Looks great. Not gonna say day one though, I'll let some other AMD users be guinea pigs for this game. :p

idTech6 and Vulkan are running great on Radeons. In addition to that, Zenimax is now firmly in the AMD camp [RX and Ryzen optimizations]

Bethesda the Publisher is pretty stellar outside of a few weird hangups (launch day review copies / embargos etc). Could argue for being the best.

Yeah, they have some anti-consumer decisions and that really hurt them on my book, but talking about games quality only, they are the best right now.

I mean, so far we have Wolfenstein New Order, The Evil Within Wolfenstein Old Blood, Fallout 4, Doom, Dishonored 2, Prey, Elder Scrolls Online, Wolfenstein 2 New Colossus, The Evil Within 2 and Quake Champions announced/released so far.

And Dishonored: Death of the Outsider. This year Bethesda is going ham, 2 AAA games and a massive standalone expansion. They are the best 3rd party publisher atm imho

Currently there is no better publisher for story driven FPS games than Bethesda. And that is the case for at least 2-3 years now.

Story driven and heavy single player games, Bethesda is unique, especially when you see Ubisoft, EA, Activision and other smaller publisher pushing the multiplayer and service games

Yup Bethesda are awesome with their single play focus, let's not forget them supporting AAA horror as well with TEW2.

They really are a rare breed in today's AAA market and I pray to god that they would stay this way 🙏

No hit markers, no hit sounds, no heads exploding, no limbs flying.

No satisfaction to be had in this game.

It looks incredible, I loved the last games so there's no doubt I'm gonna love this one too.

Cool you can walk over ammo and health for pick ups now.

This was the only thing I disliked about the previous games, so glad it's fixed.

Pretty sure it's using same build engine wise as Last years doom. It will run like butter.
Click to expand...

Yes, that's supposed to be the case. But I just can't blindly trust idTech after being burned twice, three times if you count pre-Vulkan Doom, which ran okay but not as good as it should.

I am optimistic though.

I get the same amount of frames pre and post-Vulkan in DOOM. That game ran like a charm from day one. What setup are you on?

Plenty of idtech nightmare popups, unfixable

But very smooth
Click to expand...

It was anything but smooth on an AMD GPU. ): Thankfully the improvements made for DOOM seem to have made it run much better on AMD even in OpenGL but Vulkan will probably be king, again.

Subtle changes, like the addition of an auto-pickup for ammunition

Thank you!

Annoyingly, people are still staring at the floor in the videos! I guess armour and other stuff is still manual pick up.

Did you watch the same videos I did? This game has tons of gore.

This is a good thing. Hit markers, in general, are a cruch used for poor player ability and unreadable game damage via visuals and audio czes.

"unreadable game damage via visuals"

Go on Dictator, say what you really mean ;)

Ok then no hit markers but what about hit sounds? Wildlands has this hit sounds that make it very satisfying when killing enemies.

I hear nothing.

Blood is there tho, even tho no flying body parts like Doom or Gears but blood is there.

Last game had flying body parts, just not with all weapons. You only see it with certain weapons that would mulch a person, ie... the dual auto shotties.

If it's anything like the first lots of "BZAPPS" and "GATHUNKS" and "Squishshshs" of flesh essentially melting away as bullets tear through enemy's flesh. The guns themselves sound great. I think you will be fine on gore though. Just wait until you walk past an enemy you killed and look. You usually able to inspect their lungs and ribcage and small intestines in exquisite detail if you did your job right.

This is what I wanted to read, you are a gentleman my good sire!!

Those "BZAPPS" and "GATHUNKS" and "Squishshshs" love em!!

Explain?

Those are what makes shooting and killing satisfying in videogames IMO, that I want them specially in a shooter is nothing out of the ordinary, lots of shooters have them in so many forms, being kill sound, hit sound, hit marker, etc.

Is this game, similar to Doom, aiming for 60fps on console? Doom was pretty damn impressive technically, kinda figure with the same engine, this game might be capable of replicating Doom's 60fps even on PS4 and XB1... with image quality caveats, of course. Looks a bit more open than Doom in some areas, so I imagine that would be a bit more stressful on the engine, too.

No prob my man I try. I forgot there is actually a level in a sub later on that have white roomsin the first that you can literaly paint red with Nazi blood.

I also remember seeing a weapon in the trailers for this game that was like a weapon in the first game that if you shot it at Nazi when it was fully charged they would explode into a fountain of gibs.

You can actually take a pretty solid guess based on the trailers we've seen and a little bit of background information. Wolfenstein: The New Order spoilers:
Caroline is bound to a wheelchair in the first game, but uses the Da'at Yichud power suit to walk around just fine. You can see B.J. wearing the same suit throughout the trailer.

Major, major possible spoilers:
Still conceivable that Caroline is beheaded and BJ's head is attached to hers and is inhabiting her power armour covered body for most of the game.

The New Order is one of my absolute favorite games, so I'm going to practice a little self-control and not watch every minute of these previews.

Even if I really, really want to.

Prey's not really a series revival. The name got foisted on Arkane.

Though I suppose you can argue that it's a spiritual revival to System Shock, because its probably the most faithful spiritual successor to it.
