Arkane had the same performance issues when they tried to mesh their engine with another one for Dishonored 2, and that also performed terribly on PC for nearly a year. AI also looks pretty braindead from some of the reviews I've been watching so far (GMANlives review as one example), and coupled with the performance issues and it's price, I don't think I'm going to bother with it (much like I didn't bother with DH2 either). I guess Arkane's last good game for me was the first Dishonored, as I wasn't fond of Prey's performance and visual issues (having to mod the game to get better lighting/textures was a bit of a pain). It's a bummer that Beth/Zeni acquired studios tend to botch up something with their games (like Wolfenstein reboot having some perf woes or texture issues for example). |
Yeah reading up on DH2 problems.. sounds like their engine is to blame on a lot of this (called Void I think). Lots of framepacing issues as well.
Just thought it was strange considering its not exactly a visual showpiece. I guess a lot of review copies were sent on consoles, though on PC's it should be more of highlight as performance is a huge factor in a lot on how a game play and feels.
@JEMC
It just goes to show why a monopoly is bad in the PC space. If one totally leapfrogs another, the consumer suffers. Really looking forward to seeing benchmarks though, seeing as GPU's are still a myth lol. I do think the 3D stacked ones are going to be pricey and used for the higher tier but its the mid tier stuff is what I'm mostly interested in.
