westersburg Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 (edited) I'm really sorry to tell you guys, that this game is a complete mess right now (patch 1.02). I was really hyped for this game and the level design didn't let me down once, but the controls feel choppy, there are situations where the framerate drops to 10-20 fps (base ps4) and there are plenty of glitches where you fall under the map, get stuck in obstacles etc. They really need to patch this.

Sofa King Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 That's really disappointing to hear. Hopefully patches are in the works 'cause all that flips it from a must buy to maybe wait for a sale. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcusPunisher Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 That sucks. I really liked the original and I was looking forward to play this based on what I've seen. I guess it's a wait until they fix it or not touch at all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FreshFromThaDeli Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 That is disappointing. I'm eager to find out impressions from the PS4 Pro version. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HuntingFever Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 From what I remember of the Xbox original, that was also glitchy as hell . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westersburg Posted November 8, 2020 Author Share Posted November 8, 2020 Here is the first hour i played. Unfortunately for you i stopped streaming before the big areas with massive framedrops. But i encountered some glitches at: 31:10, 33:30, 41:30 and 46:35 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aeternull Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 I just completed the game on easy and yea I rarely see games this unoptimized. Screen tears, slow FPS at many places (PS4 Pro), controls are not the best, enemy AI is awful. Cutscene sound isn't synced with video sometimes, one entire cutscene had no audio. Options menu movement is bad (yes something this simple isn't implemented well) and so on. Gonna wait a day or two for a patch before starting hardest difficulty. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah i started yesterday on XIII difficulty from the beginning and i'm at mission 9/34 now. Since the enemy AI is so bad and you don't take that much damage, it's pretty easy so far. (Thank God! Higher difficulty with these controls would be a pain.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evil_Joker88 Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 Too bad man. I was somewhat excited for this game to appear again but i'm gonna wait for a patch to improve the game before buying it then... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashbo Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 This is somewhat disappointing to hear? I was expecting a relatively solid title with this, but maybe nostalgia and memories are making me hope/want this remake would be decent! Will wait until I hear more thoughts and see some more gameplay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leenewbe Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 a shame to hear but at least i picked up the original on gog recently so can play that in the mean time for nostalgia. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HellcoreFire Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 To those that don't get early copies, it's a fair trade-off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't even ask for that early copy. I just preordered it regularly. Locking games before release with broken mechanics or something else is bullshit. That's just the cancer of this website. Everyone going for first platinum achiever and bitching around, when people have early copies. You can't take the leaderboard serious anyways because of that. The only leaderboards of first achiever, that do matter, are the ones, of digital only releases. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh wow... that's not being aware that is full blown Sniper Ghost Warrior level of unfinished, unpolished, and not ready for launch no chance of it being worth it full price with this much issues which is a shame, I'll wait for a sale few months down the line 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

diskdocx Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 That's too bad, this was on my radar and when the trophy list dropped I was excited. Saw the price though, and for basically full retail, I'm gonna pass. I'll get it in 6 mo once patched and the price is $20 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Dubz Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 Are we sure it doesn't just play exactly like it did back on PS2/Gamecube?! Only kidding, i'm actually pretty bummed to hear this. I was definitely going to pick this up for nostalgia at the very least, but definitely waiting until a patch comes. 1 hour ago, diskdocx said: ...Saw the price though, and for basically full retail, I'm gonna pass.

No way I'm paying full price, esp if it's not running up to par. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadiantFlamberge Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 The performance is lousy. I had been looking forward to this especially with the original being so good on PC and original Xbox, and I'm disappointed. For this being a $50 game, I expected it to perform better. I've seen those framerate dips... and worse. Once I had it suddenly drop down to a slideshow, making me have to close the application. It is quite unstable, and I have had it crash on me a few times. I think I'll chill on this until it gets some fixes. The glitch at 33:30 happened to me as well. Also there's some screen tearing which really should not be happening. This would be a great game if the above issues were fixed. XIII remake is running on Unity 2018, and the original game uses Unreal Engine 2...why did they not use UE4?
