Preordered the deluxe edition and I never preorder ,I haven't been looking forward to a game this much for years and years , I will be very disappointed if its a steaming turd.
@Colour they want a world wide launch, everybody gets to play at the same time,i suspect it has something to do with fact that some people have the game early but they've implemented a lock on it until your countries release date , probably to much hassle to unlock it at different times for everyone , rockstar should do this to stop spoilers.
@PaperAlien to factions have a fight , one faction is separated or dead, its up to you to bring everyone together again as they are scattered across the land , there's also the mysterious abyss thats causing chaos across the land , why it is and what it is i have no clue
@LowDefAl who would trust more the makers of the game or a trusted tech channel like DF known for there in depth analysis, the game might change slightly i have a feeling the enemies on bug hill that was shown might be reduced to improve fps , other than that I doubt there will be any drastic changes , the god awful screen tearing was still there with v sync enabled in this build, so I dont think theyre trying to hide anything.
@pyrrhic_victory 2 other characters a big orc with an axe and machine gun, and a stellar blade style woman with a sword and rifle , these characters can be used to do side missions and explore the open world but not story missions , they also have there own specific mounts, kliff has a dragon, the orc a jet pack and its not been revealed what the woman has ,however there is a screenshot of the character select screen , with 2 more empty slots , are there other characters, maybe , maybe not.
@Lup not really , it looks no harder than the usual , manipulation puzzles by the looks of it ,move blocks to open a door, use skills to unlock a path , for example there was a tower you had to enter , blocking the way was vines, you could either shoot a fire arrow at them to burn them away , or think outside the box, your sword has the ability to reflect light from the sun, usually used to blind opponents , however you can also use it to start fires , like a magnifying glass, so use that to burn away the vines , its multiple ways to solve puzzles that was one of the reasons,I was sold on the game
I've ate nothing but crimson desert over the last two months , and i feel its going to be something special , I love exploring so it looks like the game for me , also it has a god damn jet pack ,im going to be a medieval iron man, i feel ign will give it a 6 though ð
@RedRiot193 I tried to read your comment, but felt like id fell into a dungeon and dragons game , some dungeon master riddle me this sh*t going on there
@BentIeyma yes i do believe all gamers visit push square, all of them in the whole wide world....but enough of this ,you need to tell me more of this gargantuan bucket of yours
@RedRiot193 but youll be downloading it on pc , whats the difference , it wont fit on a single disc so you need to download the rest , I really dont see the issue, you've cancelled your order for ps5 because you have to download some of the game once , but youll download all of the game on pc , sounds a bit mental that.
@gamer153 I dont get why having to download a 30/40gb update would deter you from buying a game that youre interested in , the whole game cant fit on the disc so an update is required , what exactly are you waiting to see for ?
@OldGamer999 from what i understand its a toggle to enable pssr2 in the settings,it'll be a upgrade at system level
, once turned on all games that use pssr will automatically use pssr2 , thats what I heard, I dont know how it works , probably some sort of magic ð
I found this https://blog.playstation.com/2026/02/27/upgraded-pssr-upscaler-is-coming-to-ps5-pro/
@nessisonett it was probably planned to add it i doubt they just woke up and thought oh no we've no pirate protection, its just that theyve only just decided to announce it , a week of pc man babies is better than a month of them.
@Eek132 well theyre knackered then , the game disc will probably hold 100gb of data , but the game on ps5 is reportedly 120-150gb so they will need to download the rest , its the 21st century if you dont have Internet, id give the ps5 a miss, and besides I doubt they know crimson desert exists
@Vladspartan propaganda ? Good grief , no its just the machine is the most powerful console and with pssr2 its even more so , DF have numerous videos about why pssr2 is a game changer, they also did an interview with Mark cerny last year , maybe give them a watch , propaganda , seriously, maybe sell that xbox and put it towards a pro.
@Dogbreath most rpgs you dont play as your own character , and you can change the characters look , hairstyles , clothing etc , fantasy and steampunk aesthetics have been a thing for decades , skyrim for example has dragons , trolls,giant spiders etc it also has big gold robots.
@Neither_scene was he not just taking the piss out of pc gamers and there pc master race nonsense ,even through the majority will be running this game at 1080p 60fps
@Neither_scene you mean the minority and besides this is a console site, I hardly think anyone will care what the pc does or doesnt do, ill tell you what it wont do, play gta 6 in November ð
@RedRiot193 and yet they said there was hardly difference in the standard ps5, its seems like there most certainly is ð the best place to play gta6 will also be the pro
Well there you go, it looks phenomenal, hopefully pssr2 will be released next week with the day one patch, I'll watch the video later and soak it all in @ShogunRok the launch trailer is out as well are you going to link the video , its got trains ð
@dskatter you cant play it until next week and the footage has been released before the game is out with more to follow , whats the issue , some people just like moaning for moanings sake, so what's your problem with that.
@j2c they have no problem giving there details to steam , epic , bethesda , twitter,Facebook, reddit, and the list goes on and on , silly little man babies
Great game , i stopped playing it as im waiting for pssr2, the graphics are a million times better than the new film, anybody seen it ? It's got sfx that make sharknado look good, i remember Christopher gans film brotherhood of the wolf ,fantastic film , what happened Chris
Just 14 seconds , why not longer clearly something is going on , why cant they just show longer footage, i dont care if its not finished and it needs more work , i want at least half the game shown , in fact i want a full walkthrough, shady practice this.
@Fiendish-Beaver i dunno probably because it wasn't ready , now it is , DF has console versions, theyve said they will show the pro version very soon , it'll be before the end of the week , which is all I care about
@Rich33 from what I've seen RT is crucial to the atmosphere of crimson desert especially night time scenes, the lighting is superb and its all down to ray tracing , i understand what you mean though , dying light 2 has ray tracing thats pointless in my opinion , I feel the series s version is going to look like complete dog sh*t , if you want 60fps 720p with no RT its going to look bad , quality mode on the pro seems its going to look like what we've seen of the pc version albeit at 30fps , depends how severe the difference is between that and balanced,will depend how im going to play
@trev666 apparently the engine is designed to use RT its how it works , they had to remove it for series s as it just wouldnt work, probably similar to the work they had to do with baldurs gate 3 and black myth
