Game looks fun but yikes what's the point of 4k with all that artifacting

While Youtube may be to blame, more of the blame should go to the uploader as I downloaded this vid and the bitrate was way too low for 4k. For 4k you want to use over 20000 kbps and this video comes at 8391 kbps which is not ideal for 4k at all. When I upload vids in 4k I always go above 20000 kbps to take advantage of the video quality. I've seen as high as 26000 kbps.

Doesn't look any more interesting than QB, which was painfully dull. Feels like another dud from everything I've seen.

I fucking love that chapter or location intro typeface. So awesome.

Game looks great. Can't wait to play it.

Any indication of this having PS4 Pro support? The official Playstation site does not display "PS4 Pro Enhanced" like other games, has anyone at Remedy/505 stated if it will?

Your post made me check if there was anything announced about Xbox One X support. So I check the official Xbox site for the Enhanced info and sure enough they state : Xbox One X enhanced, 4K ultra HD and HDR.

That bodes well for PS4 Pro too then, no way they will not support that. Especially when you consider they have that stupid bullshit timed exclusive shit going on as well.

I couldn't put my finger on it before, but it really is shaping up to be a spiritual successor to Second Sight.

I don't mean video compression artifacts, I mean all the shimmering from the temporal artifacting (like looking at the speculars on a flat surface when the camera is still and then watching them smear when the camera pans quickly). Even just the aliasing in general sticks out which would make more sense if were just 1080p, but not at 4k.

Oh that, yeah, that's pretty weird. I wonder about what's causing that and if the PC version could avoid that.

DonaldKimball · Jul 29, 2019

Looks like Quantum Break which was decent enough. Is this a full priced game? 60$ I mean.

SpillYerBeans · Jul 29, 2019

Thanks for the PS4 Pro info!

Yes, $60.

The "music" is really weird. Sounds like a pebble that's stuck in a washing machine or something.

I genuinely think it's the worst thing about this game. Your description nails it. Or someone throwing a bag of marbles in a dustbin

Sankara · Jul 29, 2019

Holy crap this game looks so good. I'll pick it up on Steam next year for sure

Maybe some kind of reconstruction? I remember Remedy used some kind of technique for QB... temporal injection? Something to make the 720p look better. Might be the case here too

Sounds to me like someone's Stomp! audition tape

Ciphyde · Jul 29, 2019

Looks so soulless, like the developers wanted to make a game without a story or any heart, just a graphics display, which isnt
even all that :/

hydruxo · Jul 29, 2019

Really like the environments in this, but as others have said the gameplay looks very repetitive. Seems like a good game to get on sale a few months after it launches tbh.

Oklusion · Jul 29, 2019

That pacing... they need to show better puzzles and exploration and cut down on the combat because now it looks like it will get dull rather quickly.

😂 The battle music is pretty terrible imo. Who approved that for heaven's sake...

The music system is actually mostly broken in all of the IGN footage, meaning the music is very repetitive. We know :D That's been fixed for the final game.

Sandersson · Jul 30, 2019

Looks very clunky and the AI seems pretty braindead.. :/

Make another Alan Wake already.

R.T Straker · Jul 30, 2019

I love the part where she runs out of ammo and the goon just stops shooting to wait for her to reload.

The game looks pretty average otherwise. I have pretty low expectations.

Nekyrrev · Jul 30, 2019

I feel like this will be a very unique and divisive game, which is a good thing. Very impatient to try it out.

Modest_Modsoul · Jul 30, 2019

Looks great.

Messofanego · Jul 30, 2019

You can even throw dead bodies haha the combat scenarios look like a fun challenge, with you and the enemies zipping around.

the enemies don't do much.

Good to hear as it was my biggest gripe with the game so far! Otherwise it looks stunning and seems intriquing and very fun to just play. Aina hyvä nähä sitä hyvää suomalaista osaamista :>

Defect · Jul 30, 2019

I liked Quantum Break a lot including the live action stuff and the reveal trailer for this game looked really cool. I haven't seen anything else but this footage looked pretty boring to me.

Is the music mostly percussive? Or does it just seem that way because the rest of the instruments don't get triggered?

Phabh · Jul 30, 2019

Yeah it looks a lot like Psi-Ops: The Mindgate Conspiracy, that is 15 years old.

bane833 · Jul 30, 2019

Looks ok but nothing I'd get at full price.

Zaubrer · Jul 30, 2019

Looks fantastic. I will definitely get it someday :)

Gamer17 · Jul 30, 2019

I m there if it metas over 80 :D . Looks promising as long as it's not repetitive

Bishop89 · Jul 30, 2019

It honestly looks pretty dull.
What exactly is the hook?

RedGator · Jul 30, 2019

Looks very boring and barren, in my opinion. Hope this was just a really bad choice of what to show off as I was hopeful. Kind of getting sick of this high contrast "Remedy" look too.

2b_miner · Jul 30, 2019

Anyone here remember psi-ops the mindgate conspiracy? Looks awfully similar to that game
