Support NeoGAF

[Negotiator101]

Got the game for both consoles when it was on sale and I want to know which one I should start my first play through on

Fair enough, I've only got the Series X currently, is the patch out now then? I uninstalled this after only playing 4 hours as it had horrible performance. Let us know how it performs on both consoles.

 

[Halo is Back]

Sorry, but nothing will bring me back to this game.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

Kudos to them for continuing to fix their game. I'm downloading the giant patch now on PC.

 

[Flabagast]

Lots of small changes, like water ripples

 

[Abriael_GN]

This looks fine for a free next-gen patch. Don’t know what some of you insufferable fucks were expecting, haha.

When some people decide that a developer is "evil/lazy/whatever" they will not change their mind, because it's hard to accept being wrong.

Of course, those people are irrelevant, but they have convinced themselves of a massive overestimation of their opinion's worth

Are you a white knight?

 

[DaGwaphics]

Are there any improvements for series s?

I bought this on my xbox cuz it was on sale there and never downloaded it, waiting for the patch.

Now that there is no mention for series s enhancements i kinda regret my decision on not buying this on ps5.

Looks like you get a bump to 1440p.

Seems they took notes from the gameplay mods the community was making.
From remaking some perks or changing the way cloth mods work, to rebalancing the economy and diversifying the AI behaviour between gangs. This gameplay rebalance is probably the best change to come out of this.

Yeah they’re definitely keeping an eye on the mods community, even joked that we don’t have to mod everything now.

It’ll be interesting to see how they’re rebalancing the economy, it was a chose to earn money without using tricks.

There is a mod where the camera is moved a bit back so you actually see your body when looking down and not just arms. It’s already top in class when it comes to immersion but things like that makes the immersion even better. Needs an official version.

Downloading now.. but i'll be damn this has to be the worst water i've ever seen in a game post PS3/360 era.
Hell, even in that generation we had infinitely better looking water.

One of the changes was reducing the price of vehicles (and cyberwares), that were way too expensive. They also let you sell cyberware mods now (another change that came from a mod). Increased rewards for missions and reduced loot also makes for a good QoL change since you spend less time in a menu separating and selecting stuff to sell without reducing the rewards.

I'm still worried about some things though, like level scaling, item rarity and the usefulness of crafting. I don't know if the changes will improve these aspects of the game.

 

[balls of snow]

Good to be in 4k baby.

 

[balls of snow]

Corpo femV. Already has more personality than Aloy

 

[ButchCat]

Can someone remind me what the next steps are as part of the game's roadmap?

 

[Guilty_AI]

Corpo femV. Already has more personality than Aloy.

Even Chell from portal has more personality than Aloy, that doesn't mean much.

Which version is this? I haven't played the game so is this screenshot in-game or a cutscene?

 

[JackMcGunns]

Sure , to me both look bad after seeing The Matrix demo

Gotem!!

 

[akaFullmetal]

Finally! I can now bring out my 10 dollar copy and see what the up and up is of this game.

 

[abcdrstuv]

Sounds like mostly polish, quality of life, bug fixes, modest “DLC”..

Wish they’d talked about a roadmap.. is this it, or are they working on another upgrade?

Issues/content I’ve heard about not addressed - better police and NPC spawning, fleshing out character type/origin content, adding back monorail system..

sorry, looks like they fixed the police spawns in 1.2? And "fleshing out life paths"* with more choice/quests/consequences. That plus a monorail and subway sounds like a complete game.

 

[Abriael_GN]

Are you a white knight?

No. I have a working brain, unlike those who call people "white knights" and similar silly names.

Sounds good, it needed a healthy dose of QoL fixes.
Minor thing I guess but I really liked that you can change the appearance mid-game, makes little sense but it’s very welcome.

89% updated on Steam now. Soon!

 

[SenjutsuSage]

I'm so all over this shit. I loved every bit of what I got to play of this game, and this is just going to make it better. I'm literally going to wipe my previous playthrough and start fresh.

 

[SenjutsuSage]

Really don't want to pick this up until we get the DLC (which has got to be a ways off) but they are making it difficult (especially the raytracing).

Wait, didn't you watch? They added apartments you can buy now, you can decorate your existing apartments, and a bunch of DLC weapons, and other stuff. Guess you mean story DLC?

 

[balls of snow]

[/QUOTE]
Using photo mode so its the in game character model of the main character i customised.

 

[MikeM]

50% off on ps store atm helps too.

Xbox store too.

Lol people are insane.
Game played fine on xsx a year ago.
I actually am gonna play this again now. Really enjoyed the gameplay

How dare you not be united with us. GAF always has pitch forks ready, whether it be due to this game, or 1fps drops on your preferred to hate console.

 

[thatJohann]

I think I’m seeing ray traced reflections not just shadows.

XSX RT Mode:

Yeah. This feels like a lot of the intermittent stuff they added to THE WITCHER 3, before we got the two massive DLC products. I want to experience all the little additions within the context of a larger (paid) DLC drop.

 

[Badlucktroll]

Nice, just finished dying light 2, so i can fuck around with cyberpunk until horizon comes out

 

[elliot5]

I think I’m seeing ray traced reflections not just shadows.

XSX RT Mode:

no, that's screenspace lol

 

[DaGwaphics]

the game is in a league of its own

I can remember watching the early post release vids and thinking exactly this.

 

[VectorVictor]

Gamepass?

Not yet…but I wager in a month or so…

 

[cash_longfellow]

Sorry, but nothing will bring me back to this game.

Why you all up in the threads bidness then?

 

[DeaDPo0L84]

Sorry, but nothing will bring me back to this game.

Thanks for letting us know, very crucial to the conversation. Hopefully everyone who has zero interest in the topic at hand will stop by to let us know so we can get this thread to as many pages as possible.

 

[JimmyRustler]

Been waiting for this. Loading the demo as I‘m writing this. Shame this comes out so close to Horizon and Elden Ring. Would have prolly bought it otherwise. Guess when I‘m done with the two former it‘ll be on Gamepass. So well…

 

[SenjutsuSage]

XSX RT Mode:

Straight from website. Seems like there's ray traced reflections, too?

Provides photorealistic shadow and reflection rendering as well as gameplay at 30fps with dynamic 4K scaling.

It's on sale for $30 now. Might as well grab it now while it's cheap.

 

[elliot5]

no

 

[tommib]

No doubt DF will award the PS V being the best version for a 1FPS advantage, to hell with screen res or VRR

The mitigation has started!

 

[Riky]

If the frame drops are small and rare as they claim then we should get a perfect experience with VRR.
Will soon find out.

 

[DonF]

Oh so this is the next gen beta version... Still waiting.

 

[Loxus]

The mitigation has started!

It's going to only get worst once the comparison videos start coming out.

Nah, I stopped backlogging my games a long time ago. For me it‘s only buy and play mate.

 

[scarlet0pimp]

So xbox one version get upgraded on the series consoles?

 

[ManaByte]

You probably won't be able to finish Horizon before Elden Ring hits, so you're going to have a backlog right there.

 

[Riky]

So xbox one version get upgraded on the series consoles?

Yes.

When you start the game it says time for an upgrade. It had enhancements over the X1X version before but now its a native app and needs to be on the fast storage.

 

[ManaByte]

So xbox one version get upgraded on the series consoles?

Yes, Smart Delivery isn't just a marketing term.

 

[Elios83]

I've tried it briefly on PS5.
Finally there are many NPCs in the streets and in the squares.
Ray tracing doesn't seem to do anything that justifies cutting in half the frame rate.
Even disabling motion blur there is still a lot of camera blur?! I don't remember it being so aggressive.
HDR doesn't seem to be particularly effective in making highlights and bright surfaces pop-out.
Quite frankly it's pretty much how I remembered the game but with improved crowds.

Looking forward to see some technical comparisons.

Edit: Adaptive trigggers are supported while driving and shooting.

 

[Riky]

Series S version gameplay, looks pretty nice.

How did you find the adaptive triggers? Good or nah? Debating on whether to buy on PS5 or Series x. $29.99 CAD on both stores right now.

It's satisfying while shooting because it combines adaptive triggers with haptic feedback to recreate recoil sensation and it feels nice.

And btw LOL I had my first game crash........ not even 30 minutes in.
