[*]Returnal has been dated for February 15. It'll support DLSS, FSR and NIS, raytraced shadows and reflections, and both ultrawide and super-ultrawide, along with native DualSense support.

Ooh hey that is much sooner than I thought it would be.

NIS is a spatial (read: bad) upscaler similar to FSR1

you should probably use DLSS if you can, FSR2 otherwise, and ignore NIS

nis nuts. hm. no. bad.

I'm curious if I'd be much better on PC Returnal compared to PS5. I'm certainly better on m+kb in general, but the PS5 controls feel real solid and nice. Also I have too much progess on the PS5 version.

Oh okay, thanks. I did see Image scaling but wasn't sure how that was different from DLSS/FSR2. Hard to keep track of these acronyms :sweatdrop:

Yeah, I was expecting mid-year at best even after the 20 different leaks.

Steamworld Dig 2 was really good as well, wasn't following the studio at all but glad to hear there's another one coming.

GMG does similar amounts for unreleased pc games all the time, I got deathloop, death stranding, monster hunter rise, a destiny expansion from them all for about 18% off. I think elden ring was the least discount at 12% off.

I remember getting Borderlands 2 at launch for almost half off at release. I mean, they toned it down, and most of their deals are behind their VIP program but GMG has ridiculously good deals.


Holy poo poo this is adorable.

I love the triggers on the dualsense too much to give up Returnal on PS5.

they said the PC version will have the dualsense features, just with the usual caveat of them only working over a wired connection

with sony ramping up their PC support you would hope they would eventually release a proper driver that supports all the features over wireless...

The PS5 controller. It has fancy triggers that can apply resistance to make them harder to pull when the devs want and fancy rumble that's more granular, I guess.

The haptics on the PS5 are straight up incredible. In Death Stranding, for example, the controller vibrations accurately reflects the terrain you're moving over across the whole controller, and the shoulder triggers have variable resistance as you press them to adjust your backpack or fire weapons. In Returnal, the weapons have two-stage triggers where the resistance at the halfway point is firm enough that you don't have to worry about accidentally using the fully depressed fire mode.

Edit: beaten, but I have more wonder and astonishment.

They're also amazing in Gran Turismo, where you can really feel the car fighting back if you're trying to do something that you really shouldn't, or in Spiderman where they impart the momentum of your swings really well.

On the downside, there are lazy implementations too, like Saints Row just making it harder to shoot.
