Dead Island is damn well made (Digital Foundry)

[Playstation Tablet 1,770]

 

 

 

Basically 4k 60fps almost locked on both PS5 and X.

with those dated visuals, it better be 4k/60 fps.

The screens i've seen look good but there's something off about the lighting. Like in this one here, the bottles on the table almost look like they're floating because of the lack of ambient occlusion/shadows

Hmmm I wasn’t impressed with the vids I had seen. I’ll have to watch more.

Yeah, these guys look like they have Call of Duty-level environmental artists.

 

That's the benefit of a group of artists being left alone for years, to just keep on polishing the shit out of an entire level.

 

This is something that is usually achieved by planning a good old fashioned linear designed game, and determining which environments early on, without changing stuff over and over.

@Twinblade ok, I watched more of this video and yeah, the environmental detail is pretty great.
