[V_K]

Weird West is built in UE4

I'm pretty interested to see how this one pans out.

What's so bad about it being in UE4?

I'm more excited about after having played Seven: Days Long Gone. A more systemic driven title...fabulously optimistic

Games made on it are not moddable. Not familiar with the other technical details regarding performance or anything other like that.

What's so bad about it being in UE4?

Shit performance on AMD devices and shit graphical quality (at least on AMD devices). Like, it looks and runs worse than even Unity, not to mention CryEngine.

It's a top down game... is it really going to be that technically demanding? I don't buy "graphics are worse in UE" given that it usually boils down to the art style and assets the studio makes themselves (outside of any game engine).

The modding thing is more annoying and I didn't know that was an issue with Unreal.

I dunno why but in every UE game I've played textures looked soapy as fuck, even on high settings. I remember reading somewhere that UE's anti-aliasing boils down to blurring everything to shit than applying sharpening filers. That would explained a lot, if true.

I love top down shooters like this, but where is the RPG? I did a very brief search, but didn't turn up anything describing its mechanics.

Seems like they're going for Divinity:OS weather/elements effects & combos.

Is it just me or there is framedrops in the middle?

Is it just me or there is framedrops in the middle?

think it may be on purpose, like 'slow down tactical mode or something' --it appears to exactly match temporally with one of the skill buttons that lights up on the character HUD, and then goes away when the button is no longer lit, making me think it may be some skill...not sure though..

 

[kangaxx]

I know the game is called "Weird West" but I hope they don't go too long on zombies.

Oh, that? I was just playing around with my GLOO cannon...

NPCs poop even.

This game is realtime?

 

[luj1]

Disgusting...

What else did you think it was going to be? I don't think TB gameplay was ever on the table when the game is billed as an immersive sim.

I think it has a lot more to do with it being developed by Colantonio, who IIRC has never made a TB game, than with immersive sims.
On an unrelated note, I'd love a TB immersive sim.

I'd love a TB immersive sim.

Yeah, bring giant tarantulas.

Gotta say, the game looks pretty neat and is now on my radar.

Let us hope the don't destroy it with SJW trash.
