    I'm going to be honest, my excitement for games go down real quick when i learn they run on UE5, particularly action games like an FPS. Game could look like real life but if the framerate is shit then i'm just not going to enjoy it, it's my main concern currently for Stalker 2 as well.
    We are also at a point (honestly it could be argued we have been for a long while) where more realistic graphics are seeing diminishing returns, sure Immortals looks good, probably better than 99% of anything else, but at the same time unless i look at the game side by side with something else and analyze the finer details i can't really tell you how it looks much better than, say, the newest COD, or Battlefield 2042, or Cyberpunk 2077, or Atomic Heart, etc. Is not a leap like we saw back in the early 2000s, and from the user side of things it really feels like games just look marginally 'better' and run infinitely worse.

    No wonder the game is at such a low res on consoles. Same thing with Gotham Knights at launch, that game had a 30 fps cap and people thought the consoles weren’t powerful enough, when in reality, when the pc version was tested, the game was just an unpolished stuttery mess. What a darn shame

  • @stirfrysensei
    @stirfrysensei Рік тому +6

    The sad reality of UE5 is that i believe almost all future UE5 games are going to be designed with the expectation that upscaling is turned on, mostly because they’re all targeting console first. I’ve heard some talk about this floating around, and so far it’s been true, though we’ve only had two games to go off of so far.
    I have to question this decision though, as it seems fairly anti-consumer to force people to use up scaling to achieve decent performance for the sake of prettier graphics.

    Thats why im against people blindly praising Black Myth: Wukong graphics looking that realistic in recent trailers because that will come at a costly price. The graphics need to be scaled down a bit and scaling them down doesnt mean they will be bad, the graphics can still look great but just not that realistic we got recently from trailers. I hope the devs are smart about this.

    Actually...
    That "windowed" setting isn't correct either. And I only realized this once I started playing on my widescreen monitor... it says "3440x1440p", but I'm getting 16:9 aspect ratio only, because I have black bars on the left and right. So despite games saying my monitor's resolution, they aren't actually rendering 3440x1440p.
    Can you look into this? Because true widescreen support is rarer than I thought...

    My only critique is no one, and I do mean no one should be playing games on ULTRA. Especially newer games, the ultra preset is more designed for future GPUs in mind. And besides, majority of the times, you wont be able to tell the difference between high and ultra presets but you lose like 20-30% of your FPS. The only exception to that rule sadly is the 4090.
    With that said, UE5 is too young to be used for a FPS shooter, Id be more down if it was used for RPGs like Witcher or even JRPGs.
    That said, good video! I give it a 7/10 ~IGN

      Totally agree about ultra. A friend of mine that's a programmer always cracks on people that play modern games on ultra. They're meme-ing themselves. This year has been an extremely disappointing year for ports. It's almost like the gaming and hardware corpos are united in working us so that they can push out more product for a higher price (the hardware companies) and games for a higher price because of "gwahfix."Fool these console-minded generation of PC gamers that they need to piss away money on $1,600 graphics cards with smoke and mirrors just so that you can feel like you have a chance to run a game that doesn't stutter like Buh-Buh Ray Dudley in 1997.

    This is definitely one of the most frustrating titles I have "tried to play" over and over. I am running a 12900K with 7900XTX Custom Loop Cooling and no matter what, I get maybe 2 hours of play and them the system locks up. On the other end, playing Remnant II without issues, playing Jedi Survivor without issues, all forms of AAA gaming and this one seems to bust every time I get into it. All in all, the game is fun when you're alone and need something to occupy time. I do like the story and gameplay, I feel like Doctor Strange taking on the World. Now, I just can't keep dealing with this system lock, I've set settings well below "the pre-determined" performance scale LOLOLOL and it still does it. Thank God there are so many better titles to occupy my time with...

Also, you don’t have frame generation on but when that’s on there’s literallya ghosting affect that happens everything like the reticle has 2 additional copies around the actual reticle. It looks absolutely horrible. With all that being said, i personally have enjoyed the story and combat is fun. Considering its $60 i give it some praise but yeah the performance is def not there. I have a 9900k 4080 and get like barely over 60 in 4k usually dipping below.

    This isn't a triple A game Alex?
    Also, you complain about things here that actually have a reason. You were playing at ultra, which adds unlimited bounce full res RTGI and Reflections (something not even CP2077 RT Overdrive does) on AMD hardware which is very weak at RT (7900xt is basically a 3060 for ray tracing). Also, the CPU issues are understandable due to the additional draw calls added by using hardware lumen, and VSM have huge CPU costs as well.

    • @georgestephenopolous5508
      @georgestephenopolous5508 Рік тому

      The games graphic budget gives increased scores to AMD cards. 7900 XTX has 25% more score than a 4090. If what you are saying is true even the devs don't know what is going on with their game. That their range of settings doesn't give tangible improvements for the player experience is not an excuse.

    • @forbiddenavocado
      @forbiddenavocado Рік тому

      @@georgestephenopolous5508 You don't seem to understand, the game has baked in ray tracing from anything Medium and upwards. On Ultra (Which alex started off using), it's native resolution RT (something no other game has done to day) and unlimited bounces (something only Quake 2 RTX has an option for). On AMD hardware, which is typically FAR slower than their Nvidia counterparts in Ray tracing. The 7900 XT (alex doesn't have an XTX) is a 3060 in RT capabilities.
      It doesn't matter whatsoever that the 7900xtx scores higher than a 4090, it NEVER outperforms it particularly in RT workloads.
      Also, Virtual Shadow Map draw calls in UE5 are REALLY heavy on the CPU (from my own experimentation, so not an empirical metric) which explains the CPU utilization PARTIALLY (im not excusing it whatsoever).

    • @georgestephenopolous5508
      @georgestephenopolous5508 Рік тому

      ​@@forbiddenavocado The devs obviously can't program a utilization metric with their own game despite having access to source and the ability to produce their own extensive data. Hence the meaningless numbers from them which I presume took at least a hundred man-hours to produce. I won't believe they did the rest properly. Regardless it doesn't look that great and their own range of settings is skewed toward whatever their internal development scheme is and not user expectations. If your ultra looks not that great and the spread isn't that much of a difference between low and max you need to make it clear what is going on or better yet bite down and revamp your entire settings to reflect the lack of perceptual improvements. It's not a tech demo for the showroom it's an end-user product you're expecting to receive a return on. Show some respect to the buyers. This is another case of devs being in their own little world without a clue what the people who they are developing for want and expect.

    Oh, you can't click the label telling you what the ESC key does? Well that is just terrible ... or user error :) I would not have assumed that those would be clickable, but some may. Compared to all the other jank, limitations, bland visuals, lousy writing, so so gameplay and poor performance, not being able to click a tooltip is super minor. I guess the developers should cared more about their menus :)
    The game, from the gameplay I've seen, looks really flat and boring. Everything is high fidelity in terms of texture quality, particle effects and so on. However it fails so hard in art style, it feels like it lacks direction beside "is it 4k yet?". Everything looks generic.
    I'm currently re-playing Metroid Prime on GameCube and that game looks so much better and it came out in 2002. The reasons Metroid Prime looks so good more than 20 years are simple, they are things like; Focus, understanding, technical skill, game direction, art style. Immortals of Aveum has none of these things going for it. It feels very much the thinking here was "let's make this product to sell" and not "let's work really hard to make the best game possible".

    Just another game showing how overpriced pc gaming is again.
    When devs can actually optimise multi core cpus and use all the cores effectively would be a nice moment in pc gaming but for some reason most devs just want you to have a 4 core cpu at 2 million ghz and a 4090 with dlss 3.0.
    Its stupid how expensive pc gaming is now just for you to have a 90% chance that the game will be unoptimised anyway because devs are using dlss 3.0 fake frame generation and fsr etc as a crutch too brute force frames
