MULTI Bulletstorm studio’s new shooter Outriders coming to PS5, Xbox Series X

People Can Fly’s next game is still coming to PC, PS4, and Xbox One

Square Enix is bringing Outriders, the next game from Bulletstorm and Gears of War: Judgment developer People Can Fly, to PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X. The co-op shooter is also coming to previously announced platforms — PlayStation 4, Windows PC, and Xbox One — by the end of 2020.
In addition to confirming next-generation PlayStation and Xbox versions of the game, a new trailer for Outriders released Tuesday reveals more about the story of the game’s sci-fi story. Escaping a dying Earth, humanity finds solace on a strange new planet called Enoch, the source of a powerful anomaly and hostile indigenous life. Enoch also grants its new human visitors fantastical and destructive superhuman powers: the ability to shoot flame, freeze enemies, and summon rocky earth as protective armor.
People Can Fly’s shooter pedigree is clearly on display in Outriders; trench warfare battles look reminiscent of Gears of War’s cover-based shooting, but embellished with over-the-top, super-powered action.
Outriders was announced at E3 2019. Square Enix and People Can Fly promise drop-in, drop-out cooperative gameplay for up to three players. The game is slated to arrive holiday 2020, the same window the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X are expected to launch.
Square Enix and People Can Fly plan to reveal more about Outriders on Thursday, Feb. 13, at 3 p.m. ET/12 p.m. PT during a livestream on YouTube. Polygon will also have new gameplay details about the game at that time.
People Can Fly was previously owned by Epic Games. The studio regained its independence in 2015.

Graphics look like that of a XBX game. Mediocre!

 

[SolitarySoldier]

Looks pretty bland and generic, which is especially bad for a next-gen game. Let's see if gameplay can save it.

That looks painfully generic and bland.

What a shame they also went third person. Not what I wanted from this studio after Bulletstorm.

Outriders Delayed to 2021

Outriders will also support a complete cross-play experience and will offer free next-gen upgrades.

Square Enix's Outriders has been delayed to February 2, 2021, on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, PS4, Xbox One, and PC (Steam & Epic). However, it will support a complete cross-play experience and will offer free upgrades to next-gen.
Outriders was originally set to be released in Holiday 2020, but complications due to the COVID-19 pandemic and "work-process-restructuring" lead to the delay.

Xbox Series X uses a dynamic resolution with the highest native resolution found being approximately 3456x1944 and the lowest native resolution found being approximately 2261x1272. On Xbox Series X a form of temporal reconstruction is used to increase the resolution up to 3840x2160.

Xbox Series S uses a dynamic resolution with the highest native resolution found being approximately 2304x1296 and the lowest native resolution found being approximately 1536x864. On Xbox Series S a form of temporal reconstruction is used to increase the resolution up to 3840x2160.

PS5 uses a dynamic resolution with the highest native resolution found being approximately 3008x1692 and the lowest native resolution found being approximately 2112x1188. On PS5 a form of temporal reconstruction is used to increase the resolution up to 3840x2160.

The native rendering resolution changes often on PS5 and Xbox Series X. The native rendering resolution on Xbox Series S seems to usually be below 1920x1080.

PS5 and Xbox Series X have some graphical improvements compared to the Xbox Series S such as extra trees and foliage, some higher quality textures and an improved draw distance for some shadows. PS5 has improved texture filtering compared to Xbox Series X

PS5 version doing a great job of hitting that 60fps target. 5th percentile frame rate is 60fps on PS5 and 54fps on the Series X. The drop below Series X's resolution is worth it.

Played through the demo a bit, raised world level to 5 and got a legendary to boot.

Since this is coming to GP and progress carries over from the demo to the final game, pretty good

Cheating on PC in a coop game?

Since demo launch this has been a hotly debated topic, so we wanted to provide some perspective on it as well as outline our policy regarding cheating and hacking going forward.

For context:

• At the time when we reached around 2 million players, we identified 200 players who had clearly cheated. In percentage terms, that’s 0.01%.
  • We can see you all. Yes, even the person who gave themself 600 Legendary Weapons. Smh.
• We trust that this percentage will not grow by much as we move through and beyond launch, but below are the steps we will take to ensure that legit players will not have their fun spoiled as a result of cheaters.

Repercussions of being identified as having used cheats:

• Repercussions are account wide, not character specific
• You will not be able to matchmake with legit players
• Matchmaking will likely take significantly longer
• You will still be able to play solo
• In future, your HUD will have a discreet but visible watermark placed on it so that gameplay footage created on this account can be readily identified as coming from a flagged account.

All accounts will be checked for evidence of cheat use on launch day - April 1st, and then at regular intervals thereafter.

Any account logs found to have evidence of cheating on them on or after launch day will be permanently branded.

If you cheated during the demo "just to try it out" but wish to go into the main game unbranded, you must DELETE ALL CHARACTERS AND ITEMS ON YOUR ENTIRE ACCOUNT in order to wipe the slate clean. You should not carry over any progress between demo and main game if you previously cheated but do not plan to do so in the main game.

What is considered cheating?

• Intentionally running the game on PC without Easy Anti Cheat (EAC)
• Modifying game files to enhance a character: levels, skills, inventory, etc.
• Externally modifying game time to reduce time dependent features such as vendors and challenges
• Using a trainer program or similar to gain advantages within the game
• Using gameplay altering programs such as aimbots or wallhacks

Individual players who are found to be being regularly kicked by multiplayer hosts shortly after joining may also be manually reviewed as an additional anti-cheat/anti-grief safeguard.

Using performance tweaking software (such as RivaTuner for example) to improve a personal game experience is not considered cheating.

Farming is not considered cheating. Even though the amount of battering that that captain underwent could be considered unethical. RIPThatCaptain.

We reserve the right to update and change this policy in future.

Using a trainer program or similar to gain advantages within the game

Hey, I know someone who uses trainers

I almost feel bad for using a trainer and unlocking everything in a mere few secs

 

[Necrokiller]

LMAO , that Little Prince dig worked perfectly

[Chandoo]

Seems about right. Plays like a 360 era game. Probably wouldn't have bothered if it wasn't included in GP lol.

 

[CerebralTiger]

I think a generic storyline and online issues are hurting the game's reception. The latter should probably be ironed out, unless the netcode is a total mess.

 

[UzairAhmed]

I am finding it to be a tad more difficult I am always overwhelmed ........ need more hours to put in and I missed the demo completely ...... playing it via GP

 

[Necrokiller]

Seems about right. Plays like a 360 era game. Probably wouldn't have bothered if it wasn't included in GP lol.

But you're still investing time in it and having fun? That's all that matters

 

[Chandoo]

That is true, I'm having fun, probably would have had different impressions if I was paying full price for it.
