Dying Light 1 has better graphics?

[FreddieForever#1]

Is it just me or does DL1 has better graphics? DL2 looks worse to me.

Well i find it looks decent.
But in some aspects in lightning i think Dying Light 1 looks better.
But i also think that it could had been better if Dying light 2 wouldnt have been released for oldgen... I think that was a bit of weight for the devs to look that it also could run on oldgen.
I mean remeber, dl1 was first announced Back then for xbox360 and ps3 but they cancled that because both of the consoles coundt take it

The graphics aren't a huge improvement over the first game, but they're certainly better.

My theory is that it was originally meant to be last gen (and considering how long it took to announce and polish, that's a definite possibility) and the devs are relying on RTX to make it look better in current gen. I think it looks better than DL1, but I'm also playing with RTX on -- people playing with it off seem to be the ones complaining by and large

If you aren't using RT I can see you think it looks meh. But with RT on it looks amazing.

thats absolutely wrong and there is no room for discussion...

you maybe can say that you like the aesthetic more, but DL2 has awsome raytracing effekts which are one of the best we saw in games so far, for aexample shadows and lightning... but remember, this game is still designed for last gen...

if you dont have the hardware, please dont blame devs..

I just watched a gameplay video with raytracing on pc and to me DL1 looks better graphically.

Dying Light's enviroment looks infinitely better, the textures are mildly improved in DL2 and so is the lightning quality but I think the lightning itself, artistically, is better in DL1.

RT on makes quite a big difference, with it off yeah it does look a bit meh

Its just the first impression i have that DL1 looks better, both enviroment and graphics.

Im sure RT is great but there is something off with this game graphically to me.

for me your characters arms look off, like they are too small for his body and the char movement is very slidy, slippery its feels odd

Could be the color grading.

Not for me, DL2 looks way more vibrant and epic. DL1 seems washed out and gray.

Seems like the game was rushed then.
