  I'm ready for the article announcing Randy takes back his statements. As is the cycle.

  Greasy bastard.

  He's just mad that he's not as good at making game engines like Id, Valve and even Epic did.

  I remember when 3 came out, i still had a ps4. The game was literally unplayable, like literally crashing every 2 minutes. Couldn’t get past the first 10 minutes of the game. Im not surprised that even on ps5 the new one is crap. It’s like they gave up after part 2

    I don’t understand how Sony would allow a game on their platform that doesn’t actually run. Like surely they will require to provide some kind of advanced copy for them to review?

      I’m pretty sure they allow anything that hits 30fps.

      There’s a process called certification you need to pass in order to release on a console where they test your game against a list of criteria outlined in the developer agreement to validate stability, minimum performance,and conformance with platform standards. Nintendo pioneered this process (the Nintendo seal of quality) in response to unauthorized developers releasing cartridges which ran poorly and could freeze or even cause damage to consoles.

      For a while, console manufacturers pretty strict about certification requirements but as time goes on they’ve been granting more and more exceptions to large publishers willing to pay fees and pinky-promise to fix the issues post-launch.

  Maybe I’m just wildly crazy here, but I think a $70 game from a big studio should run well.

  We’re not talking some $15 early access title here that lacks optimization because it’s like 2 guys making it in their free time.

  Seems fine in performance mode on PS5. Windows users having trouble?

  It’s funny given they use unreal.

    I run a 7800X3D on and X870 mobo, 64gb ram and an RTX3090, and couldn’t run it at my native 7680x2160 resolution and have a playable framerate. It was fine at 3840x1080, but randomly crashed to desktop (at 1/4 my normal resolution, that I can even play Star Citizen at.)

    I refunded it after 3 hours. This was before Randy’s ridiculous response to the criticism. I was planning on buying again later when it’s fixed, but now I’m not so sure. The man is his own worst enemy.

      He’s a bell end. He’s always been a bell end. I had the dubious pleasure of meeting him when I was working as a games press outfit’s tech monkey over a decade ago at Gamescom in Cologne.

      Every other word out of his mouth was a business buzzword, he’s smarmy and smug, my skin crawled the whole time he was present.

      It looks like he’s as high on his own farts now as he was back then.
