Snowdrop really amazed me in terms of quality and capability running the game on console. On my high end pc its just a graphical masterpiece. Game is good and they did an amazing job!

Definitely has more of a Crysis feel than it does Far Cry. Glad I’m not the only one thinking that. I’ve been playing this game non stop on PS5 in Performance mode with a 120Hz 2.1 monitor and it’s breathtakingly beautiful. I wish Photo Mode was a bit more fleshed out though.

This runs at 70-80fps @ 1440 on my X13 Flow and mobile 3080 with full ultra settings. Such a well optimised engine.

yeahhh I dont keep 80 fps on ultra and I am on a desktop 4070ti...@@silverwerewolf975

Are we getting console equivalent settings?

Was that flickering on the static ground just a bug messing with the rendering? (A literal bug-animal in the game, I mean.)

I’m having a great time on PC. My only real complaint is that it’s not on Steam.

seems like a small complaint, the game is still the game steam or epic, i hate steams' dumb ass posts even in the library tab

​@@XZ-III for me it's more a matter of convenience to have all games in one place. That said, I don't really care where the game is, as long as I can play it. Battle Net and Steam are always open on my pc, and I open the others when I need them. Not a big deal imo.

The PS5 Pro can't come soon enough.

This game shows how important custom game engines are. Snowdrop is developed by the same team who makes games using it. Every feature game developers need can be implemented in the core of the engine. To take full advantage of the hardware we need a close cooperation between low-level engine programmers, game designers and artists. To achieve RT in 60 FPS at 1080+ resolution with such high quality assets, a specialized workflow has to be maintained. This is almost impossible to achieve with Unity3D or Unreal Engine 5. Only most experienced teams are able to achieve similar results with general engines. However it takes so much effort that in-house engine would be a better choice anyway.

Similar to the horizon games and Guerilla‘s own engine.

I just can't get over how much the foliage sways for no reason. It can't possibly be that windy constantly.

Do you have the game or just basing this of videos you have seen. Not like that at all for me.

Nearly every game I've played constantly has swaying foliage and trees which is totally unrealistic. I know not all games are trying to be realistic but for me it's a strange design choice. It must be very windy in video game world.

So the performance mode has motion blur locked out? Why is that? Does it also disable per-object blur? I've never seen anything like this before. 60fps benefits from camera blur as well.. It's not that high of a frame-rate. Also the shutter speed is too short in a 30fps mode, it makes it seem even choppier. Other than that the game looks great on consoles, too. Great work, Tom! 🙂

Yeah, it should've been optional like in most other games regardless of the mode.

I noticed that performance mode had motion blur off by default but I was able to turn it on after a restart

We need pro consoles. No way gta 6 will be 60fps on console. It’ll be 1440p 30fps at this rate. Idk how games look only slightly better than they did last gen and yet run hella worse. 800p in 2023 is crazy.
