Support NeoGAF

[near]

Now that this has a release date, I'll pay it more attention. It looks pretty epic.

 

[CuteFaceJay]

holding off PC upgrades till this is out so I know what will be required for it. Looks insane each time they show new stuff.

 

[TheThreadsThatBindUs]

Sleeper hit of 2026, this game is gonna be.

I can't fookin wait for this one!

 

[Signalis]

Proprietary engine, Black Space

Nice! This went from no buy to buy for me. Thanks for the info

 

[GermanZepp]

the steampunk/mecha stuff going on was a surprice in the medieval/magic/fantasy setting. Interesting. ALSO: Fuck you capcom and your half backed DD2. Not going to buy another game full price never again.

[Pejo]

Hell yea, super excited to play this game. Glad we have a release date.

 

[Jigsaah]

I'm skeptical given the atrocity Black Desert's "story" is. I also would like to know more about the character progression. Is there an ability to choose different classes or fighting styles?

This will be a wait for other folks to buy it before I do kinda situation most likely for me.

 

[Walliwallipaloo]

I'm in. Hell, there's nothing else of substance anyway. It helps, though, that this game looks bonkers enough to be fun.

 

[R6Rider]

I love me some juggling in between games. Body is ready.

So you take a break from game A, do some juggling, and then play game B?

I don't expect it to be polished or cerebral at all, but the sheer spectacle is pulling me in. This like a Michael Bay fantasy game.

Mm... Whilst the Michael Bay comparison is obvious to see from trailers such as this, I hope it doesn't get lost amongst the more subtle moments that will be inherent within the game. Remember this is a title where you can also cook, mine, craft, herd, solve puzzles, etc. And the bespoke engine from Pearl Abyss allows for some cool experimentation.

Ice arrows turn into blocks of ice when connecting with water...


The "spectacle" of this game is palpable, yes. I just hope when it finally releases that the "living world" that the developers promise, sits well alongside the more obvious bells & whistles (and pyrotechnics) that are clear to see.

 

[N30RYU]

I'm waiting for the downgrade...

 

[blue velvet]

I thought this was running on Unreal, had to google what engine they're using. Thankfully, it is not. Finally, an interesting looking game not running ueslop. I wholeheartedly support devs who still develop their own proprietary engine and not relying on Unreal to speed up development just to see the consumer suffer from horrible performance and other fuckery.

Day before SAROS, damn….

It's sponsored by AMD

Terrible IQ for everyone incoming unless you can brutforce the game.

 

[Gabe ♥]

IF you are interested in the engine.

Look this video. Starts at min 30:00.

This looks like it could be a good showcase as a PC game, but I'm currently unsure as to how good the actual full game will be, particularly on console. I'm really intrigued to see some reviews nearer release.

 

[owandeseis]

Looks really good, if it gets praised by some youtubers/reviewers i trust and it's cheap enough in some key site i might get it.

AMD should just stop sponsoring games. Have any of their sponsored games featured good tech? It's almost invariably trash.

Indeed this is a big red flag to me. And no, I can't think of a single game sponsored by AMD that looked & performed well. Maybe Space Marine II but that's it.
It's crazy to look at this list and realize that some of the worst gaming performances come from games sponsored by AMD. WTF are they doing?

The game will support DLSS4, so image quality concerns are unwarranted. At least on PC.

That's for image reconstruction. I'm more worried about the RT aspect and how much noise there is. AMD is know to have shitty tools.
Wait and see I guess, but DF in the video posted earlier did say it was very noisy.

PS5 pre-order exclusive items, the Grotevant Plate Set (Helm, Armor, Cloak, Gloves, Boots)

Wtf is this joke ?
Who the fuck in marketing decided that shit ?
Why the middle finger to PC ?

I know some people will say "it's just a skin whatever", i don't agree.
This is pure bs.

I don't think this is new in the industry. Plenty of console based exclusive pre-order items have happened before. Though I'm with ya it's kind of shitty.

I Remember Soul Calibur 2. Guest characters were initially locked behind a specific Console. Link was exclusive to the GameCube and Spawn was for Xbox.

what a game.

Be glad Pearl Abyss said no to PS Exclusivity and only did this instead lol (Sony wanted this as an exclusive for 6 months)
