I've been watching the Digital Foundry overview of the changes from The Last of Us on PS3/PS4 compared to the remake on PS5, and they found a lot of tiny details to point out, it's crazy.
It's hard to list them all. There is a lot of detail in the lighting/shadows and reflections, but also modeling of details in the backgrounds, animations, water stream motion and foam, attention to the flow of each scene, damage to scenery during gameplay, particle physics, flashlight shadows (even the reflections/shadows of the flashlight bulb), the glow of the material the flashlight is shone on to other objects nearby, AI behavior. Carpet bunching up as characters walk on them. Even the detail on characters you would only see for a split second. In photo mode, like in Ratchet and Clank Rift Apart, it seems like even the most incidental objects are modeled with incredible detail that holds up even when you zoom in up close to them.
Considering how detailed the original was it's amazing to see how they significantly surpass it.
I was lukewarm on playing this game again because I already played the original a lot, but experiencing it this way has strong allure.
