After the release of Horizon Forbidden Westmany are wondering if the title in question has been the victim of graphics downgrades. In the world of video games, trailers are intended to excite fans by offering the public evocative and captivating images assisted by a cutting-edge technical sector, but in most cases these trailers are misleading And they do not reflect what the final product will be.
The prospect of a possible graphic downgrade has even been addressed by development teams such as BioWare which, after the concerns sparked by the discussed Mass Effect: Andromedahad reassured fans that the graphics component of Anthem it would not be reduced compared to the reveal trailer.
One of the titles that has caused the most discussion in this sense is Watch Dogswhich was the protagonist of an incredible trailer from the graphic point of view of E3 2012. However, when the title was launched, the graphics did not match to the one shown in that trailer.
If the discussions related to graphic downgrades still hold their ground even in 2022, the recent one Horizon: Forbidden West it shows that sometimes the games can stay true to what is shown in the reveal trailers.
In a long video released on YouTube, user ElAnalistaDeBits compared the trailer shown at the 2021 State of Play with the final version of Horizon: Forbidden West.
In that video, although some slight differences between trailer and game, what is clear is that the work of Guerrilla Games has kept its initial promiseswith a technical sector equal to that seen in the trailers if not superior in certain details.
More specifically, the water shows a deeper blue with more light reflecting on it. In addition to the higher resolution, there are more details on the stone walls and on various plants present in the game world. You can find the video in question at the head of the article.
It must therefore be emphasized that the concerns related to the cross-gen nature of the work (having been released on both PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4) have been sidelined with the release of the final product.
