I don't understand the hype for this. Looks like a 7/10 game, if it released during PS360 era.

Just read XboxEra's first draft of their 10/10 review. Pretty articulate and well paced , they have a few months to go for a second or third draft , looking promising.

You know, I've never seen the Avatar movie.
Why ps360 era?

Best feed of the game released so far.

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
Looks fine, hopefully the writing is the better Obsidian echelon closer to New Vegas.

It really doesn't. Come on now.That opening sequence looks like a PS3 game running on the Switch
Even if it's 4K

It does, the texture of the rocks, wood and the lighting is off

Agreed see my post above . But saying its ps3 level textures and geometry running on a switch is hyperbole.

Well running on a switch may be too much but the texture are PS3 level
It looks off like how Halo Infinite was when revealed but in 4k

I think Ghost of Tsushima's 4k60 on ps5 spoiled me. I don't get how the Series X and Ps5 couldn't do 60fps with Avowed. I don't mind the art style but first person view at 30fps sometimes gives me headaches.

lol i remember that, how on earth did they think tht was good to show?Well running on a switch may be too much but the texture are PS3 level

I think its something to do with the lighting in this game, like i said early everything looks way off. They have a fair bit of time to sort it out but I doubt it will change much.

Best footage. Looks great.
There's areas where it looks uneven. The blue guy is goofy looking. A lot of the godlike are too. But all the environments look detailed and interesting. Around 12:30 you can see a small stream and the water flowing animation looks great. Reflections on the water are cool. Spell effects look a little improved.
Small stuff can still be touched up. There's no real flame effect when you burn the spider web. Some sound effects seem quiet. UI can be slightly prettied up.
All the core stuff looks fun finally. Hope they keep polishing before February. Its never going to look like a peak graphics contender in all areas but it looks more than good enough to be fun. Some cool lighting around 20:45. Some parts really look great. Other parts aren't fully there yet.

I think I get where he's coming from. It's not visuals perse, just the 'game-feel'. (Mechanics, systems, game-logic simulation)
But i'd argue most, if not all AA and AAA games still feel like PS360 games for the most part, just with higher poly's, advanced rendering techniques and Quality-of-life refinements.

I will skip all the dialogues to explore the levels and kill monsters.
It's an RPG. It stands and falls based on its story, quests and mechanics. At least the quest here seemed to have several possible outcomes depending on whether you found the expedition, returned or kept the artifact and sided with the Oracle or not.

is it just me or does the color scheme of this game just smell like another concord and dustborn situation?
whats up with all these games using purple and green and blue in ways dont make any sense for these types of games.
the new dragon age is one of them too.
that blue guy in the video just looks so wrong. and then that ugly background

Exactly. Were the graphics and combat outstanding in their previous games? Nope. They were fun because if the world building and story. I for one look forward to real time combat over the turn based combat from before.

It would look like an isometric cRPG
and be called PoE III and it would have more chance in the tip of its finger to be more significant to gaming than 95% of the TRIPHUL AYS out there.
The artwork for PoE was super well made
And we now get in 3D basically what we used to have as static backdrops
And ends up looking like this and beyond with PC & ray tracing.
So peoples not understanding why peoples are hyped for Avowed must be trolling at this point or just not even trying to understand where this dev comes from nor the implication of recreating the world of Eora in 3D.

Its crazy that Obsidian devs can look at this footage and go: "yeah, not overcrowded with information at all. Ship it"
The HUD is customizable and you can disable almost all of the things there if you want.
They probably have everything enabled for floor demo purposes.

PoE has always used lots of color.

Tag, you're it.
I'm a fan of Obsidian and while I totally agree, I can't help but think that the game looks off graphics wise as others have said. I'm not going to judge the gameplay at this point because I can't stand seeing someone play a first person game with a controller, it always looks slow and boring (see Doom Eternal's trailers before release for example) so I reserve judgement. What I can say is the UI is way too cluttered.It would look like an isometric cRPG

Now those gif are looking promising, might just be the compression helping but still. Wait and see I guess, in Obsidian we trust and I will try this with Gamepass anyway!

Looks like a fun 30 bucks game. Actually this looks completely Gamepass.

Good news that was the worse element of the presentation .The HUD is customizable and you can disable almost all of the things there if you want.

The art direction isn't for me and the decision to create a first person RPG in 2024 is fucking baffling. Good to hear Matt Mercer putting in work though.

I bought a sex doll, but I keep it inflated 100% of the time and use it like a regular wife
Could be kinda cool, although there seems to be something wrong with the lighting? Everything looks flat.
Also glad to read that UI is customizable, default settings make for a lot of clutter.

Why? I think it's more immersive that way.

This looks a little dry.
Good thing you can play through the whole game in third person

I'd be interested to see how it looks and plays in third person. I'm afraid it's going to suck since they haven't shown it in that perspective. Similar to Skyrim.

Not as baffling as your comment.

God I hate this art style. Everyone that bitched about "gritty" artstyle during the 360/ps3 era can go fuck themselves. I'd take that brown and grey shit over this any day of the week.

I think it looks pretty fuckin stellar.
