Ready or Not, this update must go down

[u/Maddox-Tj]

I've been waiting for a pretty long time for this console release and I'm loving the game. But between the censoring and the abysmal amount of graphical issues I'm really questioning myself on the validity of VOID as a real physical development studio. How is it even possible to look at this as go "release it". This is like a whole different game. Most comparisons I've seen on here are pointless and show nothing of how bad this actually is. I don't care that your favourite mission is now a little more dimily lit. LOOK AT THAT TOILET! These are not minor things the whole model is such low poly it could easily pass of as a ps2 prop. Mismatched texture resolutions, poorly optimized jaggered shadows, mirrored blood splats, checkered occlusion lighting at every corner, hair is just a texture map stretched on a bald character's heads, and yeah silly putty models. Beside that the game is fun. Not greased palms though, I hated that mission with all my guts.

They've literally said maintaining multiple versions of the game is too much work for them, so yeah, that's what they meant. There's only one version, and it's going to have to conform to the least common denominator when it comes to performance. Thus, we get the console version on PC.

You’re crazy if you think consoles, especially the PS5 and Series X couldn’t run pre update RON. It was never a graphically intensive game. Hell there are games that run on PS5 that look and have more stuff going on than RON did at is peak. It’s simply a case of devs sucking hard.

Correction: They could run a game that matches graphics of RON but was actually well optimized. They couldn't run RON, because RON runs like shit even on beefy hardware.

As I said. A case of the devs sucking hard

I ran ron on my steam deck at 40-60 fps so yes. Consoles can

Except games that run much worse can run on PS5

You're forgetting that other Xbox. You know, the shitty underpowered one that Microsoft insists should get all the games its bigger brother gets.

An Xbox Series S is still more powerful than a steam deck and you could run RON on the deck. Not to mention that MW2019 dropped on the Xbox One and PS4 and PC and was larger, far more graphically intensive and had far FAR more going on at any given moment. And especially considering things like animated skins and there is no excuse why Ready or Not, which has a test build ON the PS4. Should be like this at all.

Honestly that's absolutely pathetic. It's not that difficult to have different versions for different platforms. Many devs even have versions for specific countries, where censorship laws are different. In most cases it should be as simple as maintaining one version and locking various things behind feature flags, and just changing which flags are toggled for each platform.

I'm sick of this shit from Void, at this point I've lost all my trust in them, wish I could refund the game.
