Whatever the review scores are, remember to add the 10 extra points it would have gotten if it were a PlayStation game.

I'm guessing low 80's - high 70's. Its the only game I'm getting this month.

Motion blur option I believe so yes.
FOV slider is coming to consoles post launch in a future patch.

one of my favourite streamers who had an early copy for review (I wont say his name here for obvious reasons) dropped some very non-subtle hints about his opinion on the game on stream late last night.
Spoiler; It's fucking good.

People are really lowballing this game score wise on the predictions I see.
I really think we're gonna get a gem here, don't be surprised if this reaches 85-89 levels on the ol' metacritic.

Fov slider only if highly requested after launch.

It's definitely coming, not down to requests.
The lead designer said it will come, just after launch in a patch, so god knows how long we'll wait.

Early whispers seem very positive. Looking forward to the reviews.

The first game is Overwhelmingly Positive (95% of 219,664) on Steam. It’s one of those games that is loved more by players than “critics”.

I was beginning to be at peace with this game being a bit of a disappointment as it's releasing so close to Elden Ring, but it seems like it might be really good after all.

I readed that it was only if highly requested but maybe it was old news.

Yep. It's a gem just like Prey. One of those games that will always be replayed. Hopefully DL2 will be the same.

I have no doubt about the game being good, just less confident that metacritic will give it an appropriate score.
I loved the first one and it should have scored way higher IMO,especially considering the great support they provided to the game(and that sweet april fool's day where you could send bodies flying).

Waiting for the reviews, if they are good I will maybe grab it Day 1 + Steelbook (decided all my physical games have to have a steelbook, otherwise no buy).

Game will be great no doubt, but reviewers are strange creatures, something messes with their head. Low balling your prediction makes sense.
Just waiting to see there aren't game breaking bugs. Will order soon after.

Early impressions from reddit seem good, 3 people have posted their experiences so far.
Only concern to me, all 3 seems to think that performance mode is really blurry. Obviously no one is counting pixels over there but all 3 are assuming 1080p in Performance mode, which is the only 60fps option. One even said that in Performance mode the draw distance seemed drastically reduced?
Gonna need that DF analysis for this one.

A Spanish website already has the analysis and it does not leave it very well.

Análisis de Dying Light 2. Un sandbox con una buena base para una torre que se tambalea hasta caer
Después del buen regusto que dejó el primer juego, Dying Light 2 era uno de los esperados para este 2022. Pero los problemas y retrasos han terminado pasando...

I got my copy yesterday from Gamestop and playing it currently on performance mode and it is really a bit blurry
Stuart360

For some reason i think thats actually what its going to be. I feel the game is going to either be better than peoples expectations (90+ range), or its going to be lower than peopels expectations (in the 65-75 range).
Not sure exactly why i feel that but i do lol.

Another poorly optimized performance mode, awesome.

What the hell does that even mean? How is this a "PC game through and through"? He's so weird.
Stuart360

Do yoiu think it could be just because you have just got the game and you were switching between modes and thats making performance seem blurry, if you get what i mean.
Could it be if you got the game and started playing performance mode first and didnt even check the 30fps mode, it might not of seemed as blurry?.
Ogbert

Yep. It’s the technical stuff that worries me.
The game will be good. We know that. But I want to see how it runs.
Inviusx
Member
Ok, well now I'm starting to lose hype a bit because I'm really looking forward to this game but I'm staunchly against a regression in performance modes. Specifically if we end up back at 1080p/60.
Current mood: changing from instant buy to waiting for a proper technical analysis.

Sounds to me like another Cyberpunk thing but on a lesser scale. Consoles are prolly blurry with uneven framerates but on PC especially with DLSS the game will most likely run perfectly. This is more of a Polish devs kind of thing. They are indeed primary PC devs.

Did I miss something? This game is 1080p in 60fps mode?! Hard pass
Hugare

The game runs at full 4K in resolution mode, right?
I cant imagine a game that runs at 4K/30 not being able to run at 60 at 1440p
Maybe their TAA solution is shit. Same thing happened to Cyberpunk at launch.
Image quality was horrible, not due to low resolution, but the TAA was fucked up. Later they improved on it with patches, making it much more cleaner in terms of IQ.

As a German myself I can see why he says that. A game being "durch und durch" (through and through) a PC game means it's so a game for the PC. He is less weird than that he speaks several languages, so even you can understand him through and through.

I didn't buy those games either. Performance mode needs to be the priority.

I understand what he's saying, just not why that would be the case. It's not like this is Crysis.

You are missing out on incredible games.
Inviusx

Yeah and I don't own either.
RoadHazard
Gold Member
Yeah, and Guardians shouldn't be 1080p either. It doesn't make sense. That's still the mode I use because 30fps feels terrible in that game, but it should be at least 1440p logically.
(Returnal is different.)

Ah okay - me neither then.
Probably console ports are so much downgraded because of missing optimisation, that you have to play it on a high end PC to see, what the devs' true vision and ambitions of the game are.
