Fantastic OT!

Heard good things about the campaign, gonna try it out.

 

[MagiusNecros]

I plan on checking it out. Hope it's good. Seems too good to be true.

 

[T4keD0wN]

Game looks dope, really excited for this one and its just a few more days...

Hope they dont drop the ball on the localization.

 

[Pop]

Another GOTY for 2025

[TGO]

OT before the reviews.....not a good sign, but it's not a sure thing either.

 

[Poppinfresh]

Don't normally look forward to F2P games, but I'm really looking forward to this one.

 

[Miyazaki’s Slave]

Thanks for the OT!!

Any initial PC impressions from anywhere or will PS5 Pro be the "best place to play"?

Honestly don't know how much Pro support the game will get.

I'm gonna start it on PC, since it's more beefier and handles the game better.

Don't forget: recommended RAM for this game is...32GB

 

[cormack12]

Beautiful OT bro

 

[Durin]

Looks pretty cool, but these games where they showcase so many different things you can do...I always wonder how the execution and balance is gonna land.

Definitely would love if they did a demo, or I'll just wait until after release to see live footage of people playing.

Top gif with the rain sets a vibe though.

 

[poppabk]

Looks cool but free to play always sets my alarm bells ringing.

No need for demo since the game is free to play. It released a year ago in China.

Oh, well then I'll maybe give it a shot if the monetization isn't terrible.

Are there any impressions from the Chinese release in English?

 

[Angry_Megalodon]

Only cosmetics. I find it hard to believe they can sustain a game of this scope with that but for the time being it's working.

I laughed hard when the guy says that in online mode you can pay with real money to put a bounty on a player that you don't like XD Massive troll.

 

[Yoshichan]

Been hyping this shit up A LOT lately, perfect blend of MMO and singleplayer? Count me the fuck in!

 

[StereoVsn]

Great OP and I am actually looking forward to a F2P game! Will wonders never cease!?

Hopefully this will be good for the SP side of things as I have no plans to do any MP with the game.

 

[MagiusNecros]

Supposed to have 150 hours of pure single player stuff and it has a thing where you swap between single player and Co-op/MMO lite. I think even PvP duels.

I watched a video about a week ago where SP mode was called RPG mode and the multiplayer mode was MMO mode or something like that.

Will find out next week.

 

[Punished Miku]

Expectations are pretty low but I would definitely try it out.

 

[SnapShot]

Looks cool for a free to play game, hope it's not all just for show and doesn't turn into slop

 

[Icymanipulator]

Will definitely try this out. Why not.

PCMR it is then

 

[Agent_4Seven]

Same here after watching a few video - reminds me a lot of AC and I've Shadows yet to finally go back to and complete. Plus, 210GB of storage is also a huge ask and I'm not sure (to say the least) that the game will be well optimized.

We'll see, if SP component is really good story-wise, I might give it a go at some point, provided I can play it at a locked 30 FPS at least.

Nankatsu great OT, ma man!

 

[clarky]

Solid work on the OT. Very nice!

 

[Larxia]

210GB of storage

Is that true? Steam only mentions 100GB.
210 would be a bit much indeed...

 

[cash_longfellow]

Didn't realize this was going to be ftp…I'll definitely give it a go!

 

[StereoVsn]

Is that true? Steam only mentions 100GB.
210 would be a bit much indeed...

Yeah, that would be a lot, more than COD I think.

 

[Sakura]

I don't think I have enough room on my drives to give it a go lol

 

[Angry_Megalodon]

Apparently, the 200 gigas version is only for devs, so it's not available. It's around 100 gigas for PS and PC.

210 GB!? Got damnnnn lol.

 

[Agent_4Seven]

If that's case then it'll be way easier to give this game a go.

210 GB!? Got damnnnn lol.

I saw on Twitter that 210 GBs is for the best visual quality - who knows, there's no specifics at all.

PC:

85 Gb ( Low Graphics )
145 Gb ( Medium Graphics )
210 Gb ( max Graphics )

PS5:

110 GB

 

[Larxia]

If that's case then it'll be way easier to give this game a go.

I guess they will have higher res texture packs as "dlcs" then, but it's surprising to see multiple options like this.

 

[Tobimacoss]

Did Sony pay for timed exclusivity for this too?

Seems the game is on android and iOS too.

 

[Joe Cool]

Free to Play?! For some reason I thought this was going to be a priced retail title. Wow. Hard pass then. Man, that's a disappointment.

 

[rkofan87]

a single player free-to-play game that's not gotcha trash Count Me In

 

[Felessan]

No market on other platform and Sony often helps with porting (Chinese devs don't have much experience with consoles) while others don't care.

Its only cosmetic MTX. Fail to see the issue, game is free if its not your jam then nothing lost.

So PS5 is not even mid graphics tier. Should be well optimized

 

[PixelatedBeast]

Oh, I've been waiting....

 

[Tobimacoss]

No market huh. Is that why Sony ported Helldivers 2? If they have experience with Windows version, the Xbox GDK isn't much different.

Anyways, this game's subreddit mentioned that Sony has a 6 month timed exclusivity, that's why it isn't on Xbox or Switch 2.

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

Nankatsu Damn, that's a banging OT, my bro!

 

[MagiusNecros]

I saw on Twitter that 210 GBs is for the best visual quality - who knows, there's no specifics at all.

Finally a true AAAA game that is trying to match the modded Skyrim experience.

 

[Gonzito]

I definitely want to play this, hopefully is good

 

[BlackTron]

This game looks surprisingly good. Better start clearing SSD space.

 

[Felessan]

Yeah, western oriented sci-fi shooter is the same market as wuxia
Genshin earns 80% off Asia, we are talking about 1-2% of potential revenue if game coming to Xbox - in most cases it doesn't worth it. Genshin skipped Xbox for years not because of exclusivity deals, and I expect MS paid hefty for it and ZZZ to appear on Xbox. HSR, being jrpg, not worth it at all and both MS and Mihoyo understands it.

And it's not just dev - game need porting, testing, certifying and publishing on Xbox and it should be permanent team as it's live service game with constant stream of content.

Anyways, this game's subreddit mentioned that Sony has a 6 month timed exclusivity, that's why it isn't on Xbox or Switch 2.

If they helped - they would want something in return.
But you know what - no second tier AAA gachas go to Xbox or switch2 for now - ToF, Infinity Nikki, WuWa all abstain even though some of them way beyond exclusivity window. And most prominent future releases also PS5 exclusive for now - Arknight, Azur Lane, NtE, Ananta. Quite telling.

WuChang: Fallen Feathers did quite well on Gamepass. Beast of Reincarnation is also going to launch Day 1 on Gamepass. Not F2P gacha games but Chinese and Japanese devs. Stellar Blade would've done well on Xbox too, it was actually introduced at an Xbox games showcase. That changed after Sony got involved, same with WuKong.

If Genshin Impact got a good deal from Gamepass, for certain benefits added for a F2P game, these other games could get similar good deals too.

That 80% that Genshin earns from Asis, how much is of it is from PS5? Or iOS and Android?

So why aren't these games on Switch 2? Is there no market there either?

You underestimate how much people pays for cosmetics in a f2p game.

If people didn't buy cosmetics then games like PoE and Fortnite would not exist
