LOVE the Beta on PC. So smooth and so pretty. But I made a twitter poll and 91% of my friends are gonna play it on PS4. 😩
Plus I don't have a mic for PC. 😥

What to do?

Squads seem pretty important so I'd personally go where your friends go, unless you don't mind playing with strangers.

Getting pretty bad performance on SLI 980's and a 4790k @ 4.7ghz.

Anyone know what settings are the framerate killers?
Click to expand...

Vsync is set to be bugged. SLI performance is also being worked on, so it's not optimal compared to 1 card.

That said, on a GTX 980 Ti / i7 5820k at 3440x1440 with high settings, I was hitting 50-60 fps, mostly 55-60 in firefights.

Yeah don't know how to feel about DZ combat. Three different times already by three different people I have been RPG'd at extraction points. You don't even have a chance to react or fight back. So watch out for that I guess.

Where? The lighting is as flat as roadkill. If there is GI it must be a very, very primitive and basic implementation that harms the game more than it helps.

Indoor scenes now use static lighting which doesn't bounce colour onto other surfaces the way GI would.

Unless your talking about a day and night cycle, which isn't Global Illumination. Global illumination is used to correctly bounce light across surfaces in a realistic way instead of the light just hitting the surface in a flat way which this game does.

I don't know mate.

Exactly, even with the flat lighting the game looks stunning, just annoyed that they showed a more advanced lighting system literally 90 seconds before starting the game.

Uh I know what GI is.
But the lighting is not really flat, it's just very grounded with little to no exaggeration and as such looks quite dull.

There are RPGs in the game? :O

I dont think this is true... at least it might not have been implemented in the Alpha or Beta.

It's absolutely true, we've seen it in official gameplay tons of times.

Any way to see if anything is wrong with my PS4? I just died now because Loading appeared on the bottom right of the screen and it forced me out of sprint to a walk....

While being chased by rogues.

So I preorder the game on amazon, and redeem the code on the beta website for PS4. They said they will email it to me when it is ready. How long has that taken for people?

Apparently the Xbox One version looks better and is more detailed than PS4?

I wonder if it's related to the sharpness slider and the chromatic abberation toggle... PS4 looking kinda blurry there :(
Click to expand...

This is true, because I have the PS4 version and it looks shitty cartoony. Pre order cancelled.

there are better safer zones to extract from, dont go where a ton of people are. the best one me and a friend found is a extraction at a rooftop. no one ever came to bother us but we still had our guard up. only down side is lvl 7-8 enemies might spawn and you in for a fight

This game looks awesome (both on pc and PS4) and I *love* the gameplay.
I enjoyed a lot ghost recon future soldier and I really loved the cover, movements and shooting mechanics, so TD is a no brain for me.

I just really hope that this game will hold after 40/50h. Right now is really fun and I love the setting.

Right now we are just a bit unsure if we will go with PS4 or PC version (PC for the graphics, PS4 for the PvP).

Pretty suspenseful when you pick up a nice item and have to risk extraction to get it out. Basically if there is more than one person there keep your eyes on whichever one doesn't run to the extraction rope/doesn't have loot already.

I am really enjoying the Beta. Definitely picking up the full game. The Dark Zone is a really interesting experiment. I hope to find some people to play with. I get the feeling lone wolfing it is a recipe for disaster.

Just spend an hour looking for any evidence of GI or indirect lighting. It's not in.

There are extremely bright white lights shining on to blue/red/yellow objects and walls without any light bounce. And any light in the surrounding area is still, white.

Played both on PC maxed at 1440p. And on PS4.

(Have the XBO beta as well but haven't got around to it yet).

Based Massive on the PC version so smooth so much options. And the game still looks great i love the details and atmosphere the use of great lightning everywhere also the soundtrack has that synthwave influence.

Wish they left in the melee. Feels like there should be some form of punching or take downs. Saw numerous people in the street getting robbed or whatever, ran to help them and all i could do is the default gun hit. Felt weird having them just stop and pause then run. Cant describe it just feels weird.

Darkzone is really the best looking part of the game. The rest looks also really good but there is something about the darkzone with lighting thats makes it stand out.

The fact the DZ is the only remotely challenging area to play in and is plagued by ganking is why I won't buy this game.
Click to expand...

It's the beta set in the lowest level areas of the game in an RPG that goes up to lvl 30.
The areas not being challenging is like, by design.

I get the vibe this game will be a very shallow experience like Destiny after playing that. I enjoyed it for a few hours to get the feel of it, and will wait for reviews. But no way is this a day one for me.

Every game that has a "cooperative" pvp zone always ends in KOS. Nothing new, beta isn't to blame.
