I can imagine the reason for gamepass not being popular on PC is because people have learned what the subscription model means. Monthly fee that keeps going up and up and when you finally get tired of it all your games are gone. Personally I just use Steam and pick up most of my games on sales

[@fcukugimmeausername]

Yep. That's basically what happened to my XSX. I had Gamepass Ultimate for a good few years, then turned it off and realised 90% of my games were reliant on a current subscription. I only played one or two of those games regularly and renewing my subscription easily meant I would pay much more than I would have for those games instead of just buying them outright.

[@Cloysterpete]

I'm stacked up for another three years so I’ll have had nearly ten years of awesome game rental for close to zero money, so it’s been fantastic for me!. It’ll be £20 a month by the time my subscription runs out, at that point it’ll be cheaper for me to just buy what I want to play in a sale, I'm extremely slow at actually playing through games.

[@cheungchingtong]

That footage was originally released by Playstation China on Bilibili, not IGN China, don't know why it was not the Playstation but IGNCN to post that footage here on YT, so I guess IGNCN forward that video from Bilibili to KZbin, and here is the thing, Bilibili has poor compression on 4k video, much worse than KZbin, if you think the video quality is bad because of the compression, maybe it is. But no one really knows, guess we will wait for GS to release some more PS5 gameplays themselves then.

As a Linux user I can confirm that pre-compiled shader distribution works in the valve ecosystem on the desktop for non Steam Deck devices. In the Linux build of steam is a toggle to enable shader pre-caching and sharing with others. So it's a crowd sourced effort similar to steam input configs but without user interaction. You can additionally decide if you want to enable "background processing" similar to downloads during gameplay.

[@Yobleck]

Doesn't it rely on some kind of DX12 to Vulkan translation thing?

[@TheShitpostExperience]

@@Yobleck Yes but generally there's no performance loss. If anything some benchmarks show better performance on linux due to lower OS overhead. That said it's a game to game thing, some games may perform better on windows, some on linux, it all depends on how resources are allocated to the system, but for the most part you can expect same performance at least on linux.

Regarding the admin account thing, it's more bizarre and a bit absurd imo. If I understood the HUB video correctly, it's apparently not enough to run with a local admin account (local account in the administrators group). AMD is saying you have to run with the SID 500 built-in admin account. This is ridiculous. I'm pretty knowledgeable on Windows (I can't know EVERYTHING though), and I've never heard of any difference between the SID 500 account vs running with a local admin account for something like this. Regardless, Steve GN addressed it well imo. He said they're ignoring AMD's advice about the admin account because they test all of the CPUs in the same way. It's no longer "apples to apples" if you're going to compare Zen 5 with PBO vs Zen 4 without, or if you're going to run as admin for Zen 5 but not Zen 4. He said they'd compare like for like and leave it at that. HUB said that running with the admin account also boosted performance for Zen 4, so that's still not going to help Zen 5 look better. This whole release is bizarre. Intel was already self-pwning themselves, and AMD managed to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

[@AusOpening]

Yeah best to avoid this gen altogether - especially if you play at 4K zen 5 makes absolutely no difference even compared to zen 3 bc of gpu bottleneck.

The built-in Administrator account can't run any UWP programs by default. Just search User Account Control: Admin Approval Mode for the Built-in Administrator account

[@donkeymoo1581]

AMD watched some fps gain youtube videos that tell you to disable all security to get more fps and thought "hey that sounds cool lets say that for our new terrible cpus" Wish HUB never made that video. Even if they clearly state you should not use this it is an insane risk for minor performance gains you know full well thousands of people will still do it because as clear by fps guide online people will disregard absolutely every security feature in the world to get 1-5 fps more in a video game.

[@shaw1484]

Great point Zed. Not just that though, valve asked players not to share info, it's not about a journalist reporting on it and "doing his job" as Rich and the team mentioned, this is valve specifically asking players not to talk about the game publicly. It doesn't matter how many concurrent players or how poorly kept the secret is. Valve asked not to share, to make an article about the game and specifically pointing out and flaunting the fact you read the message and chose to ignore it is just the icing on the idiot cake. Game is heavily in development with work in progress assets and so they don't want press coverage that could lead to negative thoughts about a game prior to release. Not much much really here to discuss. "Please don't share information about the game" a clear and easy to understand message, the journalist who reported on this is an idiot and as unlikely as it is, I hope other developers don't give the verge any behind the scenes stuff in the future. It shows a complete disregard of developer wishes, and a typical desperate act for clicks as is so very common with these terrible online publications. Verge has been a garbage fire of reporting and "journalism" for a long time, less we forget the time they showed everyone how to build a pc by doing every aspect of the build incorrectly prompting real pc builders to respond with their own videos showing how to actually do it properly. Would hope that DF team could do better in future rather than giving passes to fellow journalists for stupid behaviour.

[@shaw1484]

​@wsjudd I wonder if misreporting on info about where and how to discuss the game is part of why valve has specifically asked people to not to talk about the game. If one journalist can't follow the rules and now digital foundry is now misreporting. It's almost like the press should just wait for valve to issue a press kit... hmmm...

In 2014 we released a first person game called DeadCore. The original name during crowdfunding was Deadlock. Bandai Namco (our editor) made us drop the name because there was already a game from the late 90 called Deadlock, so we changed our name to DeadCore. I find amusing that now Valve would have a first person game named Deadlock ^^.

[@adamadam6351]

Interesting!

[@hybridvigga]

That was ten years ago. If you don't use something for long enough your rights to it lapse, chances are since Namco haven't made a game called Deadlock since then, they just timed out on it. It's why Transformers re-use names for other, completely different Transformers from the past, it's to keep the copyright going for when they do re-releases or new versions of the old ones, if they leave it too long without using it again, they loose the name and somebody else can start using it, and put their own copyright on it that would stop Hasbro re-using it. Like Captain Marvel, who was bought by DC, then not used for a long time, and when Marvel saw that the copyright expired they introduced their own Captain Marvel, and DC weren't allowed to use the name anymore and started calling their one Shazam.

[@BlindTrustProject]

@@hybridvigga Sorry I wasn't clear : Bandai namco was editing OUR game, so they feared kipping the name Deadlock was to risky and asked us to change it to DeadCore to avoid to have to deal with potential legal issues down the road. And they were right. Because the same week we released DeadCore, the old Deadlock game from 1996 (Deadlock : Planetary Conquest) was re-released on Steam... Talk about a coincidence. ;-)

[@obiwanmedeiros4501]

1:06:30 Square's version of Unreal 4 is heavily modified and the team is used and expect those changes to work on the third installment.

They want organic opinions and discussions among the community rather than having people rally with their favorite creators.

[@damianabregba7476]

They want to reduce the effect of ,,influencers" and how their arbitrary opinions and even manipulations are absorbed by others. As you said, taints their first impression which is the most important impression. Not only that, but it gives the message, that they want to work with players and not just media in the form of extended marketing. Makes it feel more honest.

In the video they kept coming up with excuses like "you can just type it in search" and "the guy ignoring a polite request is just doing his job", but I wouldn't know about Deadlock if it wasn't for that guy. Never even heard the name. And I'm the guy that consumes gaming content daily, so you can bet there's many more people out there that didn't know about it. One of the few things I dislike about DF is how they always seem to avoid topics and opinions that could upset big publishers, developers or media. Like when someone publishes a barely working turd for people to buy and the video on it sounds like a guide for "baby's first PC port". People that don't know what an FOV slider is should not be working on those and don't deserve the benefit of the doubt.

As someone who has been gaming on the series X primarily since it came out and only recently switching to PC gamepass, I think the biggest issue that is preventing gamepass growth on PC is the terrible UI. On PC you are competing against so many other launchers(the biggest being Steam obviously) as well as competing against a lot of cheap and free games. The gamepass value proposition has to be a little bit higher on PC. I don’t mean that it needs to have more games but potentially a focus on making the service more user friendly and provide better discovery

Love John's perspective of the value of Xbox to someone who owns a 4090. Microsoft and Sony are both moving away from permanent exclusivity and if you've invested thousands into PC then sure, not much of a value proposition to also get a console, and I hear this perspective a LOT online. But many people aren't going to own a 4090 and these consoles are a good value proposition as an alternative platform for the latest games.

Indeed. I like cross saves on xbox because I can pick up later on my laptop. Also gaming on a couch in front of a tv is still a thing.

Obviously when people make that statement they are speaking from a personal perspective.

[@mondodimotori]

23:00 why should you be excited about those? High core counts CPUs are not the best solution for games. You would still prefer faster cores than number of cores, and of course the amount of cache. That's why the 5800X3D still shows very high up in Gamers Nexus benchmarks. I'm one of those excited about the 9900x and 9950x just because I work in rendering, and still rely a lot on CPU rendering. The more cores I have the merrier. And we saw increases in performances in those applications. If you want to just play games, either get a 7800X3D or wait for new 9000 X3D CPUs.

[@originalityisdead.9513]

IGN China has PS5 gameplay. The game is using UE5, so i wouldn't expect it to look crisp and clear as no UE5 games do on console.

[@CheesyX2]

It runs just fine on pc, at least the benchmark tool. Everything maxed out (Cinematic) including Full Ray-Tracing on Max, 3440x1440p Resolution. I get 73-105 fps with Frame Generation and about half that without it. Without Ray-Tracing it's running at a locked 144fps (limit of my monitor) with Frame-Generation and 80-110fps without. Not bad at all considering it's all maxed out and is the first UE5 title that pushes the engine. You can drop the settings down to ultra (which look identical in the benchmark run) or even high to gain even more fps. Dropping from cinematic to ultra gains you an additional 10-20fps. Given that this game is not even out yet, it (at least the benchmark) performs better than most games released the last 2 years especially given what's on display. Tested it yesterday on a 4070 Ti Super paired with a 7950X3D and 64GB of RAM, yes it is quite a powerful system but again you still have the option to turn down settings and even on lowest settings at least the benchmark scenes still look very very good. I don't know what people are doing with their systems that they are that bogged down in performance. After my benchmark run i stumbled upon a video from Vex and with almost the exact configuration (apart from his CPU being a 7800X3D) and the same settings he got almost half the fps that i got.

[@paul1979uk2000]

I usually find when publishers are quiet on any given platform, it doesn't bold well for the game on that platform, because usually, if the game is running great, they would be singing from the rooftop about it. In any case, we'll find out soon enough. As for me, I personally always play games on the PC, but I rarely play games on release because of the state so many games run in, but once I get around to buying, they usually run really well, I found that out with Batman Arkham Knight that ran like dog shit on release, but when I got around to playing, thanks to the freebie from Epic, the game ran like a dream that I was surprised how smooth it actually ran with all the negatives it got on release. The moral of that little story is that it pays to wait it out, not only do you get a game that runs better with better performance and less issues, but you also get the game cheaper, and this is probably why I rarely have issues with games on PC, because I play them well after release when they run a lot better, whereas the ones buying on release are really getting a raw deal, paying more for a worse product, and not just on PC, even consoles we are seeing a lot more issues on many games on release.

DF have stated that a handheld series S is not an easy machine to make. If more series S consoles are sold than series X it seems dumb to abandon a next generation series S. To me it seems sensible for xbox to release a next gen series S and X. And to also have an independant handheld line that has a completely separate release schedule. And separate certification process. I think gaming generations are now dictated by game engine releases not hardware releases. This why the current generation has been totally underwhelming. We were still on unreal engine 4 until very recently

John with a beard is so PEGI 18 and I'm lovin' it!

Deadlock looks nothing like Fortnite. John is so clueless

*R9-9900x/9950x performance issues...* BUT... I'm pretty sure they work better on LINUX. If that's the case, it's an OS software issue, not something you need a BIOS update (microcode in CPU update) to fix. I guess the Linux info came out after you guys made this video. There may also be multiple issues. Also, it's worth noting AMD has said that the architectural changes will benefit FUTURE software changes.

[@Nick-cs4oc]

It seems like if Valve actually wanted to keep it secret then they went about it in the worst way possible. Like if EA did the same thing the rhetoric would be completely different (not that it would be fair then either)

[@TTSAudiobooks]

I really like your videos guys, thanks for making these for us :) what would make this one specifically more pleasant was if John would wait for his turn to speak, since jumping into you guys' commentaries made this sound a bit too hard for the ear

[@davidmichaeljennings]

I will be interested to see what specs the Frankenstien ps5 pro pc will be, particularly the gpu.

[@deepblue8143]

Oh wow, it looks like I've been treated to an early birthday present! Thank you DF, its great waking up to this!

[@masterbenjamin3348]

miss the time in the game had native resolutions without fsr dlss fg etc. just a pure picture

[@thisisblain]

Christmas came early boys.

[@Razzbow]

57:00 there is an official discord for testers.

[@FBuilding]

Episode dropping early, but then there's future Rich time traveling to the past in it. This is too much time juggling for my brain. We're just missing VanDamme's bare buttocks.

[@Demmortal]

FSR looks alot better then TSR in this game, u need to check again

[@BarryMagikarp]

Pre compiled shaders are a linux/proton thing in general on steam, just the compilation happens at game launch rather than a download.

[@Gkhn32]

I am glad that Richard mentioned "over-sharpened" look of the base picture. Actually, DLSS looks even worse because of the clarity or maybe double sharpening (dlss+ue5). It looks like a sharpy effect we have seen on Lords of the Fallen and the early days of Witcher 3 with High Sharpening setting. It looks awful. We were able to defeat it in Robocop by tweaking the ue5 engine.ini settings. I hope it is the case here. Because with lords of the fallen, it didn't work. The game looks awful and somewhat fake-cartoonish (it is difficult to put out) with that excessive sharpening.

review code already out for black myth, reviews are in! suprised eurogamer or df dont have this when ign have reviewed it

[@spenny2cents]

Reviews are In!? A whole day or two before release wowzers what a tremendous feat from the developers

[@mrwalker6026]

Looks like its using FSR to upscale from sub 1080p and artefacting seen in games like Jedi Survivor..

[@ajayvailaya2091]

Alex was rendered using FSR2 this week

[@fractalsauce]

Good lord this just scared the shit out of me! I thought I was 5 hours late for work!

[@GameTechLead]

Normally I would agree that TSR does a better job than FSR but not in this benchmark. FSR does have problems when alpha tested objects are dis-occluded but other than that it's far more stable than TSR and gives more detail. I'm saying this after comparing both at 1440p and 67% upscaling.

[@Dr.RojoMcDelly]

Shiny Alex ?

[@metalhead2550]

Might as not bother with the Switch 2 now, hardware is multiple generations out of date now

[@dabuski1]

Hi John...have you tried the PC adapter for PSVR2 yet?

[@sasquatchsenpai]

AMD had the chance to take over the market with Intel shitting their pants infinite times. They said "nah we gonna join the shit show." WOW

[@Hazmatt36000]

It’s funny that anyone playing wu kong on console will never know just how amazing graphics can be when all the best features are turned off or down. Hope they have a friend with a PC so they can see in person the way it was really built.

[@Phiidyn]

I believe this "awkwardness" surrounding the direction of Xbox is a symptom of an internal struggle with leadership at Microsoft. I'd believe that even they aren't able to agree on which path to take forward and that indecision/infighting is something consumers are picking up on right now, manifesting itself as confusion from the loss of brand identity.

[@soulshinobi]

There's nothing "odd" going on with Zen 5 beyond them simply not being done yet with developing the product. Was much more hopeful for them, considering Intel cannibalizing its reputation, but "AMD never misses and opportunity to miss an opportunity."

[@sconathon]

valve banning the verge guy is just a funny way to drum up more press
