crispy4000 Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 @Spork3245 @legend The timeframe also seems a little screwy. I thought it was weeks after that Cloud joined up with Barrett and co. Spoiler ...Unless it took Zach weeks to carry Cloud into Midgar, lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a massive game. 145GB and it installs two different times according to my experience. So yea, it was loud because it was still downloading. Now enjoy the game!

eventide11 Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 Between getting back into Bloodborne, wanting to FINALLY go through GoW Ragnarok then Rise of Ronin, then Dragons Dogma 2 the same day.. There's ALMOST no chance I'll play this any time soon. Maybe the ginormous difference between performance and visual will be ironed out by then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 I played 5 hours straight. I haven't done that since TOTK. This game is absolutely incredible and deserving of the 93 score at opencritic. It's NEVER tedious and I'm ALWAYS wanting to know what happens next. I'm struggling to activate my synergies abilities. How do you do that? I thought you held R1 and went from there but nothing happened at a boss fight when I was doing that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greatoneshere Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 Game is pretty good so far, I'm about 7 hours in. I have the game on graphics mode and the game still looks kind of muddy and washed out with significant pop in for small plants and animals. I widened the camera/FOV as much as I could which helps (both in and out of battle), as well as slowing down the camera responsiveness to 2, which helped with motion blur and helped the game look better too. The other two things I did to help make the graphics look better was I lowered the brightness as much as the game allowed - I usually up the brightness with games but here everything just became too washed out. Additionally, with my TV the HDR Luminescence setting was maxed out to 10, I dropped it to about a 4-5 which significantly helped with the colors in the game. I recommend all of these changes to help make the game look much better. The locked 30fps at all times of graphics mode is more than good enough for me. But yeah, it is surprising that the game doesn't look better, like the entire graphics needed one more post-processing pass or additional textures need to load in or something.

Best Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 I have 0 complaints about the visuals and it looks phenomenal. I'm on an OLED so maybe that makes a difference? It definitely never looks washed out in graphics mode. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, the experts disagree with you: Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth tech review: an excellent but inconsistent experience WWW.EUROGAMER.NET Oliver Mackenzie presents Digital Foundry's tech review of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth. How does this UE4 title take advant… I'm talking about stuff they mention in the article like: "Unfortunately, there are some areas where Rebirth is just treading water relative to its four-year old predecessor - and quite a few spots where we've actually seen a step back. Environmental lighting tends to be a serious pain point here. To be fair, many environments look perfectly fine - including the game's cities, which can exhibit decent precalculated lighting, and some of the larger open-world spaces, which look fine while relying more heavily on real-time techniques. Some of the interiors can look quite nice as well, at least when judged from a distance. Low resolution textures can also be problematic. Of course, FF7 Remake had a lot of issues with texturing in its PS4 incarnation, but Intergrade on PS5 mostly solved these issues. For Rebirth though, there's a bizarre mixture of low and high resolution assets. Most of the dodgy texture work comes in the Mount Nibelheim ascent in chapter one, which has a lot of textures that need improvement. You will spot the occasional low-res asset from time to time elsewhere, but the game's first stage has the lion's share of texturing issues." It's all very obvious. Compare this to Horizon: Forbidden West and there's no competition here. I don't mind but it is surprising. I mean, the ocean water alone in the game looks like ass. And if you read the comments to the article they feel DF is being too easy on the game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, there are bad textures but the overall visual package is nice to me. I watched the entire digital foundry tech review and know whats up. I'm just satisfied. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
