do not tempt fate do not contrain Wonder Woman's thighs do not do not
Not gonna lie....they got me intrigued.
The Maw transcending both realms was legit terrifying and im slightly disappointed ive spoiled that for myself.
Some of Troy Bakers best work.....im sure he had a blast playing a character so vastly different than what he usually plays.
Off Topic-ish
There are parts of this game that actually look good and then other sections that look like mid lastgen content.
The Real world in this clip had some really bad lighting(stylistically) and whatever volumetric effects they were using needed a shit ton of help everything looks way way too hazy and is actually killing all the lighting and material work.
You can easily see that when she gets in the elevator or the outdoor section, the materials actually arent bad, the haze is just killing them.
This looks like a game that could have really benefited from Ray-Traced Global Illumination or atleast Ray-Traced Indirect Diffuse Lighting, that could work even when both worlds are displayed at once.
<----- Doesnt know how their renderer works
But they are "only" using Reflections, Ray-Traced Ambient Occlusion, Hybrid translucent, and Ray-Traced Shadows.
Reshade + SSRTGI day one till I can get this game to look as good as possible.
McFly just updated RTGI and it looks incredible.

Ages ago, they said that you dont have to do the split screen thing if you dont want, you could just switch fullscreen between worlds. Dont know if thats still right though.

Xbox Series X Timed Exclusive The Medium Takes About 8–10 Hours to Complete - EssentiallySports
In a recent interview, Jack Zeiba, producer for the upcoming title The Medium revealed how long it takes to complete the game.

It's the same situation as Blair Witch. They are not allowed to talk about PlayStation yet, but it will be up to the publisher after the timed period is up. Which basically means it almost certainly IS coming to PS5 at a later date.
I was going to wait for the PS5 release, but since this is coming to GamePass day one, I'll play it there.
That second link is a bit dated as Scarlet Nexus is already up for preorder on PSN.

Yeah, that's what I recall as well, but I wasnt aware it was a choice between split screen or full screen when it came to switching between worlds.
Hopefully that is indeed an option still.
Would of liked for them to show it off though, so maybe next gameplay reveal?

why does kena look like a last gen game? why does deathloop look like a last gen game? why does ghostwire look like a last gen game? why does returnal look like a last gen game?

That choppiness is weird, but than again all Blooper games have problems with performance, which is not an excuse, but something like >OBSERVER_ is legendary game. Now can be played on current-gen at 60FPS, with ray-tracid on PS5... For around 25USD

I don't know, maybe because these games are heavily stylized and Medium isn't? Returnal actually looks quite decent.

Control looks better than returnal,rdr2 looks better than returnal, God of war looks better than returnal, Gears 5 looks better than returnal. Returnal is supposed to be a next gen game. Why does it look last gen?
You get it now? See how you sound?

Jesus. Why so tense? Still don't get your point. I never said that Returnal looks next-gen.
The Medium - not a next-gen looking game judging by that 14 minute trailer. How do I sound? Reasonable.
Relax.

By body type do you mean C cup breasts instead of DDD? What sort or variation are you after?

It would be cool if on PC you could play on 2 screens instead of having 1 divided in the middle.

I don't know, go and ask in Returnal thread. If there is one, I doubt many people care about that game.

JJJ, come on now. No but I want all variations there is. Different height, tall, short, different bust size, hips, thighs, belly, butt, muscles, fat, skinny etc etc etc. Once covid is over, go out on the street a sunny day and you’ll see what gaming does wrong, or just check Instagram or whatever. Gaming is incredibly boring right now for lead characters. And this goes for male characters as well. I was so disappointed to see the character creator in Cyberpunk. You can swap between three different dick sizes and circumcised or not. But you can only choose one single body type. And what type is that? Another Nathan Drake of course.
But Cyberpunk at least show NPCs in all shapes and sizes so it’s not all bad.

looks boring to me. The graphics don't seem to be next gen either. I don't see anything that looks like it couldn't be run on Xbox one X.

Yeah it does not look next gen, I think it's more about the memory of different scenes and stuff like that, would not be surprised if it requires streaming from SSD or something like that. I could be wrong, but from IQ standpoint it looks worse than something like Layers of Fear 2. So I don't know, but than again this is not fully priced game and possibly with small dev team, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

“Has silent Hill vibes but no combat. I’ll pass.”
Have you people ever played the combat in Silent Hill? It’s shit. It’s like Blooper Team realized that and removed the worst part of the Silent Hill series but kept the cool atmosphere and other stuff. It seems like Silent Hill but without the shitty parts.

For gamepass title its good.
Full price? Never.
I dont think the ssd is hard at work here or at all.
Camera angles are fixed.
Cut scenes run paralel but with very little detail as well you see 2 different angles.
Dual world cuts away most of the time and you are down to run only one screen.
Granted 14 minutes is nothing to judge by but still, this is another sign next gen, either ps5 or seriesx is not ready.
Worst console launch in a long time for both.
Sure its nice to get the new toy but i am more and more at peace for not getting one seeing the titles coming out the next few months.

I mean, it's never full price, I believe. If we consider 60bucks as full price. It's 50USD. I mean small drop for sure, however not much games coming out at launch for this price. I was more like refering to RAM as a memory and since new consoles have more than previous generation, render completely different scenes even at 50% of screen could be tough for resource management. Sure it could be just PR, but it seems like those guys would be happier to drop this thing on bigger audience, because going by this thread alone, not everyone is interested in this type of game.
Me going from PC, well it's quite a bit time ago, I don't mind, those toys are relatively cheap and offer better performance, that is worth it for me.

The nicest person on this forum
having combat in survival horror games like Silent Hill it means sooner or later you have to confront those nightmarish monsters, which in my opinion makes the game much more scary and intense.
Without combat it just means your default choice is just run away and hide and to me thats not exciting or scary.

Which part? The timed-exclusivity deal? That's not a guess.
Coming to PS5? Ok, sure that's a guess. But a guess with around a 99.9% odds of happening.

Finishing up Blair Witch 6.5/10, this game will get 1 point up in my review book for tech performance alone and it looks like a better game already atmosphere wise. It's not Silent Hills production value but any respected horror fan should experience it from the looks of it.

Is there a reason to think this will be amazing? I looked up Bloober Team and haven't played any of their games, but at a surface level their pedigree doesn't seem remarkable in any way.

Love the atmoshpere
Annoying it's yet another Walking Sim from Blooper but their attempt at "combat" was terrible in Blair Witch so eh.

This is from the developers them selves, not some blog sites. Its not 1st party so of course it could always come later but right now its not a timed exclusive. Blooper Team is one of the studios rumored to be getting aquired by Microsoft along with Asobo.
Why did you decide to make The Medium an Xbox Series console exclusive at launch? Can you divulge the length of the exclusivity window period and once that's finished, do you have plans for other platforms?
It was an outcome from our relationship with Microsoft, the hardware we needed to bring our vision to life, and also how our development process aligned with Microsoft's plans for its new generation of consoles. The bottom line is that we’re really excited to be launching The Medium as one of the first Xbox Series X|S titles.

The game is coming to Xbox and PC in January, and we’re not currently concentrating on any other platforms.

You can play in the real world and the spirit world at the same time, cool idea, but it's not for me, it kind ofdistracts me and detaches me from my idea of horror where I have to be immersed in a "single reality". RE7 like horror games or Outlast or the Evil within is what I'm looking for.

Yup. ”we’re not currently concentrating” says it all, they’re just not ready to talk about this yet.
