Game looks last gen, and they blame the SSD? Nah, I don't buy it one bit. Sounds like the dev doesn't know how to optimize well if that's an issue for them.
I don't get what all the hype is about with this game. I played the beta and wasn't impressed. The maps are way too small, to the point where you often get spawn camped. The graphics are incredibly last gen and so is the gunplay. Got old fast. I'm desperate for something new in the genre too and this ain't it for me...
@Cikajovazmaj describing something that isn't a monopoly then sharing the definition of a monopoly doesn't change that your description doesn't match it. Might want to wait until the 3rd place brand can even become the market leader before you even consider talking about monopoly dangers. Sony is a much higher monopoly risk right now, and even they aren't close yet.
@Chaotic_Neutral Redfall is an exceptionally bad example lol! You wouldn't want to play that at 120fps much less 30fps. Most XBox games manage 60fps just fine too. It's a matter of the type of game it is usually, with the exceptions of bad devs and Redfall.
@Chaotic_Neutral a 60fps racer is a lot more easily achievable than a 60fps open universe game. 99.99% of gamers can handle 30fps just fine. Sorry your situation is uniquely different, but it's not the standard and 60fps is not the standard yet on any console. It is for certain genres, but not for massive open world games yet clearly. Hopefully, they'll get a downrezzed, 60fps option or VRR feature that'll work for you at some point.
People love to crap on this soo hard, yet we all play the shizz out of Elder Scrolls and Fallout games. The odds are high this will be a great game that will have many hours spent on it by many people.
@BBB I take it you could never play videogames without getting sick up until this generation then? You act like 60fps was normal in previous generations...
It looks decent actually. But, I totally get the anger considering we haven't gotten a legit 3d PoP in forever. Coincidentally, the same situation with Metroid. Though I loved Dread.
"Windows phone" oh shut up Tom! Not even close to the same and this game is licensed shovelware. Can't stand these mongerers like Tom Warren and Jez. Even their profile pic tells you the type of person they are.
I'll probably stick with the higher resolution at 30fps given this game's pace being much slower, 60fps is not really needed. I like soaking in the gorgeous visuals. But yes, always good to have more options.
To be fair though, has Todd Howard every really missed on his projects? Even Fallout 76 (which he wasn't as involved in), managed to salvage itself over time. And this game is his baby, that he's been working on for a very, very long time. I think he will deliver on it.
Lol heck no! It's a total ripoff! How on earth could you have it cost more than Game Pass? Yves is proving to be incredibly inept at his job, Ubi just keeps taking Ls.
@themightyant However, you are comparing a massive 3D open world game to a 2D game. It's just amazing how often games are delayed, and delayed, and delayed, and delayed these days. Devs need to do a better job of knowing where they are at and quit making empty promises. They enjoyed using "COVID delay" as an excuse, but that doesn't fly anymore. I guess I'm just tired of that state of games in general right now. I'd rather not know about a game until it will be released within a year.
@themightyant You can't deny though that the number of delays it has had is very unique however. You sound like their PR rep (or a burner account for them) the way you are responding to people about it and that you know all the devs names.
Sheesh, I can't say I've ever seen a 2D game stuck in development hell for this long. This is ridiculous. I mean I loved the first game, and I'll play this if it ever comes out. But good grief lol!
