Based on the graphics of the game.
Do you honestly think it's reasonable for a Radeon 290 to struggle with the graphics of Firewatch on Ultra?
I sure don't.
it'd be nice if people would acknowledge how a game looks to the eye and whether or not the performance it gets on certain hardware is reasonable or not.
I think the game looks pretty damn fantastic.
At the same time, I haven't played it, so I have no idea what it's like in the game outside of the few videos I've watched. I don't know what it's rendering on screen. I don't know how bad stuff like pop-in, etc. is.
Just because it takes a stylized look does not mean it isn't doing some intensive processing.
I thought Campo Santo were cool enough to understand the importance of a midnight release, but their excuse is extra lame.
I would have loved to play it at 9PM PST (my time zone), but how is their excuse lame? This is the first game for them as a studio. Their first release. If it comes out broken for a large number of people because of something they overlooked and they don't respond until their morning, that would be a huge problem for them. Instead, they can be in the office when it launches and actively respond to anything that may come up as it happens.
Considering it's a global release, the timing is always going to suck somewhere in the world.
