Is Hellblade 2 the current graphical benchmark on consoles?

Is this the new graphical benchmark on consoles? If not what do you think looks better? Alan Wake 2, TLOU Remastered, God of War, Red Fall, etc???









Alan Wake 2






God of War R

Tbh i havent seen much of it. Apart from the facial animations and weird main character face, it looks good. Cant wait to see what ND is doing

Maybe I'm just blind but I don't see how this is more impressive than even a PS4 game like TLoU Pt 2.

Even when judging graphics you need to take into account interactivity, scope, etc.

The screenshot you posted with the giant looks like complete shit as well. She also has weird face animation where she is constantly showings her gums as if it was poorly rigged.

This game is now the benchmark of how to waste money and dev time just to produce a flop that doesn't even chart on the Top 200 CCU on release day while costing $50.

Probably, by default. What other games can you compare it to? A racing game? A cross-gen game that runs on 2013 hardware?

No, Alan Wake 2 is still the graphics king!!

I think it's right up there; there are some beautiful pictures.
Saying that it's not an art style I like, I said this before, but the setting depresses me.

I like my graphics to be colourful and vibrant, like Horizon Zero Dawn.

Give me lush green forests any day of the week.

We just had six months of winter in the Uk, it was dark, bleak and depressing, and looked just like Hellblade.

I also mentally compared it to TLOU Remastered and didn't see how this would win out especially if we are not hyper focused on just facial animations.

Absolutely. Insomniac mentioned HB2 their target visual fidelity for Wolverine, and that game is 2026.

TLoU Pt 2 animation looks much better to me, this woman face looks off.

Absolutely. Insomniac mentioned HB2 their target visual fidelity for Wolverine, and that game is 2026.

For characters, Wolverine is a much bigger game, full of NPCs and with dynamic combat, amount certainly 60fps.

Incorrect

Senua is used as an example of Photogrammetry, which is the visual target. Senmua is not the visual target, it's an example of Photogrammetry.

sorry, but those pictures kinda too blurry. or there is barely any detail. showing face isn't anything bragg about.

It looks really good, but Forbidden West is still the benchmark, IMHO, and it's open world, runs at higher resolutions and framerates.

 

[riesgoyfortuna]

nah,the scope its pretty limited i still thing forbidden west its way more impresive and at 60 fps

 

[Hezekiah]

Probably alongside Alan Wake 2, but then it also has massive borders.

Given that it's open world I still think Horizon Forbidden West is the most impressive technical feat.

These look pretty impressive

Hellblade 2 looks awesome but excluding the facial animations, it didn't impress me. Personally, A Plague Tale Requiem looks far better overall with a lot more variety in the environments which also happen to be more fleshed out. Some of Hellblade 2 was either inside caves or dark to where you can barely see anything. It's also extremely linear and nowhere near the level of open world games like Avatar and Horizon Forbidden West or semi-open world games like God of War Ragnarok.

How are you enjoying it?

Dropped it after almost three hours. Just wasn't into it.

 

[Yurinka]

Any good uncompressed screenshots of gameplay (not CG/cinematics) to compare?
