GabeN plz buy Windoze and save us all

 

[ChorizoPicozo]

thats a weird

 

[M1chl]

why

 

[djjinx2]

GabeN plz buy Windoze and save us all

MS worth $3,330,000,000,000 (3.3 Trillion)
Valve worth $7,700,000,000 (7.7 Billion)

It's more likely MS buys Steam

 

[rodrigolfp]

You get what you pay for.

 

[Jack Videogames]

A little price to pay for a little price to pay

(for me)

 

[Illiterate Actual]

MS worth $3,330,000,000,000 (3.3 Trillion)
Valve worth $7,700,000,000,000,000 (7.7 Billion Quadrillion)

FTFY

Nice try Bill, but GabeN and I will not eat ze bugs.

I remember using DLSS with Jusant on PC Gamepass. It was one of the first games I could play around with my new rtx4070.

It didn't have dlss day one. Same goes for frame generation while Stem version had all this.

Get what you pay (or don't in this case) for.

I hope my little 4070 can handle this.

if you need dlss to run this game you shouldnt be gaming on a pc

Valve's worth is whatever Gabe Newell's balls feel they're worth

 

[Haint]

If I was Microsoft I've be voiding that Gamepass check and updating the contracts to require parity with every other PC platform.

 

[RadioactiveLobster]

This is what DirectSR should solve if I understand it correctly, it's just not available yet.

 

[KyoZz]

I've got a 4090 and I play with DLSS3 + DLAA whenever I get the occasion

 

[simpatico]

Main reason I ditched Game Pass was the client quality. I've got subscriptions I barely use and don't bother canceling. You have to make me mad to get me to cancel. These guys INVENTED WINDOWS are somehow have the shittiest gaming client. Makes no sense. Xbox 360 was a UI masterclass and it's been downhill ever since.

DLSS can give better image quality than native + anti-aliasing, imo.

 

[nemiroff]

 

[marjo]

Not having FSR should be considered a feature.

But seriously, I'm sure this will be patched in a few days.

 

[Magic Carpet]

Just got home and fired it up on PC Gamepass, only to discover this game is NOT controller friendly in the menu's. I had to use the mouse to enable the HDR.
Do game developers hire people who play games?

Come to think of it, the GP client might be the worst piece of software I've ever used.

Gamepass is a POS locked down environment. Fine for trying a game if you already have a sub(which I don't think is worth it), but use a decent store like Steam where you can mod etc.

[NeverYouMind]

TSR has less artifacts than those alternatives in my experience. Is weak hardware without frame gen the real issue?

 

[adamsapple]

You get what you pay for.

Y'all know the game is also available to BUY on the Windows Store, right? It's not just a game pass PC game. It's on the developer to prioritize feature-parity.

Be serious now.

Regardless. Hellblade 2 and Lords of the Fallen are 2 UE5 games that came out on PC GP less than 3 weeks ago, they both feature all the up-scalers.

Their (the chinese room's) excuse sounds bogus.

You can mod gamepass games. I have mods for Starfield.

Who buy games that are on gamepass???

The Microsoft effect.

Great, so a first party game and a game that was already available on PC via all the other storefronts for 6 months (so effectively a late "port" to the windows store).

This happened with the biggest gamepass release of the year so far and the problem still persists:

Hardware - Platform - Palworld has, once again, highlighted the on going deficiencies in PC Game Pass and the Xbox app on Windows 11 (Windows Central)

Version mismatch, clunky mod support, poor performance, and beyond. While most of the funfest has been on Steam, Palworld is also driving a huge amount of growth on Xbox as well. Xbox Cloud Gaming has been suffering queues, which often happens when a big game enters the service, and Palworld...

Why don't you ask Xbox/Microsoft why they are failing to be more open minded with the certification process when it comes to titles releasing on the Xbox store.

Stop pointing the finger at the developers/publishers every time a game releases and there is something out of kilter with the Xbox ecosystem, the patterns are clear at this point. Demand better from the people who are in charge of running and developing the platform.

You can mod gamepass games. I have mods for Starfield.

There are limitations. Anything that requires the script extenders ain't gonna work:

Starfield Script Extender (SFSE)

Starfield Script Extender (SFSE) is a tool adding additional scripting capabilities and functionality to the game.

I don't know what their certification process is and how they can be more open minded. But if a first party UE5 game, which would have the strictest of GDK adherence requirements, can implement all the up-scalers, I don't see realistically why a third party game cannot. Clearly there is support for the feature(s) in the GDK itself.

It's Xbox play anywhere supported. Whatever version is on there will need to be the same for both the Xbox version and the PC version, unless they want to go through two rounds of certification (at their own cost).

 

[analog_future]

I'll also say that the game looks very muddy, even at native 4k. Lots of low quality textures and just a generally smear-y look to the game.

 

[Magic Carpet]

Turns out my 4070 can handle this quite well, even without DLSS or the TSR. It's running over 100FPS with all the settings maxed.
I have played up to the point you hide in a locker and now I'm not sure I want to keep playing. I did not know this was going to be an actual 'game' like Outlast, I was just wanting to walk sim my way around.

Surely the developer is at fault here not Microsoft/Xbox? You're not suggesting that Microsoft enforce all the upscaling tech in its certification process are you?

 

[The Cockatrice]

Its a 3 hour extremely linear walking sim. You dont need DLSS unless it runs like shit which means u prolly should avoid it in the first place.

 

[odhiex]

Same same but different...lol

 

[LordBritish]

So lazy dev? why don't they just patch it in?

 

[Gamer_By_Proxy]

Game Pass Tax obviously

 

[ToadMan]

So lazy dev? why don't they just patch it in?

Not enough additional sales to justify the following presumably...

Adding them to WinGDK would require a custom coded solution.

But it is a new way to separate paying customers vs renters.

Presumably MS need to tighten up whatever parity clauses they're expecting from developers.

 

[ChorizoPicozo]

...PS Secret evil deals/ slimy platform behavior has no limits. Disgusting!

 

[justiceiro]

Did Microsoft just launched a new tool for direct x to fix that?

 

[SportsFan581]

I believe that the Windows store version is somehow connected to the console version (If I'm not mistaken the Palworld dev mentioned this in regards to updates), which might explain why that build doesn't include features not supported by the console. There are games on the store that do have DLSS and thing like that, so not an exact science.
