PS4 Graphics

If red dead redemption 2 can have so much better graphics, why can't eso? I know it's five years old but is there no way to overhaul the graphics on ps4?

I kind of miss playing on PC because of how much better it looks there.

    Not so much. This game has way too much to load each step of the way that if they started adjusting the graphics, we'd like get even more lag.

    You can’t really compare an MMO to a single player game (RDR2’s online mode isn’t anywhere as detailed as the single player mode). If graphical quality were increased to RDR2 levels (which would never happen anyway, due to the amount of work that would take) the game would probably be unplayable.

    They could overhaul the graphics. This may or may not entail needing a new game engine. So, that would need to be developed and tested. Then the deployment and compression of higher resolution textures without crippling disk space that is already a huge issue with the bloated install of this game would need to be implemented. Of course then there is all the hardware and software testing that would be needed.

    So yes if you and a million other people are willing to pay up front for it they could probably arrange it for you. Maybe contact ZOS and see how much money you would need to guarantee them via a gofundme to make it happen?

    I can’t speak to the ps4... but playing on an Xbox one x... some aspects of the graphics are better (its in 4K after all) but what makes the pc better overall is the lighting and, most bigly, the frame rate... which is far, far superior.

    I play on a PS4 Pro in 4K HDR and eso looks pretty freaking good. Yes RDR2 looks better but your comparing apples to oranges.

    Have you tried 1080p enhanced?

    it's not quite as sharp but the trade off is ambient occlusion, reflections, and deeper shadows that look better to me than the 4k.

    Yeah, I think I'm going to go get a 4k television, I need an upgrade in that department since sometime now anyway. Maybe that'll make it better.

      Red dead 2 looks good in the small bubble area around you every thing else low res and blurry as heck -movie style-
      still looks pretty the way they did it was a amazing game
