Aveum isn't a bad game in the least, it just does nothing to stand out. Combat is sorta fun, and nothing is broken. It's just very paint by numbers, a solid 6.5, a car that gets you from A to B.
Proof of concept for a promising new technology.
I did note that the Xbox frame-gen implementation is not perfect. There appear to be intermediate freezing issues when there's a camera cut during cinematics, but while a bit annoying, it does not intrude on gameplay (a quick look at PS5 doesn't see this issue manifest)
Xbox Can’t catch a break recently
"I did note that the Xbox frame-gen implementation is not perfect."
Grasping at straws I see.
In the video John literally says that FSR 3´s implementation on Xbox Series X is far better than the PC version on release, and they are very impressed with the results. Especially considering that they didn´t even expect such performance to be possible achieved from 30fps. Not even AMD itself recommends 30fps for frame generation.
And... perfect? It´s not perfect even on PC to this day, so I´m no sure what you mean by that.
Maybe it´s perfect on PS5, I don´t know. It would be nice if you post the source of the analysis video of the PS5 version you saw to back up your claims.
"Xbox Can’t catch a break recently"
Don´t worry about the Xbox. There´ll be PLENTY of upcoming first party games to take advantage of FSR 3 in the coming months and years.
Indiana Jones, Avowed, Fable, Shattered Space (Starfield), Gears of War 6, Perfect Dark, State of Decay 3 and many many more.
Also, I´m expecting a FSR 3 update for Hellblade II rather sooner than later.
Great times ahead.
"It would be nice if you post the source of the analysis video of the PS5 version you saw to back up your claims.'
no I just quoted from the very article we are commenting on, these were digital foundry's words, saying xbox isn't perfect, but on the ps5 version, it doesn't see the issue manifest.
Console warring over a framerate pause during non-interactive content in a first-of-its-kind implementation in a game no one gave a crap about when it released 9-10 months ago.
Gotta love N4G.
I watched the DF video and they hadn't even tested the PS5 version yet. They tested the Xbox version is it was available first.
Maybe theres a different video..

You see that top comment? “Game changer finally!”
That is an attempt to pretend that this is Xbox only and that it’s a new thing.
So I just hope you are aware of that when you put the blame on purple101.
@Storm
... That statement doesn't imply anything about Xbox exclusivity. It is a game changer - AMD's recommendation for frame gen is a 60fps base but this game is below that yet apparently feels great.
You thinking it's about Xbox does tells me that you're obsessing over Obscure (lots of people do here). I also don't blame purple... Or anyone. There's no blame, I'm remarking on the exchange.
"Don´t worry about the Xbox. There´ll be PLENTY of upcoming first party games to take advantage of FSR 3 in the coming months and years."
We're not worried about xbox, but you should be.

They'll all run better on PlayStation 5 Pro.
Frame gen isn't going to save xbox,
It's funny though WCCFL and DF both tried to say that frame gen wasn't going to work or was going to be slower than on xbox because it didn't have DX, I said it will just use the PlayStation equivalent feature.
I was right, and not only that it works better on PlayStation, just like FSR 2 does.
https://wccftech.com/amd-fs...
Its promising tech and what's even more funny is that it was DF that was saying it wouldn't work. If fact they were pretty emphatic about it. What's stupid about their claims is that consoles are just specialized PCs. Now imagine if they combine this with a different upscaler like TSR or the upcoming PSSR.
DF act like they know as much as the engineers that work on this software but they are not even close to as knowledgeable they only have tools that give them numbers and then they act like they are experts.
I'd think there's a chance PSSR and frame-gen could yield better upgrade performance for PS5 Pro than PS4 Pro did if this is how well it's going to be working on consoles. I'm curious about input latency though.
I know this a console thread. I just have to say is that AMD basically just gave Nvidia a giant FU. Being able to mod in frame generation on Nvidia cards is ridiculously easy, and basically just extended the life of many peoples 20 & 30 series cards that won't get native frame gen support from Nvidia for a couple years. The results have been ridiculous in all I've tested. Cyberpunk runs at high settings with full rtx and stays in the 90fps range. Starfield in the 100's in the populated areas, and Witcher 3 with full rtx runs incredibly well. Couldn't be freaking happier.
FSR 3 frame generation is coming to consoles - and sooner than you might imagine.
This game is actually way more charming than it had any right to be. I genuinely like the character interactions and conversations as they feel rather authentic to me.
Nice! I think this game kinda fell into the The Order trap, styled over substance, but it’s by no means a bad game. I started it, I will probably wait til these improvements drop to continue. Not sure how much good being on PS Plus will do the devs, but hopefully this brings some more eyes to their work for the future, cuz there’s a lot of talent there.
