It's almost as if people like good single player story driven games more than live service slop
Amplitude still holds up brilliantly
Adding a "We don't support Connor McGregor and he will be removed in all future games" disclaimer would be just as beneficial as removing him.
I'm with VenomUK. Games are just as big as Hollywood movies. The budgets and revenue often exceed Hollywood. If Connor McGregor went on a killing spree, murdered women and children, then killed the president and enslaved the entire country (except myself, who he lets chill and play video games), i still wouldn't...
Haha i knew I'd get chewed out for saying "literally zero".
It's an exaggeration lol my overall point is that single player linear story FPS games are a n extreme rarity this gen. No Killzone, Resistance, Wolfenstein, Bulletstorm, Medal of Honor, MAG, Turok, etc. Nothing smaller budget like Bodycount, Timeshift, Syndicate, Call of Juarez etc either.
I was gonna be stoked for Indiana Jones either way, but being first person just makes me even more ...
You guys are acting like it's still the PS3/PS4 era where we get a stream of big budget single player story based FPS games, when in reality we get literally zero (save for CoD, I guess)
Also since I'm here: Tech4Gamers is the absolute worst thing that constantly gets posted on N4G
Aye yeah my bad there. Screwed up the dev names. Asobo has 250 staff
Rip
Yeah they should definitely let people download it all locally. They're actively avoiding the market of people who have 2.5 PB (2500TB) of storage space to dedicate to one game
Pretty lame "review". Team Asobi are a small team of around 60 people who are absolutely pushing boundaries in tech from the rats in A Plague Tale to the insanely ambitious streaming tech of Flight Sim. When you're launching a massive web-based game full of so much streaming tech, it should be expected that there will be tech issues day 1.
This should have been rolled out in stages to alleviate server strain, but to disregard the game like this because of that...
Idk man. I'm with you, but Astro Bot only selling 1.5 million copies while creative stuff like Lego Horizon had a Steam player count of just 72 worldwide at a point today. I think young people these days legitimately want their games to last either 150+ hours, or be endless. There is absolutely nothing I want less than to be stuck playing one game for that long. Just this past 2 weeks i beat Spiderman 2, Binary Domain, GoldenEye Reloaded (not great) and been playing a ton of Warhawk in RP...
I mean, GeForce Now is infinitely better than this, though.
The streaming quality, the lag, the 240fps options and the fact that you're playing games on an RTX 4080 machine (Cyberpunk path tracing!) makes the comparison a bit nuts. GamePass also comes with *way* more games than the handful of PS5 games this supports (Why the heck cant you stream PS3/PS4 games or games you've purchased???)
Look, i love Sony, but as far as streaming goes they're by far th...
Honestly though, how did this (a) not launch with this, and (b) take so unbelievably long to come?
It's like they have one intern supporting this thing on his lunch breaks.
Remedy doesn't really make mistakes. It'll be good, I'm sure.
You're not paying for a rental, jwill. You're thinking of any other streaming service.
GeForce Now connects directly to your Steam, Epic, Blizzard etc accounts and let's you play the games you bought on those stores, but streaming remotely from a PC with a 4080.
The 20 bucks per month can't possibly let you stream 24/7 365 days per year. That would be an absurd business for NVidia.
GeForce Now actually has a completely free tier that lets you play for an hour. There's no time limit between sessions either, so you can just immediately boot back into the game every hour.
NVidia is hardly money-starved. This had to have been a big enough financial loss that they decided to take the L.
You do kind of need limits on streaming, though. You're temporarily renting a PC to play your games on and using pretty massive amounts of data. You cant really just leave that run 24/7
Not saying NVidia made the right move here by attacking literally all of the top GeForce Now users, but they definitely made an absurdly generous move by *not* having limits prior to this. Anyway, this is just another reason why streaming can never be the future for games. GeForce Now is...
@badz:
yea. It's got an i9 and a 4060 in it.
With DLSS Ultra Performance, a low res and possibly even frame gen, I'm pretty confident I could run games at 8K. That's my point, we dont know what settings or native res the 8k/30 PS5 version is running at, therefor its hard to immediately be impressed at the idea of it's existence. If it looks like the launch version of Ark for Switch, but at 8K/30, is that still impressive?
I'd obviously ...
Bro she looks like she's 8
Probably not really. You'd be rendering at a native res less than 4K [say 1080p] to upscale to 8K to downscale to 4K.
It'd actually be an absurd use of resources when you can just render at a higher native res [say 1440p] and upscale to 4K for likely a massive boost to performance, and an identical looking game. Or better, on account of the native res bump
Downsampling is nice for AA but I question the benefits once machine learning upscale method...
Yeah. Er, well... not really.
I could get 8K on my laptop with DLSS, especially at 30fps.
I wouldn't though cause 8K TVs aren't real. Nobody owns one, and no companies even make them anymore other than one specific special order Samsung model (to my knowledge)
It's cool cause cause I love tech and im curious what it looks like, but I'm not particularly impressed till I get to see it. Could and likely does look worse than the 4K mode as far ...
Spiderman didn't have a season pass in the traditional sense. It was 3 story missions included in the Deluxe edition, but with the ability to purchase them all separately as a pass. They were multi-hour stories as well - It's not like Insomniac has been constantly building on Spiderman, collecting money monthly from players in exchange for monthly content drops.
Hell, all the skins they released were free for everybody and there have been a ton of them.
Why...
