Been watching gameplay on YouTube today, I’m seeing a lot more of the genericness too. It’s really starting to feel like we’d all be better off replaying SR3 Remaster lol
This could end up being the most fun game out this year.
Highly recommend getting it at some point, it’s a great remaster!

Yup, looked little generic and gunplay seemed off when I saw that gameplay video. Probably wait to see if they fix the bugs and optimize better before taking another look.
"The problem is that the characters are uninteresting, the gameplay lacks originality or polish and technically the game sometimes shows debilitating bugs."
So far I'm having fun with the opening mission. Shooting people feels solid.

PS5 | SX:
There are five different graphics modes - two at 1080p, two at 1440p and one at 4K - plus toggles for ray-traced ambient occlusion (RTAO) on the high quality 1080p and 1440p modes.
Ray-traced ambient occlusion is a superb extra that adds more realistic shading
NPCs with low frame-rate animation at range that unfortunately stick out like a sore thumb on PS5 and Series X
We noted no visual differences between PS5 and Series X in terms of settings or resolution
1080p Mode:
Kicking off with the 1080p options, there are three ways to play: 1080p max FPS, 1080p ultra, and 1080p ultra with RTAO. If 60fps is your priority these are really the modes to look at, especially if you don't have a VRR-capable TV or monitor.
the 1080p ultra mode with RTAO still hangs between 40 to 60fps in big missions. It's variable, and the minimum frame-rate climbs to ~50fps by switching off RTAO altogether
So assuming you don't have access to VRR, 1080p max FPS is the closest to delivering a locked 60fps
The bigger issue is that 1080p just doesn't look great compared to the higher resolution modes when scaled to a 4K set
1440p Mode:
At 1440p, you also three settings options: 1440p high FPS mode, 1440p high quality mode and 1440p high quality with RTAO
The performance-focused high FPS mode does sacrifice geometry and distant grass detail to better salvage 60fps. Drops to 50fps are still possible, but this 1440p high FPS can work beautifully with a VRR display
The other modes operate at too low a frame-rate to recommend, meanwhile, dropping below the 48fps threshold required for the PS5's VRR support
2160p Mode:
You can opt for a native 4K, 3840x2160, but this comes at the cost to other visual settings with drops to shadow quality, world draw and foliage density. Despite this, frame-rates are all over the shop, even dropping below 30fps in an early cutscene. Again, a 30fps cap would be a big benefit for the majority of scenes that can manage 30fps in this mode.
Performance:
Performance between PS5 and Series X is interesting too - in 1440p high quality with RTAO, there is a consistent 3-6fps advantage for PS5, with a higher differential in dense grassy areas and a lower differential during (more CPU-dependent) rapid driving scenarios. In the 4K mode, the Series X performs better than PS5, but the circa 1fps difference is academic. Either way the recommended way to play on Series X and PS5 is the 1440p high FPS mode, for the best balance of performance and visuals.
Series S:
Series S has no settings to change at all.
the junior Xbox console appears to run closest to Series X's 1080p max FPS mode: native 1080p without RTAO
Series S still runs typically between 40-50fps in most areas, and even below that in big missions. I've seen interior areas strike a full 60fps

I am way early in the game. Like WAY. I did the opening cutscene, built my character and just started the gameplay, which included following an APC into a patch of enemies. Old school graphics and animations without a doubt. But holy s*** is there a lot going on. The amount of AI, explosions on the screen at a time is crazy. Seems like they are digging deep into the processing with so much going on.
Playing in 4K on XSX. Nothing spectacular. But so far, I can see it's gonna be a fun ride.

Yeah I did the first couple missions and I’m having way more fun than I was expecting. I saw a decent amount of jank, but I actually was pretty impressed by the graphics. The videos on YouTube do not do it justice. The world is empty as hell though.
The story is super hit and miss. I liked the dialogue a lot in the first mission and then it goes super cringe when you go home to your friends to drink mimosa’s and debate morality lol.
The gameplay is really satisfying though. LOVE the takedowns! Also love all the difficulty customization options. The driving is also ridiculous but in a fun way in my opinion.
Overall I think this will be a keeper
