Is It Real, Or Is It Red Dead Redemption?

the clouds ain't be moving right.

I don't think the creative geniuses at Digital Foundry (or Rockstar San Diege for that matter) intended for this sequence to be photo-realistic - just pretty and awesome.

Dang, looks cool. Makes me want to try the game now...

Is the moon sitting still? Seems like a strange detail to neglect. Also, I noticed in one spot the sun was still reflecting off the water after it set behind the mountains.

I will continue to nitpick more about this game until they port it to the PC.

Sadly, they have yet to perfect cloud technology. Sure, they look all poofy and fluffy like real clouds, but normal clouds shift, change, break apart, and turn into new clouds as they blow through the sky. These stay almost exactly the same as they are.

Mind you, it still looks very nice.

I live in Arizona in the Sonoran desert, and I am continuously amazed at how much RDR looks like the scenery here. It's so spot-on, including the gorgeous sunrises and sunsets. Literally 95% of the sunsets I've seen here are spectacular. This just proves how brilliant their world design was in this game.

 

[Miumaru]

I actually used RDR as an example in a recent games as art thread. Especcially after trotting through Mexico overlooking the winding rapids of the river.

 

[Onyx Oblivion]

Oh my god. That Assassin's Creed 2 one is far more brilliant than this one, imo.

*drools*

Wow, that is really beautiful. I knew graphics were moving forward but soon we may have finally nailed down realism.

...now could we just do it without neglecting gameplay?

 

[LewsTherin]

If you take the time, you can make almost anything well. Propers to them for making the effort, it paid off.

 

[Nautical Honors Society]

It looks really good, but clearly not photorealistic.

My thoughts exactly. It isn't perfect, but it is extremely impressive.

 

[thenumberthirteen]

Far better than that other RDR film.

 

[Carnagath]

Yeah, Digital Foundry can always make a game look much better than it actually looks. Still, the environments and lighting in RDR were very pretty, while the weather effects bordered on flawless. Indoors of course everything looked much worse and often way too dark. I'd love to see the game on a bleeding edge PC though, I think it would look really stunning.

 

[DTWolfwood]

The place is something else alright. haven't been in an open world game that felt open in a while. Game is my GOTY for sure

 

[Corpse XxX]

RDR is awesome.. And i recommend it to all..

You will spend many hours just traveling around, scouting and finding fun stuff..

Many different things to do and a HUGE world to race around in..

Its a beautiful game.. Top three for ps3 title imo..

 

[nick n stuff]

not exactly real looking but very close. very impressive.
