Facial animations and textures seem very poor at times.

[(☞ ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)☞]

Some cutscenes have the characters faces looking great and detailed and other ones make them look like potatoes with their eyes and lips moving around weirdly.

Like the scene at the start when Jin wakes up after the battle, his face looked like the skin was loose and flapping in the wind like it wasn't attached to the muscle.

Then there's the lighting with HDR basically making the entire screen super dark if there is a single bright light source to the point that facial bugs don't matter because you can't even see their faces.

Like, everything that's not a cutscene looks great but it's like they didn't bother upgrading the cutscenes to PC quality. I wonder if it's a glitch with high refresh rates since consoles only get around 30fps and I generally sit at 120+.

Yeah I noticed that too. Sometimes they look amazing and sometimes its some ps3 era animations. And the lip snycing even for the english version seems off sometimes

Those are unfortunately limitations of the original PS4/PS5 graphic engine. Textures/mipmaps are average and the black crushing has always been an issue, even in SDR.

Hopefully some modders are able to change it to higher resolution and more detailed textures.

But I also kinda hope they don't so that AAA game companies don't become even lazier in their porting and just release half cooked games and let modders do the rest for free.

Old ps 4 game 🤷

the game has amazing artstyle but it it was not state of the art.

Nope, that's how the game looked at release on PS4. That's how it looks still on PS5 with the Japanese audio and face mo-cap.

The face mo-cap has always been weirdly poor for this 6-7 year in development, AAA, 1st party Sony game.

For me some cutscenes, a black shade falls on Jin face making him look like an african. Any fix?
