I've watched a bunch of videos of this and it really looks just like Battlefield 4, only with slightly newer graphics. It's just so lame that they decided to do a future game and then set it in such a near-future era it's basically indistinguishable from earlier iterations of the modern warfare battlefield games, instead of doing something distinctive and cool like 2142 with all it's unique modes, vehicles, weapons, etc. What am I missing? Are there any actual futuristic things that I just didn't pick up on in trailers?

The rx580 was basically an overclocked rx480, the 560 is slower than the 580 so that's the reason.

That period of time for AMD was...interesting the RX 500 series is almost the exact same process and architecture as the 400 series but with some tweaks to allow it to clock slightly higher.

The first number, 4 or 5 is the generation while the 60 or 80 is the tier within the generation.

The 560 was about ~50% slower than the 480. It's like comparing a 980Ti (the flagship of it's generation) to something like the 1060 the next year.

You're missing that this is a modern military shootmans game because modern military shootmans sell the best and they hope to appeal to the modern military shootmans crowd since coddern warfare 2019 and warzone has been eating their lunch.

It's just set every so slightly into the future so they can have robodogs and emp grenades and speculative near future versions of existing vehicles so that they're not beholden to real life vehicle capabilities for balancing purposes.

Yeah. Its easier for them to just pick the low end card of a generation as reference than to like individually call out the exact minimum for each old gen. Not difficult to check benchmarks to see how a non specified card stacks up against what their recommended min is though.

The only gameplay videos out (aside from the Beta trailer) were from the tech test, which like BF4's tech test, had reduced graphics settings/performance. Most of the futuristic stuff is probably coming from the specialist gadgets.

Yeah not sure how a 4C/4T lines up with a 3000 series 6C/12T or how a 2000 series AMD CPU with worse IPC than a 3000 series is recommended

Edit: the 3600 performed roughly 20% faster than the 6600K in Battlefield V so I don't know what the gently caress :dice: is smoking

How about I bend your body into funny balloon animal shapes?

So the recommended specs have definitely increased since first shown. Originally they said 2060 which made me happy since that's what I own, now it's saying 3060. Guess the technical alpha gave them a lot of insight since it ran like garbage.

I played it safe -- finally upgraded from my trusty i7 2600k (bought for BF3) and 2060 Super. 5900x paired with a 3080 should be just fine. But this is :dice: of course...

I guess my fantasy of a creative AAA shooter with cool giant robots and innovative game modes will have to remain in 2006

BFV was a truly awful game - I was almost astounded at how much worse they made every part of it - but I really, really enjoyed BF1. It wasn't perfect and the weapon selection was questionable in a lot of ways, on top of having many of the same problems as BFV in terms of progression and basic mechanics, but I think the maps worked really well and the classes felt pretty good once you got a hang of them. I also loved the silly WWI tanks and the behemoth system and it had a lot of hardcore servers which were just a fantastically good time with low TTK and maps that were greatly enhanced by the low TTK. BF4 was definitely still the better game in basically every way but I guess that's why I'm disappointed by 2042, it feels like it doesn't need to exist when BF4 is still more than just playable, it looks great

I will say the way the steam page for 2042 mentions custom stuff is pretty promising, I'm hopeful it will mean actual distinct servers and not just the matchmaking mush of BFV.

Going back to BF4 after playing any modern FPS really shows how badly BF4 has aged in terms of movement and whatever the hell "feel" encompasses

Its because most reasons you think amd is good are false and in practice have little to no effect in most real world applications.

DDOSed to death I guess but I did recently play TF2 for the first time a few months ago, and I took the time to unlock everything and cap some of the grinds or whatever, and man, that was a truly spectacular online FPS. I hope this game has even a fraction of that frenetic creativity

Hm, I haven't played it in about two years, but I feel like it aged fine when I was last futzing around. Same for BF1. It's only the BF2 era of games that I have a genuinely hard time immersing myself in these days, but I'm gonna have to go back and give it another try to see if it doesn't hold up like I thought it did. The levelution stuff definitely never amounted to anything but an annoyance, especially on the flood level
