one-armed dwarf Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 This game has really crept up out of nowhere into looking really interesting. Expecting something a bit messy and generic in some areas but all the fighting looks like it's coming together pretty well I get a real Dragon's Dogma vibe off the magic, which looks really creative. Looks like absolute bitrate hell though, with all the particle effects. Would really like if particle effects had their own low->high sliders. Def going to go for PC cause framerate drops in this would be hell so I need to be able to set those graphics lower and I don't trust the performance mods in PS5 for that.

DisturbedSwan Posted September 12, 2022 Author Share Posted September 12, 2022 I've flip-flopped on this game so many times, it's on my pre-order list at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maf Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 This game has always looked good to me. Right from the tech demo where she was running and jumping across the terrain. The movement has always been appealing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
one-armed dwarf Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 That's the stuff I'm not that into tbh, it looks very automatic and repetitive. Likely to get old fast. Being able to move around like that during actual fights would be cool tho, especially if there's enemy types that can keep up with you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

one-armed dwarf Posted November 3, 2022 Share Posted November 3, 2022 This game looks really cool but after bayonetta I'm going to need a low framerate and visual clutter detox 😵 Please bless us with a good pc port, gaming gods. Or at the very least a good ps5 version Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

one-armed dwarf Posted December 15, 2022 Share Posted December 15, 2022 DF talk about the demo I really enjoyed this demo, but technically speaking the image quality is terrible. Seems to be reconstructing the image from a too low base resolution Aside from that, I feel like maybe only one of 5 people who kinda dug what the game was doing action wise (which I won't get into here, already did in impressions), everywhere else I saw people had a miserable time playing it, even people who were previously excited so it's not purely a reactionary chud thing like some are saying. I wonder how it will end up on release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
one-armed dwarf Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 Here's some very brief recommended specs for the game, they don't say a lot (what setting are these at?). Caveat emptor Seems like all is set to fail for this game unless it absolutely shocks people with its review scores, even then some good word of mouth can come too late to turn a game's fortunes around (see Guardians of the Galaxy). I'll share how accurate that 1440p 30fps is for 3070 when I get it, cause I'm going to buy this game even if the reviews are bad. I liked the demo a lot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nag Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 I was very close to whacking a pre-order down on this last weekend and then figured why bother when Dead Space releases 2 days later... I'm pretty certain this'll drop in price pretty rapidly and when it does I'll probably bite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I liked the demo a lot those specs seem very high. a GTX 1060 not managing 1080p 60fps on the minimum settings sounds like horseshit. But I think the last game I said that about was Calisto Protocol and that was a bit of a mess iirc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
one-armed dwarf Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 I will say that if this game has the same game breaking stutter problems Callisto had (eg, it freezes every time there is a jump scare) then I will be on ps5 instead. Considering the growth the platform's had over the past couple years the massive regression in port quality on PC has been shocking. I dunno if the pandemic just fucked PC QA or something like that, maybe that is it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radiofloyd Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 Yeah I think I’ll be stick to console for AAA games for the foreseeable future, except for PC-only stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyKurosaki Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 I certainly wasn’t impressed with the demo. It just felt extremely meh, and I couldn’t be arsed to see it through to the end. I dunno. I’ll rent it. But am in no rush to do so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nag Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 Apparently loads of sites aren't receiving review copies before release... that's never really a good sign. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyKurosaki Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 Uhoh. Sounds like it’s the old “Don’t let the reviews say it’s shite, until the poor sods have bought it” routine. Never a good sign. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmmark Posted January 22, 2023 Share Posted January 22, 2023 This game looks great in ads. By Sony. You'd think it was an exclusive. Well it is, for 2 long years. That’s quite some time. I hope the devs success and wonder what improvements will have been made after those timed rights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DisturbedSwan Posted January 23, 2023 Author Share Posted January 23, 2023 Reviews should be out later today, I'm expecting somewhere around the 70s. Swimming in Sevens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
one-armed dwarf Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 https://opencritic.com/game/13945/forspoken/reviews Reviews are a bit mid, even with the limited code access Prey 2017 is my current hyperfixation so I'm not as sure about jumping in this week, tho still going to get around to it at some point. But would be nice to see how that PC version runs edit it appears to not be 'swimming in 7s' but rather drowning in '2s, 5s, and 8s'. DF talk about PS5, Alex said somewhere else that they don't have PC code Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
