This game has the weirdest art direction.

 

[Gonzito]

Could be interesting

 

[DeepEnigma]

This game has the weirdest art direction.

Almost like it was made by AI.

 

[Generic]

It's almost like a 3d Contra.

 

[Arsic]

Thought this was remnant 3 for a sec.

Looks aight.

 

[DeafTourette]

Also coming to Switch 2!

 

[Jinzo Prime]

Kind of like a budget Returnal, but more melee focused. I hope it has a centered camera view as an option.

 

[drotahorror]

Looks cool. Definitely Returnal vibes. Kind of surprised not many people on board here? Hell, MS opened their show with this game.

Looks promising though

Godfall dev lol.

Will keep an eye on it.

set in the demon-infested ruins of Paris.

So, Paris in 2035.

Looks pretty neat, I'll definitely give it a try.

All hail game pass, baby!

Looks pretty neat, I'll definitely give it a try.

Demo is out:

Played a few runs until I beat the demo boss. One of these games where you just can´t stop.

(turn post processing to low in the options, otherwise you get extreme motion blur)

(turn post processing to low in the options, otherwise you get extreme motion blur)

You weren't exaggerating.


There is a setting in the options menu for motion blur on/off but it does nothing.
At this point I'm inclined to just add this to every single Unreal Engine 4/5 game.

[SystemSettings]
r.SceneColorFringe.Max=0
r.SceneColorFringeQuality=0
r.Tonemapper.Quality=1 (or 0)
r.Tonemapper.GrainQuantization=0
r.MotionBlurQuality=0

First two are for getting rid of chromatic aberration, third line is tied to vignette and some other effects, the last two are obvious.
Usullay adding that to the .ini found in the corresponding AppData/Local folder works. For this game is GameUserSettings.ini found in C:\Users\*whateverusername*\AppData\Local\Aperion\Saved\Config\Windows

 

[Dr. Samuel Hayden]

Is there just no vibration for controller on PC?

 

[Men_in_Boxes]

It's almost like a 3d Contra.

The best Contras are in 3D

 

[dorkimoe]
