" reviews aren't written by gamers, but they are written by whiners and people looking for clicks.."
Or, maybe a few unfortunately missed the sprint option. No, that can't be right. Reviewers are all clickbaiting, whining, evil sadists.
Besides, it's always nice to have that, because when a game you like comes out and reviewers give it less than 8/10, hey, it just means they are 'whining', 'clickbaiting', 'bashing'....
I'm just concerned about that 'have to stop and watch the show for 20 minutes' in between ? Is that actually true btw ? Is it an essential part of the story ?
Can someone confirm if this is actually the case ?because if it is then it's risky...
Still, this is Remedy, and if it works out it could be mindblowing. Their story telling in Max Payne (aka Sam Lake) and Alan Wake was brilliant
@green
Thank God that didn't happen. Would hate to see that franchise become an exclusive. lol
@Godmars290
"What does it really add but improved particle effects? Frees up assets for other things like graphics, but does not improve graphics overall."
Whaaa ?
100% destruction of incredibly complex structures with amazing detail and persistence. That is not just 'particle effects'. Every one of those pieces is physical and real within the game world.
Agree with the rest of your points though.
Sure, at the same time there are a lot of unnecessary 'consoles are holding PC back' comments. Yes, it is annoying to see that.
Still -
1. Most of steam user's don't play graphically intensive games to begin with. We're talking about Dota 2, Team Fortress , CS. Most of the people who are actually into 'hardcore' PC gaming will be gaming at 1080p.
2. The fact is, games like The Witcher 3 and WatchDogs were downgraded because...
Can we just not have cars that explode when you touch them ? xD
Driving into another car should not cause it to instantaneously explode... oh well, I hope that was just in that demo, perhaps it will change :P
Why do you have to watch it for 20 minutes though ? After playing Alan Wake, I can't help but feel that it's so uncharacteristic of Remedy to do something like this. In Alan Wake, it was all part of the gameplay.
Now I'm genuinely worried. The fact is, having to sit down and watch 20 minutes of a show in between is... it's RISKY ! It could work well, but it may end up being hated by many people.
Well, it is Remedy, so I still think it should...
The Order got slammed for being short ?"Short" was never the main criticism. Or "no multiplayer" for instance. That's what all the PS4 fanboys were saying "Reviewers just slam it because it's linear and has no multiplayer", conveniently ignoring most of the major criticism in reviews.
Now, I kind of know what you mean. Just remember however, that a lot of that came from XBONE fanboys and pre release articles - not from official reviews. E...
Sorry, what ? Why are you all being so ignorant ?
He wrote one article before the demo. One after.
Is it that hard to understand ? If you disagree, then state why, and move on
Nevermind, I shouldn't waste my time.
As for the 20 minute TV episodes, that does worry me greatly. HOWEVER, this is Remedy, and every game I've played of theirs was amazing.
@Neixus
Well, I'm sorry then, but you're comment came off as a flamebait comment.
'Lack of textures' Personally, if the cloud destruction thing worked on launch, I wouldn't care about textures. They're good enough, and there are screenspace reflections.
"But i'm not seeing how it would work if each multiplayer session uses 8+ servers, without crashing."
It won't use 8+ servers. Hardly ever wi...
Sad to see PS4 fanboys shitting on crackdown on this article. Really guys ? On a scale of 1 to 100, War Thunder's destruction is about 1. The Crackdown tech demo was about 100. That's not hyperbole, that's probably pretty accurate, in terms of complexity and scale put together.
Maybe you just haven't watched the video in the article, and just want to shit on an XBONE exclusive anyway ? Maybe you just haven't seen the Crackdown 3 tech demo ?
...
@MrKrispy
Don't bother. Even though there is literally no comparison between the destruction in the two games, fanboys will come in here to shit on Crackdown 3.
It's just fanboy mentality. Most of them wouldn't have watched the War Thunder destruction video in the first place. It's just the same old retarded console flamewar at work - they just can't resist.
And, seriously, if anyone shits on Crackdown 3's destruction...
I really don't understand, are you guys serious ? Why are you bringing Crackdown 3 into this ?
Did you watch the Crackdown 3 demo ? Did you even bother to watch this article's video in the first place ? Are you all blind or something ? The destruction in Crackdown 3 is literally about 10 times more complex and is applied on a scale about a 100 times bigger.
Seriously, it's great that this game has destruction, but why do I get the feeling it'...
"how can they do that without the cloud "
yeah, that's nowhere close to what Crackdown 3 is doing The destruction is just wayyy more complex, as are the buildings themselves. Seriously, you just cannot compare the two.
Not to mention that game does it with multiple city skyrises, that are what ? 30 stories tall ? Each and every room being a real physical place within.
I don't understand, Crackdowns destruction is orders of magnitude higher...
Uncharted 4 handily beat everything I think xD
Next is Quantum Break for me. I saw some incredible lighting and reflections details that reminded me of what I saw in The Order 1886.
Then Horizon Zero Dawn for me. Unfair to compare to top two because it's open world. It didn't have the lighting and reflection fidelity that you'll I saw Uncharted 4 and QB. but it's open world, so how do you even compare
One more game that ble...
Atmosphere goes out the window when you drive into a car and it instantaneously bursts into flames and flips and tumbles.
Sorry, but even Just Cause 2 doesn't do that.
A few bullets, or one shot from a sawn off shotgun will, again, cause a car to instantly explode. Again, Just Cause 2 doesn't do that.
I just can't take it seriously because of that. That's the one thing in the gameplay video which put me off completely xD
Well, I'll just say one thing, and this is something that really put me off when I saw gameplay. Cars that just explode for no reason. Drive into another car ? It bursts into flames, ofcourse, and flips around.
That is just plain stupid. I swear I cannot take anything seriously as long as they have anything like that in the game. Seriously, even JUST CAUSE 2 doesn't do that ! When you drive into another car that has a driver, there's no explosion. EVEN FREAKING J...
If there is one thing I'm jealous of, it's the destruction in Crackdown. That stuff is legit.
As for MGS5 on PC, it's going to look significantly better on PC. Thankfully for us, they're actually trying to make a good port with extra graphics options and everything. Sure we'll get it later, but totally worth it.
lol, don't worry, no one is going to be able to spin this negatively without looking like an idiot.
This is freaking incredible. Period.
I just really hope they work on character animations and give a sense of weight and so on... That would enhance the perceived scale of the world and the destruction.
The footage they showed off in 2015 was PS4. I don't understand how people expect them to make it look as good as some monster PC demo in 2013, before the consoles even came out.
They're not downgrading it, they're getting it to run on consoles.
Literally the only place that the word 'downgrade' makes sense is on PC, because that's where you have a range of hardware, and OPTIONS for some people to push graphics further.
