Red Dead Redemption 2 - Trailer Breakdown

[LowPolyOWG]

Already dealing with that through UBI*bleep**bleep*/EA/Activi$ion. Funnily, Denuvo is easily cracked with every release

However, I haven't seen any game getting negatively impacted by Denuvo performance wise.

No doubt there will be the obligatory day-one patch (with more to follow), for both FC5 and RDR2. That always tells me that a game hasn't been completely finished before release. But that seems to be the case with pretty much all of them these days. No Man's Sky took that practice to a whole new level when it originally released It was like half the game was still yet to come.

I guess that's the way of the gaming industry now, so we just have to live with it. Doesn't mean we have to like it though.

it was a much safer bet to start playing Fallout 4 like over a year after its original release. Essentially, the bugs had been ironed out and mods fixed the rest. And the game was on offer, over 50% off. Same with Hitman (except there are no mods)

Bugthesda has always been that studio...

Kotaku on day 1 patches. Seems like devs has to do day 1 patches due to Sony/MS. You don't want your game software to break OS version 1.0.2 if you initially compiled it for 1.01 and it must survive stuff such as task switching/plugging in-out controllers and anything else without screwing up the console. Certification takes a long time too. I read a reddit comment saying if something in a game was broken on the PS4, but works perfectly on Xbox: Forget about releasing that, the programmers may need to rewrite the code on both platforms, dspite the error being found on 1 of 2 platforms. The FC5 demo played early by youtubers is still the old E3 build from last year, but slightly modified.

NMS was a rush job. Should've been a Steam early access game first, then I could get behind the lack of launch content. They could then release NMS on the consoles one year later. I believe the upper suits at Sony pushed them to release it and perhaps the team lacked direction/manpower. Kind of make me feel sorry for them, they had a great concept, but were forced to release it in a terrible state...

RDR2 coming out in October



I expect a PC version in 2019 then

[Art Blade]

that's a long way down the road.

Yes it is, but we all have plenty of games to keep us amused until then 

[LowPolyOWG]

Yep, but I would not be surprised if they announce a PC version on E3 2018.

[BinnZ]

I certainly hope so GKID, but I think they won't say anything about a PC version before it has actually released on PS4 and xbox one. They never did that

[BinnZ]

The screenshots look amazing though!

[LowPolyOWG]

Yeah

[BinnZ]

Forgot to mention, I find it quite nice the humble tone in which they apologize for the delay, explaining that they want to deliver a well polished game that is complete! No rush, quality. That's style
