Looks .... underwhelming. Low resolution, many artifacts, aliasing ... next unreal engine on console debacle incoming?

 

[GymWolf]

Do we even know what genre is this? Boss rush or classic action rpg?

At least maybe they are using PS screens and not bullshots from PC. Anyway, my body is ready for this game on Steam.

 

[Portugeezer]

There is no way this game won't flop.

At least we're sure it comes from China.
If someone can make sense of the translation please DM me

edit :
Game seemed nice, now look shit, believe your eyes or suck my dick.

 

[Sw0pDiller]

My ps5 pro is ready

No, developers are simply no longer capable of developing their games from scratch, so they resort to modular engines, which they do not master in their entirety and merely throw together features in order to be able to bruteforce a usable result with the appropriate hardware.
Just look at what was possible with in-house engines on the PS4/XboxOne when the developer knew what they were doing. TloU Part II and RDR2 looked and look fantastic from a technical point of view and run on a potato.
I blame the Unreal Engine 5 hype and all the journalists who hype every demo unconditionally to suggest that Unreal Engine 5 is a jack of all trades.
The engine is very powerful, but as I said, most studios no longer have any insight into the systems and don't manage to optimize accordingly.

 

[TheDarkPhantom]

'Abandoned' was up on the PlayStation Store too... I'm dubious about any Chinese "clones" but let's see what happens, I'll always give credit where and if it's due.

Looks fine to me .
I guess because I don't game on pc ,which is a good thing .

Flop by what metric?

 

[clarky]

There is no way this game won't flop.

Its been floating around the top of the wishlisted on Steam since forever.

All it has to do is review even remotely well and it will do gangbusters, what are you talking about?

agreed. this game will be the showcase of the 5090 series me thinks. because it look like a joke on ps5 if these pics anything to go by. especially coming from the playstation store too.

i mean wtf is this even 720p ? can't see any details from this low resolution

 

[Zuzu]

I hope we get a demo

I don't think technical teams at studios/publishers rely on media hype to choose an engine. The biggest determining factor when choosing Unreal Engine over spending time and money on building/upgrading/maintaining an inhouse engine is cost. With development budgets going up, you make savings where you can.

 

[Punished Miku]

Zero chance I buy any soulslike without a demo.

 

[Insane Metal]

This is ue5 right? Let's see it running at 900p...

 

[Ribi]

"Explore a land of vast wonders"

I'm 95% sure it's a broken off map with a hub. Preview vids have shown that after defeating a boss you can "leave the area"

I'm talking critically.

Sure, but at what price?
We've seen some half-baked and underperforming games in UE5 on consoles by now. I wonder whether there shouldn't be a rethink soon and whether resources could be used more sensibly. This sledgehammer method of taking the supposedly easy route, seeing that the game doesn't perform, then letting the marketing budget go through the roof and then canceling people when sales don't materialize can't be the future.

The most sensible solution is training people up or hiring people who are more experienced to train current staff.

UE5 engine will be utilized next 10 years, this generation of consoles are simply not powerful enough to showcase it.
I will wait reviews to see if it is worth getting it on PS5 also demo will be a good addition.

 

[skit_data]

Still a bit on the fence wether this will be a good game or a total trainwreck

 

[Northeastmonk]

It has a lot of potential and the premise hits harder due to the recent passing of Akira Toriyama. But then again so was Enslaved: Odyssey to the West.

 

[Moses85]

We need the PS5 Pro

Luckily there will be a console for you, it's called PS5 Pro.

As for the leaked specs I don't think ps5 pro will be enough, more like a PC is what this game needs.

For resolution it should be enough.

Souls-like.

This and the engine itself needs to mature as well. Who knows which version of UE5 this is made on, at some point in production you don't upgrade to newer versions anymore, because shit tends to break..

 

[Svejk]

If a soulslike game with a gender confused pinocchio be successful, this can be too.

 

[Salz01]

I want to see this running on consoles before I preorder anything….

 

[Loomy]

Okay there, Don Mattrick lol

 

[demigod]

Vaporware

 

[AJUMP23]

Not a myth then.

 

[Kaachan]

Mmm… This is one of those games I’m not sure if it’ll be a success or not. It looked special when it was announced but I feel like that uniqueness is kind of lost

My worry is that it’s gonna run and look a bit dated by now but I hope I’m wrong

 

[Gideon]

My most anticipated game this year (so far) loved everything I've seen and heard from people who went to gamescom

Edit: how do people say this look dated? To me it looks more visually next gen than any other game I've seen beside gta6 & maybe cyberpunk.

On a powerful computer - yes
On a PS5 - according to the official pictures from the shop - no

 

[LectureMaster]

There was a closed door demo session held last year and the reception was hot as fuck. Very few testers were able to beat the tiger boss in the two-hour demo time.



I'm not worried about the game's quality at all but share the same concerns that it would run bad on consoles.

On console defently does..the xbox series S and its pulling the series X with it down the rabbithole

On PS5 Pro?

 

[Pelta88]

 

[Fabieter]

I wonder if people who live in fear of tiktok will still buy this game . Anyway I can't wait.

 

[mayham2199]

There is no way this game won't flop.

I just assumed it was never coming out. So it's already accomplished more than I thought it would.

 

[Insane Metal]

On PS5 Pro?

No. Maybe 1440p on the pro

 

[Gideon]

 

[mckmas8808]

No. Maybe 1440p on the pro

Awesome for me!

 

[mckmas8808]

This looks NICE!
