Support NeoGAF

[Genesis Knight]

People have been waiting for this, and Focus/Saber left it to the last second. Here's the details from the August Community Update.

On Crossplay:

Yes, full crossplay between Steam, Epic Games Store, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S players will be supported from Day One.
You will be able to play the Campaign and PvE modes without any restriction, but note that for fairness and balancing purposes, crossplay for the PvP mode “Eternal War” will be split between PC players in one pool (Steam & EGS) and console players in the other one (PlayStation 5 & Xbox Series X|S).
You will also have the option to disable crossplay functionality if you prefer to only play with those using the same platform as yours.

On Console performance:

• Quality Mode: 4K resolution at 30FPS.
• Performance Mode: Up to 60FPS at 1080p.
• Please note that on Xbox Series S, the Quality Mode will allow for 1440p at 30FPS and the Performance Mode will not be available.

PC Features:

• DLSS2 / FSR2: Available at launch.
• DLSS3 / FSR3: Planned for post-launch.
• RayTracing / HDR: Not supported.

Also, no DRM, which is nice to see.

Would have been nice to have it at least DRS upto 1440p for the Performance mode.

 

[Fake]

1080p60 is a little harsh for a no RT game.

Maybe 1440p60?

 

[Luipadre]

No HDR, are you kidding me? This should be mandatory in 2024 for every AAA title

 

[SwordofOlympus]

Remember when 1080 was supposed to be the standard in 2005? LOL.

This generation has been one disappointment after another.

 

[FoxMcChief]

…..up to 60fps

 

[Luipadre]

Pro is coming guys

 

[Darkkahn]

Does HDR incur a performance penalty?

 

[RiccochetJ]

I'll try 60 to start but if it's vaseline, then I'll switch. FPS feels like it should be more important but some of those set pieces we've seen may change my mind to switch to 30.

 

[Represent.]

im good with 4k30. lets go

 

[Luipadre]

I see stuff like haptic feedback coming after launch or other pc features... despite the delays this might coming in hot still. God cant they just release games when they are fucking ready

This is why I just bought a stacked gaming rig. I am sick of dynamic resolutions and all the other bullshit that comes with console gaming.

Yup made the switch some time ago, still got the consoles but they never get switched on anymore.

No way the servers don't shit the bed day one. This will be another Helldivers 2.

I'm in for the loading screen simulator regardless, nothing like getting pissed for no good reason.

Well this atleast has an SP campaign so you can play it unless you want to coop

 

[REMAINSILLY]

Please note that on Xbox Series S, the Quality Mode will allow for 1440p at 30FPS and the Performance Mode will not be available.

Dang, at this point just let this little guy die. He struggles so much.

Thought it was an always online type deal, good to know i can still play launch night.

Dudes in the console Paralympics this week, give him a break.

 

[Trogdor1123]

The game is pretty amazing looking. I wasn’t expecting a 60 fps mode at all so this is really great.

Cross play too!

Goty!

 

[REMAINSILLY]

Don't let him fool you, he's actually like Johnny Knoxville from the movie The RInger. He's FAKIN!!!!

 

[PicoLordens]

A bit disappointing given the recommended specs on PC.
Guess my 4090 won't break a sweat.

 

[Mattdaddy]

Im still super pumped for this game, I think its going to be amazing!

But no PVP crossplay is the first big bummer for me. Im a PC aristocrat, but all my friends are console scum. We were really pumped for some pvp together

Unless does it actually have cross progression too? Im definitely running the campaign on PC but I guess I could double dip and slum it with them for pvp if everything transferred.

Spoiler

Just teasing consolers, you're not scum. Love you guys

 

[The_hunter]

No DRM? Very nice.

 

[Barakov]

Another game for the PRO it looks like.

 

[OmegaSupreme]

Came to post this.

 

[T4keD0wN]

• DLSS2 / FSR2: Available at launch.
• DLSS3 / FSR3: Planned for post-launch.
• RayTracing / HDR: Not supported.

 

[SwordofOlympus]

My PS5 and Xbox Series X are glorified Dust collectors at this point. I only turn on my Xbox to watch a 4k Blu Ray every now and then.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

This is going to be one of those games that I pre-order here within the next week or two on top of the other three or four games I want the next 6 months. I hope it's good but luckily it will be within the window of getting a refund.

 

[Wolves hunt in packs]

Sounds good to me, not optimal but i prefer 1080p with 60fps then 4K at 30fps, had good time with similar games like Guardians of the Galaxy which also had 1080p/60fps.. hopefully it's a steady 60fps.

 

[Zathalus]

1080p or “1080p”?

 

[Evolved1]

i will probably get this...

 

[Luipadre]

1080p or “1080p”?

"1080p" with that sweat sweat FSR

 

[Saber]

No complains from me, unless its not a solid 60fps and doesn't look like a pixel game.

 

[Agent_4Seven]

DLSS2: Available at launch.

DLSS3: Planned for post-launch.

 

[Fbh]

1080p or “1080p”?

This.
If it's real 1080p at 60fps I'm fine with this. If it's some upscaled trash I'll be disappointed

 

[Schmendrick]

• DLSS2 / FSR2: Available at launch.
• DLSS3 / FSR3: Planned for post-launch.
• RayTracing / HDR: Not supported.

....the fuck?

There goes any ambition I had to play this.

 

[Ogbert]

‘Up to 60fps’

 

[TrebleShot]

No HDR? FUCK RUGHT OFF

 

[DenchDeckard]

You know. I really thought at the start of this gen that these consoles would deliver 30fps 4k and 1440p 60fps. What we got in the end was 1080p and up to 60.

I guess the pro will deliver 1440p upscale to 4k with pssr.

 

[Complistic]

No DRM, love that.

They kinda did.. for the first 2-3 years at least, most game iirc had good res and 60fps option, once PS4\Xbox One versions dropped the res on performance modes got lower to the point some games going lower as 720p. All in all i'm mostly satisfied for what we got so far this gen.. going from about zero games at 60fps from PS4\One gen to 90% games having some kind of performance is great to me, obviously as gen going forward, and we are 4 years in we are going to have more demanding games and this is why we have the Pro hardwere.

 

[phant0m]

lol, no RT and it still can’t do better than 1080p/60?

Jesus this gen sucks so hard
