Never a good sign when the embargo is release day. 60-65%

But this is clearly not the case here.This game is dead Space and more.Dead Space was always a 90+ game.The only way this game could get really low scores is if it is only 2 hour in length but that is absolutely not the case.This game will get great scores across the board.It will settle between 80-91.Dead Space remake will get around same score 80-91

85-89
This game is going to be good

Dead Space was a great game.

15 (!) years ago…

We’ve moved on. Even its sequels didn’t score as high back then. It’s an old ass game right now.
They can’t just dust it off and pour some Unreal Engine or Frostbite on that bitch.

Well, you can, but then you end up with a sub-80 metascore..

 

[SmokedMeat]

Decent game that does nothing new.

75-79.

I don’t think so the age of an game doesn’t change how good it is.Then Super Mario Bros would be a 50 score game what it is not.It’s still for most people a 10.Same for dead Space and Resident Evil 4Remake only because it’s old will not lead to that Resi 4 Remake will suddenly be a 67 on meta will never happen it’s the same 95 game.

He said that apart from that one section, rest is looking great performance wise and this is without a day one patch.

Dude, the gore hitting the ceiling and then dripping down. Crazy. This looks amazing! I love the dodging too. Sorely missed that in my recent RE 2 Remake playthrough after getting used to a dodge in RE3 Remake.

 

[Puscifer]

Kratos isn't white.

This is dumb, of course he is.

Is he voiced by a white man?

Samurai Jack and VAMP the Romanian vampire are voice by a black man.

Embargo on release day doesn't speak well. Gut tells me it'll land around 75.

And the day 1 patch, I read, is a whopping 25 gigs.

First game from a new dev team. This will be no more than 70. I'll gladly eat crow if wrong but I expect the same from you

No we didn’t bet and you don’t need to eat crow.You think your thinking could be right I think it will be between 80-91.No matter who is right we are both correct in our thinking you have valid reasons to think it will score 70 and I have for myself valid reasons to think it will score a bit higher.But no matter the score it will be a good game.we don’t have much scary games so every new good game is very welcome

 

[VeganElduderino]

Preordering a game digitally makes zero sense. Don’t know why you guys keep doing this. It’s not like it’s gonna run out of stock.

Only exception is if there’s major bonuses announced for preorder AND you know from reviews that it’s a good game. otherwise why?

Easy one! it pre-loads so at midnight we can start playing , this is one of the reasons i buy it that way ! I work weekends 12h shifts so i wouldn't play until monday if it wasn't for that !

 

[Mobilemofo]

85. Dunno why but 85.

 

[iHaunter]

I don't think it'll break 90. But it'll be a solid mid 80s.

Release day embargo scared me away from this one. Worried about performance -- I'm in wait and see mode now.

 

[Danjin44]

I'm in wait and see mode now.

I'm pass that mode now, currently activating......

 

[64bitmodels]

Because I’ve played them and they are usually bad games

"they are bad games"
doesn't explain why
if youre gonna tell me a game is bad without any reasoning.... i'm probably not going to believe you

 

[ShinFuYux]

It'll be 88/100

With some people saying "it's good but too short".

Metacritic will range it around 8 to 8.5.

 

[ILHASS]

Some news about performance

 

[mansoor1980]

is this UE4?

why cant hiccups go away before launching the game?

 

[Balducci30]

This is dumb, of course he is.

Samurai Jack and VAMP the Romanian vampire are voice by a black man.

He is? I genuinely thought he was supposed to be black and had like ash of dead people on his skin or something to make him gray… did I just make this up in my brain? Or is there some truth to it

I can guarantee you that when you release a fancy graphics Super Mario Bros tomorrow for $70, it will probably score a 5/10.

Some news about performance

Day one patch which attempts to "fix" the game, animations and difficulty modes as DLC.

This is AAAA alright.

 

[Lukaku's First Touch]

60 from honest reviews, 80+ from paid ones.

Game looks mediocre.

 

[Bartski]

What's up with this doomposting?

 

[BabyYoda]

This is dumb, of course he is.

Samurai Jack and VAMP the Romanian vampire are voice by a black man.

My point is, the western media all fall over backwards to worship at the feet of anything they regard as diversity, having the performance and voice Kratos performed by a black man qualifies, I don't write this stuff, I'm not a bigot, this is how THEY think. Or do you really believe the distinctly average Black Panther and garbage sequel deserved the scores they received? If so, God help you, you poor defenceless child.

Looks fantastic. Combat is so chunky

 

[SafeOrAlone]

Sorry to be a hater but just getting around in this world looks refreshing after being stopped every ten steps in God of War and constantly being torn away from the most engaging aspect - the combat.

I’m ready to engage in what looks to be a much more focused gameplay loop.

It's not out yet so we don't know for sure yet. Devs said 12-14 which is rather good for this kind of game. Not all games have to be 40 hours open-world with wank activities to be good.

The funny part is you thinking this will have less walking and talking and cutscenes.

You haven’t watched the leak yet I see

 

[Arachnid]

IDK how anyone can look at this and think "7/10". That looks fantastic.

I also love how impactful every shot/hit is. Everything sounds super metallic and fleshy at the same time.

oh no... say sike right now!

why are games getting ruined like this...

Some news about performance

This kind of thing is very worrisome.
Especially when a game is using U4, famous for it's stutters from shader compilation and asset streaming.

oh this will be a mess on PC for sure... unless of course they actually drop an update that fully compiles every shader before the game starts

 

[Arachnid]

Why is it worrisome? I can't remember the last time I played a game that didn't have a day one patch.

 

[01011001]

Why is it worrisome? I can't remember the last time I played a game that didn't have a day one patch.

someone who played the game asks specifically about performance issues in a UE4 game that launches on PC.

UE4 on PC is currently basically a guaranteed stutter fest, even in the best of cases you get annoying stutters from time to time.

 

[winjer]

Why is it worrisome? I can't remember the last time I played a game that didn't have a day one patch.

It's not the day one patch that is concerning.
It's the admition that the game has performance issues. And this being UE4, it's probably going to be stutters from shader compilation and/or asset streaming.
Maybe they can truly fix everything by the time of the day one patch. But I wouldn't get my hopes up.

 

[Danjin44]

Times like this I'm glad I'm not all that sensitive over "performance", games like Bloodborne and even Elden Ring had performance issues but that didn't really stopped me from enjoying those games and its not going to stopped me from enjoying this game.

I'm craving for this type of 3rd person survival horror games like this, I for one super hyped.

 

[jaysius]

7 death animations out of 10.

The other 3 are DLC.
