Free demo is really fun (played soon as it released). Was hoping for DLSS 2.0 at release but I have the feel it wont have it. I want to get it but still trying to beat two recently released games. But definitely will get it at somepoint
Demo already have dlss 2.1 I think I saw ultra performance option.
Sounds awesome, but I really fear for how well this controls on gamepad. Sounds like the kind of game that becomes immensely frustrating without a M&KB
Anyone know if there are multiple levels where they take away your mobility options and you just walk/jump? (e.g. the second half of the demo)
I don't want to spend time on this if it's going to be bogged down with walk-and-talk sections, but the reviews I looked at didn't mention it, so I don't know if that level was a one-off or not.

There are about
5-6
I think checkpoints could be better, but I like the fact that respawns take basically zero time.

It's a solid game. Looks astonishing on a 3080, and seemingly scales down incredibly well. Tough as nails though

Really liked the demo and glad to see it's getting good reviews. Most likely going to pick it up in the future after beating some other games
Just started. Gameplay is super hype and nice music. But what's going on with all the screen tearing? Playing on PS4 Pro. Or does it look like that because your vision is somewhat damaged in the beginning? Dude who is talking to you said your current condition is pretty bad. Hmm. Will see.
They platform literal white supremacists and they produced the game. In addition what is essentially their developer, Slipgate Ironworks helped develop. Literal bigot trash. Read the first post here - https://www.resetera.com/threads/bigoted-devs-part-of-3d-realmsā-realms-deep-show.281351/
Thanks for this, I fucked up and missed 3D Realms when I put in a preorder on GMG three weeks ago
I'm hoping my refund request is approved
Edit: Nice, it was. They responded pretty fast.

60 and pretty stable so far.
But yeah, really seems like the game has a lot of screen tearing and aliasing. Looks very rough.
Thanks for pointing this out. Just finished trying it out and I'm amazed at how well it ran on my cheap gaming laptop. I absolutely want to play this game now!
Few levels in, it's not stable 60fps anymore. Various dips here and there, feels like somewhere between 30-40fps in some places. And man, the screen tearing is really damn heavy. Same goes for the aliasing. Still a lot of fun, but technically very disappointing. I think it could run much better with more optimisation.
It's possible the game got low-key delayed at the last second for Switch, considering the dev is promoting every version of the game but that one and there's not even an eShop page for it yet (which I've honestly never seen happen with a game less than 24 hours away from release). I also saw some people asking the dev about the Switch release on Twitter and those comments are pretty much the only ones they chose to not reply to so that's also a little suspect.
I hope I'm full of shit, though. The game looks really fun and the one video I found seemed like it was on the way to being a good port all things considered.
Yeah, there is something seriously wrong with the resolution/all the aliasing. Maybe they accidentally released the switch version in handheld mode on PS4, lol.
The game is pretty fun so far but damn lol, this may be the worst game I've played on PS4 graphics wise.
Sold. I'll probably run through the demo again first though since I didn't give it much time when I first downloaded it.
There's a lot to like here, but... I really wish they handled difficulty differently. It's not even that the game is too hard - and a lot of the frustration is salved by instant respawns - but that it stuffs this incredibly expressive and kinetic movement system into a straitjacket. There's no room for improvisation or subtlety, or advancing by the skin of your teeth with quick thinking. You have to do the 20-second segments in exactly the same way until you learn the muscle memory to advance.
I guess that works for Super Meat Boy or Hotline Miami, but I would have much preferred difficulty that looks like Hollow Knight's.

I'm wondering why this isn't coming up more on reviews...
