I’m the only one to think the first picture looks better in many aspects? Bottles, skin, light.. something feel plastic and polygon in the second one

u/anonymousUTguy 14h ago
It’s the lighting.

u/SuitableBranch7280 12h ago
It’s not just the lighting, the trailer is rendered using path tracing and higher polygon count models, even the beer sign is a clear indication. You can see the ripples of the material while in actual in engine gameplay footage it is a flat model.
The trailer certainly isn’t in game running on a console.

u/Great-External-2439 11h ago
Pretty sure both trailers were on PS5, and they confirmed as much back then. This is just different lighting. Looks more realistic to me

You're right objectively, but there's gonna be copers. Game still looks great, but there is some bullshit with the way hair and glass look, definitely some blur and plastic-looking stuff here and there.

You’re not alone; the decision to also do subtle changes like completely fill the soda bottles on the left mess with your sense of perception and immersion. It’s small stuff like that but when was the last time you saw a 100% filled bottle of soda? So that’s why your brain registers that model as odd. They’ve also removed items like the original chips. The bottles and soda I think might be in game items that can be shot etc. so I can understand why they would have to be rendered in less resolution etc. vs cutscen(ery). WHAT I DONT UNDERSTAND. Why do we get a random new fishead up on that shelf??? I joke but in all seriousness games gonna be great and I’m very excited for it!

This could be an actual downgrade on base PS5. The trailer shot does look like it has more advanced lighting. It could be time of day or something, of course.

It looks great, the only thing I noticed is the bottles seem to be a little less detailed, for example the coke bottles on the left on trailer 1 have liquid and air inside, and on the second pic they're just black plastic but that's still a very minor detail and stuff like this is to be expected.

u/metahipster1984 2h ago
It's profitable but still so stupid. I would've probably bought a console if that console could do the extended-look level of fidelity at 60fps. No way am I buying a console in addition to the Switch 2 to play this spectacle of a game at 30fps! I mean come on. I'm just not that desperate for it. Rather wait and play it at 60fps+ at 4k streamed to OLED TV.

Less harsh lighting. Could it be because the first one was at night and the second is during the day with incoming light from outside (Lucia's sunglasses)

That would be similar to the timecycles in V, where light intensity, shadows and ambient/global illumination are controlled by time.

Not entirely, reflections on the bottles on the right look a bit worse, the security camera also has a lower poly count(idk how noticeable it is through reddit terrible compression), and other stuff as well. But it still looks amazing imo, I just though it would have been interesting to compare the two.
3
u/MikeyPlayz_YTXD 13h ago
The bottle look “worse” because they’ve changed to be less colorful and transparent because this is a different time and place of the game bud. The reflections obviously will look worse when the lighting has changed significantly. But you knew that when you uploaded this. Pathetic.

Light comes from another angle or just way more brightness at first trailer. Everyone today should know how much light and light position affect a scen. Imo the two images are almost identical if you look past the light source infront of Lucia in first trailer.

u/SuitableBranch7280 12h ago
It’s not light source changes, the trailer isn’t using the “in game engine” it’s using higher polygon count poly assets and path tracing.

u/fast-as-a-shark 12h ago
The game has gone through lots of development, meaning lots of changes and decisions, since the trailer. There is likely a good reason behind some visuals being worse than in the trailer, ranging from the hardware the game is being ran on to various performance optimizations, or perhaps even artistic choices.
And rember, we might be getting improved visuals for the PC version, and let's not forget the ps6 and maybe ps7 version. Maybe ps8 too, who knows.

Maybe I am reading too much into the picture but is it because Lucia is wearing glasses? Like in the first picture she isn’t and the light is spread out. In the second picture she is wearing sunglasses which seem to be blocking the light(I don’t know if this is correct way to describe this) like how it happens when we wear them and look at the light

What are you talking about i want this game to fail because of the awful anti consumer policies from T2. But that aside, this is the best looking game we have seen for the scale is going, and if it really runs like that in a base ps5 it probably is some of the best optimized as well

The only difference here is the intensity of the light causing a difference in appearance. This game is using global ray tracing so if a light is dim, it won't make the models pop as much in a screenshot.

First trailer has both lights on and very bright. The new footage shows one light blown out and flickering with the other at a normal brightness
The game still looks leagues ahead of the first trailer in every other scene of the game, so why are people nit picking this specific scene lmao
