Did they get a special award mentioning their HDR implementation as well?

UltraNova2624d ago (Edited 2624d ago )

Or the recent downgrade as chris said bellow.

Seriously, a company like R* cant be bothered to fix HDR....damn how the hell do we expect "lesser" devs to better themselves and their products?

Anyway, does anyone know how or why RDR2's HDR is not well...HDR. what's the problem here?

Rainslacker, where you at?

sagapo2623d ago (Edited 2623d ago )

This pretty much explains it: https://m.youtube.com/watch...
HDR or not, the world in RDR2 is just stunning.

EmperorDalek2623d ago (Edited 2623d ago )

The HDR works just as intended. Some games choose to limit HDR to get a certain look. Either way, it's easily the best looking game of the generation, so far.

chris2352624d ago

they got an award for downgrading their game? cool.

EmperorDalek2623d ago

No, they got awarded for making the most immersive, and best looking game of the generation. That in an open world game, too. Find me a more impressive game in 2018 from a technology standpoint.

Profchaos2624d ago

It's world blew me away so many tiny details coming together to make a world feel lived in. like if you kill something you can see it decaying over time, you see forests growing and being chopped down as time ticks along, houses that are under construction are being actively worked on over time and eventually completed by NPCs along with the mud tracking, hair growth and every single action being acted out instead of just a canned animation there's nothing quite like what rockstar have achieved here.

TheSinsibleOne2624d ago

It's insane how beautiful the world is. And very realistic it is. Just cleared it a 2nd time yesterday. So epic.

windblowsagain2623d ago

Good looking world. But has the benefit of 30fps and a strange motion, The same type of feeling when in the house as the young girl in the last of us. Like it's controlled. Hard to explain.

Graphics are excellent in most places, except HDR and SSAO has recently been removed to some degree.

The main problem is the control scheme which is poor imo and for that reason I stopped playing the game.

EmperorDalek2623d ago

Personally, I think it's the first 10/10 game of the generation. It certainly deserves this award - it's technically a game only Rockstar was capable of making.

ClayRules20122623d ago

I respectfully disagree with you on it being the first 10/10 game of the generation. I do agree with you in the fact that only Rockstar (because of their amazing talented dev’s/huge teams all over the world, and unlimited time/resources are probably the only game studio in the world to achieve what they have from a technological standpoint with RDR2, with all the things going on in the open world.

EmperorDalek2623d ago

Absolutely. And that's fine, it's all subjective. I probably only had four games I'd consider to be 10s before now, so it's just rare from me.

ClayRules20122623d ago

Yeah, all subjective indeed. I hear ya.

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

dveio28d ago

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

Jingsing28d ago

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Tanktopmaster9228d ago

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit28d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing28d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster9227d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
