Nah it did look amazing. Imo people were tryna downplay it saying it was too dark lol. C’mon, it set the mood for that horror feel. When the bridge and truck tore apart from the winds, I rewound it many times! And seeing that the characters during gameplay was arguably 1:1 level of detail with the cutscene actors, I rewound that too! U gotta have an eye for this stuff! Haha

But the wind blowing the trees was Compute Shader work, basically the GPU was doing physics instead of the CPU, which is much better performance using the GPU. Much like the Witcher but better here imo. Devs are finally starting to leave behind last gen, and from what I saw at E3 and Gamescom, these systems are pushing a surprising amount of detail…

Is that why Gears 4 looked incredibly better than any game Ive seen so far?? Is it me or did that Gears 4 look unbelievable?…

Yeah actually that pdf is a UbiSoft presentation. It’s about AC Unity’s features. If u have the Tomb Raider one I’d luv it, but if not good lookin anyway. UbiSoft stuff was cool.

Just read the pdf, and while it’s short, it’s pretty cool. I think material deformation or movement (trees blowing in the wind, snow altering) is something that programmers are starting to use in a big way this gen, Witcher and Gears 4 comes to mind. They’re making use of compute shaders that allows the GPU to do these kinds of jobs, and it’s just more immersive in the game worlds. This pdf is short, so I wanna find the full Siggraph file. If anyone finds it I’d be thankful.
