Support NeoGAF

[Draugoth]

The upcoming Soulslike game by CI Games, Lords of the Fallen, is set for its release and from what’s visible, the game will support Nvidia DLSS 3 Frame Generation as well as AMD FSR 3.0 at launch.

Apart from this, the game uses the latest generation of Unreal Engine 5, which is a game changer. Lords of the Fallen will use the new global illumination system – Lumen, which is far superior to the older methods. Not only this, the game is integrated with UE5’s Chaos Physics, and hence we will see a major difference when it comes to the simulation of characters and their clothing.

The screenshot (embedded below) is taken from Lirik’s Twitch stream. Lirik is a popular streamer who has got his hands on Lords of the Fallen’s first wave of early access. The information wasnt officially confirmed.

Game looks so noisy, i dont really like how it looks. Also the combat is not that great sadly, a bit floaty and weightless with bad hit sounds effects

Ususally it really needs to be played to get a feel for the game and if it blends all of the important things correctly.

These guys making me want to buy their game. Thanks to Lumen we should now see a lot more games on console with raytraced lighting.

What are you doing? This was our chance to explain the multiverse to him.

Yes, almost a decade ago there was a similar title by this name released on PS4, XBO, and PC.

This is a second attempt by a different dev studio.

Yes

 

[clarky]

Yep reality check. I've wasted yet another decade on drink, drugs, travelling, women and videogames.

Good times.

 

[March Climber]

What the actual fuck.

A lot of people started playing the original game in late 2016, when it was a free monthly game on PS Plus. That's probably why so many associate it with other mid-generation PS4 games.

Game is not a looker on console, atleast in performance mode. Low resolution upscale with fsr probably, performance problems, dull lighting and missing shadows/ AO makes some scenes looks super bland

PS5 footage is available, and while not super extreme PC setting parity - it actually looks great.

You’d probably love cloud gaming.

Wait is this out already? Thought it was later in the month for some reason.

Out for streamers only atm. Its coming this friday

 

[Zathalus]

Unreal 5 with Lumen? I assume this drops to 720p on console as well. Hopefully they don't have stutter issues on PC. Layers, Remnant, and Immortals of Aveum had none so I hope that trend holds.

 

[Blackwee]

FSR3 day one?

 

[phvk]

The combat and movement is extremely floaty and lacks a sense of physicality in the animations when you attack an enemy and their reaction to being hit. I tried it out for 30 mins a few days ago and couldn’t get over that. I refunded it.
