Missing blood effects.

The original game had amazing animated blood trails streak down the character models from wounds. This effect is completely gone, test it yourself.

Why did we get a downgraded port?

EDIT: Prepurchased this as soon as it was available. Decided to refund until they fix it. Will purchase at a later date if blood effects are brought in parity with console versions.

My friend just mentioned this too. I am glad I did not buy this. I have had paranoia over blood effects failing to be ported properly ever since the Red Dead Redemption "remaster" released to pc.

This is a bug, they didn't remove it. Apparently blood effects also flicker from time to time, especially blood pools. Those effects are still on PS4 and PS5, i played it right now on Discrod with my buddy also playing it on PC.

Whether it is a bug or not, issues like these are rarely if ever resolved... which would mean the game's blood is downgraded intentionally or not...

Can you post a screenshot of the PC version showing this bleeding in your friends game? I have not seen it despite testing.

Does the issue remain with upscaling off?

If this is the case, please fix this. We want the gore done right. Not downgraded.

Yes, and with framerate capped to 30 or 60. Makes no difference.

Definitely a pass until this is resolved. This should have been the definitive version. Missing effects like Uncharted LoT.

Apparently it is also missing the brain chunks from headshots as well. It's a downgrade.

Some blood effects are not present on the PC version compared to Console

See this reddit thread: https://old.reddit.com/r/pcgaming/comments/1jqtkt6/psa_downgraded_blood_effects_in_pc_version_of_the/

Please note, the video links below show the blood effects in action. I'd consider the links NSFW so don't open in a work/school setting.

PS4 version: https://streamable.com/g1d6go

PC version: https://streamable.com/x2iqmd

Not the end of the world nor does this make the PC port bad, but this probably needs to get fixed. Otherwise it's a slight downgrade from consoles.

Hope this helps out any devs who may be reading.

Edit: I ended up submitting a ticket with Nixxes. Hopefully they can log the issue and fix it in a future patch.

Oh yeah, while you're at it... Let us compile all shaders at once if the user really wishes to do that. I rather sit in menu for 30~ minutes if it means no stutters for the entire game.

No, I don't own the game yet, still saving for it. Just judging based on initial coverage.
