mfnick Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 I was going to leave it since I’ve got it pre-ordered already but supposedly there’s a “surprise” for beating it? So interested what that is? May be some extra content for the full game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maf Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 Looking like good news for performance based on the demo Quote - The Stellar Blade demo is released today on PS5 and features 3 graphic modes. - Performance mode applies a common 1440p resolution at a constant 60fps. - Balanced mode renders at a common 1440p resolution with a 4K output using TAAU. Its framerate suffers some drop, but maintains its performance at 60fps normally. - The resolution mode reaches 2160p in exchange for limiting the framerate to 30fps. - As for the graphic settings, there are no significant changes between modes beyond the anisotropic filtering and the LOD of some distant textures. - Shadow resolution, drawing distance, ambient occlusion or post-processing (among others) remain the same. - The possibility of turn off the chromatic aberration effect, which (on a personal level) is exaggerated, is missing. - As a recommendation, I would choose the performance or balanced mode. Given its nature, 30fps is not an option for a game as frenetic as Stellar Blade and its resolution difference is not that significant. 1440p. What all current games should be trying to achieve imo A bit intimidated playing a character game like this. I've got so bad at games over the past few years, especially fast ones, I'm just so old and slow, I hope I like it because it looks cool 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DANGERMAN Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 I don't like it. I mean, I'm pretty early in to the demo, but I don't like the camera positioning, I don't think there's enough feedback on getting hit, and the worst sin it could have, the controls feel really laggy. You don't attack instantly after pressing a button, nor do you block, and given that so much of the game seems to focus on parrying that really drags it down. I could see it being one of those games where it doesn't control right for 10 hours, then you build the character up enough that it plays like it "should", but it's not for me, and it's not the Neir em up people seemed to be expecting. It's got the same unflinching enemies as a Souls game, unfortunately Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyKurosaki Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 Just finished the demo, I personally loved it. It’s absolutely gorgeous, and I’m not talking about Eve’s backside. The combat feels satisfying to me, took a while to suss out the parry/dodging mechanic, but think I’ve got the hang of it now. Yeah, I’m so looking forward to the full game now. If it’s anything like the demo, this is going to be fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
one-armed dwarf Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 Watching footage online, I'm actually surprised at it looking a lot cleaner than its terrible trailers would have indicated That said, these battle cries are annoying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maf Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 The game has been out for 6 minutes and there’s already no damage runs The game looks hard. I hope I like it. I don’t usually play demos but maybe I should give this a go first Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
