You guys are absolutely hilarious here tbh. As I've mentioned here several times, I've been a Sony only gamer more or less since the PS2 days and have maybe played an xbox for a total of 10 minutes in my entire life, so being called a shill for xbox makes me howl with laughter that adult men actually behave like this.

The game obviously looks great visually and looks like it's probably decent fun, getting good reviews. First exposure to this was that I saw a twitter embedded thumbnail in Discord and my first thought was wow that looks great, didn't even know what the game was or what platform it was on, just immediately responded to the artwork. Videos looked like good fun. Went to look what it was oh shit it's Xbox/PC guess I'm not playing it.

Come here and comment positively on what I saw and of course this place is above a cool looking game because xbox reasons. I expected more people to be like "shit this looks good wish we could be playing this". Instead it's the usual xbox butthurt & even downplaying that the game looks any good when we all know damn well if this was a PS exclusive you'd be rubbing it in xbox fans noses for having such a cool looking title.
It does look good buts it's not the second coming of Christ dammit.

What do you want BLOOD?😍

i get the excitement over xbox finally having a non-racing game... but this is too much.

likewise the forspoken hate. they want to stick sony with a 60 so bad, but when it's surrounded by 80's and 90's it fails to make a mark. Plus with all the animosity they have for Square-enix over all the skips lately, they doubly hate on the game.

xbox on the other hand has earned it's yellow flush, straight-60 moniker year after year, with consistently low quality releases.

Don't tell me you didn't notice something is going on.

I didn't, I don't dwell in the world of videogame news and drama that much. I only saw this game because some vids were shared by some friends in discord and the only forum I come to for games is here. And my take on what I see here is a lot of people strangely coming down harsh on something I thought looked pretty awesome.

I don't doubt that there are xbox die hards who are maybe a little too excited that they have something worth discussing and are overplaying that, but I also don't see them either unless I go looking for it, and it wouldn't bother me if they do exist, who gives a shit if game starved people are happy they finally got something cool. It's understandable on some level whereas denying a cool game looks cool because of console affiliation is pretty lame to me.

Like I said just expected maybe a bit more "shit this looks cool wish we could be playing this" instead of "LOL imagine thinking this will save the sinking ship"

The game does look good, happy for people that are enjoying it.

Although it dose not look like my kind of game personally I can see why others might like it.

It does look cool and it's a great game but the way Xbox got it was always going to irk some people.

It's just sad that Tango made this game to find a new audience and they ended up on the smallest platform with no relevance in their home country.

Game looks fantastic. I can’t imagine anyone legitimately disputing this. They nailed the modern cel-shading look and the SEGA-like use of color.

It’s the best use of the style outside of a fighting game I think we’ve seen to date.

I did not buy Forspoken. I would’ve bought this. Square still sucks until FF16 saves their company.

If Kamiya knew how to run a business and wasn't a toxic prick, he wouldn't have had to sell out to Bethesda in the first place. He's reaping what he spent decades in the industry sowing.

Same goes for Itagaki not being able to get funding anymore.

Currently on track 3. Visually, game looks excellent from environments to cut scenes to animations, it's all very well done. Vibrant, colorful, a pleasure to play through. Combat and gameplay is really good and includes platforming. Voice acting is solid and the music though is underwhelming to me thus far. I was expecting more heavy metal music and not really doing it for me two tracks in. Story and characters are solid thus far and the boss fights were really good. I will see how it goes. I started on hard difficulty but now playing on normal difficulty as of track 3. I know how many tracks (chapters) there are in the game and must admit that it's longer than expected. Two tracks took me over 5 hours to get through. Of course, im not rushing through the game and exploring in the process. I think the platforming is the standout for me gameplay wise. Still very early though. Not even 25% through the game yet so will see how the rest goes.

The best thing is that everyone always calls games like Bayonetta and DMC "stylish action games" and rely on timed mechanics for combos etc. This game takes it to the next logical step and makes it a core part and eases the player in. You will do damage even if you are completely off-key, but the more on-key you are, the higher damage you do.

The audio/visual presentation are also fantastic.

Like the DF crew said, I expect this to be prominent in graphics based award categories at years end.

Series X runs at 4K 60 FPS
Series S runs at 1440p 60 FPS w/ minor shadow distance cut-backs
PC version ships without shader stutters, a rarity for an Unreal engine game.

It really bums me out to not have this on PS5 because this game is exactly my kind of shit graphically and gameplay wise, initially I didn't even know about the music beat stuff and that makes it even more awesome to me. Maybe I'll build a PC again some day and check it out.

If you have a good, consistent, internet connection you can try streaming it via Xcloud.

This game should run well on a toaster. It does not need 12TF or full fledged RDNA2....

You'd think that, but we have simplstic looking open world games running sub 1080p and still hitting 20 FPS releasing in the same window ..

Besides, for a game like this, where maintaining a good consistent beat is KEY, a solid performance should be important and they did that.
