Ratchet & Clank graphics stomps older Pixar films

Is this like... a shock?

I'm sorry matey but the lighting and textures in that film and PISS POOR by todays standards...

I can't wait to play the game tonight.

This game simply dominates graphically, hermits are mad as hell coz they don't have anything like it lol.

Forza 6 Apex for Windows 10

Rendering Target is 4K 60 fps on Windows PC.

I had a good laugh TC, ty.

Cows being blind again.

While it is popularly attributed to the PS2 it was the Xbox that was supposed to have Toy Story graphics:

"We're approaching the level of detail seen in Toy Story 2" - Bill Gates, 2001 CES

Polycount, texture resolution, animation, shadow resolution, hair rendering.

@skektek:

I think Sony said it in 2000.

And they werent 100% wrong. Some PS2 games look better than CGI from 80s (far from Toy Story, though):

As for current generation, many games (not only R&C) do look better than early CGI or even early Pixar games. I don't get why people are so mad at this, it was innevitable!

The first instance of a comparison between video game graphics and Pixar/Toy Story was published by the Chicago Sun ('99?). It didn't reference any single system just the promise of what a new generation of consoles would be capable of.

Later independent 3rd party publications began to associate PS2 with Pixar/Toy Story graphics. Sony itself stated "The quality of the resulting screen image is comparable to movie-quality 3D graphics in real time".

It was Microsoft that took the initiative to publicly announce Pixar/Toy Story level graphics.

It's not always a great looking game, that's for sure.

I would say it looks better then the old Pixar stuff.

another lol thread from one of the biggest lol posters here,no way it doesn't even come close to that level of CGI.

@shrek: Eurogamer said the cutscenes from PC (real time) blend perfectly with inserted movie scenes from the 2016 R&C movie, the only noticeable difference is the jaggies, the real time lightning in this game is far superior to toy story and other 90's movies, so games might never achieve that geometry and resolution, but this game does look much better than toy story

@leandrro: Eurogamer doesn't know the first thing about lighting.

Took them four generations to finally match Toy Story.

@hiphops_savior:

God of War 3(2010) more than made up for that.

You guys are liar.

WHY THE HELL YOU USE SMALL IMAGE BUT NOT PUT IT LARGE AND SEE THAT IT'S NOT STOMPS PIXAR FILM. STOP USING CUT SCENES!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Just finished getting the platinum trophy today and the game never failed to impress. It really could be the best looking game ever.

Stylistically it's a great and creative looking game, you need to come back down to reality though, the aliasing is on some pretty extreme levels, the models and assets are mostly simple and easily rendered geometry and the textures are quite large and simple as well.

It looks like an improved Knack overall, what you would expect from a game like this three years into the systems life.

Great game, but you're overselling the shit out of the way it looks man.

Understand this, not everything in R&C is better, obviously the iq, polygon count or shadow resolution are still higher in older Pixar movies but things like lighting, shaders, amount of actions on screen are actually more impressive in the game. So taking it as whole the game appears more graphically stunning overall.

Older Pixar is so OWNED.

Phone won't link it. 2 years before or xbox was released

Toy Story 2 am cry..

Just starting playing this game last night. It looks amazing. My only negative critique be the aliasing looks a bit rough sometimes, but it generally looks amazing.
