MULTI Alan Wake 2 revealed, will be Remedy’s first survival horror game

I just wanna see how Spider-Man 2 fares against a "so good" game, which ended up being the highlight of PlayStation showcase for Necrokiller

And I just wanna see how this fares against a game that CerebralTiger was re-affirmed by a demo to be a "day one" purchase but ended up going in the bargain bin, which also happened to be part of the same showcase

This being a survival horror and inspired by one of the modern survival horror masterpieces i.e. RE2 remake has certainly got my attention. I just hope it's not a glitchy mess, which a lot of the western games are these days unfortunately, including its predecessor AW: R, which I had to refund due to it being plagued with graphical bugs that never got fixed.

P.S: The game looks too good.

Necrokiller liking a post that correctly refers to RE2 remake as a survival horror masterpiece. My work here is....far from done, however

 

[Necrokiller]

Liking the fact that he is also looking foward to the game and thinks it looks good. But you do you

I know the score it has to beat

Ghostrunner 2

Ghostrunner 2 is the highly anticipated hardcore FPP slasher set one year after the events of Ghostrunner. Blood will run in this post-apocalyptic cyberpunk future that takes place after the fall of the Keymaster, a tyrant who ruled over Dharma Tower, the last refuge of humanity. The player...

inb4 CerebralTiger's usual "can't even get a 90+"

Put in a couple of hours, game is so good. Genuine GoTy contender.

Performance mode on PS5 is 867p with a mix of Low and Medium settings.
No hardware RT in any mode.

That's a yikes saaaen.

The True Detective vibes are REALLY strong here. Such a better use of the setting than the first game.

Also, Sheriff Breaker is definitely Shawn Ashmore from Quantum Break lol

Yeah, this is easily Remedy's best game in 2 decades (post Max Payne 2).

But the low health effect is one of the worst I've ever seen in a game.

I played it for an hour or so last night just to see if my PC (7800x3d + 3090) can handle path tracing. I haven't been to the section of the game after which combat begins with the cult. The forest seems to be the most demanding part of the game where frames crawl to as low as mid 30s. The game looks absolutely gorgeous though. Not to mention, the overall vibe and the sound design! Looking forward to playing more of it over the weekend.

In-Game screenshots:

Texture issues:

Any of you facing issues with the game on PC? I came across a couple of bugs such as: texture streaming issues (Gen 4 nvmE SSD and 3090) and out of video ram on a 24GB GPU (possible vram leak due to changing graphics settings repeatedly?); refusing to load textures at all in some places. I watched a few PC streams and they also seem to have texture issues on a 4090, so I suppose a fix is due from remedy.

Not a single issue here.

I did notice this jank bug though right at the beginning. Fortunately it wasn't a sign of things to come. Its been great so far.

I do recommend these tweaks in the renderer.ini file to clean up the image:

"m_bDepthOfField": false //I left this on, ymmv
"m_bLensDistortion": false
"m_bVignette": false
"m_fFieldOfViewMultiplier": 1.0 //Personally find 1.3 looks much better

Thanks! I'll try these. I wonder if vignette helps with the low health effect. I didn't like it either.

I am enjoying the game so far. The texture issues and some wonky object/door interactions are annoying, but nothing game breaking.

I just realized why Nightingale sounds familiar. It's Witchaaaaa of Rivia

Northlight is a beast of an engine

 

[CerebralTiger]

Hmm Requirements for CriTical Analysis:

1. Does Necrokiller think it's great? Check
2. Is the gameplay not turn-based? Check

I'll consider jumping into Anal Wake 2, then

Not a single issue here.

Might wanna help him out, then

 

[Necrokiller]

CerebralTiger walks into the thread and no screenshots of Metascore? That could only mean bad news for him

CerebralTiger going to pay more for an inferior version of a survival horror game twice in the same year. YIKES!

I'll consider jumping into Anal Wake 2, then

Such praise from Necrokiller. Kia kar saktay hain ab. Surely, the gameplay must be groundbreaking
