Yea, you're probably right. 😁 I do have nostalgia glasses on but when I say "surpassed" I feel like we surpassed Toy Story graphics at the start of last gen but not in all aspects of graphics. This is the first time I think we've surpassed those old CG in very aspect (from lighting to character models and everything inbetween).
Yep, the movie was also re-rendered (remastered?😉) so it used to look a bit worse though it was hard to tell on a VHS.Toy Story was surpassed years and years ago:
Lighting, environments, humans, textures, etc have been better since early PS4 generation. Of course it's way cleaner due to the fact that isn't generated in real time but...you guys remember this movie in a better light than it really is.
It was ground breaking at the time for sure though.
I'm such a sucker for that shinobi 3 clone ability in gamesThere's so many bits from this trailer I want to GIF. You really have to play this stuff back at half-speed to really take in everything you're seeing.

More than that, because they only need to load 1 second of gameplay in memory vs 30 seconds which also allows for doing a lot more with a game. At least that's part of it now too plus more powerful GPUs.
I'm not a tech guy but then why do the graphics look noticeably better in the cutscenes? Like the character models and other aspects. If you splice out the cutscene segments in the trailer and show only the pure gameplay it takes away some of the wow factor for the graphics. Is it just because you can do cinematic camera angles in cutscenes or what?
cutscenes are designed to look good all the time. Hand placed lighting to make every single shot look the best it can, you're always zoomed in on the models so they're at their highest level of detail, etc. You can't have that level of control in a game with a player controlled camera(you'd literally have random light sources floating around all the time.
The way the explosion lights up the metal arch and platform is just *chef's kiss*. Also, that shockwave ripple looks so good. And Rivet's movement while strafing? I need to stop looking at thisThere's so many bits from this trailer I want to GIF. You really have to play this stuff back at half-speed to really take in everything you're seeing.
Any chance we'll get a look at the performance mode before launch like we did with Miles? Game looks incredible and I want to see how that mode holds up. The team has been really flexing this gen and we're just getting started!
