this will have 20k concurrent players on steam, 25k tops. its gonna do better than uncharted but wont do better than miles morales and the decline will keep going until sony releases a good game on PC.

Imo The real reason Sony ports are no longer doing well is not because they aren't good games it's because they put feck all effort into them and marketing them etc.

All the initial releases on PC had hype because Sony had finally started putting games on PC. Ever since then they stopped doing any real marketing or things to put these releases in the public eye.

 

[SmokedMeat]

Curious to see how this runs on Steam Deck. Unlocks in less than one hour.

Dividing in three parts, changing the combat and ruining the story, the definition of what a remake should not do.

Don’t play it then. As a die hard FFVII lover, I really like where they are going with it. If I want to play the OG, I know where to get it.

I'm not, my ass still burn for the first game because i wanted to go against all my instincts but i didn't bought intergrade nor i'm gonna buy the sequels of this travesty.

FWIW the remake of PT 1 alone is longer than the game on PS1, they made it worth the cash.

 

[Puscifer]

I'm more curious about anyone with a 4080 if 4K 60 is really all I can expect when I'm playing RE4 with Ray Tracing @ 4K around 90fps max (the RE engine is amazing), something seriously seems off.

EDIT: Depending on how I feel I'll probably provide my own tonight.

PT1 is much longer with mostly filler sadly. It's like going from DBZ manga to anime, but on an even more ridiculous scale of filler.

Yeah, they bloated a 5-6 hours section into a 40 hours slog with absolute shit pace just to divide the game in 3 or more parts to milk the whole thing, nice work indeed.

From Naughty Dog Statement:

So, where will the next Naughty Dog development adventure take us? Rest assured, PlayStation and PC players, we’re already looking forward to sharing more, whether you prefer a DualSense controller or a keyboard and mouse. Developing for both platforms empowers us to incorporate lessons learned from either into the overall design of our games. Sharing our stories and experiences on PS5 as well as PC is something that Naughty Dog has embraced and will continue to support moving forward.

 

[ClosBSAS]

This will be best Sony release to date
100k
Mark my words
I talk about 1st weekend

oh my...you seem confident. wont even cross 40k, mark my words.

 

[legacy24]

Factions day1 on PC for sure

It has already surpassed 10k, and it was released in less than an hour ago

This was confirmed a long time ago.

[ClosBSAS]

lol thats nothing, weve seen games reach 250k in less than 20 minutes. surprsingly its gonna hit 30k apparently, so good for them, but it wont get past the 40k, which is decent still.

 

[BootsLoader]

game will perfectly run on 16 gb. heck, I can make this thing work at rock solid 40 FPS on 8 gb ram budget

and no, you don't need a 1500 bucks PC. a 350 bucks 6700xt will match or outpace a PS5 easily and you can easily build a 800-900 bucks pc with a 6700xt/5600x/12400 in it

here's spiderman miles morales running at 1440p high locked 45 fps with high %1 lows;



(requirements claim you need 16 gb ram for 1080p medium and 8 gb ram for 720p/lowest possible settings)

I really lost faith in PC gaming because all I see these days are overpriced RGB peripherals etc. Back in late 90s, early 2000s I remember building PCs with my friend from scrap (parts from older computers or parts other people throwing away) or buying cheap peripherals, we could really play anything we wanted without giving a ton of money. Maybe I am boomer, who knows.

 

[Midn1ght]

Game's Building Shaders at the main screen just like Uncharted. Good.

 

[elcapitano]

24k concurrent players and considering the it's early morning on a Tuesday in the US and work/school are only just finishing up in the EU that's fairly good so far.

 

[Gamezone]

Looks to be doing pretty good on Steam.

 

[Thebonehead]

Shaders taking an age to compile on my 12900k / 4090

 

[elcapitano]

Looks to be doing pretty good on Steam.

How many hours do we reckon until peak numbers?

It's 5pm or 6pm in Europe now depending on where people are so most will only be getting in from school and work now.

And obviously it's earlier in the US so people still in school and work.

Probably 4-5 hours from now will be peak for today?

It's currently over 28k so it has surpassed Days Gone. Next one to beat is Horizon at 56k.

 

[RickSanchez]

In case some one has an older rig (10XX or a lower 20XX card), please tell me about your performance.

I want to know how my 1080Ti will handle it. Most Sony ports so far have been fine. Returnal ran quite well at 1440p, mid-high settings, almost steady 60 fps. Hoping this will be the same.

 

[Calverz]

Building shaders on main menu took like 20 minutes for me.

Might be a tough ask. Seems Sony games dropped off a cliff on PC after initial hype.

If it got to 50-60k that would probably be fairly good all things considered.

Then again peak numbers don't actually tell a lot of the story either. Horizon is apparently the best selling PS game on PC and he'll Days gone has sold similarly to God of War. And then there is Miles Morales which didn't do great really.

PC sales are fairly random in comparison to their sales on playstation. The better selling games on PlayStation aren't always the better selling games on PC

If it weren't for the fact I got it for 40 dollars on CD keys I would've passed, just like returnal. I might just bounce from work and finish my day at home just to install it lol

Last time they shared information, God of war number was, indeed, similar to Days Gone but that was 3 months worth of sale for GOW vs 12 months for Days Gone I believe, I think GOW sold way more since that, specially during Ragnarok hype.

I also think that Spiderman Remastered is one of their best selling port so far, could be close to Horizon.

But yeah, Concurrent Players at launch doesn't tell the whole story I agree.

 

[Thebonehead]

Few issues so far:

• Takes about 1 minute to load into the level on a 6500MBS Read ssd
• Something feels off with the camera panning. Seems stuttery despite running at around 100fps with no frametime spikes.
• Game has also crashed 3 times already in first 10 minutes

 

[3liteDragon]

Building shaders on main menu took like 20 minutes for me.

What's your rig?

 

[SlimySnake]

Shaders are taking forever to install. Im at 8% after 10 minutes on an 11700kf. CPU is 100% running at 4.8 GHz and pulling 180 watts. Hovering around 80 degrees.

Gonna get lunch because this is gonna be a while. Getting 35 FPS on a 3080 at native 4k default settings on the menu. Really hope this isnt indicative of actual in game performance.

 

[cinnamonandgravy]

maybe when it's $5

 

[Thebonehead]

Anyone else notice stutters when simply panning the camera with the mouse?

 

[john2gr]

Yeap, the game has the exact same mouse camera panning stutters that are present in the UNCHARTED Collection. Not surprising as Iron Galaxy is responsible for both games (even though Naughty Dog tried to hide its partnership with them).

I'm dipping out now as far too distracting, Did they ever fix for the UC collection?

 

[john2gr]

I'm dipping out now as far too distracting, Did they ever fix for the UC collection?

Nope. After all, they (Iron Galaxy) completely dropped support for UNCHARTED Collection (and now we know why, they've been working on TLOU Part I). Since this is a new release, though, they might fix it for TLOU.

 

[Midn1ght]

The game is getting mixed review right now, lots of performance issue and crashes. Not good.
Sony has fixed all of their games so far so I have no doubt it will be patched in no time but damn, would be nice to have a clean launch for once.

Just buy a PS5. It works fine every time.

 

[TrebleShot]

Just been on it for the intro section and well yeah stutters every few seconds. IQ is incredible and frames are around 60-75 native 4k on a 4090.

 

[Calverz]

Iron Galaxy did the port. NO SURPRISE.

 

[M1chl]

Those shaders, whew. It took like 20 minutes on my rig:
7900X3D
64GB DDR5
RTX4090

And yeah I too had during that time 100% on CPU, which means it was well parallelized, but there is a lot of them there.

 

[Calverz]

Shaders are taking about one year to load on steam deck

I don't know, but games usually peaks much higher when released just before the weekend. This game wasn't.

 

[Midn1ght]

Well, lots of refund incoming and they can kiss big extra sale this week goodbye.

 

[Fools idol]

christ, played for 5 mins and crashed my entire pc forcing a hard reboot.

loaded up again, crashed on the menu.

Loading up one more time and got around 10 minutes in before another hard lock.... what in the fuck is going on here. Not what you expect for a port of a heavy hitting PS exclusive title.


Edit - this thing is making my 3090 run hot as shit. Be warned.
