The first game was a lot of fun but the writing was dumb. This is basically a polished version of the same thing except with a good writer this time. Should be good.

Because it's clearly not optimised well for consoles, he's not exactly the weird one for saying that, it's on the developers. It's Cyberpunk again which was another "PC PC PC Game".

I thought it was Chris Avellone because I remember him presenting it on stage at E3,
but googling it now it looks like he actually didn't write it and that was all bullshit so I don't know.

PC centric developer and the game has features like ray tracing which are exclusive to PC. Plus it's pretty obvious he's trying to say that the game was heavily developed with PC hardware in mind, not consoles which is why there'll be sacrifices made to get it to meet certain standards on consoles.

I think people are being harsh on Alex, although he is a PC Master race guy. From what i understand most Polish dev studios (and someone correct me if i'm wrong) are very PC centric, and mainly make PC games that are ported to console, as oppose to how it is with most games released today that are made for consoles then ported to PC.

Primarily developed with PC in mind?
If hes gonna be spending a bunch of time on the PC version it must mean its chock full of features and settings which would require alot of time.
If he was to split the time on doing console comparisons and a PC tech overview we might only get the video a long while after launch.
It just means hes doing a PC centric video first.
Maybe other members of DF will do a console video or the console video will come a bit later.

The game has a bunch of interesting RT features, but apart from that, it doesnt look like its doing anything extraordinary
And this is not PC exclusive. This is multiplatform. So of course the console versions should be analyzed.
So what he is saying is just dumb
I have nothing against Alex like most do, the guy is smart and makes some excellent videos for DF.
But his PC fanboysm is just too much sometimes.
I bet that he will be making the PC video, and Tom Morgan will be analyzing the consoles versions.

Of course the console version should be analyzed? (why?)
And what mandate does anyone have to force Alex to do a console video.
If he thinks the PC version deserves its own video its his prerogative to do a PC centric video.
Its Incredibly entitled to mandate him to do videos you want.
Maybe one of the other members of DF will do a console video, but Alex feels the PC version of the game has enough shit going on that it deserves its own video.
Remember we never got a Pshychonauts video because John just wanted to enjoy the game without needing to think about work.
Again thats his prerogative.
They dont actually owe us anything.
Especially if we are just gonna shit on their videos as soon as they are published.

The fact that he still willingly posts on that cesspit of a site, when they tried to cancel him, is far from endearing.

First one was great fun to play but never was a looker in the first place.
I understand people are hungry for Next-Gen™ graphics but I doubt Dying Light will be the answer specially with...
...Horizon on the horizon.
I want it like this:
Framerate > Resolution > Graphics
To me, DL2 does not look next gen visually. So if I can't get a stable 60 with a decent resolution (atleast 1440p). I'm out.
I did 7 years in the 1080p salt mine, no more!

I don't think Alex or John post here anymore. I like DF a lot but this place was too much for them to handle.

I have no clue who these people are. I normally stay away from unknown websites like that. I would not take their opinion seriously.A Spanish website already has the analysis and it does not leave it very well.

First Leaked review comes from The Independent in the UK!
I managed to find the cached version, won't copy and paste it here as don't want to get them in any trouble with embargos, but know the review is very positive, highlighting how the narrative choices actually have impact and how the game ran pretty smooth on PS5 barring some non game breaking bugs like Aiden clipping through barriers and attaching himself to ledges randomly.
8/10 was the score they awarded the game.

I have a feeling this game will be just like every game released nowadays. Rushed, unpolished, full of bugs, with devs promising months of bug fixes, etc. I’m jaded at this point.

PS5 Gameplay on Performance Mode!
Resolution a bit soft but textures looking good and framerate stable, FOV is so-so but the patch post launch will sort that.

Go Go Neo Rangers!
During the exodus and next gen hype every person who had any knowledge was basically run off from here due to insufferable warriors from every side.
On topic
I am a bit bummed the performance mode appears to be a lower res than I'd like but I'll still be playing it.

Hmmm. Not too thrilled about the stutter. Frame pacing looks really off.

Agree.
Last post of John's on here was a depressing read. The Xbox launch comparisons brought out the worse in people. No one deserves death threats and doxxing.

Only thing I'm noticing is some tearing, Cerny needs to bring that VRR implementation and quick.

Idiots like these are stealing views from others/or stealing videos from other channels that are leaking and are ruining financial gain for those who are actually working hard. Fuck them.Strike is A LOT worse than a Copyright claim. Copyright claims just demonetize your video and you can't make money. If you get 3 strikes though, your channel is banned forever.

One dialogue from gamespot review, at 2:44
.. « I must have overcalculated the voltage»
Really devs? Really? Underestimated maybe? It if was overcalculated, the goat wouldn’t be grilled. And current grills, not voltage.
Dialogue is already 1/10 for me

I honestly figured that with the development woes alone this would land somewhere between 7-8. I definitely wanna check it out, but I'm in no rush to do so.

Do any reviews tell you what the res is in 60 fps mode. Over on Reddit they were saying it looks like 1080p !!!!
