this is the new norm, when you get a company like Naughty Dog to release an unfinished buggy game.................
Who buys any games on day one these days? The experience is always better if you give it some time. On the other hand, somebody has to take the fall so that the bugs can be reported.
Yeap, read that this game likes 32 gig system memory (which alot of users dont have) and tons of Vram (10gig+).
People trying to run this on a SteamDeck or lowend PC are not in for a great experiance.
That was for the "ultra" recommended specs. Any PC game that requires horsepower like that 9 times out of 10 means it's highly unoptimized and the developers are trying to brute force decent performance.
It was only a 35MB update. So it was probably a "put the immediate fire out" patch, but so much more work is going to be needed.
Still, the update came less than a day after release.....could've been a day one patch? EDIT: back to back patch days?????
Game runs great on PS3, PS4, and PS5. PS Console Master Race...
Wasn't Sony telling CMA that Microsoft could "sabotage" their games on competing platforms?
Is this Sony's practice? "Accuse them of what you do..."
I'm just kidding, but Sony should have released a fully optimized game. Yet another negative stain on Sony's image... This year has not been easy.
They were voted top publisher and rumors are they are about to have the biggest sales quarter in console history. TLOU TV show has also done massively well. This has been an amazing year for Sony.
The game is in good shape. It is a direct PS5 port, and if you don't have a 12GB VRAM card and 32GB of system memory, you have to turn down settings to medium.
You need to be conservative with your VRAM usage for this game. If you have an 8GB card, even the 3070 Ti, you need to play with medium settings. That's a bummer, but it should solve most crash issues.
