These media outlets, trying to pass as gaming journalists, need to close down.
A few have already gone under, but there are still too many of these trying to fool gamers into buying bad games, and ignoring good ones.

 

[peek]

Looks OKAY. I'll definitely play it, love these types of games.

But! Gonna wait for a sale, seems a little jank and more focused on boss fight after boss fight. I like the more slow down pacing of exploring a well crafted and intricate world.

Draugoth , the links in the first page for Steam and Epic stores are switched around.

Ps5 gameplay

Did the screenrant writer miss the second playable character?

He probably wanted some monkeypox scenes in the game

The first alleged PS5 gameplay I've seen so far

I like that.

Okay that looked pretty solid to me, if this is true then we're in for a treat.

I may be wrong, but despite the miserable youtube video compression I think I can recognize a lot of artifacting

It's crazy calling a game rated in the 8's as average. What's above average to you? mid or high 80's? Is a good game in the 90's?

Yeah pretty much I think 70 lower end average.
80-85 average.
85-90 V good
90-92 Excellent
92+ Must Play

I've played too many "amazing" games that turned out to be average at best.
So I've adjusted my personal scale.

I can enjoy average games but I won't rush out to praise or buy them.

You jump from average to very good? Strange.

 

[Bernardougf]

Yeah, especially because the two other common reasons of complaint are...
- sparse technical/performance issues
- lack of QoL feature like map markers and minimap.

Given that the first are fixable and the second are for pussies, it all sounds rather good.

"Retarded protection program" sounds better and its more offensive to them.. win win

Just keep in mind that for example inflated review scores of terrible games like hellbaled 2 or starfield arent same as this game's 80+ review score, here u got no freebies from any journo and many give u negative poiints actually.

It is probably way worse through youtube compression.

I remember noticing quite a bit of visual noise/artifacts in the IGN review and that was supposdely running on a 4090 so let's wait and see. Not that I'm expecting pristine image quality with FSR mind you, but most games are usually not that bad despite all the fuss. I'd be far more concerned with performance at this stage.

 

[Black_Mamba]

PS5 video looks good to me and very smooth. Didn't notice any frame drops.

That blurred effect is called artifacting and is not desirable in a game? I'm not the most hardcore technical analyst.

 

[Fess]

Seems like even a 4080-4090 is going to work up a sweat running this game

I'm not sure if they are trying really hard to not pan to much too hide the god aweful judder or the fsr artifacts.

You guys are out of mind asking for a pro version everytime a game had bad optimization.

Been on this forum for 20 years and this is the first time I can recall nailing the score.

It magically solves all problems obviously

The great thing is that developers don't have to change any code!

My scale changes as and when I feel like it from what I've played.

I've played far too many supposedly amazing games lately for the scale of review scores to actually mean anything.

Plenty of 9s have been average and plenty of 8s have been fucking average.

It's no precious I just think in this day and age the you almost have to take the metacrirtic and apply a filter.

Most 80s in my experience have just been average in reality.

Of course all my own opinion I'm not trying to change yours nor do I care to.

FSR strikes again , if that's not some YT compression fuckery, this looks even worse than Alan wake 2 on PS5 ffs...

Oh well, at least I hope the framerate is solid and doesn't shit its pants evey couple of seconds...

Curated footages with cuts, and the problem still this transparent? I just wish we had an extended gameplay sequence man.

Yea there is, but wasn't this since they revealed. It might be because of the fast paced gameplay.

Show the far right of the bar, where Nintendo shits excellence every single time.


Also, I’m tempted by the ps5 version. Footage shown looks akin to my 3080 on all high settings, Dlss quality, no RT, textures only setting on cinematic, and 4k display.

Rather sit my fat ass on the couch for this one at 1440p performance mode.

Will still wait. Not pre ordering.

 

[Gaiff]

Those might be rendered obsolete by the drivers and the Day 1 patch.

When does the pre-load begins?

 

[Stafford]

Hopefully it won't take the studio until 2025 to get the Xbox version out. I mean how long can optimisation take? Some kind of update after official launch would be welcome too.

Doesn't really look like the debut trailer at all.

[Polygonal_Sprite]

You guys are out of mind asking for a pro version everytime a game had bad optimization.

By that metric every generation has “bad optimisations”. It’s called a game being more taxing than the hardware can handle. It literally happens every gen. Remember GTA IV/V running at 25fps on PS360? Developers vision often exceeds what especially consoles can handle.

Most modern games are GPU bound. If you replace a 10TFLOP console with a 34TFLOP console then the game is going to either run a lot better, look a lot better while running the same or in a best case scenario, both. In short there’s nothing wrong with people wanting / waiting on a Pro patch (especially for games that are pushing high end PC hardware) once the console arrives.

They using TSR or FSR?

 

[Eiknarf]

So it sounds like after a half year of patches this game will be a 9.2 on the PS5

 

[adamsapple]

Looks like FSR, TSR is a lot cleaner. Way too many fuzzy telltale FSR artifacts in those pics at least.
