It was outsourced to the same developers behind the awful Outer Worlds Switch port, and Batman: Return to Arkham. Of course the port was going to have massive issues. That said, Sony should have gotten Gureilla to do the port, or outsourced it to a porting house that actually is somewhat competent like Nixxes instead. Here's hoping they come and fix the mess that they made, similar to what SEGA had to do after a literally who porting house screwed up the Catherine Classic port.

He stopped posting on Ree after his nasty side came out and he went after NXGamer (who's a nice bloke) in a PC elitist nerd rage. Was banned or warned now doesn't post much there

Same question I have. DS is phenomenal on PC!

This is an amazing feat to be honest. Being able to port a game where Ultra and High changes nothing and AF not working should be rewarded with future jobs.

Because Death Stranding was developed to have a PC version from its inception.
Horizon wasn't imo, and it's a comparatively old PS4 game that needed a lot more work to run well on PC as a result.

The port is not that virtuous, apparently.

I just saw the video, ¨disappointing port'' is a huge exageration, the game works fine, runs great, but the guy had like 1 bug with setting the resolution.

First post I’ve read where people aren’t whining about bias. Thank you

Try watching with your eyes and listening with your ears next time.
- 40, 70 and even 100ms stutters making it virtually impossible to have a steady frame-pacing
- Ultra settings barely look better than PS4 Pro but cut performance by half
- Facial animations locked to 30fps
- Broken V-Sync
- Non-functioning native AF
- Overly aggressive dynamic resolution scaling that drops the 4K of a 2080 Ti running at 55fps to 1080p
- Abysmal performance on some cards. The 1060 in Alex's analysis performed around the level of a base PS4 at times
You also missed out how the new foliage movement is just warping that's locked at 30fps too.

My god the performance on this port are atrocious... A 2080ti can't even sustain 1440p60 ultra, fucking lol... Thank god for neon abyss keeping me occupied... This Russian site has it hitting a low of 64fps and an average of 77fps at 1440p/Ultra...
I can't help it if their team came into some snags with the graphics features.
Was it 6GB or 3GB 1060?

I never said that because I have never seen HFW gameplay and neither have you. This is the same company we are talking about here.

he admited that his pci settings where off. That fixed a lot. The game runs fine, it has some stutters but saying its a disappointing port is kinda disingenuous knowing that most people will never try the settings he is trying.
The way he compares the clouds settings is so dumb, thats whats called optimization. If you want to 800x zoom things to see a difference and then complain about minor differences but huge impact on performance, thats exactly what optimization is.
Facial animations locked @ 30 is expected for a port that wasnt designed from the ground up to run at higer frame rates, many ports do this.
Most of the others things are a patch away.

Bullshit he didn't. The PCIe bandwidth problem was an issue he had with his RTX 2080 Ti dropping frames and being underutilized for no reason. Performance after swapping out the card to a different slot was still shit. Just not as shit and the 1060 didn't have that problem.
The rest is you being dishonest as fuck and excusing a shit port.
Didn't specify but I would assume 6GB.

Except apparently the port isn't done by Guerrilla.
WTF is a "shit port"?
Is it running 30 fps as original? - yes.
It's not running 60-120-144fps? Tough luck, why time and money needs to be invested in making it run at higher fps? Cry somewhere else.

The settings they did on the PS4 aren't considered optimized because the graphics features are less than. They just turned down expensive features to get it to run at their target res and FPS.

How about you get lost with your trolling? There is a 22 minutes video outlining a myriad of problems and your idiotic post is just "muh fps".
Don't waste my time.

That's not fun. It would be better if you, as a developer, concurred with my analysis instead of feeding the trolls.

I would wait for a patch, they are aware of the stutter issue atleast.

Someone pointed out an interesting aspect where AMD cards' hair physics are different than nVidia's, which is somehow correct. With the AMD ones, it moves like a single unit where with nVidia cards, it's much more smooth, life-like and has more movement/flow which might be causing serious FPS issues if the same thing applies to every fur/hair etc. Can be seen at 19:14.

PlayStation remains the place to be for PlayStation games. They make their games specifically around their hardware, much like Nintendo. It's a big reason their games are always far ahead of the competition, even when running on similar or even lesser hardware.
It was a good experiment, but let's just keep PS first-party games solely on PS4/PS5.

No. Even with the issues it still plays and looks better. We just play on PC so our standards are higher.

Core i5 8400 and RX 5700 getting 60 fps at 1440p and PS4 Pro-level graphic presets doesn't sound too bad.
Does anyone know if the frame rate can go higher than 60?

So the reviews that are out are basically dont reflect the actual port everyone will receive tomorrow. Amazing work as always reviewers wouldn't expect anything less.

[DF] Horizon Zero Dawn PC: An Amazing Game Gets A Disappointing Port
After a stunning debut in Death Stranding, the Decima Engine is back - this time with a port of Guerrilla Games' stunning Horizon Zero Dawn. The game itself is stunning, but the conversion work here has many bugs, issues and problems. Alex Battaglia reviews the game, based on the Day One patch...
