Dayum! Good OT! Very curious about this game, especially how it will run on both consoles and PC.

 

[draliko]

I can't wait for the benchmarks since ue5 will be what we'll be stuck in the coming years

 

[balls of snow]

Contemplating getting this with the ea play discount and starfield premium gamepass upgrade.

 

[Punished Miku]

Looks like a big budget new IP. Looking forward to GP in 2024.

 

[Fart Knight]

Hope it turns out good.

 

[Stuart360]

Litchdom Battlemage 2, in more ways than one probably when it comes to performance.

 

[Krathoon]

I bought a copy on sale. I could not resist Gina Torres even though she is kind of chunky now.

 

[Porticus]

Bomba

 

[Kataploom]

It really calls my attention, a shame character design is too "american centric" whatever that means, but can get away with it at a discount. Hopefully optimizations are in the game by then

 

[Roberts]

Jak.

I don't think it looks bad at all, but, man, it is going to flop hard. Probably should have moved it to 2024.

[SJRB]

Amazing OT for a game I fear will crater hard. It has “overwhelmingly mediocre” written all over it.

Hoping for the best since it’s a new ip, but fearing the worst.

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

Seems some folks have already gotten their PS5 copies early in the mail lol.

 

[Fart Knight]

Dont cry for me Jak.

 

[winjer]

cormack12 put more effort into making this OT., than EA into making the game.

 

[mdkirby]

looks fun...pretty cringey main character...but decent looking supporting cast. Awful name for a game tho

 

[ahtlas7]

I’m not saying, even though it’s EA, it’ll be bad but, but they have given it a bad release date. Which can be used to shield themselves before investors about low sells numbers. Why would EA do that?

 

[Drizzlehell]

I'm really hoping for this to be good. Not only is it a brand new triple-A single-player FPS, but also a new IP. It's sad that this is such a rarity these days.

 

[pleaseinsertdisctwo]

I think this looks cool, I dig lore like this with lots of proper nouns, and the main character is hot.

I’m just curious as to why this game seems to have received not that much marketing.

 

[Slicker than your average]

Does look like another EA bomba. It's a shame but brand new big budget ips seem to have it rough sometimes.

 

[Drizzlehell]

I think this looks cool, I dig lore like this with lots of proper nouns, and the main character is hot.

I’m just curious as to why this game seems to have received not that much marketing.

Probably because EA couldn't find a way to sell FIFA points with this game.

 

[Chukhopops]

It looks really interesting but this is the worst possible time to launch a game like that.

Maybe in a year when it launches in EA Play I’ll give it a go.

 

[Braag]

A big budget SINGLE PLAYER game and a new IP to boot. Not something I was expecting from EA. Despite it looking kinda cool, it's coming out at a crowded time with not much marketing behind it.
Should've moved to early 2024.
Now if it flops, EA will yet again declare that SP games are dead, until the next Star Wars Jedi game sells gangbusters again.

 

[BloodOmenPT]

Really trying to like this game, but the more gameplay I see the more I think I'll wait for a big price drop. That gauntlet is huge, in normal "walking" it takes up almost the entire lower right quadrant of the screen, and when casting some spells both hands can take up over 50% of the screen, and with some added effects, I can't see a thing. Maybe it will be different when I'm playing it, but not going to risk 65 Euros to find out...

 

[tusharngf]

Thanks for making OT thread.. I am looking forward to playing this game.

 

[Spyxos]

When I look at the gameplay it could be fun as a vr game. Only the computers for it have not been released yet.

 

[mortal]

Appreciate the OT.

I sort of dig the look of this game, but also have some reservations about the gameplay and writing.
I'll probably get around to trying it out once it hits PS+

 

[lughnasadh123]

Not sure why people are so down on this game. First person magic action? Fuck yeah. A modern cinematic AAA Hexen?

 

[Fbh]

Cool OT!.
The gameplay seems like it could be fun, but I have zero hope for the story which also seems to be a big focus (main character is called Jak? lol)
Also given the PC specs I expect this to be another upscaled 720p 45fps game on Ps5

 

[hlm666]

Considering the title there is a complete lack of fisting going on in here, the good news is anyone who buys it will have EA's fist elbow deep where the sun don't shine.

 

[cormack12]

Full disclosure I nicked the steam graphic in the middle.

I kind of agree with most. The game actually looks interesting. But it's hitting at a bad time, I really think this would have done better pushed out to Feb. And then had the marketing around the UE5 features.

 

[M.W.]

I'll be playing this tomorrow night when it releases on EA Play Pro. My PC won't run it well but I at least want to see what sort of game it is.

 

[oji-san]

Cool OT, Thank you.
I'm happy to hear it's running at 60fps on consoles and looking forward to see some gameplay on consoles, tbh i quite like the look of this game but it's on category like games like Saints Row 2022 and Forspoken to me.. games that i will get much further down the line, i like the look of them but not quite sure i will enjoy the full package.

 

[Krathoon]

I skipped the Deluxe Edition. I think EA lets you upgrade to it.

 

[Del_X]

Might try EA pro just to see how it runs on my 12900KS/4090 rig

 

[Krathoon]

Well shit, the EA store has a sale on the game. You can get the deluxe edition for $62.

It looks like it does not let you upgrade, which is stupid.

Edit: I asked for a refund on my other game key since it was a pre-order.

 

[M.W.]

Some brief console gameplay. There are no video options (defaults to 60fps mode) and no FOV options. Performance at least looks solid.

 

[OverHeat]

Some brief console gameplay. There are no video options (defaults to 60fps mode) and no FOV options. Performance at least looks solid.

60 fps….what year is this.gif

 

[M.W.]

IQ isn't the greatest but the perf looks good. No idea when the review embargo is up, hopefully sometime tomorrow.

 

[Ywap]

If it doesn't stutter om pc i'm gonna try it on EA pro

 

[M.W.]

Live stream

 

[Tarnpanzer]

Some brief console gameplay. There are no video options (defaults to 60fps mode) and no FOV options. Performance at least looks solid.

Looks like it plays like shit with a controller.

 

[SJRB]

O man, that livestream is harsh. I can't believe how bland that gameplay looks. How does that even happen?

Visually the game has zero identity, it's all just a generic mess. The levels are generic brown/grey blobs you've seen 100000 times before.

 

[Krathoon]

What is up with that? I remember Quake being brown. It is a weird thing with games.

 

[Insane Metal]

Live stream

Such a heavy game and they can't even make ccharacter models to compete with Horizon or that Dead Space like game which I forgot the name lol. Oops, Callisto Protocol.

 

[TexMex]

Unless reviews are just a disaster I'm probably in. I know it'll be on sale in no time but looking for something to fill a void

 

[SABRE220]

Some brief console gameplay. There are no video options (defaults to 60fps mode) and no FOV options. Performance at least looks solid.

I hate to say it but this looks pretty bland and generic visually with pretty particle effects, the game play looks wonky but maybe its the player using a controller.

 

[Schmendrick]

If you order Quake 3 Arena on Wish

 

[Krathoon]

I don't know why they felt the need for face tattoos. Yeesh.
