So UE5… again
Whole engine is based on getting grainy graphics fixed by temporal solution which smears everything.
I’m starting to hate UE..

It was always going to be a PC game first and foremost. Just like Cyberpunk, Black Myth, AW2, Star Wars Outlaws, etc. These games are developed with high spec PC in mind and then gimped to run on consoles. Only so much gimping you can do. All of these console games you see temporal upscaling from 1080p or lower from these 3rd party developers are console afterthoughts.

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. is all about PC, like Metro, Alan Wake, Cyberpunk, etc. Consoles are generally the afterthought here!

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
Will be interesting to see more impressions, reminder that it was in a decent state months ago.
being UE5, you would´nt expect performance in 60fps mode to be "smooth". I would be satisfied with the performance being located in areas where the VRR can do its job and the image quality is adequate and perhaps better than what has been usual in consoles in the UE5 game performance mode... We will see.

Performance mode?
Thats the one aiming for 60 anyone who was expecting a locked 60 in this game clearly hasnt been paying attention to the generation, the War happening or UE5 in general.
Im not surprised.
Same user:
VRR helps out a ton. It's still not a locked 60 but it feels much better imo.
AI is kicking my ass all the time so that probably shouldn't concern you lol
I think it's mostly very accurate shooting but I'm gonna have to dive a little deeper. Dogs flank you though and it's really tough to catch them.
I don't think anyone will have an issue with AI being too easy.
This actually all sounds like good news to me.
But that install size.....ooooofffff
160GB.......time to start uninstalling some stuff.

Thank you, was a nice read, the first testing if him was on a none VRR TV, but after testing with VRR TV he says it's better:
Will be interesting to see how good is the performance mode, still optimistic i will enjoy it.
. Cant wait for this game to be available for ps5.

I like how these guys literally made the game while being bombed in their homes evading tanks in their neighborhood but UE5 performance is still too much for them to handle.
UE5 a challenge worse than actual fucking war.

UE5 is obviously too demanding for current gen and Microsoft bet the house on it didn’t they.

Every Unreal has been mediocre and annoying. How many rock solid classics are released on UE? Breaks my heart that CDPR are moving to it. Their engine blows it out of the water. Looks like Halo will suffer the same fate. Crazy how many people are blown away by the tech demos but don't notice the actual UE products are always a little stiff and problematic.
STALKER being on UE could really cut the legs off. All the previous releases require mods to have the best possible time. Can't think of any UE title with a wealth of mods. It's like if Bethesda moved to UE, but maybe not as bad.

Do You really think it will run better on pc? It's Stalker. We will be able to play it well, with good fps in 5-10 years lol.
There will be problems with it on any platform and it doesn't matter. Stalker ran like shit too when it released

This is coming in hot isn't it.
The situation won't be better there, I'm too lazy to search for all the news, you can google it. They lied about the system requirements, in fact, the system requirements were specified using upscalers, and not on pure hardware. Then they banned people on Steam for asking how this was possible, then they actually unbanned them and apologized (the moderator got carried away). In short, it's a circus on PC too.

It will run better. But it will not run satisfactory

1000% par for the GSC course. I love all their games after patches and mods, but it's in their DNA to be sketchy. They pioneered the genre of Eastern Euro Jankware after all. (one of my favorite genres btw)

Yup not available on steam... this is 100% dev decisionI heard some blurb that PC preload wont be available before launch.
They are saying to make the game more secure but preloads are always encrypted on Steam

Combine this with the late review embargo, and this game looks like a big ol "wait and see".
