It's bad news for anyone with an Nvidia 10-series GPU.
Remedy has released its financial statement for the first quarter of 2024, and despite strong sales, Alan Wake 2 has yet to recoup its development costs.
Lol. I imagine there's still alot of people that buy physicals. Or atleast see what kind of new games are out by what they see in real stores. This is on them. Idda paid 70 day one physical. Now I won't pay more then 15 for it
Remedy has made a couple of changes to its core management team with the goal to grow Alan Wake and Control into larger franchises.
Changes like not being anti consumer? putting out Alan Wake Remastered on disc but not the sequel?
With path-traced diffuse lighting and reflections even the mighty RTX 4090 can't hit 60 FPS at 4K without frame generation.
I have to admit that it's pretty demanding for 30 FPS/1980P experience( w Raytracing) demands a PC a lot more powefull compared to Serie X and PS5.
I swear some of these demanding games don't even look that good yet u can barely play them like wtf.
Look at uncharted 4 game still looks better than most of these new games but u can run it easy.
Wtf are some of these game devs doing? Everything has upscaling too as default like it's just embarrassing.
It's almost like its on purpose like they have a deal with gpu makers to just fill their games with crap so that people are forced to buy new gpu's. That's my tinfoil hat moment of the day but something aint right.
Demanding? Hardly, 3700x was released in 2019 and only just caught up to Intel's 8700k which was usually still better in games. 16GB of ram has been cheap for ages, at least for DDR4.. Even 32GB of good speed DDR5 is reasonable now.
You can argue the 4070 requirement for Ultra is maybe a little steep but TBF the Nvidia cards this gen are all mostly poor price/performance unless you plump for a 4090, anything below that AMD has pretty much got the market on for raster performance for the money.
"It's bad news for anyone with a 10 series GPU" uhhh okay. So you want games to advance but run well on what's now slow hardware. I mean the 3700x CPU is kind of okay but only just, there's much faster CPUs now in terms of IPC and clocks, from both Intel and AMD.
Except 720p ps5 version fsr scaled to 4k or 1440p. Consoles have became slow again.
Well shit and I just upgraded to a 1440p monitor, after 10+yrs of 1080p 😀 Finally got what I wanted. 24" 1440p 165hz gsync IPS, and 123ppi (AOC Q24G2A) had to import it from Amazon UK to the US but so far I'm happy with it. Now to retire my 3070, as the future for that card at 1440p looks bleak. 😟
