Journalists received no review copy for Mafia:The Old Country

is this a bad sign or a good sign?

If you can't tell then you're bound to be separated from your money, as the saying goes.

>UE5
I'm starting to suspect the problem...

>>717393902
Why the hell would they ditch their own engine? Mafia Definitive Edition looked great and ran like a dream.

I heard otherwise, that review copies have already been sent out.

>>717393772 (OP)
Is this on goy pass? Probably not gonna bother with it for awhile otherwise but I was semi interested in it from the trailers

>>717394114
it comes out tomorrow and they just sent the copies? kek

I bet the new game looks worse, runs worse and has some sort of stuttering issue

Can they post reviews before the release minute?

>>717396589
Stutter was already confirmed. UE5 stutter is basically baked in since the engine has severe streaming issues.

>>717397002

>>717393772 (OP)
Yea

>>717398246
I agree

>>717393772 (OP)
Damn that's 2500000 preorders. This game is a mega success.

>>717399872
That's 2.5 mil niggas waiting for it to be $10 in the Steam sale.

>>717393772 (OP)
devs will really give any player numbers other than actual sales lmao

>>717400204
Most people are retarded so they will always fell for the "big number = good" trick.

Oh boy.

>>717394206
Looked it up. Nope. Not on gamepass.

>>717393902
Clair Obscur is UE5, and so is Black Myth: Wukong. They're two of the highest-rated recent Steam games. Get a job and upgrade your gtx 1060.

>>717393772 (OP)
how are they going to fit blacks into this game?

>>717400694

It might run but it will look like pixelated piss.

>minimum
so 480p upscaled to 1080p at 30fps. not exactly playable.

>>717394207
No, they sent them out some time ago, brainlet. The concept of an embargo is new to you?

>>717402439
Embargo means complete ban on goods not partial.

>>717402432
>so 480p upscaled to 1080p at 30fps. not exactly playable.
that didn't stop monster hunter wilds., and that game is maybe the most hideous game ever, even maxed out.

at least these guys made their mist brownish orange

>>717402439
Except there is no embargo
Post proof otherwise

>>717393772 (OP)
Studios need to stop treating wishlists like sales numbers. If I wishlist your game before it releases, it does NOT mean i'm going to buy it when it drops. It means I'm waiting for a 50% off sale.

>>717403906
>>717403815
for the last time, you don't understand what the "ue bad" criticism is about if you think these images compare to the OP

incorrect

>>717403403
its too easy man. every ue5 game looks the same.

>>717403403
same shit different hue

ill try my best to explain the UE look
first of the all use same lighting effects
second every single model is too detailed and specific
meanwhile in house engine games have these less detailed models that mesh together much better than detailed models and assets they bought
look cry engine games, yakuza games and something like frostbite

>>717404415
>>717404508
Lazy devs using default fog and bloom baka, there's no magic barrier in ue5 that stops you from coding your own shit they just don't care at all

>>717405697
>posts a game that looks exactly like every ue5 game
LMAOING @ your life. every modern game looks the same because they all use the exact same effects. volumetric fog just looks like volumetric fog.

>>717393772 (OP)
>Hangar 13 has sloppified Mafia to the point of becoming a budget stealth release
its actually sad

>>717406164
could just be the publishers doing. white man game is seen as satanic to shareholders and mbas and the kikes that fund the game. they were also tasked in making a tennis game with black women in them

>>717393902
Bloody bastard bich

>>717393772 (OP)
I had it on my wishlist. Removed it yesterday because it has denuvo.

>>717405769

>completely generic photoscanned assets
>ass volumetric clouds
oh boy, the thing i've seen 29,000 times!

>>717406621
is that a 132px gaussian blur cinematic effect applied to the clouds

>>717406621
you could've posted your own screenshot but I realized that good portion of /v/ is thridies with old ass gtx 1060 strapped in their pc

Bad

>>717405697
>first of the all use same lighting effects
This makes sense, they all use the same atmospheric fog an exponential height effects when doing realism. Also same LUT.
>second every single model is too detailed and specific
This I don't really agree. Not all UE projects use nanite due to the performance hit.
>in house engine games have these less detailed models that mesh together much better than detailed models and assets they bought
Asset blending has not been an issue in UE for a while now so idk what you're talking about.

Ultimately I do agree that many UE games with a realisitc artstyle do have a same "feel". Same PBR treatment, same GI & Raytracing solutions and same lighting presets make them look similar. However I don't think sharing a "look" is particularly bad. The only real issues with UE are the performance and the dogshit stuttering created by asset streaming.
Also a reminder that games like Hi-Fi Rush were made in UE5. So if studios really wanted to they could probably make the rendering solution & post-processing look a bit different.

It's just going to be another Mafia game, an alright AA game with linear open world but nothing spectacular

>>717393978
>looked great
Mafia 3 was an ugly as shit game. Mafia DE is mostly an asset recycling of Mafia 3 that looks only mildly better because it isn't not-New-Orleans orange and gray 90% of the time.

>>717407070
whooa! the exact same thing!

>>717407881
In my experience Mafia DE looked WAY better than Hitman WoA, which many says it has pretty graphics.
Pretty sure they did a lot more than just reskinning Mafia 3.

Animations looked stiff as fuck.
It looks like a C-list movie(game)

>>717400694
I have a job and a 4070 Ti Super, still not playing UE5 slop nigga
