But the fact that the game runs so well on both is generally great news for the increasingly multiplatform PlayStation ecosystem, especially with future blockbusters like God of War: Ragnarok utilizing a similar cross-generation strategy.įor more on Horizon Forbidden West, which launches on February 18th, be sure to check out our full review.While the Xbox One has officially been out of production since the end of 2020, it's still quite relevant. There aren’t any of the neat PS5-exclusive tricks like instantly loading worlds you’ll find games like Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart. This might be disappointing for PS5 owners looking for a killer app to show off their expensive console.
#GAMES LIKE BEYOND HORIZON FOR XBOX ONE PS4#
The upgrades for the Uncharted collection are very similar to what you can expect going from the PS4 to PS5 with Forbidden West: it’s a little bit prettier and a little bit smoother, but otherwise, the games are nearly identical. Last month, Sony released the Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection, which bundled two PS4 games - the excellent Uncharted 4 and the even-better spinoff The Lost Legacy - for its new console. I also didn’t notice a huge difference in load times between the two versions of the game. You get some nice feedback in the PS5’s DualSense controller when firing an arrow, but it’s nothing as groundbreaking as the realistic rumble and tension on display in Astro’s Playroom. You can see the PS4 version in action in the gameplay trailer below:Įlsewhere, the upgrades are less noticeable. (It’s possible that there are some late-game moments that are dramatically different between the platforms, but, at least early on, the PS4 holds its own surprisingly well.) Forbidden West doesn’t run poorly on the PS4 in my experience - though it will probably make your console’s fan get loud - but playing with an improved frame rate is a very welcome change in that regard. It’s particularly noticeable when you’re in a hectic fight, with multiple enemies attacking and firing projectiles while your character rolls around firing arrows. As with most action games - whether it’s Control or The Last of Us - Horizon really benefits from the smoother gameplay that comes from support for better frame rates. Like many games on the platform, Horizon Forbidden West has two graphics options: one that favors resolution, another that offers a higher frame rate.
There are, of course, other benefits to playing on a PS5 beyond pure visual fidelity. It should also be noted that both Forbidden West and its predecessor were built using the same engine, which was also used for games like Death Stranding. Which isn’t a bad thing: the original Horizon was a beautiful game, and its sequel features a broader range of machines to battle and environments to explore, so it’s still very pretty to look at. Really, on the PS4, Forbidden West looks and feels a lot like its predecessor.
Here are a few spoiler-free screenshot comparisons from the first five hours of the game: In fact, when you put images of the two versions side by side, it can be hard to tell which is which. The most glaring difference in my experience (because it’s something you’re looking at constantly) is that Aloy’s hair looks more realistic on the PS5, particularly as it moves around while she’s jumping. There’s some noticeable pop-in on the PS4, particularly during cutscenes, but no major graphical hitches these issues are also a bit more noticeable when you’re moving very fast on one of the game’s mounts and the world is speeding past. Textures on the PS5 are smoother, there’s more detail in some scenes, and overall, the image looks cleaner and has much-improved lighting.
In terms of pure visuals, the difference is negligible. To test this, I played through the first few hours of the game on both consoles a launch version of the PS5 and a base PS4 model. Horizon Forbidden West’s incredible world is easy to get lost in
