MULTI Doom Eternal coming to Nintendo Switch next week
- Thread starter Chandoo
- Start date
Game is cracked. Bathesda left a denuvo-less exe in the game's install folder under the name "Original"
(lmao)
(lmao)
Downloaded and tried a few mins. Some thoughts.
- The requirements are definitely bloated. My laptop 1060 (max Q even) is able to do 1080p/60 FPS at the "High" preset. Granted I only did the first 15 minutes, went through the first combat arena etc. There were some drops at the start of the first 'open' area but I imagine those can very easily be ironed out by some settings management.
- The game has a dynamic resolution scaling option but it doesn't exactly work that well. Enabling it makes the game run at lower resolutions more often than they should and makes it look more blurry as a result.
I ran the game at 1440p with scaler on to target 60 FPS, the game has very extensive performance metrics. It showed that at 1440p, the game was routinely dropping to 58~60% of 1440p. Which is give or take around ~900p. This was me standing still in an open area with volumetrics etc. I turned off dynamic scaling and ran the game at native 1080p and it ran the same zones without dropping a single frame from 60.
Not sure what's going on there but the dynamic scaling is way too aggressive for it's own good.
I tested all this without the game ready drivers, so who knows things might be different when I try with the appropriate drivers.

Played the first 4 missions. There are actual cut-scenes and proper lore in this which seems weird lol.
The game play is basically Doom 2016 on steroids with a lot of platforming.
Although I can't take screenshots, print screen results in all-black and FRAPS straight up doesn't work with the game, any alternatives ?
Also, platforming on mouse and keyboard ?

1800p XBX, 1440p Pro, 1080p PS4, 900p XBO
All consoles use dynamic scaling to maintain performance and do a pretty decent job.
Chandoo forgot to post it so here goes.
Higher resolution and more stable frame rates on the One X compared to Pro.
Still, Doom on a controller......

^ DF video is 2 posts above 
Doom on controller :wub:
This game has more platforming than your typical Uncharted game, all that on KB+Mouse will become grating real quick, I'm telling you.

^Not the VG Tech video
Its not like you played the Doom game without all that platforming on a mouse/kb anyway so kind of hard to take that advice seriously
Regardless, its friggin Doom and you're always in first person perspective so controller will always be a subpar choice. Now games like Ori, an actual platformer, I finished them entirely on a controller because I don't see any meaningful benefits from a keyboard setup.

Half Life still seems far away, and got done with Ori earlier than I anticipated.
So let's rip and tear for the time being.
Soooo grating

I don't know how i feel about the game showing so many third person cut-scenes with Doom Slayer. Kinda takes from the mystique.
The first person cut-scenes are equally effective at conveying the story without needing to show the Slayer.

Phil should be held responsible for this shitfest too, just like Sarah, but it's highly likely that these decisions are coming from Satya. And this isn't even the end of it. More closures are coming.

SolitarySoldier:
if we are moving towards more and more popular trash across platforms that make billions for companies, I'm happy with all the barriers and exclusivity because at least that brings some pressure to create good stuff. -
SolitarySoldier:
Phil keeps talking about breaking barriers to gaming, making it accessible on all platforms yada yada, while killing competition and creativity at the same time. the fact that i actually believed him for a second lol

SolitarySoldier:
"These changes are not a reflection of the creativity and skill of the talented individuals at these teams or the risks they took to try new things" ... seems to me that's exactly what it is

Microsoft deserves all the hate they can get. Seriously i can't explain how much i want to curse them out. -
XPremiuM:
They could've sold the studios instead of closing them, but the nazi bastards just didn't want competition down the road.
-
XPremiuM:
What's the f*** is wrong with them? I mean really? Have they completely lost it? F***ing retards.
-
XPremiuM:
So i just found out that f***ing s***bag Microsoft shut down Arkane Studio (makers of the brilliant Dishonored series) and Tango Gameworks (makers of the iconic The Evil Within series), among some other studios. I just want to say a giant F*** Y**! to Microsoft. THEY'VE F***ED UP BIG TIME this time.

XPremiuM:
Started Dead Island 2, and i find it pretty lame. The story is shit. The characters are either cringe or bland (all 6 of them), The gameplay isn't fun. Even the goddamn zombies don't behave like proper zombies. They're all fast & intelligent unlike how zombies are supposed to be like. Any fan of "zombie" genre cannot possibly like this shitfest of a game. Dying Light 2 was million times better than this shit.

tbh gaming industry as a whole is failing much like tech industry. They have buckled down too much to Corporate suites then relying on passionate and innovative people. A corporate only believes in financial growth and shareholders.Necrokiller said:
