- Might be worth it for nostalgia, but the video output will be ass on midern teevees. You can run near-perfect PS2 emulation now, with great upscaling.face_melter
- On PC or what? I thought we were still unable to replicate the emotion enginescarabin
- Oh man, i’m trying this tomorrow. Thanks for the heads up! https://mac.filehors…scarabin
- Yeah, on PC. Has been decent for a while now, if you dig into the settings you can make the games abslolutely shine. The 'Emotion Engine' was marketing bollocksface_melter
- It's the PS3 that is causing people emulation nightmares because of the weird parallel-processing silicon Sony used.face_melter

Looks like CP 2077 is full of bugs https://www.engadget.com/cyberpu…
- worse than that, it just looks shit... been watching some streams and the bugs are the only interesting bitkingsteven
- Looks shit?NBQ00
- It's painfully generic. There's a lot to look at but it's nothing you can't see on a quick browse through Artstation or CGsociety. Download the torrent.face_melter
- But everyone knew pretty much what it would look like. There was tons of gameplay footage before release. And it was the most hyped game in recent years.NBQ00
- I've been playing all day, and it's nowhere near RDR2 in terms of visuals. I have a bare minimum GPU though (GTX-1060).section_014
- Anyone have it on console?ideaist
- 'looks shit' as i've only watched other people play it. so far i'm not getting the CD Projekt Red vibes...kingsteven
- it's almost got a ubisoft franchise vibe - future watchdogs but with bad voice actorskingsteven
- idk, it's looking pretty good to me. if you can run it with most of the settings on ultra, then yeah it's gonna look pretty bland.SteveJobs
- also, a compressed youtube video is not going to be remotely representative of image quality or the experienceSteveJobs
- the day 1 patch fixed most of the bugs too. most reviewers didn't have, and the review copies had a drm that slowed performance as well.SteveJobs
- so far the only bug i've encountered in 3hrs of playtime is a floating cigarette, and some weird lighting glitches (though that could be exclusive to 21:9)SteveJobs
- I started on PS4 Pro last night. Only played about an hour and experienced a few frame rate dips, floating phone, some texture/model pop in.duckseason
- Playing it on ps5 now. A man just said 'cunt', I'm coming round to it... Fickle cunt that I am...kingsteven
- runs and looks like trash on Xbox One, PS4, even their pro models. Runs better on PS5 and Series X but it is still the PS4/XBO versionernexbcn
- they will release an update for free "sometime during 2021" for PS5/Series X|Sernexbcn
- Yeah PS4 version, 2 disks with a 70G download FFS... really smooth on PS5 and no load times. would have probably ended up running 1080 on my pc anyway.kingsteven
- Yeah, I built a PC for this game and the only thing saving me and others with an NVidia card is DLSS. W/o it, even 3090's struggle on ultra with ray tracingSteveJobs
- This is probably the reason for the recent delays. They had to choose between keeping their release date or optimization, or something in between. They chose CSteveJobs
- I saw it was ps4 game still, looks like it won't be updated until next year.jaylarson
- What a game for fucking idiotsi_was

Still too early to talk much about gameplay, but Cyberpunk 2077 is a visual spectacle to say the very least. Only problem is they wanted to create the experience fit for 5 years from now so even modern gaming hardware (consoles, or dedicated gaming pc's) are already at a disadvantage without some graphic tweaks. And honestly, I'm kind of glad for it because I don't think they'd have been able to create such a compelling world otherwise.
- I'm kinda underwhelmed... Empty ghost city. We're still another generation to go until we have open world cities with people, traffic and crowds in it.inteliboy
- What are you playing it on? I've heard it's only less full on some consoles where they're having to scale things back to target 30fpsSteveJobs
- ps5. am sure it'll get better. but does feel since ps3 era all we're seeing are crisper textures and frame rates.... Not new experiences.inteliboy
- overpopulation is a big thing in cyberpunk.... yet there's like a dozen people on the street.inteliboy
- If it was only next gen console game exclusive they could've done big crowds. But I assume they had to make compromises for other less powerful systems.NBQ00
- well, the problem is they developed it for last gen and current is just playing backwards compatible hence mostly just the better frame rates.SteveJobs
- It was a similar situation with witcher when it was launched on consoles so they'll make good for the ps5 and xbox series x.SteveJobs
- elahon0
- I hope the bad animations and crappy modeled 3D character will be again in this one.NBQ00
- I hope noternexbcn
- and no exit bugs like my favorite:

Playing Cyberpunk as the female character - most of the demos that had me hyped about the game were played as female V but when I was watching streams of the game on Wednesday (all playing as male) I couldn't put my finger on why these same missions seemed so janky...
Primarily the female voice actor's delivery is brilliant, the male actor is corny as fuck, I don't know if there's also some gender bias at play but the relationship between Jackie and V (seemingly delivering the same lines and scenarios) becomes more heartwarming and immersive.
- the VO work for the girl is much better than the guy, but it's not nearly as bad as Keanu's (from what I'm hearing online anyway - haven't gotten that far yet)SteveJobs
- tbh i expected that as soon as his involvement was announced. now hearing its really bad i'm looking forward it :)kingsteven

Cyberpunk 2077
be prepared for a 3.5h to download ehh :D- -tosted
- 1.4G update this morningGuyFawkes
- im updating now but seriously considering waiting a few weeks to play it just so they can work out more bugsGuyFawkes
- Yeah, the high seas have been rough sailing. I remote'd into my machine from work and it was done when I got home.face_melter

Tried out "Alba - a wildlife adventure" that launched on pc/apple arcade yesterday. Really lovely to just run around, listen to birds, photograph animals and generally tidy it up. Can recommend it if you are feeling a bit cooked up. Also think it would work well if you want something to play with kids.

Looking at this game I don‘t see a big difference between PS4(pro) graphics and PS5.
I‘m a bit let down when looking at most PS5 games, they don’t seem that big of a difference visually compared to PS4. Hopefully it changes soon when devs get used to PS5.
- This is PS4 game btwNBQ00
- Isn’t this the case with every new console ever?nb
- Yes but I’m surprised there’s not a bigger difference like it usually is the case.NBQ00
- Thought Assassin's Creed Valhalla did a pretty good job of it... Not a huge difference, but the lighting gives far better perception of depth.kingsteven
- play Demon's Souls and report backernexbcn
- ^ I'd sure like to, boy howdy. Still none to be found.DRIFTMONKEY

So the texture and model work in Cyberpunk is pretty fucking amazing. These are from my desktop PC, with a six year old i7 4K that is, at this point, coughing up blood and a 1070 which is punching so hard above it's weight it should be fucking illegal. 1080 / 60 was out but with some fuckery I have it running locked at 30 with no dips and everything on a combinaiton of medium and high settings.
I have yet to try it on my 2060 laptop with ray-tracing. I'm going to go fucking bananas right away and ramp everything up to Ultra and sit back and let it heat my entire apartment :D
- Parts still look like Generic Kitbash Future City #4 but the overall art direction, especially the desert and industrial areas, is mint.face_melter
- I stole a bike and went on a drive at night around the highway that does a loop around the city. The perspective of the world they created is phenomenal.SteveJobs
- I'm running an RTX 2060 and can just barely get raytracing lighting (medium) and reflections with DLSS and turning down some less pertinent settings.SteveJobs
- Brand new gaming rig build and already looking into a graphics card upgrade :/ This game is an absolute beast. Feel bad for devs having to optimize for consolesSteveJobs
- The gfx settings are strange, some have barely any impact whereas some can kill performance. And combinations of those do all types of things.face_melter
- Some people with really high-end setups are reporting low perf. whereas some with middling are running at 60+ with no hassle. Perils of PC gaming I suppose.face_melter

'ucking'ell - EA set to buy venerable British games producer Codemasters for £1Bn.

Makes me feel Dizzy...
- RIP. They'll be mothballed and broken up in three years, as EA is wont to do with their studio acquisitions.face_melter
- There goes the F1 series down the drain..SteveJobs
- I've read that perhaps the only reason for the purchase is the rights to F1 and WRC. A sad end to the Darlings' ventures if so.Nairn
- Admittedly, it's up their alley and strategic acquisition, however given their track record with recent sports title iterations, I'm not hopeful for the series.SteveJobs

- they admitted they kept the consoles versions from reviewers so they could only review the PC version, pretty shit if you ask meernexbcn
- at least those version are getting the proper reviews now, people are trying to get refunds, some have succeededernexbcn
- CDPR is promising an update next week, another in Jan and another in Feb, the game was not ready for releaseernexbcn
- So what‘s bad about it? The bugs or just in general a bad game?NBQ00
- just the bugs. the ai is kinda dumb too, but all this can be fixed (like they did with witcher).SteveJobs
- my question is whether reviews should consider bugs with their score. if they're fixed this ambitious and amazing work is undermined by those scores forever. :/SteveJobs
- seems to me it should be a "score of 90. amazing game, BUT do not buy right now if these bugs bother you, or if you own a last gen console".SteveJobs
- shitty performance, game breaking bugs, etc.ernexbcn
- CDPR don't have rockstar's experience and didn't realize the trouble they were setting themselves up for by committing to a release date. lose/lose situationSteveJobs
- excuses imoernexbcn
- Unrelated: "CD Projeckt Red Studio" is the dumbest name ever. Also Cyberpunk 2077 is the dumbest name ever.grafician
- git gud noobdrgs
- haters gonna hate.dibec
- not hating, but have you worked in branding bro? yeah whatever lolgrafician
- Ill admit the game is a bit overhypeddrgs
- ernexbcn0
- you might say cp77 is a different type of game, but given the budget and scope, it should at least match games from over 7 years ago for ran on 15 year old hwernexbcn
- only one of these worlds is interesting to me. also, rockstar is a MUCH bigger company and can invest in the minutiae that cdpr will hopefully get around to.SteveJobs
- good for you then https://www.pcgamer.…ernexbcn
- sure, it's not for everyone. and yes i wish there was more detail. just glad this genre is getting some attention and will be improved over time.SteveJobs
- btw, stating my preference is not an attack against you or your liking of gta, ernexbcn. i own both, but like the aesthetics of cyberpunk more, bugs and allSteveJobs
- nah I'm not taking sides either, I just think it's a joke the game came out in this state, plus not allowing reviews of the console version ahead of launchernexbcn
- it was obvious it wasn't going to look or perform like PC but people at least expected it will do fine, this game should came out in 21ernexbcn
