This video is pissing me off, because this game does not look as good as Horizon especially Burning Shores (PS5 vs PS5). And what really gets me is he talks about the audio which they NEVER discus about PlayStation games even though most of what he talks about audio is what Tempest has been doing all gen with zero praise from them, in fact they have constantly spread misinformation about Tempest since launch.

For example he talks about the audio distortion from ray traced audio, but this was done just as good maybe even better in Horizon, for example just go to the first major village and there is the big hut where the food guy and the battle mini game, there are tons of NPC in there and when you move in and out and around the outside it's all ray traced every single voice and audio que to still sound accurate.

The reason this game has this level of audio is because this game's lead platform was PS5 and it is a Tempest Audio game, which is then ported onto the other devices. And while I haven't played the other versions of the game I would be willing to bet the audio implementation is best on PS5 with Tempest.

What is happening this gen in the media is such a travesty, PlayStation is dragging the whole industry forward, yet sites like this are aggressively smearing them, misinforming, and purposely not covering the benefits of the platform.

I think this article is only talking about the PC version and PC games. I will edit the tags...

I understand that, it wasn't the tags that made me say this.

It does look pretty damn good.

I'm playing it and love it, both in co-op and singleplayer.
One of the best looking games on current gen after Burning Shores 🙌

Did you play it? I thought its actually a really decent game. Has great na'vi stories and beautiful environments.

I'm genuinely enjoying this game.

Yes, it has its share of recycled Ubisoft design tropes. But they're all reimagined quite thoughtfully to fit the source material. If you want to feel like a Na'vi in an open world Pandora, the game succeeds at that.
