Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Sifu?

Really enjoying the game. Got to the credits today but I plan to keep going. The combat is extremely addicting. Just wished it would’ve been a bit longer, last two stages feel fairly short even without using shortcuts.

I always scan through the list hoping to see Dead Space or Dead Space 2. At least, we have the remake to look forward to.

I am surprised they are releasing pre-alpha footage taking into account the bad reception to the first trailer. In any other situation releasing this kind of footage would be cool but, after that trailer, if you are going to show something, it should blow everyone away. This is very far from doing that.

@lolwhatno @KayOL77 VRR stands for Variable Refresh Rate and has to be supported by your TV or monitor. It solves screen tearing and stuttering caused by the game running at a different refresh rate that of your TV monitor. For example, screen tearing will happen if a game targets 60fps on a 60Hz monitor but the game cannot reach 60fps consistently. What VRR allows is to sync the monitor's frequency with the game's refresh rate. Hence, eliminating screen tearing and stuttering when displaying the game on the monitor.

Just a nitpick, I said before that tearing is caused when 'the game is running at a different refresh rate that of your TV monitor'. Not entirely true because you can play 30fps games in 60hz and 120hz monitors without this problem. That is because they are sending duplicate frames in order to match the monitor's frequency. To be more precise the problem arises when the frequency of the monitor is not a multiple of the game's FPS. In fact, this is the reason why Ratchet and Clank: A Rift Apart added a 40fps mode only for 120Hz monitors not that long ago.

Not sure whether I might've gone a bit overboard with the explanation. Hope it helps though.
