Stellar Blade - PC Demo out now

I am on driver 25.5.1, which is the latest as far as i am aware. All FSR setting display the correct 1440p resolution, yea. This is on Quality, and has this much jaggies on her hair and suit. Crazy. If FSR isn't buggest, this is a complete mess.

Looking at your screen compared to others, yours screen look like have alot of sharpening going on, so make sure to see if thers a setting to turn it down cuz you might have cranked that up to the max causing all those jaggies.
 
Is the port this good ?
Even my 4090 has been slowly accustomed to be forced to use DLSS Quality or even Balanced for 80+ fps on some modern UE5 stuttershit games.
Also usually, japanese games PC ports are extreme trash.

I could see myself dipping 70 if the port is golden. I don't play the game demos usually because i don't want to spoil myself.
Yeah you will run this without issues on your card, completely maxed out. My setup is literally limited by the screen refresh, I've seen the fps counter go to 250-300fps lol

Could be a driver issue? The game isn't officially out yet.
It looks like her hair was created with the airbrush tool on Windows Paint.
 
DLSSQ running at higher resolution (4K in my case thanks to DLDSR / downscaling) always offer sharper and cleaner image compared to DLAA at 1440p native resolution.

Ohh your native res is 1440p
So you set a DLDSR factor then use DLSSQ as well.

Now it makes sense.
 
Game isn't even out and the model has been already ripped. I've already seen naked Eve and fat Eve. :goog_relieved:

Yea, i have done that, even set sharpening to zero. If you do, tho, it looks pretty darn blurry. What would be the sweet spot for sharpening? Like 3-5/10?
 
So it begins...




There were also files indicating pvp and a co-op mode found while datamining the game. Not clear if these were scrapped features or upcoming content though.


Do regular blokes actually think this looks good? Not to mention what's going to happen to it once she's had a couple of kids.

I dont have the Stellar Blade demo installed on my PC so i cant test it out, but usually i always leave the sharpening at the default settings that are usually 0 or 1. But you can try it out starting from 0 and increasing it 1 by 1 untill you find a sweet spot for your tastes in image quality.

Recently while playing around with Hogwarts Legacy settings i cranked the sharpening all the way up and also ended with a super jaggied broken image quality, so i droped it to the default that i think is zero or 1.

Seeing people speak so fondly of Nier Automata's combat shows me how little of those type of games people have actually played. I enjoyed the game a ton, but that game's combat is incredibly shallow compared to things made before it. It's baby's first character action game basically. The combat isn't what made it special.
What do you think made it special? And which games are similar that you think are better? Serious question because I would like to play some. Nier Automata was a game where the more I played the more I wanted to play it. Wouldn't mind chasing that feeling again.

You talk about her like she's real lol it's just polygons.
That said, wide hips and narrow waist is scientifically proven to be attractive. Not entirely sure about that ratio tho…
 


They're embracing the mods lol

So cool that game devs acknowledge VR's awesomeness (I intend to do my full plathrough that way). Same with Bloober Team which made it even easier for modders to implement motion controls in the Silent Hill 2 Remake via update.
 
I tried the demo just to see if the 4k textures make a big difference and they are still trash. It seems to me like they just put effort into the main character and make her look good because the environments are very dated

the 4K texture is just detail texture (high frequency normal) added on top of the old texture; the upgrade should be much more noticeable in the open brighter tone areas later in the game as oppose to the darker color tone demo area.
 
I'm pretty happy with how this runs on my crappy outdated 3080. It doesn't look good enough to restart my playthrough from PS5 though. I'm nearly done with that one.
 
been messing around with some ini tweak

you can add SSGI light bounce by adding these lines into the engine.ini file, lost about 10fps on my 4080.


r.SSGI.Enable=1
r.SSGI.HalfRes=1
r.SSGI.Quality=3

You can see in interior of the car is shaded much more accurately with SSGI but everything else in the background looks like they lack any AO which I think it kind of accurate due to indirect light. Some people might prefer the thick old school AO
 
I loved the demo and really want to pick this up today but there hasn't been much for deals out there. Like $53 after tax is the best I can find, which is higher than I almost ever pay for a game, particularly one that's been out on Playstation for over a year.
