This highlights a seldom discussed component of next level graphics: Practicality. Or, in short, have our television/computer display sizes and resolution fallen-behind too much to fully benefit from these leaps in computer-generated realms.

I noticed this with Horizon Zero Dawn. The level of detail is spectacular, especially for a game console. For example, with a Thunderjaw you can go into photograph mode and angle/zoom the camera in on the intricate parts and textures of the robotic Tyrannosaurus Rex and the detail is particularly high. In fact it's so high, that even with a fifty-five inch, 4K OLED it mostly goes unnoticed—unless in the aforementioned photo-mode.

Not sure what is more impressive about that clip, that it was a technical demo for the first PlayStation or that it's three minutes long.

A new Harry Potter game where you actually go to Hogwarts to get sorted into a house and learn magic would be great.

joshljr2285d ago

I dunno, it sounds like a life sim with QTEs to me. I'd like to explore it, but...

A Rockstar game set in Hogwarts, however! Learning magic is sidelined and just part of a levelling up system-cum-mini game.

It would be too time consuming to add further complex facial animations on this character for one designer. This is why I'm in favour of simplifying graphics

It's fully explorable, including all the common rooms, class rooms, quidditch pitch etc. This video show a few sections,

That's amazing. Dreams really is the game that just keeps on giving!

ABizzel1925d ago

I'll say this and I'll keep on saying this. Dreams needs to come to PC. It will give it more sales, and significantly more support. A great game that could have a huge community if it was more readily available.

Spoken like the truly uneducated

Awesome! I'm hopping on this tonight then. Dreams is one of the PSVR titles that benefits from the extra PS5 power the most. It looks incredible, very clear! (for a 1080p screen)

Akarogg 925d ago

Plus the frame rate is solid.

@Akarogg, Awesome thanks! He's got some Lord of the Rings stuff in there too: The Dragon Inn, Prancing Pony and Shire home. Not sure how I've missed this guy's stuff, I have over 100 hours in Dreams. Hope it's all VR supported :)

LordoftheCritics924d ago (Edited 924d ago )

Thank you. Didn't feel like eating the free cookies on that site.

Akarogg 925d ago (Edited 925d ago )

Yep definitely.

leahcim925d ago

Dear Playstation please show more love for Dreams!!!

deleted925d ago

100% I hope there's a huge push on it for PSVR2 launch. The ability to create our own VR experiences, with countless hours of created content available to surf for free. It's incredible. It already looks amazing with a PS5/PSVR.... I can only imagine how incredible it will be on a 4k headset!

LordoftheCritics924d ago (Edited 924d ago )

Dreams on PSVR should be a must have.

Abnor_Mal925d ago

As I've said many times before, this is one game that needs to be on as many platforms as possible to get more exposure.

JEECE925d ago

Really PC is the place it needs to be. And yes I understand Playstation needs true exclusives but a creation tool needs to be on PC.

Lionsguard925d ago

This is one game that does not and should not be an exclusive. It's like if Sony had developed Minecraft first and kept on Playstation only. Sometimes exclusives just bite you in the ass and this game is one of them.

Fans??? This is done by one person

WoodsRatesGames1099d ago

Someone else was commissioned to do the music and another person modelled the batmobile. Links to all involved are included in the article.

They should have been made a batman game for the best batman movie. This looks amazing and now I must watch the movie.
