Surprise surprise - Reviewer who loved the original release (4.5/5) now gives it 10/10 on PS5.
Couldn't have been the mid game I played.
PS5 Pro accounts for maybe 15% of the PS5 user base? (according to US sales for 2025). It's like posting a video using the RTX4090 / RTX5080 / RTX5090 and then telling everyone, look how good it looks & runs. Of course it's gonna do well on the BEST hardware for the platform. Let's see how it does on the "regular" hardware...
@ocelot07,
You have to consider if a PC gamer is willing to pay full price for a "new" PC game that's been out on PlayStation for at _least_ 12 months (usually longer). If you've already waited that long, you will wait another 6 months and get it on sale.
And this is why cinematic trailers with no gameplay absolutely SUCK!
IF what @shadowhaxor and @XBManiac say is true, this won't help much.
Windows needs an option at BOOT to go into "GAME" mode, which then doesn't load alll the extra Windows sh*t that 99% of people don't need or want. Just a bare-bones framework that will run games, with network access.
I would be more than happy to reboot my machine into GAME mode each time I wanted to play a game, and then back into "Windows" mode to use ...
I have a pretty decent laptop - RTX4080 GPU, i9-13900HX CPU, 32GB RAM and games are on a 2TB SSD (7000MB/s), but this game REALLY struggles. I have tried FG on/off, DLSS, XeSS, FSR but can't get a stable frame rate no matter what I do. I've limited it to 60FPS in game (I have a 240hz monitor!) but still the frame rates are like a roller-coaster, which really spoils the experience. And this is running with the graphics settings at MEDIUM, with Ray Tracing at the minimum setting - Not...
I feel like there are LOT of people commentng here wearing Gear Goggles. I've just played the intro, having never playing the game before, and thought it was very mid. Something about the controls/camera feels very dated which shouldn't happen with a remake.
I call BULLSH!T.
Yeah, I'd rather make a game that hardly _anyone_ buys...
I'm not a fan of the Fallout games, but this one has "peaked" my attention.
(Lake District? Mountain peak?). Ah ... Fuhgeddaboudit!
NEWS FLASH: Rig with best GPU & best CPU gets great results!
Playstation and PC then ;-)
This definitely looks slower (less frantic!) than the other two games.
To me, it plays a lot more like GoW, plus guns.
Depends what you prefer ...
Making a "d-ling" sound when you assassinate?
I just finished and 100%'d the game and REALLY enjoyed it, but the PC optimisation was awful. Framerate was a rollercoaster every few seconds, from teens to 80s. Tried tweaking SO many settings to correct this, which definitely spoiled the experience.
Immortals of Aveum already has framegen on the PS5
The reality is, it's not worth Rockstar's time and/or effort as for THEM, there's very little $ to be made.
R* are ALL about the money, so they'll invest everything into GTA 6, then work on milking that online cow, then dangle a RDR3 bone in 3 or 4 years time.
Which is why I rarely buy digital
Main point is that MS won't let game developers have different game features for the X & S. They have to be the SAME game, just scaled in terms of fidelity and resolution. Having to cater for the lowest common denominator will ALWAYS hold back what a game *could* do.
I played it on the PS5 in 40fps mode and it was pretty decent. Looked great, gameplay was a little but clunky at time, and fairly repetitive, but there's a large map to explore, LOADS of things to do, and you're a gun-toting, kung-fu'ing racoon !!
Accept the game for what it is, and you'll have a good time like I did.
Can't speak for how it was at launch, but the game I played was a 7.5/10
I agree with @CrimsonIdol
I played the game to completed, but it's version of NG+ simply didn't appeal to me, so I never went back to it.
There's base-building, but it really serves no point, other than, there's base building. If you're into that, you have it, but I didn't touch it at all, as it wasn't part of the story ... At all.
The main character models are "ok", but the NPCs are just bad.
And I...
