I would pretty well expect the game to run at 4K 120 fps considering it's pushing less than 100 polygons.

Honestly, this Remaster was not necessary. I think the old pixelated look is just better. I really dislike the cartoon-ised cutscenes, they lose the art style of the original.

579M of which were probably snagged by Blue's News readers. Probably.

An excellent game, one of the biggest Epic freebies considering it only came out 2 years ago. Snagged.

None, because it's actually great to play single player especially with the new AI updates. But to play with real life buddies, it's a full team of 5.

Not sure why all the negativity in these comments - I think the game is outstanding, especially if you were big into SWAT 4 back in the day. The devs have honestly done a great job and listened to the community feedback. If you watch youtube milsim players they tend to agree the game is great at what it does. There are around 20 maps and each one has so much replayability. They are also insanely detailed and each really tells a story if you look at the notes and drawings. The AI is much improved, to the point where you can have your team complete the mission while you just watch, and the way they move and aim is so much more realistic than bots you see in other games. What sets the game apart from most others in the genre is the tension from avoiding civilian casualties, so you can't just go in blasting, you have to make split second decisions in addition to hitting valid targets. The main thing I wish they would add, which others also point out, is some slider for AI difficulty, because it is at times unrealistic how 'hardened' enemies are - not surrendering, having reflexes of a 12 year old CSGO player, etc.

To the guy who said enemies are bullet sponges - you'd be surprised how many shots it can take to actually drop someone in real life, unless you hit the head, heart or spine, they will often keep going for a good few seconds not even realizing they've been shot. This game isn't like other shooters where it will always take 2 shots to the body to insta-kill; it really depends where exactly you hit them, and whether you're using hollow point rounds, etc.

Polish and turds come to mind. Maybe a bit of an exaggeration, but the game is just pretty soulless and once you discover the few towns in the game you realise it's not nearly as big or as interesting as you thought it would be. Ridiculous the game didn't have town maps at launch, and wasn't it supposed to have mod support from the start?

It's a shame what they did with Hell Let Loose after their acquisition. It just feels like bad management and not really understanding the games you're buying and their communities.

I'm still not sure what is giving you the idea that it (FG) will simply work on all DX11/DX12 games? It won't. Not even on RX 7000 cards.

Because in the stage presentation he expressly said it would work across all DX11 and 12 games at a driver level. No dev implementation required. Per Euro gamer article: "AMD Fluid Motion Frames (AFMF), which is a driver-level frame generation option for all DirectX 11 and DirectX 12 titles". He also said it would work with "thousands of games". Also, I'm reading conflicting articles where some say it will be available on 5000 series radeon and above, and also RTX 2000 and above, so not limited to 7000 series radeon.

The biggest take away from all this is that AMD are promising frame generation / interpolation for every DX 11 and 12 game, across ALL graphics cards. Coming 1Q24 apparently. Frame generation is currently only available on Nvidia 40xx cards and with a very limited number of games.

What?

FSR 3 still needs to be supported per game, of course, and it will certainly not just magically work with every DX11/12 game.

I corrected myself above regarding FG (not FSR 3), which will work on all DX 11 and 12 games but only with Radeon 7000+ series cards. I didn't touch on FSR 3, which will work on all cards but, as you say, only with games that support it.

No, it's gonna be tied to the driver/adrenaline software and be limited to some AMD GPUs ( rumors are RDNA3 and up only ).

Only the dedicated game implementations will be compatible with all GPUs.

Oh, seems you're right about that. 7000 Radeons and above. But at least it can be used in way more games than DLSS 3. And FSR 3 is GPU-agnostic.

It wouldn't be a Stalker game if it weren't delayed at least a couple times. The original was released 6 years after it was first announced. It was also one of my favourite games of all time. The AI gave it endless replayability - I'd replay the same section over and over and it would play out differently each time.

Quake II was the first game where I witnessed hardware texture alpha blending, coloured lighting and smooth frame rates, by way of my 3DFX Voodoo card. It was mind-blowing back in 1997.

This could be cool, but it could also be janky. All depends on how good the controls are, but it being a Riders Republic expansion it will be on the extreme arcade style.

For better or worse it looks like they've gone back to the original style of AC. Glad they have got rid of the level system where enemies have a number over their head, that shit was dumb. And he said they are leaning more towards stealth. We will see. It did just look very much like AC 2, same obstacles to traverse and swing round corners, which makes me think they won't be coming with anything fresh. The gameplay they showed had nothing new in it, aside from the insta-kill deadeye thing where he is somehow able to jump a 50 foot gap in the blink of an eye..

Looks heavily scripted, and very on rails. However that's not necessarily a bad thing as long as the gameplay is good and consistent.

Yeah I got this impression - it looked more like a vertical slice gameplay because certain bits just looked scripted and added in, like the way the bad guy reacts when you're spotted near the start, or the ship flying directly overhead when you're riding the bike towards the outpost. Some of the dialogue also seemed like it was added on.

It did look gorgeous though, and the gameplay could end up being pretty good. I liked the main character and the critter. Pretty hyped for this game now, but I still have a Ubisoft suspicion.

Hopefully it's like a true open world and not too linear - I was getting Red Dead vibes from it. They need to get the AI working flawlessly then it could be pretty Immersive. It's pretty crazy that it's taken this long to finally come out with the first open world Star Wars game.

Far Pandora. Didn't take Gamespot long to pick up on this.

I instantly got Far Cry vibes from it, then as Gamespot's Lucy pointed out, the animation with the fuse box was such a Far Cry thing you wonder why they put that in. Then of course the bit where you clear outposts and scan and tag enemies... God damn it. I just hope the story and writing isn't as cheesy as the far cry games. The Avatar universe has a lot of potential here to differentiate from a lot of games so I hope they lean more towards the na'vi side than the run and gun Far Cry because the world doesn't need another basic shooter right now.
