On Cryengine, I don't think this game will be optimised properly for any platform. Crytek, the creators of the engine, were actually involved with the development of Homefront last year and it was still somehow an unoptimised mess.

Ju2567d ago

In all fairness, Homefront is the only CryEngine game which actually supports the Pro.

IamTylerDurden12567d ago (Edited 2567d ago )

Crytek was originally the developer of Homefront The Revolution but they sold the game to Koch Media in 2014 and Dambuster Studios took over development. Dambuster has ppl from Crytek UK but Dambuster is not a huge and well funded development team. If you honestly think this game was developed by Crytek proper you need to do some research.

Also, if you are using Homefront The Revolution as a barometer for the capabilities of the CryEngine i would rethink that. In fact, i wouldn't use Homefront The Revolution as a barometer for anything other than what happens when a game goes through development hell, switches teams, gets a fraction of the resources it needs, and is pushed out completely unfinished. Homefront The Revolution just had a rough go of it, it had great ideas but wasn't given nearly enough ppl, time, or money after it was essentially dropped by Crytek proper. The game was released as an utter mess, and everyone could see it coming a mile away. Please understand do not use Homefront The Revolution as an example of why CryEngine can't be optimized, bc the game could've used Unreal and it still would've been a mess.

Homefront actually does have a Pro patch and it improves the game. On PS4 Pro Homefront The Revolution will run native 1440p with the HUD/UI/other elements running in native 4K. It also runs at a locked 30fps and includes downsampling and temporal AA. The game is dramatically better on Pro actually, so if Homefront The Revolution which was a disaster of game can have a good Pro patch i'd expect Kingdom Come to be able to have an even better one. Especially considering Homefront released long before Pro and Kingdom Come is being developed with Pro in mind.

@andrewsquall

A least they are supporting the PRO. Another third party studio. You should demand more from Sony first party studio instead of bashing third party studios willing to give Pro owners a game which actually use the console´s resources and power.

sizeofyou2567d ago

As an aside, wasn't this meant to be a PS4 launch title?

sizeofyou2567d ago

Right...cheers. I was thinking of Kingdom Under Fire II. Didn't know it had been released - just not in the "west"...

Horseygamer2567d ago

yes it is check there web site

Relientk772567d ago

I would love to see this game at E3

Maxor2567d ago

LMAO. This game runs like shit on the PC and is a vaporware title. Being optimized for the Pro probably means that it'll reach 24 FPS in the menu.

cartoonx12566d ago

game isnt released yet, cant compare the final with that years old alpha demo.

Allsystemgamer2566d ago

Um. You're basing that off an alpha demo? Are you stupid?

Horseygamer2567d ago (Edited 2567d ago )

any one know when this is released?? skyrim in medieval time

IamTylerDurden12567d ago

It's a first person game i believe.

Cap_Mush_FTW2567d ago (Edited 2567d ago )

nice answer, there. totally what the guy was asking for.

no release date, so far. they're aiming for this summer, on all platforms

Every PlayStation Studios game available now on Windows PC

Windows Central writes: "Many PlayStation Studios games that are ported to PC get dedicated PS5 DualSense support, which allows users to experience haptic feedback and adaptive trigger support without actually having to own a PS5.

According to Hermen Hulst, head of PlayStation Studios, it's still the company's intent to launch the bigger single-player games on PS5 first, before later bringing the games to PC. This might not be the case for multiplayer games however, which are considered okay to launch simultaneously on console and PC."

My guess is after god of war. Probably last of us 2 that's a almost 4 year old game now and by the time it's released on pc it will be more than 4 years old or close to 5.

Every old Playstation game that is now on PC.

Former Activision studio Toys for Bob partners with Xbox to publish its first game as an indie

Former Activision studio Toys for Bob partners with Xbox to publish its first game as an indie. This is something of a homecoming, as Microsoft owns Activision.

Very very early in development. Still, fantastic news!

Let´s GO!!!

Lightning7716h ago

I guess.

How come they didnt either let them go or sell Tango and others to another publisher? Not saying Ubisoft, EA would be any better. (Capcome would of treated them right )

At least it wouldn't be MS of all ppl destroying them.

MS really should let go Tango go like they did TFB here.

darthv7216h ago(Edited 16h ago)

one was under Bethesda (Tango) the other under Activision (TFB). Clearly each one handled the separations of their subordinates differently.

Obscure_Observer15h ago(Edited 15h ago)

"How come they didnt either let them go or sell Tango and others to another publisher? Not saying Ubisoft, EA would be any better. (Capcome would of treated them right )"

Perhaps because Zenimax and ABK handles such matters differently based on their own internal policies as "independent" publishers.

Whoever, chances are it´s simply because MS didn´t wanted Tango or Austin to be acquired by competitors and develop new bangers for them, giving MS a bad rep in a possible future. Which could also be the reason why they ensured an exclusive partnership with TFB and its new game, before anyone else.

Sad and disgusting. But it is what it is.

Lightning7712h ago(Edited 12h ago)

"Whoever, chances are it´s simply because MS didn´t wanted Tango or Austin to be acquired by competitors and develop new bangers for them, giving MS a bad rep in a possible future."

MS has a bad rep now because those studios are no more. I rather them sell the studio continue to make multiplatform releases, while MS continues to focus on whatever they're doing. If they didn't want Tango around they should separated from them or sell them to, like they did TFB.

It's inexcusable, they have options on how to handle studios they don't want anymore with killing jobs. Not just MS but the rest of the industry also.

Sad and disgusting sure how many will get shut down next year or this year even?

I don't trust MS decisions and motivations at this point. You have to admit they make one dumb move after another.

Imo, MS separated from TFB because they didn´t had a game associated with Xbox yet, unlike Tango.

"I don't trust MS decisions and motivations at this point. You have to admit they make one dumb move after another."

Fair enough. It was indeed an epic dumb move from them to close Tango.

Still, all to be forgotten, like always have. This is not the first time a big publisher shuts down a beloved and/or successful studio out of nowhere and certainly won´t be the last. Do you remember Lionhead? Do you remember Evolution Studios? Yeah... both were beloved studios and yet, those companies kill those studios in q blink of an eye and got away with it.

anast2h ago(Edited 2h ago)

The studio boss made some money from this transaction. Once the game releases, the studio will get chopped up.

-Foxtrot18h ago

Manages to buy their freedom especially after all the shit Microsoft has been doing with its studios lately

...

Goes right back to them as partners.

Okaaaaaay...

darthv7216h ago

Id venture a guess that TFB working directly with MS was a better outcome than working through Activision to get to MS.

VersusDMC14h ago

From the article...

"Toys for Bob spun out as an indie back in February after Microsoft instituted sweeping layoffs that impacted 86 employees, which was more than half of the staff"

I doubt those 86 employees enjoyed the Microsoft experience over Activisions.

Inverno14h ago

MS shuts down studios because of lack of resources and then helps these guys by giving em resources. Also MS is what forced them to buy their freedom in the first place? What kind of logic 😂

Chevalier11h ago

The best thing is that the company that is worth $3 trillion and owns the company instead of Xbox lacks resources. How the hell does a company worth $3 trillion making a measly $70 billion purchase they 'can't' support. Lol

Sciurus_vulgaris16h ago(Edited 16h ago)

Xbox’s gaming division seems to still function as 3 semi-autonomous sub-divisions, Xbox Studios, Bethesda and ABK. The three main sub-divisions can seemingly shut down or build studios and set up partnerships independently. This would explain why Bethesda can recently shutdown studios, while ABK spins off one studio, while building a new one. Plus, Toys for Bob could be spun off by ABK, only to immediately re-partner with Microsoft.

Chevalier10h ago

That's absolutely 💯 BS. Any sane 'autonomous' company would NOT put their games on Gamepass day 1 like COD will lose probably billions.

Also they're all under Xbox game studios so any autonomy is an illusion.

Elda11h ago

Either a kiddie game or something uninteresting.

Obscure_Observer4h ago

Don´t worry. You won´t be playing it anyway since their next game will possible be a next gen Xbox console game.

Don't worry about my comments.

What Happens to Your Steam Account When You Die?

The Outerhaven writes: While Steam has come out recently, stating that Steam accounts can't be transferred, we need to think about it since we all will eventually kick the bucket. But if Valve is denying transferring accounts, what can be done? Plenty, actually.

It goes to my kids because I gave them the passwords.

To Steam: Missio has a song that conveys my feelings about you stealing my purchase after I die. It's called "Middle Fingers"

shinoff21831d ago

Pretty much. My son knows my info.

Abear211d ago

Yeah worrying about digital ownership when you’re on the other side of the grass seems a little strange, but also on brand for these millennial journalists to worry about.

qalpha9h ago

I'm sure Keith will be happy to hear he's a millennial journalist.

Goodguy011d 4h ago

I suppose if I have kids, I'd just give em my account details by retirement age. If I die young then...idk lol.

CrimsonWing691d 2h ago

Yea, I mean just give someone the password to your account. Is that difficult to do or something? Like, I’m legit asking because I don’t know.

anast1d ago (Edited 1d ago )

It's not difficult but It's against the policy. If they find out, they will lock the account permanently.

CrimsonWing6923h ago

Ah ok, I had a feeling there was something like that. It seems kind of weird that you can’t just hand your account over to a family member or friend and let them take over the account.
