Too good to be true, knowing how unoptimized everything is nowadays.

>upscaling necessary
This is no way to live

>equating 2K to 1440p
Fuck off, it's 2.5K
1080p is 2K just like 2160p is 4K

I mean development started 15 years ago.
The only way to utilize a 5080 on this game is 4k 240 fucking fps?
What? I've never even heard of a 4k screen past 165hz

It's slop engine 5, posting the requirements is irrelevant.
Going to be a stutterfest.

>>723293753
people who hate framegen are the dumbest faggots

you can play on 720p with a 5090 and it will still stutter
UE5 is a rotten at its core

>>723293334 (OP)
This shit makes no sense
4K with DLSS Performance is 1080p internal
MFG 4X means about 70-80fps accounting for frame gen overhead
Yet going from native 1080p60 High to the above settings at Ultra means going from RTX 3060 Ti to RTX 5080?
It doesn't make any sense

Seems very well optimized. Now we wait for the reviews. I hope it's a 3-4 day embargo instead of a 0-1 day one.

>>723294095
Developers are free to create their own implementation of shader compilation and asset streaming.

>>723294337
Sure the developers who only made walking simulators in the past.

fucking lmao
Devs are just making it up to pretend like each step "up" is harder to run than the previous step

>>723294394
Don't blame UE5 then.

>>723294472
I will and I can blame both, when an inadequate developer uses a faulty engine the result cannot be a good game that is worth buying.

>>723294514
Describe how it's faulty, be specific. Discuss how you would handle shader compilation, asset streaming, garbage collection, etc. in a better way that covers the use cases of a multitude of different types of games that will be developed in the engine.

>>723293334 (OP)
It's a ue4 game without time of day cycle

>>723294596
All complex games using slop engine 5 are stutterfests.
So by using the abilities of observation and pattern recognition, I can surmise that it's a faulty engine.

>>723294767
So you know literally nothing but you're doubling down. You should think about what that says about you as a person.

>>723293834
>>723294723
I had to check it's really eu5, not eu4

that makes

yeah that thing that only ue5 needs constantly cuz how bad it is?

?
I don't know what you guys are referencing to.
The game is looking great to me.

>>723294851
Reality proves me right.

>>723294898
well at least they nailed the "blood everywhere" part

It should be made in Source engine. And have stats and a character sheet. That would be badass.

>>723294959
Are they free bleeding.

Seems like a comfy game to play on my 'eck during winter but probably won't take more than a day to finish

>>723293834
>Going to be a stutterfest.
Still Wakes the Deep wasn't, and this is likely built on its version of UE5. Also, I haven't seen much in the way of stutter in the streams.

>>723296228
I've mentioned complex games, deep is a walking simulator with nothing happening.
Everything is scripted.

>>723296312
Why would VTMB2 stutter?

60fps confirmed for consoles.

>>723296414
It's a feature of UE5

>>723293334 (OP)
if that makes you feel bad then remember that the market is still rebranding the GT 1030 with rgb strips, and dual fans to this day

>>723294217
4k with DLSS performance is equal to 1440p native framerates. The upscaling isn't free.

I hope we get some leaks and impressions from people who aren't Codex autists over the next few days. I simply don't trust anyone from the Codex to have an intelligent opinion about an action RPG that is about as crunchy as the smoothest peanut butter you've ever seen in your life.

>>723293753
>I HATE UPSCALING
Videos have been using various up/downscaling algorithms since forever. If you've ever watched an old movie on a 4k screen, you've been using upscaling. Why are you tech-illiterate luddites losing your shit now that it's applied to 3D rendering is beyond me.

>>723296648
I've seen the PS5 version back cover, and it says 25GB min install.

Cope and seethe.

>>723293334 (OP)

OHNONONONONNONONONONONONONONO

it's more like a saarpg

>>723298048
So it's the Mass Effect 2 of VTM games... meaning it's going to be an absolute masterpiece that Codex cries about impotently.

>>723298048
Why do Codex people get so angry when you take RPG franchises and rip out all the dumb stats? I can't think of a game franchise that wasn't improved by doing that. One of the biggest reasons I hope System Shock 2 gets a remake is so they can streamline the RPG stuff into something more akin to BioShock.

>>723298695
Because when you do that, it's no longer an rpg.
You are using a beloved name to sell your slop and consumers will reveal this.

>>723298832
>You are using a beloved name to sell your slop and consumers will reveal this.
Didn't BioShock completely overshadow System Shock 2 because it turns out that most people really don't care? Same with ME2 overshadowing ME1. Most people vastly prefer "third person cover shooter with light RPG elements" to "KOTOR with terrible third person shooting".

>>723298907
Speaking of KOTOR, the KOTOR remake is likely going to go in a Mass Effect style direction where it's a third person action game with classes and dialogue choices.

>>723298907
>BioShock
Bioshock wasn't marketed as an RPG
>ME2
The third person shooter mechanics are functional at best and boring at worst, the game is praised for its writing and characters, not the gameplay
People still play and enjoy purer CRPGs, just look at BG3's popularity. Removing the RPG elements from an established RPG franchise rarely works out

>>723299312
2K originally described it as a "role-playing shooter". What they found in their testing, though, was that players really didn't want any over RPG mechanics in a game like BioShock.
>>723299312
>People still play and enjoy purer CRPGs, just look at BG3's popularity. Removing the RPG elements from an established RPG franchise rarely works out
When has it not worked out?

>>723299312
>>723300027
For better or worse, Fallout has only become more popular as it has discarded traditional RPG stuff. Fallout 4 is the most popular Fallout game and it's not any kind of contest.

When they decided the rewards for saving the Little Sisters would be the same as the rewards for harvesting the Little Sisters Bioshock stopped bieng a role playum game. The Evil Route would've been easier playthrough with full-on murderpowers while the Good Guy Route would've been harder without all the superhuman abilities. Now that's role playan

>>723300129
I do actually like the idea of players rejecting core mechanics. One reason I always loved the "reject the mark" path for Dishonored.

This game is entertaining, first we have this thread and later steam reviews will appear.

>>723300220
I'm interested in the Steam reviews more than the critic reviews because there's a lot of things reviewers will nitpick that audiences really don't mind.

>>723300027
>When has it not worked out?
Fallout 4 and Skyrim being dumbed down are what first comes to mind. They did sell gangbusters yes, but they still received criticism for lacking any deeper RPG elements. And regardless, people didn't buy them specifically because they got rid of the RPG stuff, but because they were the new hot open world shit much more heavily marketed at the normie audience. The Oblivion Remaster's popularity alongside BG3 is proof that the average normie still doesn't shy away from RPG mechanics

So when does the review embargo lift? Someone has to know.

>>723300561
>The Oblivion Remaster's popularity alongside BG3 is proof that the average normie still doesn't shy away from RPG mechanics
But Oblivion was intentionally streamlined. A huge reason it was popular was that it got rid of the lot of the traditional RPG cruft of early Elder Scrolls games. I totally get your point, of course, but it feels like there's a split.

It feels like the kind of people who want fiddly stats and stuff are isometric types. If you make a first person game, people don't want turn based or dice roll combat. Nobody would accept a Fallout game with BG3-style gameplay.

Kill yourself, Paradox marketer.
You know you want to.

>>723300660
I mean yeah, it's obviously a group of shills.

I'm hoping for 9/10, but prepared for a 7.5/10 experience where poor design choices and scope constraints hold it back from true greatness.

>>723300638
>Nobody would accept a Fallout game with BG3-style gameplay.

Discussion about this game will vanish once it is released and the shilling money are over.

>>723302361
No, there will be sporadic tantrum and gas lighting threads. They will be crying that it’s the fault of everyone here that the game failed and him going insane saying it’s a success because of something that is either a lie or can be proven wrong immediately. Will probably use the “players” cope as well.

>>723302361
This will only happen if it reviews poorly. It's looking like an Alien Isolation scenario where it gets some (justified) 6/10s but also a lot of VERY positive coverage from fans and critics.

Gaylines 2 since its all faggotry with no escape from it. Anyway, remember for the newest edition of the tabletop game they told chuds off and anyone who was even remotely right wing from playing their product because they are a leftist company mmkay? (White Wolf, the tabletop company behind Vampire games.) And now their audience is just pussy whipped whiteboys, blacks, nu-soi gays and leftist women. There really is a war against one side's opinions and the only viable bullets in the war are the HR roles occupied by these trannie leftists.

How would you rate Still Wakes the Deep on a scale from 1 to 10? Did you feel it (SWTD) was one of the best written and acted games ever made, or just okay? How did Bloodlines 2 stack up against it?

>>723306050
are you the rpg codex guy?

>>723305750
It wouldn't run at all on my 3060.
I saw the world generating around my shader by shader, pixel by pixel whenever I'd make a sharp turn. Pretty psychedelic experience.

>>723306249
I played it on rx 7600.
I think I used upscaling though.
Good game overall but the boss fights were disappointing.

>>723306105
>>723306050
I would not be surprised if the general consensus is that Bloodlines 2 should have been a walking sim and trying to turn it into an action game was a mistake. Then again, Bloober decided to make Silent Hill 2 remake an action game instead of a walking sim, and people really liked that, so who knows.

>>723306050
That doesn't really answer the question. Taking for granted that the impressions of the opening 2 hours are really good -- people love the characters, the writing, the voice acting, the atmosphere, the combat, etc... Where does the game go off the rails? Even the more critical PC Gamer preview noted that their concerns were at most "frustrating" as opposed to Bloodlines 1, a game they described as "infuriating" to play. So on that scale, where does Bloodlines 2 sit?

>>723306538
>Taking for granted that the impressions of the opening 2 hours are really good

>>723306565
VTMB2's reception began to rapidly turn around after the sponsored streams and clan trailers. People really dig the cast and characters. So we have to take into account that anyone who says the characters aren't interesting is a vocal minority. The question is whether this anon is arguing the game falls apart like Bloodlines 1 did or whether it has issues initially that don't improve.

The game went through a crazy amount of dev hell. Question is if they managed to put anything together at the beginning...falling apart in the middle is just staying true to VtMB's form.

>>723306839
To be fair, "the streamers paid to play this game didn't say it's utter shit" is one of the most exciting new shill talking points in a while

>>723306817
Veilguard proves the point. When people were shown the writing and characters, there was immediate backlash. With Bloodlines 2, people being shown the writing and characters has just made them like it more. So again, does something go wrong with the game after the first two hours? Does it fall apart like Bloodlines 1 did? Everything after Santa Monica in BL1 is kind of garbage. Does this game have the same problem? Details, details.

>>723293334 (OP)
game looks good, i'll probably play it at some point

> Everything after Santa Monica in BL1 is kind of garbage.
MOAR

>>723306708
>reception began to rapidly turn around
I was under impression everyone was sussy about the game ever since first announce into delay or whatever happened way back in the day. Weren't some devs hostile towards fanbase at some point too?
The game never gonna be loved unless it's an actual oldschool rpg or something like System Shock 2. Right now it's way closer to Bioshock. Even Desu Ex reboot seems more involved and nuanced.

>>723306879
>>723306839
Have either of you looked at the comments on Reddit and Youtube recently? The tone around BL2 has shifted starkly as they started putting out more gameplay and trailers. That's just a fact. People do not care about any of the "it's not an RPG" whining at this point. Not one bit.

>>723307054
No, I'm not paid to sift through reddit and youtube

>>723307034
>The game never gonna be loved unless it's an actual oldschool rpg or something like System Shock 2. Right now it's way closer to Bioshock.
BioShock is infinitely more popular than System Shock 2. And yea, VTMB2 is absolutely leaning far closer to BioShock and The Darkness and Dishonored. It doesn't even try to conceal it.

Did we know the shill is a Pole already? If not, now we do

I want the game to be good, i like good games. Can't ever understand why you retards want everything to be shit, it's already bad enough. I guess /v/tards are such misrable failures they want everyone and everything to be like them, misery loves company, as they say.

>>723307054
>>723307081
the recent trailers got a more positive reception. but that's ignoring that most ppl stopped talking about it, cuz nobody cares about it. they're just waiting for the release and judge it then.

Another trailer is dropping in a few hours. The Toreador trailer.

>>723307054
>>723306839
The "tone shift" was only of tasteless and moronic, performatively optimistic redditors who aren't allowed to dislike anything within their communities and they've only had the 2 clan day 1 DLC as a valid reason to complain about the game.
Once that changed they all started to act as if the big problems of the game (voiced protag, no stats, no inventory, no guns) disappeared.

>>723307308
>Once that changed they all started to act as if the big problems of the game (voiced protag, no stats, no inventory, no guns) disappeared.
Those things were never problems. They were (mostly) well thought out design choices.

>>723307159
At least this one has a job

>>723307124
I mean, duh it's more popular. Bioshock was a cool new FPS game for consoles, while SS was oldass PC exclusive. The popularity isn't the point anyway. It's about how worthwhile the game will as an RPG and a piece of art, that goes beyond initial sales. Everything what we see about 2 rn is that it's just another mid game riding on coattails. Not something that will have a cult following for decades, like 1st game does. And that is sad and bad and makes people mad.

You know the BioShock game that has left the strongest artistic legacy and impression on the general audience, with people still in awe of it to this day?

BioShock Infinite. The most linear and restrictive entry in the franchise by a country mile.

>>723307639
Bloodlines 2 actually feels kinda inspired by both BioShock and Far Cry 5.

Surprisingly reasonable
... Suspiciously reasonable, what's the catch

>>723307940
When you run in 1440p in DLSS performance, the game underneath is actually running at 1280x720. Which is a lot fewer pixels than 1920x1080.

>>723307940
one is native and the other is DLSS

All the streamers were playing the PC build. There is a very slim chance they had prewarmed shader caches, but RadBrad randomly comments minutes into the stream about how well the game is running.
https://youtu.be/3hP7dCvHpKo?si=CASAxjE8E3XHd5TW&t=239
It's not a surprise that it's very well optimized. One of the reasons they delayed it from June to October was to work on additional polish and optimization.

>>723308125
can it be? will fucking BLOODLINES 2 be the ue5 game that runs well?

Theory time. I think the game has a Switch 2 port that hasn't been announced yet, and the Switch 2 port would vaguely correspond to the game's low settings. Hence the GTX 1060 minimum requirement.

TCR you're thinking about doesn't really exist anymore since they were entirely reorganized with only the CEO and composer sticking around. I would say Still Wakes the Deep is the only game that new studio made, but that's not saying much .

>>723308509
>>game doesn't even have an inventory
I don't really get this complaint. All the items you pick up go into a special tab in the codex. It's functionally the same.

>>723308590
The old composer left many years ago. The original writer/director/founder of the studio left in 2023 after writing and directing Bloodlines 2 for two and a half years.

>>723309425
you forgot
>one loreguy that everyone ignored whenever he complained about something lorebreaking.

>>723309425
Avellone felt sorry for Paradox because Hardsuit basically used his involvement to trick Paradox into thinking the game was in good hands.

For all their faults as a company, the issue with HSL's Bloodlines 2 seems to have been one of completely naive publisher behavior. They threw a lot of money at HSL, gave them very little oversight... a situation many developers would kill for, and in return HSL gave them... a complete and utter mess.

The blunt reality of this situation is that even with the delays and so on, TCR's Bloodlines 2 has to carry the sins of its predecessor. It has absolutely had budget constraints. It's not an accident that it's only dubbed in English. Paradox went from this incredibly expensive, no holds barred AAA production to something that is still sorta AAA but clearly penny pinching because they've spent so much and don't really want to double the budget.

>>723309425
Game industry really likes take other people's work, names and accomplishments and than do completely unrelated things with them, without respect or honest appreciation. Happens even more now with all the remakes, remasters and revivals.

>>723309846

I find it impossible to avoid noticing that HSL came up with a mission where you visit a warehouse/factory and get pulled into strange hallucinations where you have to fight to escape.

Dale was originally a Hardsuit character. They've gone through this strange cycle where it seems that he became a human character and then became a thinblood alchemist, and he owns the apartment that becomes your haven but he was your landlord in HSL's version. The lines between HSL and TCR have gotten quite blurry in places.

Some people are coping about Bloodlines 2 being a sequel because they have some bizarre goalpost moving checklist of things they think a "real" sequel needs.

>>723308781
if you have three rooms, one containing enough chinese people with no understanding of english but clear instructions, and the other two a trolley that will come through unless someone pulls a level killing 1 random dude, the chinese people are statistically more likely to eventually produce the works of shakespear if you decide to switch your chosen door after the presenter opened one door containing a trolley

Why is the shill such a fucking TCR cocksucker?

yeah?

How does that work?

If you were given 10% more power than a human and told you were now immortal, you'd also immediately think they weren't worth your attention anymore

>>723312910
Humans make vidya games, why would I hate or kill them?
Plus I can play games forever now, without much rest needed, feels good man.

>>723312652
The shocking part is Paradox gave them another few months to try to salvage the game after Mitsoda and the game's director were fired. Didn't work, of course.

Upscaling is good, framegen is non-white-coded, unless something like 90 to 180 etc.

They don't even have character creation. You pick up +2 to hitting x collectables.

>>723317449
>You pick up +2 to hitting x collectables
what the fuck does this mean.

>>723317579
Instead of a character sheet, you run up to a literal floating ball, and pick it up for reduced cooldown on the same abilities everyone else has.

You don't have weapons, armor, items, disciplines (Unless you buy dlc) experience, skills, or stats. Every game is the same, you proceed through the hall and kill everything that moves.

>>723318943

explain this

>>723319062
>He doesn't know what spells are in the game he is shilling

Why won't mr developer just make the game good? Is it too much to ask?
Take the thing everyone likes. And do it again. Simple.

>>723319192
no really what spells are added by dlc

The original is a RPG, if you leave out stats, weapons, armor, skills, dialog trees, skill checks, disciplines, clans, narrative choice, branching levels, and make a slop ue5 action game asset flip people won't like it
>Take the thing that everyone likes, and do it again?


It's really that simple. Taking things nobody likes, and doing that again is a fucking stupid plan.

>You need a 30XX series card to run it at 60 FPS and 1080p resolution

Most PC gamers aren't even going to get that probably, and it's honestly why I switched back to console gaming years ago. I'll get it on XSX and play it on my 4K TV. Yeah, sure it won't be "true 4K" but you know what? It'll run 60FPS at "faux 4K" and I'll get a better experience than 1080p 60FPS with stutters probably. I don't even think a lot of people have above a 1080p monitor.

good thing it wasnt a genitorturers poster

>>723319409
I hope the smooch ability upsets a lot of people. I Predict there gonna be a ragebait webm of a player making someone vomit and then useing a kiss ability on them.

>>723293636
>OLED
Enjoy the burn in in a few years
>240hz
There is no reason to have anything above 120hz, if not 165hz.

You just bought an incredibly expensive TV with features that almost nobody needs. OLED is nice, but long-term it isn't worth it. I have a 4K QLED Mini-Dot that does 165hz and it's been more than enough. OLED's are still a rip-off, unless you can get one on sale, and even then, they'll still usually run you around $700-$800. I wouldn't pay $1,000 for a TV to play video games on it.

>>723319409

Toreadorbros...we're fags.....

>>723319409
whats ysabellas deal anyway theres this ongoing implication shes an enemy

>>723319957
you're wrong about
>disciplines, clans, narrative choice, branching levels
they've made those things a central point of the game.

you're right about the rest tho, that shit's ass.

>>723320571
well yeah were vampires after all

Clever, very clever.

>>723320057
What do you mean? They added the ability to use guns with TK precisely because people complained that they couldn't pick up dropped guns.

>>723320670
N-no, not like this! I'm a top, I'm a top!!!!

>>723320585
>whats ysabellas deal anyway theres this ongoing implication shes an enemy
The DLC description sheds a little light.
>Her art skirts the boundaries of life, of undeath, of Blood, and of the social mores of Kindred society. But she still burns for that glorious moment of transcendence, when her mastery will shape a work that echoes through eternity.
>For this, she will become a legend. However, every masterpiece needs a canvas, and there is much work to be done.
>Experience Ysabella's dark artistic journey as she seeks to create her magnum opus in this Story Pack.
She's fixated on you as her crowning artistic achievement. She has control over your mark. Not sure why.

>>723320832
oh i didnt know there was that much description on the dlc
id already surmised she was connected to the mark somehow from the trophy list

>>723293334 (OP)
>More UE5slop
Gonna be a hard pass and a replay of the original from me dawg

>>723320973
According to the trophies you can convince her to give you your powers back. Dunno if that means killing her or making an argument she agrees with.

>>723320003
If you can't afford even low end hardware you aren't going to buy those games anyway.

>>723320973

You are literally raping your enemies by kissing them

>>723325414
Hawt

>>723325414
Doesn't count, I'm not touching their balls during the kiss, am I.

>>723319409
yeah thats kino. starting to get hard to hate

>>723319409
did they seriously not realize that "kiss" was codeword for bite?

Would a RTX 2080 (8gb) be mid range specs, or low?

>>723328106
vampires are all about dressing up their bullshit in pretty names
bite becomes kiss
victim becomes childe
etc

>>723328386
i'm talking about the smooch ability they added

>>723328510
well yeah
im pointing out that theyre are soulless parasites bound for damnation

>>723328386
They don't call everyone they suck off childe though

>>723328106
>>723328510
No, you absolute retard.

>>723328193
If it is somewhat optimized then mid should be ok. Look at how other Unreal 5 games run on your PC.
The older your hardware is, the more irrelevant its actual power level becomes. There is a lot of bs happening under the hood, driver code, architecture, who knows what. Actual numbers aren't as directly translated into good performance after like 3-4 year difference, gets too nuanced to judge.

>>723328750
youre right they only call the ones they actually groom into being molesters i mean vampires childe
