my bet is 720p Lowest settings across the board at 30fps should be doable.
since I have the Xbox/Windows Store version I sadly can't really test it myself... but given how it runs on my desktop PC, it seems to be pretty light compared to many current AAA games.

...I mean it's iD Tech after all...


EDIT: apparently it's broken through Proton at the moment 😬 😬 😬

I can wait. I'll just try to stay as spoiler-free as possible.

@GHG going to be in tatters when he sees the steam reviews if they stay very positive. let's wait until launch day or a few days after to see how it pans out.
It might go down a bit when the game opens up to everyone. There are already a few threads on Steam with people moaning about the RTX requirement, and a few questionable and not very subtle warring threads from a certain section.

Played opening.
Shamefully bad re-creation not worthy of Raiders of the lost ark.

6/10 based on the opening, only thing going for it so far is Indy Baker voice.

Characters look bad, like they are out of place in the scene even cut scenes, like aliasing gone wrong, animation stutters, characters barely react to you bumping into them, dead bloated faces and eyes, things like food cans on a stone barely react to the whip, it kind of just passes through them.

How's the streaming these days? My TV can stream Xbox stuff but I never tried it. Will it look bad on a big screen?

I'm pleasantly surprised that Xbox X/S version is basically locked 60fps. I think they did a great job. Was going to play it on my PC, but will definitely check out the XSX ver on TV too.
 
As with Stalker 2, I had extreme faith in the game and the developer.

For this reason and to support the programmers, I treated myself with the game already today (feel free to stone me 🙈).

I've only played about 3 hours but I'm thrilled so far. Oldskool puzzle solving, exploration, avoiding traps, a few jumps here and there, a little bit of walking/sightseeing simulator and superb cutscenes. All of this is lightened up a bit by sneaking and fighting. Excellent mix!

Unfortunately, the only negative things arw the last two elements, as they are too easy in my opinion. This may change as the game progresses, but I doubt that. Here I recommend setting the combat difficulty to "Hard" or even "Very Hard" right from the start.

What a year... Wukong, Stalker 2, Indiana Jones, Silent Hill 2, Sons of the Forest,....

You can try GforceNow. The free version is "1080p" values in the middle. the paid version offers "4K 60fps" with ULtra and RT values.It's a great experience and you can link your gamepass account and the games (Indiana Jones on 9 DEC)

I caught a smash JT live feed yesterday where he was watching reviews and the whole chat was like "wow, this looks fine!" and JT was all like well surprising it looks like a good game! The day before he made a video that Indiana Jones is in trouble :rolleyes:
Yeah, the woke thing is going a little too far in trying to alienate games before they have actually released.

I just think those guys genuinely love easier console style games and anything that is a little out there in game design or trying something different baffles their brain. Say, like a deus ex. Can you imagine Tim Betty trying to play a game where you use your brain lol

Everyone will be different. Last time I tried it, pretty difficult to tell any difference with my Series S. I have fiber so who knows.

“Modern Audience” reference.
Should they have made it for time travelers? Every game today targets the modern audience, people don't make games for the future and people in the past can't play them yet.

What's the story here, were people just mad that an gay dude has a job?

Yep. The pride shirt + modern audience line was a wombo combo that the anti-woke reeeeeeeee’s just couldn’t take.

Never mind the fact that this franchise is 40+ years old and hasn’t had what many would consider to be a “real” entry in over 30 years.

Is this how things work in your fanboy world?
not a fanboy at all, at least colin has some integrity left in him.

do i prefer colin to kinda funny these days? absolotly but it doesnt make me a fanboy.

cant stand tim gettys (which seems to be a leech of greg) also greg not supporting his suppose best friend was just wrong.

kinda funny turned out to be one of those sell out youtubers channels that want to be on the good side of everything just to get free stuff and money

The Edymntion guy in his latest video was like 60 of the 3,000 rockstar devs took a diversity course on linkedin which literally means ROCKSTAR IS DEAD. his words he repeated multiple times.

I am like did you not watch the fucking trailer. It looks better than anything ever made both in terms of tech and artistry. If rockstar was dead, who made this? Aliens?

Women and minorities are the first to be blamed for a game's fuckups. I remember people posting a pic of 50 women at 343i as proof that women were the reason the game sucked. I looked at wikipedia and they had 700 devs by the end of Halo Infinite's development. So was it those 50 women or the other 650 hacks who just happened to be male? Same goes for starfield. Do we blame the purple hair guy or Todd fucking howard who purposefully made the game a talking simulator with some of the worst writing and mission design in a bethesda game to date? but yes, lets always blame women and minorities.

Some games just stink because of poor management, bad development practices, greed, and a lot of high level decisions that even these Sweet Baby Inc people have no control over. Alan Wake 2 sucked ass not because Sweet Baby told them to make her black but because Sam Lake wrote a bad story, wanted to make a musical, and forgot basic rules of game design.
