Support NeoGAF

But...loking at the graphics it doesn't push much. This is more likely a case of devs not bothering with any optimising.

Lol people expecting optimization to help them. All the games "optomized" were made with engine for ps4 console .this is a true next gen engine. Time to move on from decade old engines

 

[Griffon]

Easy skip.

 

[Krathoon]

The PS5 version is probably going to be the optimized version.

 

[Valkyria]

ITT new PC gamers discover the truth about pc gaming.

 

[Gp1]

Calm down there devs. I've bought my 12400f just last year and im way behind the curve with the GPU.

 

[Fbh]

The PS5 version is probably going to be the optimized version.

Nah as a third party title and with those PC requirements even if it ends up running at 60fps it's probably going to be another one of these recent games that renders at like 720p and then unconvincingly upscales with FSR 1 or 2

 

[Black_Stride]

Calm down there devs. I've bought my 12400f just last year and im way behind the curve with the GPU.

12400 still a beyond decent CPU unless you are hunting for near to and above 120fps.
Just remove the power limits if you feel you are falling behind....if youve got a MAX motherboard you can BCLK overclock it too.



<- 12400 owner.

 

[adamsapple]

2080S MINIMUM

Now we're cooking.

 

[Black_Stride]

720p optimized.

 

[Leonidas]

Glad to see the high requirements, my PC is ready

 

[Shifty1897]

Deadass my 2070 Super can't even hit the minimum requirements?!

 

[Mattdaddy]

Im actually excited for this game simply because I dont know a single about it, except that I get it for free on Origin cause I bought the premium Origin membership back when I thought BF2042 was going to consume my life and never cancelled it.

Ive seen like 30 seconds of a gameplay preview and thats it. Looked pretty cool and Ill be going in otherwise completely blind, which rarely happens now a days. I feel like I usually know everything about a game before it ever releases, so this is kind of an exciting change.

 

[Hudo]

I still don't get how this got greenlit by EA but remasters of Tiberian Sun and/or Red Alert 2 apparently weren't.

 

[Spyxos]

He didn't really like it.

 

[JCK75]

A game that looks like it will have an extremely limited audience even more limited by tech requirements.. It should sell all of 10k copies

 

[Mister Wolf]

I'm glad it's demanding. If you can't keep up then get a console.

 

[simpatico]

So you're telling me my 1080 can't run it but a Series S can?

 

[WX3]

So glad I grabbed a new GPU last week, and still won't be able to play this game worth a shit.

 

[OverHeat]

4090 justified

 

[rodrigolfp]

So you're telling me my 1080 can't run it but a Series S can?

Series S will at 540p 15~29ps.

 

[ChiefDada]

Not my kind of game but visuals look like a mixed bag...

Going on a tangent - Insomniac/Nixxes hasn't confirmed PC specs for the Ratchet PC port yet?

 

[Slicker than your average]

Is the game even fun? Throwing magic in first person doesn't look like fun.

 

[cinnamonandgravy]

love that it's demanding, but it doesnt look fun.

 

[VN1X]

I love how Gaf keeps demanding AAA first person shooters but when they finally get one they hold up their noses lol.

Anyway I'm still keen on checking this out. I'm actually interested in a more straight forward shooter (with magic shenanigans).

 

[LiquidMetal14]

Makes me want a more quality piece like Ratchet more. And that's coming soon. A test for our PC overlord let us pray.

 

[hlm666]

That gameplay trailer has some of the worst reconstruction artifacts I've seen, look at the fence on the airship thing. Then later on he is doing some blue magic and the effects above the hand are ghosting and fizzing. There's probably more but I couldn't make it through the trailer.

 

[01011001]

most likely TSR.

I wonder if this will support DLSS, or if it's another AMD sponsored game lol

 

[M.W.]

Preach. Always up for more demanding game.

 

[Lucifers Beard]

I'm glad it's demanding. If you can't keep up then get a console.

Why though? This doesn't even look good. Gameplay also looks fucking boring too.

 

[01011001]

I'm glad it's demanding. If you can't keep up then get a console.

demanding is only a good thing if a game pushes technology forward.
so far this looks like bloat rather than impressive use of UE5 is the reason it's demanding.

 

[Macattk15]

Looks pretty but also looks bland as fuck. Reminds me of that GoW like game that came out around PS5 release.

Godfall. Could see that was gonna be garbage from the jump too.

 

[March Climber]

Is the game even fun? Throwing magic in first person doesn't look like fun.

It worked for Elder Scrolls

 

[baphomet]

Eh, I'll be fine.

Let's see more games with the 2080S as min spec.

 

[nkarafo]

Wow, this game looks like garbage.

I'm not even exaggerating, it looks like one of the worst games i have seen.

Don't even care what is doing under the hood.

 

[8BiTw0LF]

Looks like an early 2000's low budget fantasy film. Edgy protagonist. Reeks of bad decisions and poor choices.

 

[YeulEmeralda]

I play videogames not hardware. A game isn't good just because it pushes your system- although I suspect some PC gamers consider games to be tech demos for the real game: building a PC.

 

[Darchaos]

I only have a i711700k and 3070 so i wont be able to play it, but i do agree that developers should always push graphics as much as possible!

 

[Black_Stride]

I still don't get how this got greenlit by EA but remasters of Tiberian Sun and/or Red Alert 2 apparently weren't.

Its EA Originals not EA Games.

EAO is EAs indie publishing branch, the projects they publish are very different to the ones that get developed by EA Studios.

It also helps that Ascendant Studios is staffed by a bunch of EA games veterans, they likely had someones ear at EA Originals who was willing to see the project.

So that's the real reason, then. I guess Louis Castle and Brett Sperry aren't really all buddy-buddy with people at EA. But Jim Vessella is a producer there and he kinda boxed the C&C Remasters through and were successful (according to him). So I believe he tried to make remasters of the next games as well but probably had troubles procuring the source code for the engine. And now he's helping Respawn producing the Star Wars RTS (or strategy game).

 

[Irobot82]

It's a shame my PC is currently a wimp and this game doesn't look interesting.

IMHO many people don't fully understand what UE5 means.

UE5 is basically UE4 ver 4.3 + Nanite + Lumen + Niagara + optimization.

It's not like UE3 which was a different paradigm from the UE4. Whoever decide to use UE4 and needs to have bugfixes and optimizations, it has to work on UE5, like it's a newer version of UE4.

Many upcoming UE games are just UE4 games developed on the new release of the engine, so UE5 games without being a true full feature UE5 games.

Many UE games on Switch are, in fact UE5 games despite behaving like normal UE4 titles. That's why "Switch support UE5".

 

[Krappadizzle]

Said it another thread but this is like diminishing returns: the videogame.

The ugly art direction doesn't help but even beyond that I'm not seeing a big enough visual leap to justify the increase in hardware requirement when you compare with something like Doom Eternal which runs at 1080/60(ish) high settings on like a 1050ti

This is exactly right. The art direction is very bland and uninspired. They are easily some of the best people to ever make RPG's but their art direction over the last few decades have been consistently mediocre at best.

 

[Schmendrick]

This game oozes Godfall vibes for me.

Looks bland and generic and will probably play that way, too.

 

[raduque]

This game looks like trash. Crappy art style, "throw everything at the screen" graphics that do not justify the system requirements, and looks like boring game play.

If this is "next gen", I'm out.

Yes this is next gen. Time to move on from ps4 engine 2011 specs games

 

[chessy_08]

I dont think this game will be perfect or even have a long standing fan base but why is everyone hating on it it looks fairly unique

the negativity around this game is baffling. are people just salty they don't meet the min specs?

Like when I see hyperbole like this I can only assume you want the game to be bad above all reason.

 

[Red5]

I've been playing on PC since 1995, never had the highest end PC my dad mostly got me what was in his budget and managed to scale my game settings accordingly and that's one of the boons of PC gaming.

For example I'm running CP2077 on a mix of ultra/high and stuff like shadows on medium on an i7 4790 and gtx1070, set a max 40fps ceiling using MSI Afterburner and for me it's running well all things considered. People don't have to shoot for max settings for a great gaming experience.
