5080 or Ps5 pro reviews will decide for me

Lol ofc PC. Console footage looks rough

I cant comprehend how someone has a 5080 and they contemplate to buy the console version lol

Where is console footage?

 

[Exede]

I totally forgot this game existed. I say 83

 

[Luipadre]

Where is console footage?

Almost every gameplay trailer is on PS5 pro.

 

[Gona_B_L8]

pre-loaded and ready to roll (even though i only expect it to land around the 77-81 mark)

 

[Gona_B_L8]

Unlikely. It's a low-budget game and small team. They will have their hands full getting the normal versions to run properly.

all games releasing from october 2024 onwards have to have (some/ or all) pro enhancements as dictated by sony

 

[Gubaldo]

78

Oh I had no idea.

I have a 5090 but will be buying the console version of Battlefield 6. People have their reasons I suppose. For BF6 on PC it's requiring users to enable "safe boot" in the bios for kernel level access for their anti-cheat software. Nah fam, I'll grab it for PS5 Pro.

When are the numbers dropping? I'm here for the bitching and crying from the usuals

You guys will never learn

I was in the same situation. Its much easier to remoteplay on ps5 than fucking windows that cant sleep my pc properly. Having said that, short game means im playing my sessions on the big screen. So pc it is.

Oh really? I did not know that.

ps, although Fabieter below seems to disagree.

 

[analog_future]

No one knows. (which is not exactly a good sign)

 

[Gamer_By_Proxy]

This is the first game I've preordered from a steam key site . . . says I'll get the key in about 11 hours.
I was starting to wonder if it'd get it late.

 

[Fabieter]

No it has to run on the Pro not every game has pro support

 

[Humdinger]

No one knows [when the review embargo lifts]. (which is not exactly a good sign)

Yeah, that's weird. Plenty of review codes went out, yet no one can say when the reviews will be posted? Maybe that's part of the NDA, too.


Posted by the dev on Reddit yesterday:

Hey all! Just confirming review copies have indeed been sent out and you can expect reviews to drop closer to launch. Thanks and stay tuned!

 

[Luipadre]

Apparently one of the reviewer finished it in a day. Now that can mean a lot of things, but im afraid this game will be really short.

 

[analog_future]

It's a $50 linear game; I'd be surprised if the campaign was more than 10-15 hours.

 

[The Cockatrice]

A lot of games, even in big open worlds which Mafia isnt, can be finished in 8 hours or so if you focus on the story only which a lot of reviewers do. That being said the first Mafia games were also around 10 to 15 hours.

 

[amigastar]

Yeah, thats why it costs "only" 50 Bucks, it's just a short campaign.

 

[samoilaaa]

i dont see it going higher than 75

 

[Humdinger]

Apparently one of the reviewer finished it in a day. Now that can mean a lot of things, but im afraid this game will be really short.

I'm expecting about 12 hours, like the first two games.

Some reviewers will play on easy just to blow through the game and get their reviews out quickly. Someone who rushed through it in a day might be in that camp.

 

[Techno_Inked]

I was hyped when it first got announced, but the more I see the more boring and conventional it seems. Everything also feels very stiff. If I play this game it definitely wouldn't be for the combat but more the vibe and potentially good story. I'm thinking low to mid 70s.

Yea, the serious reviewers take their time and get stuck on the tutorials!!!

Where did you read this?

 

[ClosBSAS]

ya, shit looked hype as fuck when first announced...latest trailer looked like a borefest. probably around 7ish....either way, listen up you silly gaffers, MAFIA games are played FOR ITS STORY, not gameplay, even though 2 had very decent gameplay but the stories are great and while mafia 3 wasnt as good, the treason scene is one of the best in gaming history.

I saw that one reviewer apparently completed the game in 10 hours.

13 hours with side content.

That's plenty for me. I do all side content (except Mafia 3) and I generally take longer than stated times. Or it counts when I have it paused. Not sure.

It's a gaf phenomenon

 

[Jayjayhd34]

Glad it's short sick death bloated mess
Pre load done.

 

[Gamer_By_Proxy]

I can use PSVR2 on PS5 and PC. If the game is the same price I usually pick console just cause it's less of a hassle than steamvr and in a better area for vr.
Also sometimes I'd rather stream a game to my Portal than play a gimped handheld version on Steam Deck locally.

 

[rodrigolfp]

Stream a non gimped version from the 5080 to the Steam Deck.

 

[analog_future]

Stream a non gimped version from the 5080 to the Steam Deck.

And at a higher bitrate and lower latency than on the Portal.

 

[Gamer_By_Proxy]

Stream a non gimped version from the 5080 to the Steam Deck.

While true, I don't keep my PC on or in standby. Never even tried streaming to the Steam Deck.

 

[analog_future]

August 7, 5AM PT / 8AM ET / 2PM CET is when reviews will be available. Adding this to the OP

Not today? that sucks.

 

[Humdinger]

Do we actually know anything about whether the game will get a real Sicilian dubbing?

"Mafia: The Old Country will have fully localized voice acting in Sicilian to match the setting and time period." (from the listing on the PS Store)

That sounds pretty cool. I might even opt for Sicilian voices + subtitles for my playthrough. I've gotten used to that with Yakuza games and appreciate the difference it can make.

 

[Sabejita]

I cant comprehend how someone has a 5080 and they contemplate to buy the console version lol

Denuvo.

Same thing for late review copies (only on PC); why pay 1 more week of Denuvo for reviewers only?

 

[TVexperto]

my copy was shipped today hopefully it will arrive tomorrow so 1 day early

Nice thanks, will do the same!

 

[Danny22]

It was so good when they announced it will be a shorter, linear game.

I think most hopes were crushed when we all saw the gameplay. It looked Janky, unpolished, low budget and that's when the expectations shifted.

 

[Luipadre]

Review embargo is tomorrow 5PM CET, same time the game comes out on PC. Im definitely waiting for impressions and lenght before buying it. I have BF6 beta to play anyway

 

[GudOlRub]

For those like me who are interested but are also waiting for reviews instead of preordering, the game is a tiny bit cheaper on Green Man Gaming.

It was on a forum, but maybe its inaccurate. 3 hours difference isnt that big tho

They can't release with no enhancements? WHat about Mindseye?
