Day one for me. If it wasnt for Resident Evil 7, the first one would be the best horror gale this gen so far.
Was posted 12 posts before you made this.
Comes from four things, I did some digging and asking around to get some of it.
The main take-away is it's not running on the same engine as TEW1 was, but I think that may have been a foundation and they upgraded it with some of the pieces of idTech 6 and then their own coding.
I'm excited but something I read about it doesn't sound like a fun way of managing resources.
Maybe I ready it wrong (not trying to read or see much about the game before playing it), but it seems like the Green Gel that is used for upgrades can also be used as a consumable? Like you can choose to use it for upgrades or, perhaps something else like a weapon or sorts but of course it's gone once you use it on some ammo or w/e it can be used for.
I dunno, I don't like that. Got it preordered though. I bought the first on day 1, but lost interest around chapter 6 or 7. Finally played through it this year again, and beat it. It had a lot of potential but the first half or so of the game was so much better than the last half.
The game is running on a custom engine by Tango Gameworks, which uses some of the skeleton of both idTech 5 & 6 within it. A Frankenstein Engine, of sorts. They put it together to fit their own needs, but have aimed to elevate some issues of the original, including reducing and removing many load times, lowering the amount and time of texture pop-ins with the engine, allowing much easier HD resolutions and 60fps, and to have a lusher lighting system for them and to allow much bigger levels.
The game will support PS4 Pro and Xbox One X Enhancement, being able to run at 4K on PC, PS4 Pro, and XOX. It also has HDR support on all platforms.
Really?
2160c with solid 60fps on PS4Pro? Can they push it that far?
Or perhaps is it sth lower than 2160p on PS4Pro just to keep the 60fps?

Hell, I already scheduled off work to get into it, Day one!
Looking forward to this. Played the original multiple times, I'm actually doing another playthrough + DLC on Mixer. Was present at E3 and was at the Bethesda announcement (up front with a laptop in hand).

Can't say much about the game as I've been on a media blackout and you have no idea how hard that is when you're a gaming journalist ;(. Said I won't get a review copy, but I already pre-ordered this, I really hope it doesn't disappoint.
It's important to clarify that this was at launch (2014-10-14), and it was fixed about two months later (2014-12-10) - at least for NVIDIA GPUs. AMD still seems to have problems with id Tech 5 games.I'm glad to hear that, the original Evli Within was such a dumpster fire on pc.
At launch the game had performance issues where it was poorly threaded and GPU usage was very low. I had an i5-2500K, a GTX 970, and a 1080p60 display at the time, and the game would drop to about 40 FPS with GPU usage below 50% and CPU usage of about 40%.it weirdly ran completely fine on my dusty old machine even then.
Since the polling speed for the stats is low there, and even then it hits 95% GPU usage, I suspect the issue is that you have the settings turned up too high for that system.Only older CPU's, the game seems to have issue doing a proper 60fps (framepacing issues or whatever). The only way to remedy it was to have a program that hooked into the exe like FRAPS running at the same time. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oU4TRi2KvQ0

man i liked the first game well enough but still only spent 40 hours on it, according to steam lol
Mostly just playing through once, then replaying the chapters I really liked and showing the beginning to friends
I didn't think there was even that much to do in the game (unless that counts the DLC too, which I did not play)
The PS4 TEW1 barely ran at 30 and looked kinda like shit. (I own it)
The PS4-Xbox1 TEW1 left much to be desired from a technical standpoint. Besides, it was the 1st game of small and newly-formed dev studio called Tango Gameworks.
Now, let's skip to the present for the forthcoming TEW2. If they're able to give anything beyond 1080p combined with well-paced 60fps on both PS4Pro and Xbox One X, then that's
a huge leap forward and a success story for the small studio called Tango Gameworks.
It's gonna be wait and see.
That doesn't make a lot of sense, since Afterburner is hooked into it for the video.Not my video, but I've read people still having the issue with higher end systems and/or dropping the settings. Using something like FRAPS would always fix it for some reason.

Just looks like the GPU is hitting 100% and dropping frames, but the polling rate is set too low to catch it.

After the game was patched, CPU usage was much higher, with the GPU able to be fully-utilized.
That system has my old GTX 570 in it now, and it can still run the game around 55-60 FPS if I drop the resolution to 720p - which is smooth if I lock it to 50Hz.
It even scales well to modern systems, with all 16 threads being well utilized on my Ryzen system.

That's the first time I see a thread like this. Some OT 0.5?
Pumped for the game though!

Any news on the PC requirements yet?
Nope. Stay tuned.

I'm so stoked i might actually cancel my cdkeys preorder and pay full price through steam to support the devs. Did the same thing with Dishonored: death of the outsider
Wouldn't a single 1080 be sufficient anyway?
Don't worry, I played the game on a single 1080 with a i7 and I easily got 90+fps on max settings at 1440p.
Lol you really don't need that to run this game. Just enough to pass the bumpy parts early on, after it runs like a dream on even mid range pcs
It was those fog and rain effects that made it run like shit
