Especially when we know it runs without any major issues apart from audio desync at higher frame rates in Xenia.
There’s some really minor details with animation that would require some patching to get best results but nothing too difficult and even if you left them in only wonks like me would really notice.
And audio desync is probably only because of the emulation accuracy but even if it’s an inherent problem with the code it can be fixed relatively trivially.
Wouldn’t exactly call it impressive. It’s nice they included temporary tech. It is to be expected if you release a game in 2023. What weighs more I’d argue is what they left out. No improved textures, 720p UI still, no 60FPS - not even on a console that is 10 times stronger than what we had back then.
It’s especially sad if you think about that they already have the whole map of RDR1 recreated in RDR2. It feels like half of the work was already done and they just had to pull through and port the missions. Instead we got the exact game from 10 years ago.
Heard it’s been getting rapid updates though so that’s always encouraging. Maybe in 3-6 months it’ll be super refined. Keen to give this one a go once I wrap up Pathfinder
can these subpar double triple a games stop not compressing and optimising their shit again, and not dumping all of their over compensating textures and files on us? no?..okay…
Honestly, I'm surprised the 360 store was still up and running. At least purchases can still be downloaded and backward compatibility means most of these games will still be accessible.
This is my biggest reason for not buying the latest gen consoles. They lean heavily towards digital downloads, and I want to be able to unpack the console in 20 years for nostalgia and play a game without worrying if the game store is still available to download it.
There are physical disc versions, but I get the feeling even there the games won’t work out of the box without and internet connection to the online server/store
in my experience the “physical” copy of a game now, only gives access to installing a game. But I dont really use consoles so maybe I am misunderstanding how it works.
Companies are terrified of AI making their work obsolete. To such a degree they are trying to do it first. Thankfully AI is so painfully bad that the companies that have tried this are failing hard.
Uh, is there a kind soul that has a link to a mirror of any of the mentioned youtube videos that were taken down? I’d realy like to see what it looked like - talking to random NPCs on the streets ov GTA V.
No, I’ll be using Proton. There’s a chance it won’t work day 1, but I find it unlikely given my experience lately.
Especially with shader caching, it’s even possible that it runs better on Proton while bugs get worked out (that was the case with stutter in Elden Ring, which didn’t occur on Linux or Steam Deck with shader precompilation).
To me, playing a Bethesda game for the first time feels wrong with mods. I definitely want to experience the “original” at least one time before changing anything.
