Why no co-op ugh :(

Just finished the remake today and really liked it (having played the original back in the day). For what's worth I did not notice any "modern sensibilities" in the game, and I am typically super allergic to that type of stuff.

Yes it can be super colorful, especially on my S95D QD-Oled - so I use NVDA auto HDR / filter to tone down saturation. Great monitor BTW, over 2000 nits measured at 2% which is insane for an Oled.

100% agree been playing with my wife - tons of fun. Issue with coop is that only host progresses, however, since I am only playing with her it's a non issue. I really wish we get more games like this that are all about gameplay and not "preachy" type of stuff.

It's on Xbox pass - have not had as much fun with a game in a while. Super fast paced, super fun gameplay loop. Reminds me of how games used to be. As someone said above - "rock solid Cowboy vs Zombies popcorn action shooter/brawler - no more, no less.

Thats a really good summary. As far as Sony PC exclusives, so far I played GoW (for me it was just ok don't understand the hype) and Uncharted (loved it). Still have Last of Us and Ratchet & Clank on my backlog. Now I have to add this to backlog too... So many good games so little time.

I do not see any enhanced graphical features in trailer. It is a 4 year old game, they could have added ray tracing or enhanced graphics setting for PC.

I just wish in these types of games they would make the impact somehow visible. Otherwise it feels you are hitting a piece of plastic with another piece of plastic. Breaks up the immersion quite a bit for me.

One thing that looks weird is you hit these big beasts, cut them and like nothing shows on them. Like ripped skin etc. After hitting them and cutting them with sword over and over they look exactly the same. Not sure if I am the only one that thinks this is weird.

I meant from gaming perspective, I remember playing Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis as a kid -so that would be my latest memory of Indiana Jones gaming experience.

Great another classic ruined in the name of stupidity, I thought at least the game can escape this treatment and revive the original spirit of the franchise.

Good point, as this is a theoretical limit for the panel while real world figures are usually much lower as you pointed. In any event, they did state 20% increase over gen 2 - so I would add 20% to your figure to get a more realistic brightness. Other than brightness, I am even more excited...

That sucks, I guess I will continue to stick with my LG CX 48" that I bought back in 2020.....

Just announced at CES 2024, Samsung S90D model will come in lower sizes including 48" and 42". At this point it appears there is ton of uncertainty whether these smaller sizes will feature QD OLED or regular OLED (W-OLED) displays. If they do feature gen 3 QD OLED - these may be so much more...

Everything I heard about this game so far suggests it's better than typical Far Cry in both graphical and gameplay department. I am moving it up to near the top of my very long backlog.

I take from it that they are doing a complete overhaul with graphical fidelity thats available today while still remaiming true to source material. At least this is what I hope for.

Exactly, I am in a huge minority as a truly passionate PC centric type of a gamer that would not touch a console with a 10 foot stick. I suppose this is why I hang around hardforum. Not many of us out there which is what allows companies like Rockstar to neglect the PC platform to a degree that...

And this hate for PC players is why they will never get a cent from me.

So for those that have played both, latest version of Cyberpunk vs Alan Wake 2 - which one is more graphically impressive when maxed out?

Not for those with high end GPUs

Given all the life / work obligations and avalanche of good games out there that I never got to (Elden Ring, BG3, Cyberpunk expansion etc. etc.) someone would have to pay me a ton of money to waste my time on this "turd".

Same here, only few hours in, but I am having a blast, just pure adrenaline and shooting action - no fillers no bs.

Released in August, its an awesome shooter by Apogee - mix of doom eternal with cyberpunk theme and heavy 80s action movie vibe. Shooting is amazing, its getting incredible reviews such as: https://www.eurogamer.net/turbo-overkill-review-the-new-cyber-god-of-boomer-shooters I am super into...

I do not understand why some people are upset at image reconstruction techniques, like DLSS or upcoming replacement of rasterization and ray tracing with full neural rendering - because somehow this does not represent the accurate reality? Are people aware, that we humans do not perceive...

Thank you for sharing, will have to try this. I finished the game a while ago, updated to 2.0 today, maxed graphics quality with path tracing- and the game looks more blurry than I remember. To the point where I went back to setttings few times to make sure dlss was set on quality and everything...

Looks amazing, hopefully it breaths new life into the Far Cry concept from which it heavily borrows.

Hope this sends the message to other studios to start caring about what the actual fan base wants rather then telling them what they should like or pushing an agenda. Good riddance.

I remember my first ZX Spectrum (Sinclair) in all of its 48K glory (we were slightly jealous when C64 came out). Or years later when I played Eye of The Beholder and thought RPGs will never get better than this.....

Hopefully with the speed of advancements in various generative AI tools, the development for GD2 can be materially shortened. Diablo 4 just sucks compared to GD.

Even bigger disappointment than lack of RT is complete lack of HDR implementation (including forced through windows) - has there been any workaround for this?

I finally got Diablo 4, been playing for few days now, other than HDR looking like crap - no real issues, and it is an enjoyable game. Its obviously well polished but for some reason not having as much fun as I did with Grim Dawn. Granted, I am a noob when it comes to arpgs, so my opinion should...

Looks like Avatar themed Far Cry - def better than vanilla Far Cry which is getting very stale at this point.

Any thoughts if this is going to be better than Grim Dawn?

Maybe it's youtube, but graphics don't look that great to me, almost like they took a step back. Could be just me

Love the concept and art style - but they will have to work much MUCH harder on level design and graphical fidelity / complexity (while staying true to art design) to make me interested. This almost looks like a concept video.

Publisher is Team 17 - awesome - remember them from Amiga days, crazy good reviews on steam.

I cant remember when a review left me speechless like this - just wow. I only played 10 minutes before quitting for good, so glad I did not subject myself to this.

Plus not holding my breath for eventual ray tracing update given that this is UE4 game - ray tracing implementations in that engine have been subpar to say the least.

This prompted me to do bit of research on studio, to figure out what happened to this once amazing studio. This is from couple of years ago: "The studio is going through an identity crisis with two warring factions, one is corporate and the other far-left activists. A good number of the most...
