      Yeah, performance on PC is quite rough atm (even on a high end system). I had to tweak the settings for quite a while to finally get an almost stable 60 fps. I'm having a blast though, the game is a gem. Hopefully they'll continue to optimize it.

    Ok I'm playing it on the ASUS rog ally and I have zero screen tearing, zero buggs etc.
    Think you might be able to resolve that on the PS5 if you turn on VRR or V-sync depending on what your TV support.
    But yeah I agree it's pretty awesome.

    Oh man I pre-ordered this game and I just played it as soon as it was available one hour ago or something and I was really excited to hear your takes on it. I am really liking this thus far, it looks like something between mass effect Andromeda, Elex and serious sam but on crack, a lot of crack. Thank god man this game is getting more attention than I was expecting.Thanks!

But even playing it on ps portal for crying out loud this game looks beautiful and I wouldn't exactly say it has a lot of issues either. I can see how this game is not going to impress to a lot of people but it kinda saddens me because it's pretty fun honestly.

    I was very sceptical about the demo of this game. Now I have played the full game a few hours and I am enjoying it very much. The framerate was my biggest issue in the demo, but the full game has a good framerate, in my opinion. And there are now 2 options: quality and performance. I am glad I took the risk to buy this game. 😊

    I thoroughly enjoyed this game and love all the references to the original Outcast game, I'm actually getting tired of these big AAA budget uninspiring games, I'm exceptionally finding no joy with newer games of late and have been going back to older types of games lately, I'm finding more joy in the AA games and especially indie games, but hay it's not a big whammy budget game, but maybe that's why I like it I really hope we get a trilogy of this because there's so much potential here and there devs did say if it does reasonably ok we would see a trilogy so I hope that happens, really glad the original music writer came back for this because I really enjoyed the music to this, thanks heaps for this vid

    Why on Earth would I like to buy a game day one ?? NEVER. Studio in the 20th century had more pride in their products ....

    "The entire game can feel a bit janky" - Precisely what I don't want to hear about a 60 euros game. I think they killed their own product with the pricing. Maybe it would worth 40. Even the small amount of people who buy it for 60 will be absolutely brutal in their review due how it positions itself with the price.

    I paid £25 for the PC version. I had the original game on its release 25 years ago..(I think it was?). I have been pleasantly pleased. AA games are a favourite of mine as they feel like they are made by gamers. There is soul and purpose to AA games and sometimes risks are taken.
    I played the demos a few weeks back on PC and PS5. The PC version is superior. I was worried about the PS5 version as it was not perfomant at all. On my PC this game not only looked good, it performed very well. Native 4K , 120 FPS and extremely, extremely minimal stutter. This is a game built to take advantage of good PC hardware..
    And at £25 new...very pleased.
