The 8K stills look amazing, the detail is incredible.

Wasabi1611d ago

@Shuckylad

***"What you viewing them on?"***

An old 640x480 CRT television from the late 80's why'd you ask?

Ricegum1611d ago

Wasabi

You got an 8K display? Be hilarious if you didn't.

Gazondaily1611d ago

@rice

Why would it be hilarious if he wasn't viewing it on a 8K (lol) monitor. You dont need an 8k display to appreciate the detail in the pictures.

n1kki61611d ago

@septic You can't be serious. Because if he is viewing them on say a 1440p monitor then he is only seeing a 1440p image. The pixel density isn't the same so the detail isn't the same. Gamers argue about shit they have no understanding about.

Gazondaily1611d ago

@n1k

What? The images look great on my surface Pro. No one is saying the pixel density is comparable to viewing it natively at 8k...they just are very high res pictures that look nice.

I guess all the people below saying the screens look nice are all wrong?

"Gamers argue about shit they have no understanding about"

Exactly. Wasabi just said the pictures look amazing and you have people crying about the resolution of the display they are viewing the pictures on lmao

dcbronco1611d ago

Some people are so full of it. They couldn't stop going on about 1080p when most didn't have a TV for it. Now they want to put down 8k because most don't have it. You know who might have it though? The PC gamer who spends on tech but has limits. They have a good gaming PC but wish they had steady 4k or even 8k. This offers them a chance to get the machine cheap and start working on the TV as the generation moves forward and 8k prices drop.

I am using my rice cooker display

Babadook71611d ago

Well so much for these being real time. Looks great though.

edwardmde1611d ago

@Ricegum. A 4K monitor. Then zoom into each corner? Don’t be dumb.

SublimeStylee21611d ago

Cuz I'm sure all the gamers crying about a 600$ possible price point for next gen are lining up to buy 8k TVs....

True but I think "in engine" trailers are useless as a measure of graphical power if they are not rendered in realtime... This could be runnning on a 20k $ PC for all I know rendering 1 frame per hour...

Well, it's a good job my initial post made no reference to the graphical power of the Series X or any kind of comment as to whether or not the game was rendered realtime in engine or not.

I just said the pictures looked nice.

anonymousfan1611d ago

@Wasabi that's why I started my comment with "true". I don't disagree with you I just wished they show a realtime trailer redendered on the xbox hardware instead.

Wasabi1611d ago

@Anonymous

***"I don't disagree with you"***

Cool bro, I'm glad we both agree that the stills look awesome!

Merry Christmas

SyntheticForm1611d ago

Agreed - those look fantastic.

New wallpaper.

"Insane upscaled stills from a cinematic that at no time said it was real time or even in-engine.*

@fr0sty

***"from a cinematic that at no time said it was real time or even in-engine"***

I'm not sure why you persist in pushing the "nowhere was it stated that the trailer was in-engine" narrative across multiple threads with multiple people proving you incorrect in each thread.

Just in case you missed it, here's the trailer from the official Xbox YouTube channel, take a look at the title - it's all there in black and white.

I just noticed you can see the peach fuzz on her face. That's some detail.

ravens521611d ago

Probably the way you worded it. "The 8k stills look amazing..." I guess people took it as tho your viewing them in 8k because you said 8k lol. "The stills look amazing" wouldve been better. Lol 🤷🏽‍♂️ idc im just saying. Happy holidays everyone!!

Wasabi1611d ago

@ravens52
@n1kki6

The fact that the stills are 8K does not mean you need an 8K display to appreciate the detail in full, only that you would need an 8K display to view the WHOLE image at 1:1 resolution.

It's possible to view the entire image detail on a monitor with ANY resolution, you just would not be able to view the full image at once, so to say that the image detail cannot be fully appreciated on a display less than 8K is not correct.

It's also possible to supersample a higher resolution image to a lower resolution display whilst still preserving much of the image detail in the same way PS4 Pro / Xbox One X supersample higher res images to 1080p displays resulting in a vastly superior image than 1:1 1080p.

All this is by the by as this morning when I viewed the stills and made my post I was using a Dell Ultrasharp 8K display that my partner uses for work.

n1kki61611d ago

But he called out 8k specifically. 1440p pics will look the same as 8k on a 1440p screen other than it will look slightly anti aliased.

Edgelordsupreme1611d ago

For someone who calling people out for not knowing what they're talking about, you sure seem to enjoy putting your foot in your mouth.

If I have an 8k image open on my PC which is connected to a 1440p monitor, the image is larger than my monitors native resolution. So it's either going to get scaled down or appear at its native resolution and I won't be able tosee the whole image at once. Is it the same as viewing the image on an 8k monitor? No obviously not, but to say it will look the same as a 1440p image is very incorrect.

Battlestar231611d ago

Does this mean that games on the series X will be in 8K with 60FPS?

vallencer1611d ago

Honestly doubt any game will be in 8k 30 fps let alone 8k 60 fps. Even though they said it could do 8k. If they do it definitely won't be native. Besides 8k displays are insanely priced at the moment. I like the idea of future proofing your system but let's be real here.

ScootaKuH1611d ago

Of course it doesn't. Be realistic!

It's going to be 32k at 240fps

formanbradley1611d ago

Anything less gives me a headache.
-Internet bulshitter

BenRC011611d ago

Hell no. It won't be 4k 60.

SublimeStylee21610d ago

Netflix has the absolute worst 4k selection for movies, 80% 4k comedy specials. Excluding Netflix originals that are mostly trash, theres next to none for 4k movies.

1611d ago
DarkZane1611d ago

99% of the games won't even be 4K/60fps. Except a few first party titles and the very rare third party who specifically aim for 4K/60fps, almost all games will be 4k/30fps with better details because graphics simply sell more than framerate for casuals and casuals just make up the biggest pool of players by far for those next gen consoles.

rainslacker1611d ago

For the 3 people that have an 8k display and a PC powerful enough to render it? Sounds like a smart business move.

timotim1611d ago

You're better than that Rain...you know damn well its a wallpaper

rainslacker1611d ago

Wallpapers get rendered at 60fps?

ILostMyMind1610d ago

No. It means that you'll always play a worse version of what you saw in trailers.

Print screens from trailer??? what is this, a joke?

SyntheticForm1611d ago

If good wallpaper is a joke.

They're just 8K stills - nobody is boasting the game will be in 8K.

Relax buddeh!

Einhander19711611d ago

Yes looks amazing for a CGI cut scene or intro, let's see proper gameplay I doubt it will look this good but prove me wrong.

CaptainHenry9161611d ago (Edited 1611d ago )

Definitely getting this for PC!! I actually think the CGI trailer was on PC

timotim1611d ago

Ive never seen someone so happy to get supposed CGI for their PC...

CaptainHenry9161611d ago (Edited 1611d ago )

With the proper gpu you will be able to do wonders with Hellblade. The first game looked amazing on PC and was optimized really well

timotim1611d ago

Right over your head haha...

Not sure why the disagrees because clearly it's visually a fantastic looking game. I'd be interested to know what better looking games from 2024 the people who disagreed think look better.

PrinceOfAnger21h ago

I'm interested too, what game looks better this year ?, but we all know who are these people , cleary the ones who don't have the game day one on their favorite platform.

PrinceOfAnger15h ago

@Cacabunga

Lol CGi ?
you need to wait for the full analysis from digital foundry.

Cockney13h ago(Edited 13h ago)

@PrinceOfAnger
You asked a question some agreed some didn't then you ridiculed those that disagreed
why go full fanboy?
That is kinda flaky, I'd suggest maybe seeing some gameplay before jumping the gun, we are all waiting to see what digital foundry say

Abear219h ago

Nobody believes Xbox hype because they burned so many people with Halo, Starfield, and Redfall.

Hard to tell from a monster PC screenshot, but yeah, it will likely be the best looking console game when it launches.

mkis00719h ago(Edited 19h ago)

I mean best looking game of all time so far imho...that said, that is all that we know. It's a set goal that is easy to achieve if you are not getting bogged down in physics, ai, and other power hungry operations. Most dev's have more they are going for then just the best graphics. Also this is one of the first true Unreal Engine 5 games that is pushing the said graphics aspect. UE always looks damn good for each iteration.

I want to see what the face idle animations look like.

Profchaos18h ago

Quite possibly I can't think of anything else that came out this year with a high level of Fidelio like this

Zeref15h ago

It's a new graphical benchmark

Huey_My_D_Long13h ago

Honestly, I agree, just wished MS would have marketed this more. Ill try to pick it up on PC if I have the extra cash.

gleepot13h ago

I definitely think you'll be hard pressed to find a bigger visual marvel than hellblade 2 for a while, regardless of how it ends up being game-wise.

InUrFoxHole11h ago

Yes but I hope the story is good

Makersbreath210h ago

After watchdogs, I’ve been overly cautious of hyping myself up for how a game looks until I get it in my hands.

The game is gorgeous there's no denying that.

Sonic188121h ago(Edited 21h ago)

I should be able to get 4K 60fps in medium to high settings on my RTX 4080. I noticed they mentioned the rtx 4090 in the article

Rynxie5h ago

Will my Nvidia 980 be able to play it on high?

Sonic18814h ago(Edited 4h ago)

@Rynxie

What about the FPS? Trying to get it in 60fps. Hopefully it doesn't turn out like Dragon's Dogma 2

andy859h ago

I'd rather go ultra and 1440 tbh. 4K is massively overrated unless you play on a huge TV

Sonic18819h ago(Edited 9h ago)

I'll be playing it on my LG G3 Oled 55 inch TV. I was going to use DLSS 3.0. As long as I can get a stable 60fps is really all that matters to me

FACTUAL evidence21h ago

Looks good, but don’t know if it’s actual in game graphics. We’ll find out soon enough.

romulus2320h ago

Safe to say the majority of those shots are cut scenes not actual game play and that last shot of the face is absolutely a cut scene, I wish we had in game graphics like that when you're actually playing but we are no where near that level yet. Still it's very impressive looking.

Lightning7711h ago

It's all real time, no cut aways. This is UE5 game so it's all seemless.

The consoles are more than capable of doing it like Alan Wake 2 or even Last Of Us 2 on last gen PS4.

romulus239h ago

@Lighning77

LOL, nah. There's a difference between in engine and in game while you are actually physically playing and controlling the character. I'm not saying the game doesn't look good in fact I've said the very opposite but people need to be realistic, there's going to be a lot of cut scenes in the game just like God of War or Uncharted where the game will look way better in those cinematic non playable cut scenes than actual game play. There's no way that last face shot image is game play, that is a cinematic in engine cut scene, you can disagree if you like but that's what it is..

Lightning777h ago

It's all the same even during story elements. That's pretty much what they've been touting this whole time. DF will break it down so we'll have to wait and see.

PrinceOfAnger18h ago(Edited 18h ago)

If you played the first game you will know this is all real-time in game.

purple10116h ago

the lockdown was not kind to senua, just like Alloy from horizon, she's put on about 15lbs

Psychonaut8511h ago

I may be wrong but I’m pretty sure that’s a different character, not Senua.
