FIFA 21 on PS5: What to expect in next-gen sports games?

A wonderfully beautiful FIFA 21 on the platform of PS5.

By now, there is no shortage of brothers who have played FIFA 21 on PS5. This game only needs to buy the PS4 version, and go to the store to press the “Upgrade” button for free, so the device will download a brand new version (independent of the PS4 version), with much higher graphics quality, and support. added vibration effect and adaptive trigger on DualSense controller. If you’ve ever experienced FIFA 21 on the new system, you probably already know how subtle the touch of the ball, or the player’s running momentum, is affected when holding the R2 button to accelerate. But for most people, including myself, the most impressive thing is the quality of the game’s graphics, especially in terms of the face and the detail in the skin, hair and wrinkles of each player:

It can be said that this is the furthest step forward of FIFA 21 on PS5 compared to PS4, when the amount of polygons as well as the quality of the “object” texture (here is the model of the extremely famous characters of the shadow world). rock) that the Sony machine can handle. As in the pictures above, if you zoom in close-up, you can completely recognize the checkerboard artifact of the checkerboard style, because the game also renders to maintain the 60 FPS frame rate when playing the game, for example, the earlobe. and Wijnaldum’s teeth, for example. But temporarily ignore the consequences of the image rendering technology that many game studios use, instead pay attention to details such as Neymar’s curly hair or Bruno Fernandes’ beard and shaved hairline, which looks very real. isn’t it brothers?

When it comes to hair, it’s impossible to ignore the animation when the player runs. Maybe that’s why I chose Man Utd to try and take pictures for my brothers, because Edinson Cavani’s long hair is the most perfect proof of the power of hardware that can create an authentic sports game. what level. Likewise are the curls of Jurgen Klopp and Mauricio Pochettino:

One thing that is very easy for you to realize is that the light effect on the surface of the skin on the player’s face and hands looks very different from the PS4, thereby enhancing each individual player’s contours. In the PS4 version, sometimes players look very “dumb”, because the hardware can’t load the lighting effects and the way human skin, especially how different skin colors, react to light sources. that. In particular, with the application of global illumination more effectively and accurately, in each area of ​​the stadium, depending on the light source, the projection angle will also be different:

A slightly unfortunate point, is that the character movement of FIFA 21 on PS5 is not much different from the previous version, there are still quite a few differences and inaccurate details in motion and collision. Perhaps we have to wait until the FIFA 22 version released this year, so that EA can most comprehensively upgrade the gameplay of the game. This version is still good, but the difference compared to FIFA 20, for me, is too small to realize.

Back to the question in the title. FIFA 21 is just one of the first shots to open the chain of excellent sports games on the next-gen console, alongside NBA 2K21 and MLB The Show. Konami in Japan last year abandoned the development of PES 2021, only releasing a very light upgrade to update players called Season Update, for two reasons, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the development team. development, and Konami wants to focus on staffing to make PES 2022 on the next gen platform in September this year, as expected.

To a certain extent, I expect that next-gen will not only bring realistic athletes’ faces to every wrinkle, every hairline, but also create an incomparable atmosphere. when we can sit in the stadium with tens of thousands of spectators, cheering for our favorite team, relying on many different technologies, from graphics to sound. This is very possible now, especially with 360 Reality Audio or Dolby Atmos surround sound emulation technology, for example, but the screams of cheers, the tunes of thousands of people humming along, and many other sounds. Until now, the game has not been able to effectively apply, bringing video games closer to real life, at least in the sport of kings.
