I've only seen bits and pieces of the movie but it looks like it has a lot of charm from what I saw. Kinda weird that Sony would sell the rights to it.
Every time I see Bubsy come back in some form, I get disappointed cause it's getting more attention then so many other ips that lay dead/dormant for years.
Regarding the first game, I liked the way the combat felt and the overall atmosphere/art direction was really good, but I really don't like how they implemented the lamp's mechanics, and the fact that some of the bosses are really bad.
Hopefully the sequel can improve on some of the lower points of the first game.
Also I've accepted long ago that the game is just going to have performance issues and have to live with it. I'm on pc and the only time the game really runs poorly are at a few of the camps but that's really it.
@Bsb56 I play on a PC I built last year with a 4070 ti Super/12th gen CPU and while most UE5 games run well for me, there are a small handful that seem to have quite a bit of stuttering and crashing issues. Thing is, if the game isn't well optimized when it's utilizing UE5, it seems to run into a lot of technical issues.
I generally don't bash UE5, but issues seem to arise more on this engine compared to prior iterations. I can live with stuttering, I did with Wuchang for example, but when there's crashes involved, it gets a bit old, especially when crashes impede playing the game.
Hopefully when the devs release this, things can be ironed out on the technical side of things and the game runs smooth and doesn't crash.
I've heard that the writer for the game does this in a lot of the horror stories he wrote, where the stories have multiple twists and moments where the story almost resets and the protagonist has prior knowledge of what happened.
It's really cool and makes me excited for the game.
The last few patches seemed to have improved some of the stuttering issues that I've been having, the only real stuttering I have now is when you go to a new area and it has to load, but it's nothing terrible.
Granted I'm on PC so my experience is always different compared to PS5/Pro players.
@Oram77 Granted DK Bananza is a GotY contender and that game has a ton of framerate drops all over the game. It just depends on how much it detracts from the experience, which is different for each player.
Stellar Blade is optimized very very well on both console and PC, so I agree on giving Shift Up props on that one.
