It almost seems too good to be true, but if reviews tell me the game is good, then I'll get it. All the footage I've seen over the past six months has looked great and got me really excited, but there is always a fear with these overly ambitious titles, that they may not fully deliver in the end. Looks great on the technical side, I hope console versions will look good as well.

My main question and concern at this point: is it any fun to play?

I just want to see footage of the game on the PS5 PRO using PISSER 2.0.
I'm extremely thirsty for a new game.

Native 4K60 Ultra Settings with RT near locked framerate on a 7900XTX?
And theres a settings beyond Ultra????
Mate!?!?!?!?!
Bring back bespoke engines!
We eating good.
Glad to know/guess Ill be able to easily clock this with DLSS B Preset M at 4K.
Looks absolutely stunning.
If it delivers all the promises they are claiming...........This might be my GOTY already pretty early in the year.
We eating good PC bros.......we eating good.

They said FSR. Probably FSR4.

native 4k with FSR as Antialiasing
The witcher was great because of the writing, not the tech or world. I think this is going to play better than the witcher, but I cant see the narrative or moment to moment writing matching up.
Lot of people are overhyping themselves with this one and they'll end up disappointed and picking out flaws.

oh right
It's a RDNA3 card

Not that int8 FSR4 is impossible.

I understand your point but I dont fully agree with it
I think Witcher 3 in particular has very especial vibes, art design, very unique and atmospheric. The world in Witcher 3 felt very alive and interesting to explore. It was fun to be inside the world even though I always hated the combat
That's the type of comparison that I am making in this case

It's going to be much better, at least for my tastes as I favor exploration and combat instead of scenario/branching dialogues. But the cutscenes are still going to be much better than TW3, as we have already seen.

Represent(ative) of bad opinions
This is probably the most impressive game of the gen. The fact that its some random studio with zero pedigree is amazing. These guys built their own engine and made an extremely ambitious game. While countless, well known studios have yet to put out a single fucking thing. This will be on every single GOTY list.

Well they made Black Desert Online so not zero pedigree

As random as Blizzard. For comparison, this is like going from World of Warcraft to Elder Scrolls, if they were developed by the same studio. Still, it's a massive leap but they have the tools, know-how and money to execute it.
I hope this encourages other devs to forget some arcaic formulas like the leveling up grind or the check list missions as main quest design.

Looks great! Hope it runs just as well, might serve as lesson for other devs.
They put all they resources into Crimson Desert, but with the game already done they are back at working on that one.btw. wasn't it also Pearl Abyss that developed DokeV?
what happened to that game?
one trailer and then it just vanished lol.

They put that game in the backburner and went full steam ahead on Crimson Desert.. But they have said when CD is out they will work on DokeV

Dokev looks insane too. Like a mix of Pokemon and Astrobot. However, I'd bet that game will be GaaS because I can't see anyone other than Nintendo selling millions with that kind of game.
kevboard
Member
also given how good Crimson Desert looks, DokeV seems more realistic now.
back when it was shown, many people thought the entire thing was a completely fake game because it looked too good and was too dynamic and open.
maybe they're using Crimson Desert as a proof that they can do stuff like this
First INT8 FSR4 is extremely slow on RDNA3 cards specially at 4k. Second, do you really think they are going to send footage to DF using a leaked model?
kevboard
Member
the official announcement called it an "Open world, creature collecting, action adventure"
seemingly either single player or limited MP.
so, could be GaaS free, but who knows if plans have changed since its announcement

No. What makes you think that?? Just said it's possible.

would be kind of a flex lol.
"look, it's not only 4k native, but we also waste GPU resources on FSR4 just for the LULz"

UE5 has not had a massive open world with high graphic fidelity yet and likely not until they change the foundation of the engine for CDPR's Witcher 4
What a disappointment, gen will be done and it might have 1 open world under its belt.

Looking at bullshots on PSN, looks like reconstruction method is used. Which one, remained to be seen. Typically grainy artifacts ( grass, fur...).

They haven't show the game in consoles yet. Those captures are most probably from a old PC build

Maybe lol. They sure seem like a very ambitious studio, and if they really pull this one out I could see Dokev being another fantastic game.maybe they're using Crimson Desert as a proof that they can do stuff like this
But yeah lets wait and see how this one turns out.

Looks like a CryEngine moment tbh, just way better optimized for current hardware.
Really looking forward to CPU&GPU benchmarks and how scalable this thing is. I wonder if I'll be able to push for the cinematic settings with DLSS at 1440p ultra wide with my 4070ti super.

What impresses me the most is the optimisation. This isn't UE5, where the performance is so spotty that it ruins a lot of the experience. This isn't a linear cinematic game, where the experience is so hemmed in that they can fake everything. This is an open world with real time GI and RT reflections, with terrific animation and interaction systems, on an absolutely massive scale. And it runs - apparently - extremely well. Very impressive!

I'm almost there. I will still wait for my usual reviewers to cover it. ACG, Skillup, GManLives, etc. If they praise it, then this might be my first full price purchase in about........ 3 years? maybe
What is encouraging is Pearl Abyss's "show, don't tell" approach. I remember their very first trailer. It was 5 minutes long and just straightup gameplay footage. No voiceover, no pre-rendered bullshit, just dropped 5 minutes of gameplay. Even left in thr framerate drops and janky animation. It screamed confidence.
