Turok 2024
Consider me intrigued.
Why the f I see vertical gameplay of someone playing 16:9?
Ahh, a game dedicated to being a stealth archer, fuck yeah, I'm in.
I know right. He knew that was the best way to play Skyrim. This game looks bad ass.
I never used any ranged weapon in the game, did I miss out?
If you like being OP, definitely.
There were other ways to successfully play base Skyrim??
Stealth and daggers backstab could also eliminate having to interact with the actual combat of the game, making for a better experience.
Yeah, but...that sounds like effort. Much easier to slap a stabby bit on the end of a stick and only occasionally accidentally kill a random goat.
I played the demo for a few hours. Might be a solo dev, but his experience is definitely noticeable. Game looks great, albeit unoptimized. Progression is simple and fair. Artwork is incredible for a solo dev. Combat is decent, and unexpectedly satisfying.
Someone else mentioned the excessive blood explosion - it’s the best feeling when you land one of those shots from across a field.
GPU: 4 GB VRAM GeForce GTX 980/Radeon RX 580
Dammit, my iGPU has more than enough computing power but only half of the VRAM.
iGPU's can use system RAM to supplement VRAM. Might still be doable
Right, i forgot about that. A bios setting, right?
I believe so
back in the day I had an ATI system that shared system ram through the iGPU to the GPU(both ATI). turned my 2gb GPU into 4gb and saved me from building a new system for like a decade.
not sure if they do it anymore, but it'd be nice.
There is a demo, so you can see if it will run well enough for you before you buy it.
a demo in this day? dev knows what's up
Remember getting demo discs in magazines? Great times
as a poor kid living in the sticks demo discs were the only way I could play many games.
if it weren't for them, I would have never gotten into games, nor computers, nor my career that has elevated my QOL.
could say demo discs saved my life from many hardships.
Looks interesting, but the music should hit WAY harder, IMO. Based on the visuals, I was expecting early 2000s Opeth, and I got late 2010s Opeth instead.
The music is all written by a member of ISIS, which is pretty heavy, but in an "atmospheric sludge/post-metal" way. So I can see how you'd think that if you're looking for something more death metal (which would fit in the fight scenes, although atmospheric sludge or funeral doom would go pretty well in the rest of the game)
Oh snap thanks for pointing this out! Been a long time and I haven't kept up with ISIS, but their Panopticon was damn near genre-defining for me at the time.
Still took less time than Elder Scrolls 6 to come out
This looks like skyrim sneaky archer: the game.
Definitely gunna play this.
