Digital Foundry - We're finally getting to see more of the launch wave of PlayStation 5 titles, with Insomniac revealing a first look at hardware accelerated ray tracing effects in Marvel's Spider-Man Remastered and Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales. A huge improvement is clearly evident in reflections from the tallest skyscraper to the smallest puddle, but bafflingly, the reveal was met with some vitriol on social media. Artefacts and compromises were highlighted, with some even suggesting that we weren't seeing ray tracing at all. The reality is clear though: hardware RT is an emerging feature on brand new consoles developers are just getting to know, it's computationally expensive so compromises are inevitable - and what we're seeing here is very impressive stacked up against similar hybrid RT implementations seen in the PC space.
MonsterVine: "Grand Theft Auto VI isn’t just facing a release delay—it’s battling shareholder expectations that demand nothing less than record-breaking perfection."
We all saw the life-like new trailer for GTA 6, and basically everyone was speechless; now, when the initial hype died down, the players are a bit skeptical that the game will look like the trailer.
I have my slight doubts as well. To my eyes, the visuals in first trailer looks marginally better.
I presume there might be different visual preset(s) for cutscenes, and gameplay and the game'll seamlessly transition between the two.
Then again, they made GTA V possible on a PS3 and RDR2 on an Xbox One. So ... fingers crossed, I guess.
With the way they made this trailer... it looks more like a fast and furious movie than a GTA game. I wouldnt be surprised if this will get a mod on PC to replace Jason and Lucia with Dom and Letty.
I want them replaced by Phil and Jim Ryan models.
The bed scenes'd be quite metaphorical, with current Xbox injecting its games to PS library, Phil'll be knocking up Ryan.
I'm a long-time dev (am I allowed to mention this here?), worked/working on triple A games, and I don't blame people for being skeptical. To be fair, most of my dev friends were also skeptical Black Myth was going to turn out as well as it did (mostly because it came from an unknown dev). GTAVI looks _incredible_ and the "running on PS5" text on the trailer and not specifying PS5 Pro makes me even more skeptical. Also curious how they'll swing the Series S version. Having said that, it's been in development for what, 10 years(?) with an almost unlimited budget and attracting the most talented developers in the industry. With those resources it's possible.

Do not fear.

Cut scenes can always look amazing.
Gameplay is what we see the majority of time when playing the game.
Killzone 2 says hi.
Initial trailer "omg, no way that's real!"
Game: looks even better.
Rockstar tweeted this
"Grand Theft Auto VI Trailer 2 was captured entirely in-game from a PlayStation 5, comprised of equal parts gameplay and cutscenes."
I will wait for PC version it will be the best version. Sucks to wait but it is what it is
I 100% believe that's what the game will look like. Presentation and high fidelity graphics are finally starting to shine later in the gen so expect this game to look as advertised.
Oh it will.... on the Pro. All the effects and reflections look to exceed anything ever done on a base 5 before.
I'm expecting a big resolution and FPS bump instead of marginally different effects like that.
Rockstar have come out and come firmed trailer was a mixture of gameplay/kinematics and that it was all running on a base ps5.
The game will look as advertised they literally have a team of like a 100 people working on this and apparently a cost of a billion dollars to make.
This game will be super optimised!!!
That's cause it won't. This was all cinematic in-engine footage. It's always doll'd up for trailers.

Who said it wasn’t real ray tracing?
A foolish fanboy online?
"From what we can tell from the released footage, the 60fps performance mode sticks with the screen-space reflections seen in Spider-Man on PS4 - the key limitation being that only detail in the camera view can be reflected, leading to many visual discontinuities."
I'm assuming the final version will have RT along with 60fps in the performance mode at 1440p. The Demon Souls' footage we saw ran at 60fps and had ray-tracing in it.... that game is much more graphically intensive than Spiderman. I don't see a reason why we can't have RT and 60fps at the same time. If Bluepoint can do it, Insomniac should be able to.
Looks great!
The implementation isn't the best, but its also a launch title. I was blown away by Spiderman on PS4 Pro and I have no doubt Insomniac's engineers will continue to improve RT effects as the generation continues
Those missing leaves, kills it for me
