From all, info you can gather, seems like regular gaming sites reviews lack as much integrity or more than the user reviews, and cancel other views too.
Looks good, just not a remake like system shock seems to be, which is in my wishlist and a must. Aren't they supposed to come out with system shock 2 remaster as well?
But still interested to a point.
Im also tempted by blade runner, albeit it seems really clunky, short, and not so replayable.
But its 5 bucks on sale.
@BookhouseBoy it seems sadly to be the case, i checked on reddit, and you can see they mostly dumbed down further the stealth, taking out alarm panels for npcs to use, less patrols, etc, very unfortunate, means no buy from me until really improved..
Also patch added screen tearing to ps5, messed up hdr, dumbed down the speeder chases, with less crashes, with obstacles and other speeders.
Shows what they are doing is just mindless quick 'fixes', illusion, and pleasing casuals. Shame. And the director said before how proud he is of years of work, and will never stop improving it...
An hour and a half.., a lil short... lol. Sorry but this means ill wait for a complete ed, on sale at a few bucks more than the base game on sale price.
That's super news, i just wish they'd update the 1st game to run smoothly at least on ps5 backward compatibility. I often just play it for a little then i tire of the slow fps.
The changes sound more like making stealth easier, even more accessible, not adding depth. Idk, hopefully it will turn out great overall. It looks fun still, just repetitive in stealth and gunplay.
Like a few said here, the ps4 game looks amazing still on ps5, and smooth, just the face animations in convos are a little basic, so i guess it's a nice way to up immersion into dialogue.
But i like aloy delivery, very smooth,natural, i hope they didn't redo voices.
Ofc because they dont want to make it cheaper to get the ps4 version plus upgrade, instead of the new ps5 version.
But, it be better if they kept the ps4 version at same low price, but make the upgrade more costly for those buying the old game starting now, that the new one is announced.
And leave the upgrade cheap for those that already had bought it. Idk,,seems a little more fair maybe.
Then you could wait to buy the upgrade or ps5 version on sale later on.
At least they said they are committed to updated and improve outlaws for a long time, and make it a great game and success. Cross fingers, id love it to be super good in all accounts after done.
It's a reasonable deal, but problem is if you already played it, plus there's a sequel out already that's more impressive already, with more fleshed out outposts etc, from what i read..
There's also the problem of ssd storage space when it's a ps5 version game, which costs a bundle to upgrade to something beefy still.
And, the 1st game ps4 version is already updated to run smooth and cleaner, in backcompatibility.
Worth it if you haven't played it, and prefer play the 1st game before the sequel.
This game was never well optimized,,so its not about hardware,,and it never looked particularly great on previous versions. Not going to pay a grand more to get this game to finally run smooth, plus the fidelity mode on ps5 pro still looks much clearer, pretty sad they cant even on that, make it run and look great.
It's a shame really that the base gameplay is poor, i really like the look, feel, design idea of it in previews.
But as was to be expected, stealth is poor and broken even it seems, action is basic, and mission design is very limited, instant stealth fail where you can't even knock a guard out, or if allowed, the game is bugged and fails because the ai saw you while its being knocked down, etc.
Shame, but you can see in avatar too, the devs last game, the beginning is a bad sign, with 30 mins almost if basic corridor stealth with almost no guards.
I don't get it, they have a lot of resources, ubisoft, they should have time too, on ps5 it's buggy it seems really.
As others said, 20 bucks in a year or 2.
Wanted this to be great, even the open world i read is pretty underwhelming with it's bland racing, the shooting on the bike etc.
Check out big dan gaming vid, he shows the ai, and trial and error stealth etc.
Looks like could be fun, too much colorful cartoony particles for my taste, you dont even see the kick of ledge covered by a full screen of all colors of sparkles, and they dont look particularly artistic or advanced. We'll see i guess.
@Colour yh same, i love the 1st game, but it gets tiring with so slow fps, even now on ps5, might be even worse. Im trying to wait and hope they patch it, the 2nd game better run smooth, it looks the same almost. But even then, im not paying much for a 2nd game if i can't play the 1st with an update to make it run smoothly.
So its like andromeda, a dumbed down, casual big market product. Companions will be interesting by their so cool self contributions like quips saying ' good shot' etc..
Sure more engaging, in a mcdo generic product ment for global easy market way..
Just watch some more continuous gameplay of that demo, instead of small cuts from the vid here, and, it looks abysmal to me sadly.
Very generic, average, bad animations in gameplay( stormtroopers moving to you in erratic ways, making no sense), bad ai, corny generic quips, big red x on enemies, easy paused mark and shoot, bland empty environments and side activities, etc.
Idk, hope they improve it for a good year after launch, i really wish this be good.
