Predator: Hunting Grounds - Previews.

Graphics and setting actually made me think of both Turok and the Peter Jackson's King Kong video game.

On PC the graphics are really clean.... The problem is that the color palette is realy strong, so in low resolution and with less AA the game looks really messy.... For instance, a game like Wildlands on PS4 slim looks way better than this (on PS4) and yes: this game doesn't have a 1/4 of Wildlands budget (but it also doesn't have 1/4 of the said game scale).


It's quite disappointing honestly, I think this is the first Sony published game that makes the og PS4 version feeling like an afterthought.....
 
As the predator you are much better fighting on the ground

the predator needs some sort of throw mechanism as quite often it's just a mad hack/slash then leap into a tree

would be great to be able to throw away a teammate so you can concentrate on 1 of the team

Games that end with you downing the predator or capturing it without completing the objectives should automatically trigger the chance for the super predator to spawn and proceed to fuck shit up

had some games not even last 2 minutes
 
I tried the trial. Immediately did not like it. not even worth giving a chance for me. Just not my kinda thing. I guess maybe I was expecting something else but not a fan of this.
 
I played a few matches with both the Predator and the soldiers. Vey fun.

Any Predator fan should buy it because it's clear this is the closest thing to a 1987 Predator movie game. Bigger maps, more movie skins and better video options should be the first main updates for this game.
 
Yeah, much like F13, there's definitely a level of jank. But the game is a lot of fun, and is very true to the source material. It's so good.
 
At least the console frame rate is the same as the original film, a full cinematic 24fps

So I commend the devs for that.........

Any constructive criticism that gets posted you dismiss by claiming people aren't "real fans" and figuratively plugging your ears.

Hell, I enjoyed my time with the trial, albeit not as much as I did the F13 beta, but I can clearly see the points people are making when it comes to netcode, graphical fidelity issues, and overall gunplay jankiness.

You enjoyed the trial more than others did, get over it.

You seem do not understand a term 'constructive criticism' at all.

The first thing is that I do not expect people who have not watched first two Predator movies or have watched but do not like them to be interested in this game at all. This is weird if they do.

I never said that there is no problem with its netcode but I debunked the statement that it is the same for everyone. It is actually variable.

Regarding graphical fidelity issues. There is a difference between all three platforms i.e. OG PS4, PS4 Pro and PC. Not like in the statement the same for all of those.

The same with gunplay jankiness. A different frame rate for each platform with OG PS4 being the worst.

Also I still can't find spongy enemies and I have not seen them in other people's gameplays on YT.

Let's not forget that this is the trial-beta version of the game. Not a demo of the final product. Perhaps PS4 version requires a better optimization or even some downgrades in the case of OG PS4 to keep a stable frame rate.

And do not be surprised that I enjoyed the trial so much. I and my mates were dreaming about something like this since first time watching Predator 1987 in the 80s.

I never said that there is no problem with its netcode but I debunked the statement that it is the same for everyone. It is actually variable. It was the only game I played this weekend where I had any sort of lag issues, so I'm more inclined to believe that it had to do with either the servers or the net code itself.

Regarding graphical fidelity issues. There is a difference between all three platforms i.e. OG PS4, PS4 Pro and PC. Not like in the statement the same for all of those. I played on the PS4 Pro and I wasn't too impressed with the resolution. Resolution looked about 1080p, but I can't confirm that. Doesn't sound that low but compared to what I'm used to on the Pro and XB1X, I wasn't impressed.

The same with gunplay jankiness. A different frame rate for each platform with OG PS4 being the worst. Again, I played on the Pro and it still didn't feel all that good to me.


Also I still can't find spongy enemies and I have not seen them in other people gameplays on YT. Spongy enemies is a criticism I actually disagree with. I didn't have that issue at all.

Let's not forget that this is the trial-beta version of the game. Not a demo of the final product. Perhaps PS4 version requires a better optimization or even some downgrades in the case of OG PS4 to keep a stable frame rate. Except this wasn't marketed as a beta, but rather as a trial weekend. It wouldn't shock me if the full release next month runs just as poorly.

I played it on PS4 Pro and man its rough, the Framerate was stuttering, its far too easy on the Marine side to win and the textures on some of the assets were rough and really low texture.

Still, I can see some potential here, the idea of this game is really solid and admittedly, in spite of the flaws, I had fun, however, it needs more polish though, I can see this being F2P or on PS Plus quick, which may actually improve the longevity of the player base, its already kinda niche and its first impression is that it isn't great to play.

I wanna see this game in a years time and see what improvements are made. The same thing was the case for Friday the 13th and Death by Daylight and those games are very much improved

You can easily recognize a real fan. Those guys might like the film but have noticed a lot of references in the game from it.

Like I stated it is variable. Not the same for everyone as stated by some other user.

I am surprised that you expect more on Pro with so much geometry and physics in this game. Have you seen a similar game like this running on Unreal Engine 4?

I already wrote it. OG PS4 is the worst at it based on people's experience. I have nothing to complain about from playing it on PC.

I guess it is some random netcode bug. An enemy should be already dead but it is stuck in a still pose or something.

Whatever this is it is still an unfinished product. If you have seen a playable pre-alpha demo of it, it looked almost the same like the trial.

You actually think the game looks good on PS4? The maps aren't even big enough to justify having such low res textures. You're acting like the game is some technical marvel, but I think you're just blinded by your attachment to the source material. So far most impressions of the game I've seen are negative, and you seem to be in the minority.

There's nothing wrong with liking a bad game or one most people aren't high on. Enjoy what you enjoy and don't dwell on whether or not people agree with you.

I have not experienced it on PS4. The only thing I can do is compare it to other games with similar geometry and physics. I can't find any. My attachment is to the first two Predator films and good products based on them. For example I did not and still do not care about AvP game from 2010.

Impressions by what authorities?

Also the majority or the minority eristics do not work on me. Anyway based on the bell curve, you will find better opinions in the minority. I remeber when RE2(R) was released and the majority was and still is so excited about it but in comparison to this one does not offer much in terms of gameplay but they never complained about it. BTW, I am a huge fan of the original trilogy.
 
Dude you're allowed to enjoy trash.

Some people like jerkng off covered in faecal matter, and love it, doesnt mean it still dont smell and look like shit still

This game and colonial marines combined, is basically AvP requiem of the gaming world.

Says who? What is your analysis here.

I also like Aliens 1986 but A:CM has not brought anything special to the table. I still prefer Jaguar's AvP and PS1's Alien Trilogy more.

Next you'll be telling me, you wish they'd kept Jean Claude Van Damme on as the predator, doing jumping split kicks on Arnie

Wow! Now you are trying to surprise me with JCVD. Do you know that Tong Po from Kickboxer (Michel Qissi) was participating in Predator 1987 too?

Just accept it's a 6/10 janky game, that you like due to franchise nostalgia and move on, you can love it, but its jank, it's a MP game thatll be all but dead in a year. Should of called its predator: evolve, because its gonna suffer the same fate as that game

There's been plenty of constructive criticism, you're just choosing to ignore it.

Like I said feelings are not constructive criticism. For example you have to compare it to something similar but done better or explain that Unreal Engine 4 allows to make it better. No one has done it here.
 
Sums it up tbh

I like this game because it has a great gameplay (on PC at least) and it is inspired by one of my favorite films. It is a breath of fresh air to formulaic games nowadays. Also I never said that it is perfect but it is the best Predator game ever done. You can do a comparison with others and prove me wrong.

You clearly don't know what constructive criticism is then. I'll have to go back and compare the two, but I don't even think it looks as good as F13 did despite that game having a higher player count and significantly larger maps. Same team, same engine, and similar issues albeit more severe in Predator.
 
AvP 1999
AvP 2001
AvP 2010
Even concrete jungle was fun

All had SP and still playable, if this game fails, servers will be shut down and you'll never be able to play again, so in that respect they're already better

Gears 5 is unreal engine 4 I believe, so you saying this looks better than gears 5?
Click to expand...

Gears 5 is more simple geometrically (more blocky) and with less physics. It is obvious that with linear games you can up textures or character details. Also its gameplay is nothing special.

Cheque please!

So I guess this is the new crysis for jungle scenes and geometry, so the question for the next 5 years is 'can it run predator hunting grounds'?


No because the servers have been shut down
