The Surge 4K Gameplay - Post Apocalyptic Dark Souls?

The Surge releases next week on Xbox One, PS4, PC and having spent several hours wandering about the wastelands it’s clear Deck 13 has drawn influence from a certain Dark Souls series. The design is almost carbon copy although it does have a unique take on the formula with its combat. Players are tasked with cutting body parts from their adversaries which in turn nets supplies for upgrades, weapons and bits of mech suit – all handy stuff when out in the field. This means that although it’s easy to chop and slice away at enemies (and as you grow in power becomes easier to take them down) one has to be mindful of which body part to hack off adding a neat layer to the combat.

First time seeing gameplay of this. It actually looks like it could be pretty fun.

Every twitch streamer that got the game early that I've seen has been really enjoying the game. There are numerous PC crashes and a few camera issues with a boss fight or two, but for the most part it's a well received game. The gameplay has been rock solid so far.

When ever I see 4K now, I think Scorpio version. But any way, as for this demo, I don't like that the AI don't seem to be able to hear when there is a fight going on within yards of them. Make is seem too scripted and looses immersion for me. But I do like Melee combat even though it looks like it could also use some range weaponry.

"When ever I see 4K now, I think Scorpio version."

Damn...MS really has some of you all by your family jewels. Scorpio was announced a year ago, won't be out for another half year or more, and some people are acting like it's delivering for you already.

Sorry to burst your bubble...but as always, MS still has you waiting and waiting.

[Bigpappy]

LOL. That's funny. But if you ask anyone, looking forward to Scorpio, they will tell you they get the same reaction. I think I already read some where this developer saying they will support the Scorpio. But I see a lot of that on the internet away from N4G, so not 100% sure. Don't get mad at me though, its an honest reaction and you will see more people hit the agree button when they read it. I think there are more like you here that are tired of Scorpio talk already because you have no interest. I do understand. But that is your issue you have to deal with.

@SpaceRanger

The Surge is native 4K30fps for the Scorpio and Dynamic 4K30fps or 1080p60fps for the PS4Pro confirmed.

@ Obscure_Observer

Umm.... I searched for "The Surge Scorpio Native 4K" and nothing confirmed came up.

[nX]

Well these Xbots need something to look forward to as they had nothing to enjoy for the past 6 month, it's just annoying that they are talking nonsense all the time.

[CP_Company]

i agree with with you.so if you acting like retard,so you can say,i am waiting 4k 60fps on my PS5,'So when i see 4k i think about 60fps and PS5' :/

[Z501]

When you put it like that, it does sound insane. Announced a year ago, won't be out for another half year. Sheeeesh!

Did anyone do this last gen? When ever i see native 1080p now, I think PS3, etc.

[Quetzll]

Way to go guys! A gameplay video turns into another discussion about Scorpio. Every single reply is irrelevant to the video shown and you are all guilty of violating the rules set standard by common decency of STAYING ON TOPIC. It's really not hard. Just. Stay. On. Topic.

The game looks solid. Hoping there's a lot of diverse environments. That boss fight was awesome and I expect them to just get cooler as the game goes on (they better!).

Haven't seen much publicity for this game so I give N4G a thumbs up for helping promote it.

@DigitalRaptor

Correction.They are aiming at native 4K 30fps on Scorpio. Due the console specifications they are confident they will achieve their goal.

Whenever I see 4k now, I think PS4 Pro and PC.

Since those platforms actually exist.

[Studio-YaMi]

You mean 4K with medium settings and washed up textures,right?
I have a pc rocking a gtx 1080 and even then some games can't reach 4k without compromise to other technical settings...what? you thought you would have the best looking version of your games? you are mental if you think your so oh mighty Scorpio can perform better than a pc with a gtx 1080 besides the FACT that most(if not all) of your Xbox line-up is on pc or coming soon,delusional at best...lol.

Your experience wont change much from a PS4 Pro,yes you have extra pixels but that's about it,it's like when the PS4 had the pixel-count edge on the Xbox One 3 years ago,woobeefreakingdoo! let's not forget who has the upper hand when it comes to exclusives and games in general(of course PC has the biggest library but speaking console-wise),the PS4 has a lot more exclusives and let's not forget more appealing franchises than what Xbox's offering.

Let's see how many of your games can hit 4k/60fps(maybe on low settings pfff),that list will be shorter than a bobcats tail,lmao.

"Let's see how many of your games can hit 4k/60fps(maybe on low settings pfff),that list will be shorter than a bobcats tail,lmao."

Be prepared to disappointement! Gran Turismo Sport (BETA) is running a 1800p Checkerboard and it can´t even maintain 60fps locked dropping frames to 50´s on Sport mode featuring 18 cars on the PS4Pro version. Bare mind that GT Sport is on development stage for 4 years.

"Your experience wont change much from a PS4 Pro"

Yeah? Lets see who has the last laugh when Digital Foundry pitch GT Sport against Forza 7. ;)

Whenever I see 4k now I think whats going to give me best bang for my buck, vega or 1080ti? Either way in a month or so ill be maxing real 4k out at ultra 60fps with a nice new shiney gpu providing the bhp

Good luck trying on either console hahaha

"When ever I see 4K now, I think Scorpio version"

....the amount of things I'd love to say about the sheer stupidity of this post, probably would do nothing but get me banned -_-

[Greg2801]

Plays and feels nothing like a Souls series game. If you buy this game with the idea that you are going to have a souls like experience, you will be disappointed. Its a good game if you dont compare it.

[GrimReaperGamer]

The game is showing some promise, so I'll definitely be giving it a try.

"Post Apocalyptic Dark Souls?"

How original. I have only seen that line a hundred times in reference to this game. Game industry writing. The worst.
