Returnal (Housemarque) [PS5, PC]

I think the "percentage issue" was already sorted well enough, but I'm curious to see your math reaching that 62%?

Sorry, must have picked the wrong numbers for the 980Ti, the correct percentage is 85%.

This is definitely the best thread for ancient graphics cards comparisons!

First time checked game as is now in ps plus extra, quite impressed it reconstruction results from 1080p, very stable image (better stability than matrix tech demo also scaled from around 1080p)

So after trying to make me look like an arse for getting it wrong you get it wrong yourself?

I have no words.

I've just started with this as well, I upgraded to premium and downloaded this and Demon Souls.

So far it's been very slick, there is a defintie Aliens: Covenant vibe being given off though.

Such a phenomenal game! It's really the Resogun of PS5.

I am currently in biome 2. I just wish we wouldn't start with the same shitty pistol again and again... Other than that the rogue thing is well done (for now).

The game is reminding me Nex Machina a lot (in which we could easily get our previous weapon after each death so this is why I feel like they could have done a similar thing in Returnal).

More changes done/added to the Steam Depot for the game.

Seems like an announcement could be made soonish.

They could announce this port anytime, but who knows when it will release.

Returnal also supports ray-traced shadows as before, but now our friends at Climax Studios have added the support for RT reflections as well. This will make the contrast of a dark setting and neon bullets pop out even more than before.*

*Use of performance enhancing upscaling like NVIDIA DLSS is recommended when using both ray-traced reflections and ray-traced shadows.

Nice the game supports both DLSS and FSR. Ultrawide, FoV adjustments.

Seems like a very solid port indeed. Hopefully it can keep that impression on launch day.

I'm curious if the game actually will scale to as many CPU threads as the requirements seem to imply. If so, if it's primarily due to relying on the CPU for storage/decompression somewhat like Spider-Man.

What a surprise... the 32GB RAM for recommended specs has been dropped to 16GB

 

[orangpelupa]

yay! and when it became too hard, i can simply cheat my way!

assuming i can start it in offline mode... so no ban risk. or they will still ban me?

Not using much of PS5 secret source

On the flip side they are now recommending an SSD at all levels though. This certainly makes sense given the games fast loading, but it's interesting that the recommended which seem to be PS5 spec (1060p/60) only asks for 16GB now. Testing load and restart times in this game should be interesting on different systems.

Where would RT shadows even apply? The only shadows outside of cutscenes seem to be on the main character in the trailer. Where else are there real time shadows in this game?

Maybe don't judge it by a trailer? There's different environments in the game with varied time of day and lighting conditions.

Which is why I asked.
