Oh shit it’s tomorrow? For some reason I thought Friday?
Anyway can’t judge shit from this video. Whoever was playing didn’t even use any abilities and just played it like CoD.
Those graphics look great though, especially indoors.
Surprisingly similar trajectories. I did "The Good Doctor" in DH2 like three times and always seemed to stop there; if the reviews for RF show a complete misfire in gameplay (I've got no issues with the art aesthetic after playing PREY and DL back to back essentially) I'll finish that as I've now got ARKANE on the brain, but RF will have to just completely and utterly fall on its face for that to happen.
I suspect the review thread is going to be a shitshow.
If it manages to bring in impressive scores, the rioting begins.
If it brings in scores that are in line with the naysayers, let the gloating begin.
My favorite will be the folks suggesting they were truly willing to give the same a shot but "Oh dear, all these lukewarm reviews. . .why THIS is just the final nail in the coffin - " as if they haven't been spending every thread shitting on minutiae.
. . .already seeing a little bit of it in this thread. Glorious shartshow indeed.

Aslo looks like even though the resolution of the game is technically "4k" the level of detail is definitely not. Low res textures on the vampires, the street signs, the crosswalk, ambulance, etc.

We desperately need mid gen console refreshes, if for no other reason than because there will ALWAYS be incompetent developers.
Look at the recent games that are coming out and how badly they perform. A more powerful machine would be the difference between 30 fps and 60 for this FPS (it's an FPS it fucking needs 60 to be enjoyable)
Look at Jedi Survivor with its 800P NATIVE RES lol
Whether it's the fault of the devs or not, these consoles can't handle what they're putting forth

How this game isn't a cross gen game launching on next-gen at 4K60FPS I'll never know. Looks uninventive, uninteresting, slow, small, and flat.
I feel sorry for the developers who had to work on this - I can't imagine development was enjoyable when clearly no one had any passion for it.

The second half of this sentence defeats the first half of this sentence. You could give most of these devs systems packing i9s and RTX4090s and the game would come out the same - we know this to be true because their PC versions already exist, we already have RTX4090 cards and i9s running them, and they still run like dogshit. Mid-gen refreshes do nothing to help developers who simply can't properly optimise their games in the first place.

Releasing their first $70 game, an FPS, without 60 fps ...I hope the game gets destroyed by reviewers. It's as simple as that for me this is unacceptable and MS needs to learn their lesson.

Completely Unreasonable
Probably difficult to get a read on that by looking at what is, for all we know, a prerelease version recorded, uploaded and compressed and then saved, uploaded and compressed again. Was the original video even 4k?
I'm all for honest criticism, but nobody knows how this footage will relate to the version releasing this week.
I'm not saying it'll be vastly different, I don't know either.

Games now look marginally better than last gen. If they can't do something good with the hardware they have now, I wouldn't get my hopes up that they'll be able to do it with a mid-gen refresh either.
I still remember the amount of games that ran worse on PS4 Pro than on base PS4 because developers simply increased the resolution and didn't bother to optimize.
Having more powerful hardware means nothing without optimization. Just look at the current state of triple A PC games.

The original was better. Yes the compression is bad on these and wasnt great on the original but things like pop-in with the LoD you can see despite compression.

That for instance is not a result of video compression.Quality mode btw

I mean. . .I guess? Like if we're NOW okay with activist journalism. I mean, I don't expect this thing to review as the next best thing, but would be very shocked for someone to "destroy" the game based solely on it being 70 bucks and running at 30FPS.
Maybe if the game can't even do that sure. . .

Left 4 Dead 1 & 2 looked better on the Xbox 360 than this game does on the Xbox Series X, and those Left 4 Dead games were released back in what, 2008-2009? This game is just underwhelming is all I can say here from what I'm seeing in these video clips.

I really don’t get what visual style they‘re going for here.Quality mode btw
They‘re clearly not going for realism, but they’re also not going for cartoonish either. It’s like they’re trying for a hybrid of both and doing neither well.
For urban realism, the original The Division whoops this under the table and, for cartoony urban combat, Sunset Overdrive looks better than this by a wide margin. And Sunset is a 2014 game.
I don't think the graphics matter much I think people will actually enjoy playing this game .
The biggest problem is the weight this & Starfield has on their shoulders.
When people get past that & it get a few updates I think it will be one of the games everyone look back on & learn to love.
Things do look like placeholders in the background though like they are from the era when devs was placing large textures over boxes

This is Arkane's style and has been for awhile. Both Dishonored games and Prey (to a slightly lesser extent) have these exaggerated features, like big hands.
Now this is what I am expecting from the review and OT threads (if there even is one). For reference, here is L4D1:
Never has the accusing-spooderman.jpeg been more appropriate. Clearly.

Runs just like most single player games do, the thousands of ones I've played, at least.

There‘s no shortage of bullet sponge, FOMO, coop live service games.
If this doesn’t come out strong, it’s going to be a repeat of all the old “wow killer” MMOs: People will try it as a new novelty, realize it is shit compared to where they’ve already invested their time, and go back to their previous game(s).

A 68 is actually a good thing. It's the same as a 69 but I'll owe you one

I would be surprised if it even gets passed 60.

Man this is just sad. How can it look so meh? I feel bad for the devs but in the end they're the ones who made it. No one said anything? Phil what are we doing? Big Jimbo is eating your lunch and you allow this? Hopefully we are all clueless and this game is somehow great.
They were going for a retro PS3 look.

FEAR 1 looked better than this on my 256mb g6800gt back in 2005, how can this game not hit well over 60fps and it's nothing like Far Cry, i'm looking forward to the reviews after watching these videos, there must be one hell of day 1 patch coming lol.

What time is it?
Arkane's been on this trajectory for a while now, sadly.
Let's remember better times.

it's UE4 at 30fps vsync ... that shit has always at least 160ms latency, and at worst 200ms+, meaning it's basically unplayable

Judging by the previews, RF is a looter shooter, at least in some ways.
Those gameplay leaks so far prove the thign that every Arkane fan knew since Dishonored 1. Arkane is talented and brilliant at many things. Shooting in general is clearly not one of those things. Guns lack punch, there is no visible feedback and overall shooting a gun in RF looks and it feels like a bargain-bin FPS from Poland.
This whole game feels so forced and it'a a pity that Prey team ended up with this mess instead of a proper immersive sim.
