Sales on current-gen consoles must’ve not been great
The year is 2077.
Pollution and nuclear war destroyed the environment.
The economy is in shambles, big corporations rule over the world and exploit the powerless working class.
Crime has overtaken the country. It doesn’t matter who you are: you are either one of them, or on the receiving end.
Breathable air is a subscription service, and price hikes happen every other month to please shareholders.
Game devs are still releasing games for the PS4 and XOne consoles. Nobody has yet understood the purpose of the next gen consoles. Every other day, someone screams “but muh exclusives!” to the sky. But no one answers back. God remains silent.
Is it finally stable and playable on PC?
Without checking I’m going to go out on a limb and say no.
as is tradition with pc games now
I played it on my RTX 3070 shortly after launch, and while there were certainly some stutters here and there and the very occasional crash, for the most part it actually ran fine. I think the poor quality of the PC port has been seriously overblown. Granted I don’t care much about sustaining insanely high frame rates, but the game itself was amazing on its own, and even better having played and enjoyed the first one. Well worth any remaining technical glitches.
yeah it worked fine on my 3080 too.
Ok, now someone do a mere mortal take.
It plays much better than it did on launch.
I’ve got a 1660Ti, and it’s not perfect but smooth enough to play med settings on 1080p. The biggest thing holding me back was VRAM, so I’m interested how they address that on the older consoles, with an eye toward better performance for me.
I tried about 2 months ago, it was not.
Was it ever fixed for PC? Last I heard, it was still a stuttery mess and I just decided to avoid it.
I just played through the story on PC and it ran fine. Only thing I had issues with was the built in controller support conflicting with the Steam Input API.
There is a patch coming out for PC that claims to improve performance. We’ll see if it actually does anything meaningful.
I’ll believe it when I see it. I’m running a 10900KF running at 4.2GHz with a 4090 and spinning in a circle on Koboh still drops my FPS to 10-12 from ~110-120 (even with RT fully disabled, since the implementation of it in this game is hot garbage). This game was the straw that broke the pre-order back for me, haha. I played the original on PC and loved it – was surprised as hell to see the sequel have so many problems that the first didn’t.
Last as in “previous” or “final”?
“Last gen” pretty universally means previous
But given how hard it is to convince people to move off of that generation, “last” could start to have other meanings.
If you’re developing a chill, low-graphics indie game in Unity these days, there is still basically no reason to target the PS5.
Pretty sure their target would be “anyone who wants to buy the game”.
The point being, you can target the PS4 for that though.
You can target lots of things. And most probably do, cause if you limit yourself to one platform your audience diminishes severely.
Darn, I was hoping there wouldn’t be any more. 🙁
Any more what? If you mean me consoles, they’ve been out almost 4 years now
I gave up keeping track of console generations over a decade ago; All my stuff is on PC.
Then why did you ask in the first place?
Because I was trying to be funny.
Why are you so invested?
does this mean it will be steam deck verified too?
I heard the PC port was abysmal, so not sure it is even playable on the steam deck, let alone able to be verified.
it is pretty terrible, I was one of the people who purchased it. I stopped playing because it crashed three times at the same mini boss. but porting backwards gives me some hope for a verified status. time will tell
I was waiting for a decent price, too expensive.
