** Official Horizon: Forbidden West Complete Edition Thread **

Maybe he learned it's more fun to actually play the game than run around looking for visual artifacts
I'm finding gameplay a bit meh too tbh, same as first game. Skipping all the dialogue as like witcher 3, it just bores me.
Exploring the world is fun enough along with the combat though
But the visuals outside of vast landscapes/mountain views and character models are awful imo, won't spoil it but there is an area where there is a lot of water again further on and honestly, just makes me want to uninstall again
I'm not joking when I say there are areas where the game looks ps 4 levels of visuals at best 
I'm quite amazed that Alex didn't point out all the flaws, either that or he didn't get far in to start noticing all the issues.I kind of want to make a compilation video showing it but it may ruin the game for some then as once you point it out, you won't be able to help but notice it too

I think you're in a minority with this stuff. I don't think most people would be bothered.
I really hope they add RT down the line as this would be a fantastic showcase for it and really highlight just how bad raster is. CP 2077, dying light 2 etc. raster methods even put this game to shame, which I find quite amusing given they are RT showcases.
e:
also, I got no problems with bad/old visuals i.e. still love 7 days to die and older games, guess the issue with this one is that there are some great visuals on display but then it falls apart in a lot of ways and is even more noticeable/distracting because of how good some areas are like the textures, detail and so on , a bit like UE 5, looks photo realistic but then the animation is noticeably bad.

Take that back! Gameplay is certainty not meh!
PS4 graphics are fine with me to be honest. I play much older games, no issues
Yep. I like graphics a lot and all that. But there comes a point where it becomes cut of your nose to spite your face territory.
Then on the other end you have mrk playing it in SDR as he wants colours to be accurate. It's a game ffs. None of it is accurate and we are years away from anything that resemble real life
But each to their own. We can't all agree on everything. It is more fun this way anyway
No difference with ReBAR on:
Also, screen space nastiness that is actually distracting lol:
Code:
No ReBAR:

If there was a difference then nbvidia would have whitelisted the game with the Game Ready driver release, simply put! I suspect it's run variance for those who say there is a difference, or something in the BG didn't run taking up resources during the ReBAR run etc.

Nvidia don't really bother even if there was a difference unless news site report it then they will. Just look at dead space remake, huge boost for a lot of people and iirc, Alex/DF also pointed it out then nvidia went and whitelisted it with a driver update.
Rebar/sam comes entirely down to the setup, amd/nvidia gpus paired with intel cpu generally see less of an uplift but as said, it depends entirely on someones setup and the game e.g. in quite a few games, I can see up to 25 fps improvement like in dead space. In this, there is about a 10 fps boost for me. Check the reddit thread and you'll see people reporting different findings.

Not using HDR especially when it is reference quality has no words.......

ReBAR made no difference to Dead Space either for me
You need it for certain features of DX12 so as long as it is on in the mobo then that is all you need to do. You also must be on a UEFI instead of BIOS for it to be usable too. It will depend on the game but stuff like direct storage would make use of resize bar and is actually a pre-req to be able to use direct storage anyway.

Because you have an intel cpu
Seems to benefit lower end/older rigs a bit more sometimes.
