Itās available now? I thought the trailer said July, interesting!
They get early access for testing, also itās rough. I donāt know how it runs on PS5 but it very noticeably lagging a bit.
I watched the beginning of this. John compared the gears graphics and gameplay as based on a couple ps games he likes. Oliver doesnāt know gamepass costs money and that xbox releases their games on multiple pc stores. Plenty of frame rate comments on a game that has 6 months to go. Yeah, your typical DF video.
The mandatory comment/comparison of almost everything to Killzone 2 and to Uncharted from Lineman is funny at this point, he is such a big fan of the series that he forgot Gears 2 had destructible cover before Killzone 2ā¦also when Oliver is talking about exclusivity on Xbox itās like you are listening to a PS fanboy on resetera, besides the āSeries consoles have sold 30m consolesā BS comment I hope he keeps the same energy with Sonyās games too now that Sony is pulling back from PC. Sony should port Saros on PC, Xbox and Switch 2 because the game didnāt do that well on PS5? am I right?
As you said typical DF video. ![]()
My issue with DF, is that theyāre a perfect example of what @Sikamikanico was saying in his article about the industry speaking on Xbox, when they donāt actually engage with the ecosystem.
For example, take this question from one of their patreons whoās a fan of Quick Resume, asking if Sony could implement a similar feature:
The responses from John & Oliver show that they likely play a game on Xbox for their content, but then go straight back to their PCās, as a lot of the issues they have with QR, have been solved, or have been shown to be a result of devs not utilising it correctly.
Take Forza Horizon; QR kinda worked in 4 & 5, in that it would load you exactly where you were, but the online portion was messed up and wouldnāt load a fresh session. It also wouldnāt load a new calendar season until you restarted the game iirc. With FH6 though, all those have been solved.
Halo Infinite MP did not work well with it either, but today we have Arc Raiders (I think?), which does.
I never know what people are talking about with Quick Resume being buggy. Iāve played dozens of games on my Series X, I use it practically every day of the year, and Iāve scarcely ever had issues with Quick Resume. I must just be the luckiest person ever? To hear other people talk like itās so glitchy as to be unusable⦠It is what it is. If they can talk about their perception of their experience, I can talk about mine. ![]()
Anyway I thought DF was pretty positive about the showcase.
John and Oliver were even hyped up by the transparent green console!
Itās only ever had issues with online components in games.
Yeah, games that rely on an initial online connection would clearly have issues with that, but otherwise, and other than games having updates, QR has worked very reliably for me.
I mean⦠I wouldnāt even call that an issue with Quick Resume, thatās just the nature of how an online game works. It would be like asking why you can pause a recording but not a phone call. ![]()
Anyway Iāve played 35 hours of FF7 Rebirth, every day since it came out and Iāve only seen the title screen the one time. Typical Quick Resume experience.
Yeah, they were to be fair. Iād just been meaning to blast them about the QR segment, but forgot!
