Reviews generally never mention performance other than maybe a sentence here and there. I think it should factor into the score but nope.

yeah but that assumes those that play on pc have a pc that can actually run it. unless its universally bad. wasn't there a game that got reviewed bad because of that? i feel like there was one years ago

hard to find much pc footage performance at all. There is a chapters for settings in this video and there are different upscaler options (don't seem to offer framegen tho). Seems like you can do 45fps with some drops which is nice. 30 lock is easy.
Much better performance than many graphically pretty games these days on steam deck.

Will be running this tonight on my rig. Looking at recommended setting, I should easily be able to hit 60fps at 1440p.

It's unwatchable, looks at it... especially at 5:30 minutes mark, there are no graphics there, it looks broken.

I Don’t Care Where (Just Far)
IGN put up a 40 minute gameplay video of it running at 4K on a 4090. It seemed smooth from the bits I watched.
Two video reviews (one using a 3080, one using a 3080 Ti) said that it's mostly very smooth with just a couple areas that have slight stutters. If that's true, I'm totally cool with that.

Would be great news if it runs well. I guess I'm feeling trepidation specifically because one of my favourite games last year (Mechwarrior 5 Clans) was similarly a UE5 game made by a smaller-sized team. And it ran like dog shit, lol

Yes like at the end of the day a stutter here or there is fine, just don't give me those giant 2 second shader comp stutters as like a spell goes off.

This was so bad at times that I had to refund it and this was a month ago. Thought they'd had patched it up by then but nope.

Hello PC people. I have a 2 year old gaming laptop I may want to play this on. It has a Nvidia Geforce RTX 3070ti laptop GPU, 16gb ram, 12th gen Intel core i7. Would I be able to?

No HDR on PC as it seems?
Also doesn't seem to support Frame Generation. Only normal DLSS.
Not too many graphic settings but also no RT or Lumen bullshit, so that could help.
Let's see how it runs, trying to set up DLSS 4 immediately.

Mortismal mentioned that he had a bunch of crashes while playing, I hope that was just his rig or maybe because it didn't include a day 1 patch or something.

Are you over 33? If so the game will crash because you are already dead.

Ok, something is messed up on PC MASSIVELY!
RTX 4090, 7800X3D. Everything is set to epic, game at 4K resolution, DLSS set to DLAA cause it auto set that so I thought let's test this.
First. Cutscenes are 30fps locked with bad frame pacing and look super blurry.
But then in-game. Oh boy. What on earth? It is set to 4K, with DLAA, every setting confirms that, but in-game the game looks like it's getting upscaled from like 480p or some shit with massively artificial oversharpen effects. Plus horrible performance.
What's going on?

Game keeps crashing for me on boot-up. Not sure why!
I tried reinstalling, moving to a different drive, verified files multiple times, everything.

Modern gaming just isn't for me I guess.

Ah, yes!
Anyways, the game does look like vomit on the screenshots above :)
Now the game started to crash on other sections of the start splashes. Disabled cloud save on Steam, but no effect.

It's because the prerendered cutscene videos are matching to resolution you're upscaling from. I heard a reviewer complaint about this.

Pretty sure it's just a shitton of postprocessing effects. It looks literally the same for me, down to the texture of the image itself and I'm at a lower resolution

Honestly, reviewers need to start slamming these games HARD for terrible PC optimization and performance. Not just include a bullet point as a con and stating "occasional, bugs, stutters and crashes".
And factor that into the review score as well, but can be updated if performance improves.

Set it down to DLSS Quality now and it looks a little bit better, but still oversharpen as fuck and still gives the vibes of being upscaled from way too low. Gives me some very early FSR vibes.
Also performance is still shit on DLSS Quality with RTX 4090 and there is no Frame Generation. So PC performance is basically toast.
Look at the DLSS registry text at the bottom left, it shouldn't look that low res/artificially upscaled. If anything that one should be crystal clear 4K.
Barely 60fps while normal running..... Jesus....
Game Pass by the way.
