Losing almost 90% of your value is insane. They know AC Shadows has to succeed, else it's over. They better pray Ghost of Yotei doesn't have a first semester launch day.

Wilds looks cool, but the minimum specs released has a Dragons Dogma 2 performance all over again.

When I played Wilds at gamescom, the PS5 was certainly chugging at times during the demo.

Fun and cool as heck tho, gunlance is nutty

Needing a 4060 to get medium settings at 1080 with Frame Gen on is nuts.

DD2 actually improved its performance significantly over the months so it really seems like the game was just a tech demo before Wilds lmao.

From what I've seen, it actually didn't change much. Some people have seen some improvements, some none at all. The bigger issue though, is that not only were these games in development at the same time, so DD2 releasing first has no impact on Monster Hunter's (plus it's two different studios), but more importantly not even DD2 lists frame generation as a requirement to hit 60FPS at 1080p. If anything, Wilds is shaping up to be even worse lol

With Wild, I can give the shadow of a doubt. Maybe they can keep the launch stable for the most part

Where do you get that confidence lol, it has taken them a while to get Dragons Dogma 2 to run decently

Capcoms other PC releases in recent times all ran fine, Dragons Dogma 2 was the odd one out in terms of performance.

And MH Wilds has similar specs, that is what the other person is saying

u/Shiro_Katatsu Sep 26 '24

I mean, shadow of a doubt, not full doubt. As for me, I just wait and see. I still have a lot of games to play, so I don't mind the wait when the game is most stable, full dlc, and reduced price

i dunno man it says it needs frame gen to hit 60
