It's so campy and big budget and ridiculous. I love it. EA's Blockbuster Narrative Single Player Era continues to impress. I mean, that TV show intro?
Runs great on a 4090 with a 5800x3d. I decided to ignore the low shadow warnings and just cranked everything. It does seem like the texture resolution is low on objects close up.

This budget thing is really nice tho, don't know the accuracy but still better than pure guessing If done decently
These settings at the bottom are probably shitting on my 13900k, you can see the benchmark score at the top for CPU/GPU, 4090 is easily handling the game but 13900k isn't?

Can anyone confirm, which Resolution PS5 is running with FSR 2 on?
If it's 1080p than on High Settings than RTX 3060 Ti is giving above 60 fps with DLSS on.

This is how I imagine a game made by super advanced AI would turn out. It looks good technically but it gives me a feeling like it has no soul.

That’s honestly doing a disservice to Ghostwire Tokyo, which had a very distinct visual style, stylish level design and remarkable monster design, whereas this game has none.

Ah. So, the whole gpu and cpu budgeting is bullshit? Just crank up all the settings. Man. That is obnoxious.

I actually think it looks fun.
People here want every new game to "push medium forward", to reinvent the wheel, to set new milestones.
Damn they should take a break and allow themselves to enjoy things without thinking about that.

Totally.
But you know, dopamine hits and all that.
It's like being addicted to porn and look into different categories once the current one doesnt satisfy you anymore.
People should chill instead of seeking something new for the rest of their lives.

So, is this magic-DOOM? Because I want it to be from what little I’m seeing, gameplay wise.

So let me get this straight.
I am shooting something thats not what i would call bullets, i am having trouble seeing what i am shooting at because of all the particle effects and… oh yeah i am talking to an orb.
Yeah ok, that is something that i do now.
I do magic, listen to cringe dialogue, ill probably refund next.

Kinda weird that AF makes my CPU a bottleneck?? i don't know
it's why they all have health bars now, so you can shoot at the health bar cause fuck seeing anything (this also helps when all you can see is numbers lol).

Honestly, people should stop watching Digital Foundry so much and instead spend some time on optimising their PC builds. The game runs perfectly fine for me, idk what everyone is talking about.

Reviews have started dropping as a few hours ago.
I'm making a review thread since I don't see one up yet.

The spell animations and the way the main moved his hands around was stylish and the city looked really nice, and gliding around sometimes felt cool, but I found it incredibly monotonous and I thought the story was boring. It was just another Ubi styled checkbox game released among an ocean of Ubi checkbox games. It did nothing remarkable or anything to really standout from the rest imo. Sad that it came from Tango of all devs.
This looks like the same type of thing to me. Color coded attacks are all I need for that base comparison lol.
And phew those scores. Gettin Ghostwire vibes again. 8s and 5s
Ill probably still get it. Fuckin dead out there in terms of new releases and I love it when scores are all over the place.

UE5 is showing itself to be way too heavy for these consoles unfortunately; especially if the game is running at 60fps. Developers will have to stick to 30fps to get decent image quality.

Maybe let's wait until better studios have dig into it. This is Ascendant Studios's first game.

Unfortunately thats like 80% of the forum dude. You just need to recognize the handful that actually play stuff and ignore the ones who spend the hobby counting pixels and jerking off to DF vids.
Ill give some honest thoughts later today

Yeah. It seems like DLSS in mandatory for this one. It is on by default.

Visual design can only carry you so far, though. Ghostwire was repetitive, stiff, and boring. This game is actually fun to play.
Besides, Immortals also has a really nice art direction, the environments in particular look gorgeous.

Playing it on PC. It's a looker alright, but all that goodness comes at a severe performance cost. Bit buggy at the moment but not too bad.
Acting is good although a bit cringe and the plot seems interesting.
Combat is great so far with a RPG style leveling, crafting, and looting system.
Seems like a decent 7 or 8 out of 10 game.

What the hell settings are these on PC?
- Mesh Pool Size (low, high, ultra)
- Shadow Rendering Pool Size (low, high, ultra)
- Render Target Pool Size (has a slider 0 to 1000)
I think they were all the lowest by default. Do I want to mess with those? I have a 4090 so I guess I'll crank it. Just not even sure what these are, never seen them.

I played it for about 6-7 hours yesterday. It's a really fun game. The story is a bit of a hit or miss, particularly when it comes to pacing and overall execution of certain scenes, but the setting is pretty fresh and unique and the typical "hero's journey" template makes it easily relatable. I'm engaged by it so far, although it seems like there's a very obvious plot twist coming and you can just smell it from a mile away, lol.
The trailers made the gameplay look like it's Doom with magic but after playing it for a while I would say that it's a completely different thing. The combat seems to be all about the distance between you and the enemy and the color of magic that you use, so unlike Doom where you juggled between weapons depending on which enemy you fought, here you will switch between 3 available spell types depending on how far away are you from the enemy, and occasionally they will have a buff that has to be broken with a specific spell type or special attack. There's also a pretty huge emphasis on Metroidvania-style exploration where you can revisit previous areas to unlock paths and secrets that were previously unavailable. There are also some RPG-lite elements such as dialogue options, collecting and upgrading gear, skill trees, etc. A more apt comparison to something more recent would probably be High on Life, although with much more fun combat and less repetition.
Overall, this definitely scratches that itch for a straightforward action game that would've probably made a much bigger splash during the seventh generation. Not to imply that it's antiquated or anything, but games like that are such a rarity these days and I appreciate the chance to play something like this before we're smothered with a bunch of ginormous open-world games later this year.

Even Fort Solis needs DLSS with 4090 @ 4k

From the videos I've seen on Youtube and reading posts on Steam it seems like the PS5 & Series X hold 60fps pretty well. The image quality is very blurry though so it looks like they're reconstructing an image from a sub-1080p native resolution. The Series S looks shockingly blurry.
It should be an entertaining Digital Foundry video

The game is pretty cool so far. Main is like a young Drake-ish type. Facial animation is really good, reminds me of Ninja Theory back in the day. Seeing the mo cap for Enslaved and being like “woah who are these guys?” Same feels here since the devs are new in the neighborhood. The visuals are sorta soft but it’s running fine on the 5 and I really dig the world design. It’s quite refreshing being in an unknown world of a new IP. Glad I went in blind. The Metroid-y stuff was a great surprise. Really liking the music too.
Drizzlehell
pretty much nailed it all already. It doesn’t feel like Doom. And it doesn’t feel like Ghostwire either.
That Bulletstorm esque leash to pull guys to you for a point blank shotgun hand blast hasn’t gotten old yet and I doubt it will

Somehow this game looks very uninspired!
Like someone gave me his credit card told me "Make me a High production game".
I ask, "What kind of game do you want?"
.... and he says, "I don't know... A Game! Pew pew.. magic.... the gamy stuff!..."
It feels like it doesn't carry a single person's ideas or dreams. It's nothing but production values.

It seems that I was wrong about the Series X holding 60fps well. According to this video the frame rate starts to become very variable in action packed scenes after the initial opening:
Here’s an example of the frame rate from the video on Series X & S:
Also these screenshots are zoomed in I believe but look at how blurry the image is on the Series S:

That map menu looks so out of place, it's like from a completely different game.
I agree withKiteGr , the game looks uninspired.
Its just a fucking map screen lol Does it show you how to get from point A to B? Yes? Then whats the problem? The retardation with the unnecessary ruthlessness knows no bounds here.
At least it isnt a fucking nightmare to process like the Jedi games lol

I hate that this writing trend has taken over. It's not funny and it's not how any real entity would talk., whether human or otherwise.
