acksplode posted:It's weird how Watch Dogs 2 makes me feel both more and less hopeful about Ubisoft. It has more personality and quality than anything they've released in a long while, but almost none of that inspiration appears in the game design. The handful of novel mechanics don't get explored in much depth. There's a really cool robot-stealth-hacking-social-engineering game in there that got crammed into a shallow GTA mold and glittered with map icons. Agreed 100% Just given the detail of the world, I often found myself imagining what it would be like playing a more interesting game on the same map. Someone really needs to have the balls to make a big open world game that smashes the played out GTA Icon hunting structure. It's just so done to death.

some dude on NeoGAF posted:OK beast mode is fantastic. Have tested People on NeoGAF are testing and posting videos of games using Boost Mode. I'm sure Digital Foundry will spend the next month doing exhaustive tests, but it looks like it can make a solid difference for some games.

Skeematic posted:Does this essentially mean you just go to your friends house, add your account, plug in hdd, and your good to go? Correct. This will also work if they have a digital license, or if you're using a disc (and your install is from a disc) instead of adding your own account. Currently there isn't a "copy" option, only a "move" option, though.

The level of detail was just amazing and really impressive on its own, how much cooler would it have been if you were actually playing a narrative within that world instead of shooting respawning convicts for loot.

Boost mode looks like it really helps Witcher 3- no stuttering in the swamps or Novigrad. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ho4UzZlzzX0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zhKujHqK6gE

univbee posted:I don't think any drive out there saturates SATA III. NVMe drives sure as heck do, but they're also not connected through SATA III. They're either PCI-e or M.2 based, neither of which, unfortunately, you can make work on a PS4 without buying a converter to SATA III, at which point you may as well just buy a SATA III SSD for half the $/GB.

I wonder if they didn't expect developers to be like "no, we aren't doing that unprofitable extra work for an old game" Or are they worried about Scorpio (Whose actual specs and price is still unknown at this point, right?)

Healbot posted:Only a five month wait for this feature that will make Pro patches superfluous, good job Sony. Not really, the checkbox won't enable larger framebuffers or supersampling or LOD levels or etc, nor will it overcome a framerate cap the game is enforcing itself. It's overclocking, it won't change what the game is trying to do. Billy Gnosis posted:I wonder if they didn't expect developers to be like "no, we aren't doing that unprofitable extra work for an old game" Or are they worried about Scorpio (Whose actual specs and price is still unknown at this point, right?) I suspect they've had their QA teams trying it with various games and found few enough problems that they felt comfortable shipping it with a "use at your own risk" disclaimer in case some obscure title they didn't test acts up. haveblue fucked around with this message at 21:43 on Feb 3, 2017 |

i would be very interested to see what happens in games that have uncapped framerates and no pro patches now. the only ones i know of with uncapped modes are hitman and nioh but i think both are pro patched so boost mode won't work
