. I haven't bought a racing game since need for speed 2. I'm getting this game for sure.

    After all this Drive Club still looks more real.

      stablizershock dude, go troll somewhere else. Driveclub doesn’t have shit on Forza.

      FH4 has beautiful graphics and way better gameplay just saying DC looks more real. Its my opinion.

      stablizershock may look more "real" (the fuck that means) but still is technicaly bellow FH4

    • @stablizershock
      @stablizershock 5 лет назад

      It means DC looks more Ray Traced than FH4.

      stablizershock Nope. I own Driveclub and been playing the FH4 demo.
      Driveclub may have some "photorealistic" look but is dated...
      On a big TV screen, the backgrounds and stages look very blurry and full of artifacts, due to heavily compressed textures and excessive post-processing (needed to hide the lower resolution assets since the PS4 wasnt capable of more...)
      Forza Horizon 4 instead, loos incredibly sharp and detailed as heaven!

    Can't wait for a PC analysis. I was able to max the demo with 60fps+. This game is going to be great!
