When does it come to ps5?

 

[Punished Miku]

$25 for some skins and art / OST is pretty weak. That's like a $10 upgrade at best. They would have to be some crazy good skins.

Yeah, there's no expansion included either, which made the Starfield upgrade a much easier choice.

The required specs don't seem that bad actually

I'm guessing that's for non-RT stuff, the game has both Lumen and Nanite per DF's last look, that's probably gonna be higher tier of requirements, right?

PC Gamepass requires a Potato as min.

 

[_Idea_of_Evil_]

Those premium skins look basic.

Hey, the ol 3080 can still deliver the punches if necessary

[Magic Carpet]

I'm curious when they will upgrade the Min specs.
It's going to limit the games on PC Gamepass.

Look at all those Xbox..es?

Also, is this the first Non-ABK-published game to release on Battle.net?

 

[rodrigolfp]

Almost confirms the 30fps on XBox.

 

[Luipadre]

5 days early access... the game is like what? 20-25 hour long? EA people gonna be over it by official release. Im in a RPG mood so definitely gonna check it out on game pass. Also that green guy giving me concord PTSD lol

 

[Black_Stride]

Arc A580...........this will run on anything.

 

[squidilix]

Battle.net... ? wat?

 

[Superposition]

Really excited for this. I'd like to see XSX graphics preferences too.

 

[BigLee74]

Stalker/FS2024 this month, Indy next month, Avowed in Feb, Atomfall in March…?

Finally seeing a nice cadence to these releases!

 

[BosmerCulter]

This game looks so beautiful on some shots then so ugly on others...

 

[Punished Miku]

Sniper Elite January also. Not the biggest release ever but it still counts. The last few were a good time.

Great shout. I just played through Sniper Elite 2 remastered recently and absolutely loved it.

 

[Gamer_By_Proxy]

Not sure I have an Xbox though. Can someone help?

 

[Loomy]

Arc A580...........this will run on anything.

Watch it be a stuttering mess.

 

[adamsapple]

Almost confirms the 30fps on XBox.

?

Don't the modest requirements actually bode better for the console to have a 60fps mode?

 

[AtomicStarving]

 

[Loomy]

The screen you typed this comment on? That's an Xbox.

 

[//DEVIL//]

Not sure I wanna download it from game pass and they are asking me to buy the premium edition ? lol ok

 

[Loomy]

?

Yeah with those minimum specs, if this thing can't hit 60fps on Xbox, we might as well pack up our things and go home.

The last time they talked about it it was cagey, the guy said they're aiming for 30 but that he (the guy they were interviewing) wasn't the right person to ask that kind of a tech question.

Hoping the extra time affords them the option to add an unlocked / 60fps mode to console.

 

[rodrigolfp]

?

Is 5700/1070 as minimum (everything on lowest graphics settings, possible 720p, 30fps, at best 1080p/60fps) modest?? Hellblade 2 has exactly the same requirements.

 

[kevboard]

Arc A580...........this will run on anything.

the 580 is roughly in 3060 territory isn't it?

• Avowed Premium Edition Steelbook

[Heisenberg007]

So are you guys gonna play it on the Xbox or the Xbox?

 

[adamsapple]

The Xbox, of course.

 

[Mister Wolf]

When does it come to ps5?

Right after Starfield.

 

[SF Kosmo]

When does it come to ps5?

Based on the min specs, PS4 might be on the table.

 

[Aguero9320]

Looking forward to this - will do my usual play anywhere PC and Xbox combo. Game Pass on a roll into the new year... Not going to do the Premium Edition though, as there doesn't seem to be any DLC and I'm not paying to play early...

 

[Shake Your Rump]

I am hesitant about a game when the trailer is more about the pre-order bonuses than the actual game.

 

[Little Chicken]

I can't wait to finally play Microsoft's Avowed. Of course I will pay extra for 5 days early access

 

[Mister Wolf]

Looking good.

 

[adamsapple]

Looking good.

Yep.

Some new official shots.

 

[amigastar]

Yep.

Some new official shots.

Nice, can't wait. I'm actually really excited for this one. I loved Pillars Of Eternity.

 

[KyoZz]

Crazy how sometimes I'm like "that looks quite good" and then I see a few horrendous screenshot.

But I'm in need of a good old RPG ala Mass Effect so maybe this can fil the void, finger crossed the story is good. Don't disappoint Obsidian, I have faith in you! Also give me Dishonored 3

 

[Evil Calvin]

When does it come to ps5?

Quit port begging.

It's a new IP.....won't come to PS5

 

[tmlDan]

Quit port begging.

It's a new IP.....won't come to PS5

Phil basically said no red lines, its def coming

Either way im playing this on PC

 

[TBiddy]

Still on the fence regarding this game. I like Obsidian in general, but there's something about the gameplay here that seems... janky, in some way.

 

[CliffBronger]

I'll wait for reviews before even thinking about picking this one up, the previews looked so mid and their last effort The Outer Worlds i thought was garbage.

 

[Caffeine]

Surprised to see it on bnet

 

[adamsapple]

Surprised to see it on bnet

If I'm not mistaken, this is the first 'third party' (i-e non ABK) game on the service.

Very weird that they chose Bnet and not Epic's store.

 

[dreamstation]

Looks like it's a no go for me. Only have a 1070 which is supposedly good for minimum settings but I suspect it won't run too well at all. Hopefully they look at bringing it to PS5 (Pro) down the track.
