The biggest PC gaming mysteries we can't wait to solve.
That's great news. Hopefully the Coalition can smooth some of those edges from the last Avowed reveal.
Well I'm annoyed. Especially at all the ppl who said the graphics sucked. It's your fault they probably shifted the game to unreal so it could look more fancy for you. I was ok with it and hoping to actually play it sometime soon. Now it's like 99% chance it's delayed.
Edit: effing graphics whores

What the hell are you talking about dude? Avowed was already in development using the UE5. The Coalition is just helping Obsidian in the transition to its latest version (5.3)
Probably not even that big of a difference. Coalition might only have helped because they got a deadline to meet.
Unreal isn't nearly as bad as Unity when you update a project. Though it obviously depends on the project. But unity generally gets an aneyurism if you threaten to update, where Ue is usually less stingy.
Latest build is 5.4 and it's better than previous iterations, particularly in animation and performance.
Apparently the latest build looks way better graphically. This rumor from Jez Cordin (who's credible) pretty much confirms it.
Interested in seeing more on Avowed in a few weeks.
UE 5.3 has been out since September of last year. I can't believe this is news or that anyone is hyping this up.
As Hellblade failed to set the world on fire, just like Halo Infinite and Starfield before it, it's time to look forward to the next Game of the Decade candidate.
Of course it needs to be hyped up ahead of time 😏
I didn't mean the game itself. I can't believe there is a news article about an Unreal Engine update that launched a year ago.
Reading comprehension is tough for fanboys on N4G.
@MrNinosan I just want to see what Obsidian can do with a real budget and development time. They have a made a some memorable games with massive time constraints an lackluster funding.
Many games stick to a specific version of the Engine they had already been using to avoid delays, problems with migrations to newer stuff etc.
The version being released in September isnt really relevant, just that they decided to make the jump to it at some point in development, which is arguably good news since we know with each iteration, performance has been getting much better
@got_dam
I actually look forward to Avowed, and hope that's the game that finally make my purchase of Series X in 2020 worth it.
The game I actually bought Series X for was Starfield, but sadly it didn't do it for me.
Avowed however has the potential to be incredible.
MrNinosan, what is the last game that set the world on fire? Red Dead? GTA likely. Not every game has to set the world on fire. Those games that you mentioned fall into the 80's meta critic, and a lot of people enjoy them. And yes, I'm excited to see some of these 2024 games at the june conference.
@ThinkThink
It's MS and its fans who make it sound like every game they have on the horizon would "set the world on fire" and they all failed to reached expectations.
I don't ask for it.
But to answer your question, Final Fantasy VII Rebirth would be the last game that everyone speaks highly about.
Before that, Elden Ring, God of War Ragnarök, Ghost of Tsushima, Last of Us Part 2, Zelda BotW, Animal Crossing, Half Life Alyx....
I liked the games unique artstyle when It was revealed. I hope they're not making the migration based on criticism. It's only a rumor anyways
I imagine the art style will stay the same. But there'll probably be some visual upgrades here and there.
This was the only game I was jealous of, but It's a wait and see game now. Plus, I can wait until they release it on PSN.
Right!!! Obsidian is like only XB GS that I wanna play there games . Pillars of Eternity is one of my fav game franchises and I'd love to step back into the world of Eora . Their world building and rpg systems are one of the best , I hope XB higher ups don't get in the way of them. If they released it on ps I would definitely buy it day 1
Starfield's recent player spike is a good sign, but Bethesda desperately need to line up their Cyberpunk 2077 moment.
I feel like the second big update that releases late this year will do just that. Part of the story expansion is also new means of transportation on planets.
What player spike?
I checked steamcharts through the link in the article and it went from 8,000 to 11.500, so yea 20% but when the game peaked at 330,000 It's safe to say that the actual effect of this update was negligible.
Doubt it'll ever get redemption. As many developers have said in various interviews it's beyond saving.
Just release the mod tools and expansion and move on.
Cyberpunk 2077 had some strong bones i disliked it on launch because I could see the potential I could see the strengths of what they wanted to achieve but it wasn't done yet

Why does that zombie have pigtails?
