To be fair, it was 60fps Zelda. A game whose framerate tanked to the low 20s every time you were in a remotely open environment didn't stand a chance.

@delta3074 The only ones I disliked were the DS ones that had you use the stylus to control Link's movement. Really didn't like that control scheme.

The Witcher series is a dark RPG franchise with a serviceable, but not particularly great combat system; it also completely lacks puzzles, one of the defining elements of the Zelda franchise. I don't know why you would even compare it to Zelda. Dark Souls is similar, but again, a very different experience in numerous ways (art style, combat difficulty, tone, lack of puzzles). Skyrim? Really? A first person RPG with horrendous combat and zero puzzles? Those games hardly replace Zelda--something like Darksiders 2 might.

And who gives a shit about the plots in a Zelda game!?

You seem to not understand how the games industry works. People move from company to company and take their coding knowledge with them. Corrine Yu is no different and worked at numerous different companies prior to going to ND in 2013. Did Gearbox games start to look like CGI due to her mere presence at the company? Did Halo 4?

And really? None of their games have framerate problems, hmm?

And seriously? That's high image quality? Low res textures, jaggies, low resolution, poor shading. Don't get me wrong, it looks good for a console game running on old ass hardware, but don't sit here an pretend it has the same image quality as games that haven't confined themselves to consoles.

Oh ok. Never bothered with the multiplayer as I figured it would be dead.

God are there a lot of morons in this thread.

1. In engine =/= in-game, real-time

2. Naughty Dog is not composed of ancient wise men with freakishly amazing coding talent that no one else in the industry has access to. They couldn't keep their last game at a fucking stable 30fps. Some gods!! Not to mention, the Last of Us looked like garbage. Terrible image quality, low res textures everywhere, jaggies, piss filters, just ugh...ugly as hell. Maybe it was enough to impress the idiots at IGN, but for people that are actually used to good looking games, it looked atrocious.

3. If you seriously think they're gonna pull off that level of IQ with that level of AA at a stable 60fps...you're a fucking idiot. Now, remove the high quality AA, tone down the ambient occlusion and other minor yet costly visual effects, make the environments confined enough ala the Order, and yeah, I can see it pulling off close to 60fps. The fact that the Order needs to run with black bars at 30fps while utilizing 4XMSAA (the kind of AA you would need for that level of image quality) should tell you something.

Hopefully they just fire him before he gets to her level. Having another Patricia Hernandez in the gaming industry would be insufferable.

Yeah, not surprising. Pretty sure the Witcher 3 demo they showed off at the XB1 event was also on PC, as I could have sworn it switched to the desktop at one point. It's hard to say though, as it looked fairly shitty due to the quality of the stream, and it also lacked the PhysX fur and stuff that they said was gonna be in it (although they may just implement that later on).

The thing that weirded me out about the Arkham Knight reveal was that it showed them using the Batmobile as a tank, firing shells and shit. You know that there's gonna be some point in the story where Batman wigs out about killing Scarecrow or someone, and goes on his little preaching tirade about how he never kills....even though he was just running around Gotham shelling cars. I also didn't really see the point of the Batmobile--it didn't look any quicker than simply flying, and with the flying I can avoid having to go through road choke points.

A 7950 is considerably more powerful than a PS4. Pointing to an old DF article where they tested games with 4x-8x MSAA and SSAA isn't evidence of jack shit. Even a 7870 is considerably more powerful than a PS4, to the point where it can run games like Thief at 60fps with tessellation enabled (something the PS4 can't even manage at 30fps).

Oh, and as to ND saying it'll be 60fps....yeah, sure. These are the same people that couldn't even manage a remotely stable 30fps in their last few games.

I was more outraged at how the police handle a hostage in the game. I didn't know it was typical counter-terrorist behavior to use hostages as human shields while you have a big shoot out with terrorists, and then proceed to throw said hostage out of a two story shattered, bedroom window. I don't understand why they felt the need to drag the hostage along as they went hunting for terrorists. Seemed pretty daft.

Swat 4 didn't have that shit. If you found a hostage, you yelled at the motherfucker to drop to the floor, put their hands up, then proceed to cuff them. If they didn't comply, I'd bear mace their asses!

Little thing I made up
