PC Gameplay ?!?

[Skynetwork111270]

I am a bit worried. As of today (March 15th) there is no PC gameplay to be seen.

[Sparhawk122]

Yes. It is very worrying.

Hm, maybe the optimization is so bad that there is nothing to show XD
Anyone who has pre-ordered the PC version is hoping for better optimization than the console version.
In the worst case, you can return it and spend the money on another game.

becuz its probably untopimised garbage and much worse than consoles otherwise there was no reason to not show pc gameplay its pretty obvious

[Tenoshii]

Oh no, maybe that's because it doesn't work on PC?!

PC players (rightly?) have higher expectations of game visual quality and performance. If the PC quality matches the console quality pixel-for-pixel, the PC community will usually be unimpressed. (If the game's fun, it could look like it's rendered in 640x480 using a 3Dfx Voodoo II and I'd enjoy it. I'm part of the anomalist PC community on visual quality. Performance is still a high bar compared to consoles, though.)

Technically, I don't compare the consoles with each other at all, now the measly consoles with their prices around 500-600€ (I don't expect anything).
That's why I don't understand why they don't at least show a video with the PC gameplay.

And of course I also play potato graphics games.
There are a lot of very good things like Factorio (the graphics don't matter)
But from a game like DD2 you expect more...

I admit it is concerning we haven't seen a single second of PC gameplay so far.

I almost bought the game last night but now I'll wait until we can see PC gameplay and confirm that it is running well on PC.

[Keith 'Blood' Hanson]

Demo's cost money to make. No one has received preview copies (Though review copies might be out there but we wouldn't know), so far I think its only been shown on the PS5.

[Xhal]

Yeah but the company could release PC gameplay themselves and talk about what at the PC settings going to be, they actually did that for the first game when it came to PC.

[Juju]

For PC Gameplay there is this trailer by Nvidia : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=drtOfjXMdVU

Sure it's a trailer but we can see some gameplay. It's pretty clean and looks like the FPS ain't bad either. I just hope it's not bs as usual

Apparently there is a person who has it early on PC and said it was running ok with some frame dips into the 40s on a 4080 and I can't remember the CPU. Can't say if it's true or not, but I do expect his to be severely CPU bound
