Drift, thank you very much for the very detailed review and videos.

Listing the graphical options was a great idea. It's sad to hear that performance wise it's worse than Death Stranding, which came out a month before it and they should have used that feedback and adjusted things. Though like you've mentioned, there's a day 1 patch coming tomorrow. Still, I don't think it will be as transformative as it should be, but will have to wait for tomorrow to confirm.

I will definitely play the game, but will wait for a Black Friday deal. I already spent almost 1k in games this summer, while I mostly ignored them and am now hooked on Destiny 2. Since it will take months until I've done everything I can in Destiny 2, I will wait for Black Friday. I will also buy Death Stranding at that time. By then I will probably have a new GPU/CPU or PlayStation 5 - depending on the price, so it will also perform better.

Cool. I hope the game performs well enough on PC, this way people will have less things to complain about it and will just enjoy the game. Which ensures that if the game gets a great reception, Sony might be more willing to release other PlayStation exclusives on PC - like Bloodborne.

Game runs great imho. RX 580 can run it maxed out with 60fps @1080p. It's only the 4k native thats an issue.

Not just 4k, the review even mentions that 1440p suffers too:

"On our rig, even playing in 1440p with ultra settings would not prevent occassional drops or micro freezes. Selecting the original graphics settings (we assume they correspond to the PS4 Pro version) didn't allow for a smooth 60 fps in native 4K either and in our experience, only the lowest settings allowed it. The day one patch might help in this regard of course, but until we know for sure, we prefer to be clear."

Looks like it needs a lot more optimization, I was expecting to see 80-100fps at 1440p with a 2080s at ultra settings. I have no interest in playing this using the "original" preset, kinda defeats the purpose of playing on PC for me, although a locked 60fps would still be an improvement over the 30fps on console.

There are problems with the port, the anisotropic filter option does not work for starters and as we said, some occasional micro freezes or stuttering happen once in a while (cutscenes, at the end of a mission, etc.). The devs have listed the main problems on Steam.

Bloodborne is pretty much confirmed. They just need to officially announce it. :)

That's disappointing. I'll wait for a Steam sale, hopefully they patch the bugs by then. I haven't seen anything from DF on this as of yet.

Same, though I've waited 3 years and a half from its February 2017 PS4 release, so I can comfortably wait 3 months and a half more till Black Friday/Cyber Monday 2020. By then not only will it be discounted - hopefully heavily discounted, but it will also have been patched by the developers and/or the community. Plus I'm sure the modding community will have released mods and other things for the game. Plus I will have a better PC then.

Save money and get a much better end product for a much better experience. Best of both worlds really. Patience and waiting for us gamers is nothing since we have such huge backlogs that most of us don't even know what to play most of the time, like which games to play first, etc. Two months ago I made a list with all the games I had on Steam, Uplay, Origin, GOG, Epic Store and Amazon Games - you get many games and content for free if you're a Amazon Prime subscriber - and it's shameful to say I barely touched most of them.

I bought Red Dead Redemption 2 Ultimate Edition and stopped playing after you settle into the camp, I also stopped 50% through Maneater, and the list goes on... I don't even care about release dates anymore, not even hyped for Cyberpunk 2077, Assassin's Creed: Valhalla and Watch Dogs: Legion since I might play them a few months after release - unless I get an uncontrollable urge to play them sooner.

So I'm mostly ignoring they're coming out. For AC:Valhalla and WD:Legion, if I wait 3 months, I can get a 20% discount on each with 100 Uplay's Club Unit Coins, plus they will have been patched, new features added, Guides for annoying quests and puzzles, etc. Patience is a virtue and an excellent one at that.

Strange thing happens with these exclusives. They look impressive on consoles but once they are ported to PC they start to look average. Higher resolution and higher fps maybe the reason for this. For example, 30fps animations don't look as fluid anymore.

Digital Foundry just released their take on Horizon: Zero Dawn's PC port, bottom line:

"deeply disappointing "

Below is the YouTube video of Digital Foundry's analysis for those who prefer to watch or listen instead of reading. It's a must-watch to see just how utterly fucked up the PC port is.

Digital Foundry - Horizon Zero Dawn PC: An Amazing Game Gets A Disappointing Port
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7w-pZm7Zay4

The game being 4K, then downscaling to 1080p, to then upscale that 1080p image to 4K again has to be one of the most bizarre things ever. Then there's the multiple crashes during the shader caching process. And those are the most smallest of all the issues.

 I just don't get this. While it's Guerrilla's second PC game - the first was a game called "Shellshock: Nam '67" from 2004 and developed for Windows, PlayStation 2 and Xbox - this is still Guerrilla Games, they're one of the best developers in the world when it comes to games' technology. Were they only allowed to put 5-10 people working on the PC port or just new hires/interns or something?!

Black Friday deal it is. Was gonna wait anyway, but this just makes me more sure of it. Because of all of these issues, I'm sure many more people will wait for it to be heavily discounted, even if the developers do fix most of the issues. Hence why buying games at launch - even ports of old games - is very unwise.

yhea, bout that, this seminal work was Naughty Dog's first game, just don't see the relevance of a bygone game of a distant proto-company, to their current status quo.

now this port "doesn't deserve they money we spent in it" job sales money is racking in, maybe they can actually pay durante's dev team to come in and fix this shitshow.

I can totally relate to this. I'm in a similar boat, I have almost 1k games on steam alone, not to mention ps4, origin, uplay etc. I will never be able to complete all these games in this lifetime, and i've come to accept that.
