add one more thing to the list:
Whew lads....no next-gen console or game's marketing comes close to this :ROFLMAO:

The game itself? In some ways, it's not even current-gen lol. Night City's population must've gone extinct, because there's barely anyone out on the streets lol. Then there's the fact that there are zero aerial vehicles you can fly in an open world game set in the year 2077. The engine limitations are readily apparent. GTA has had flying vehicles since ages lol.

I'm concerned the most about load times on base consoles. Hope there's no in game loading except fast travel.
There aren't any loading screens outside of fast travel. The whole map can be traversed without a loading screen, whether going inside or coming outside of the buildings.

There will however be some loading which will be more noticeable on HDDs than SSDs. Like the transition from the elevator scene to V's apartment in the 2018 demo, or other story/quest segments that might take you from one location in a scene to another, like V getting shot in the motel and waking up in a different place. Things of that nature depending on the quest.

I'm more concerned about how environmental objects can just fade in this close to the player. If this is PC footage, may the force be with base consoles lol. Perhaps the team responsible for the engine's asset streaming tech didn't crunch enough 🤷‍♂️

^ lights on/off ho rahi hon gi. :p

Some degree of pop-in is expected in open-world games, so it is relative I guess. Let's see how CP 2077 as a whole turns out in that department compared to other open-world games.

too soon for review copies considering staff is still crunching on content and likely a real big day 1 copy ..

or are they giving reviews not the day 1 experience ?

Good point. I guess we'll know for certain by next week if prominent journalists tweet about it.

In other news, senior level designer Miles Toast is all toasted up regarding inquiries about cut features and asks the community to wait for reviews from influencers CDPR has loaded with goodies in advance.



As such, it will be up to Chandoo as well as my CriTical analysis to provide a fair and bias-free assessment of the game.

    I dont think games have looked any better since 2019 onwards and they are performing worse and worse. Game developers have really dropped the ball.

    So while Playing Control, I found a journal which said that a bathroom is missing in Islamabad Beurue of Control. With Alan Wake and Control seems to be connected worlds. Even our city is in the universe as well. No wonder those Trail 5 and Trail 6 are haunted.
    did you know you can see @NaNoW credited in the game too ? :p

    What is peoples obsession with Battle Royale genre. 6 minutes to find a match, 3 minutes to setup a match, 2 minutes to land, 10 minutes for scavanging maybe 2 3 gunfigts and its over. Multiplayer landscape is looking absolute dogshit.
    I tried playing Apex Legends once. Couldn't find a gun for 5 minutes straight. If I found a gun, I couldn't find the right ammo for it. Got killed fighting with my fists. Uninstalled it the next day.

    I usually stay away from animes. Vinland saga changed the way i look at my life, and my experiences within. I recommend every breathing human being to watch this animated masterpiece at least once fromstart to finish.
    After I watched it, I never felt like i watched a show. It was a friggin journey. I got way too attached to Thorfinn and seeing him grow up and find himself and get rid of all the negativity inside of him was just pure bliss.

    " Both PS5 and Series X have an unlocked frame-rate here, with performance that generally lies between 30fps and 45fps. That makes for a stuttering and inconsistent output in general play, no matter what you are doing at any given time."

    With how great cod warzone has translated onto mobile. Mainstream Consoles have lost its value even further. Maybe console gaming was associated with TVs and how TV is not the primary source of media consumption anymore, consoles will lose its 200 million core audiences even further.
