Will you be checking out this car survival game? 👀
Absolutely
@@adamb2216 I've personally only managed to play around 3 hours and I cannot wait to play some more. It's a much tougher survival game than I had anticipated! Stephen, who reviewed this game, sunk 40 hours into it! - Aaron
Has the game dropped to 30 fps at all? I’ve heard rumors on that
@@anderssantos9475:43
I like the premise but I have so many unfinished games and I'm not into the inventory/resource management games, this game has something, will wait a few months.
Looks like it could be pretty good in VR.
Omg we need that update!!
Great idea actually!
No we don't its fine as it is
This and Helldivers will be taking up all my time for the next few months. Can’t wait for this!
Check out Ultros too. New metroidvania, it’s unique and cool.
helldivers already getting old for me, and you cant even log in in the evening, sunset pacific or whatever its called will be a nice change
@@votpavel same. Literally the same thing over and over again.
this seems more fun then helldivers. and I’m also waiting for alone in the dark sale and then pre order announcements of any new silent hill or resident evil
Wish they would have simplified it a bit. Can’t get over the convoluted menus 😢
Fired this up today and it is rough on PS5. Only has one graphics mode. Low res, low quality textures and shadows, pop in, jaggies and aliasing, and the worst offender is it’s uncapped framerate which bounces all over the place from 20’s and 30’s seemingly all the way up to near 60. It’s not a great first impression. Hopefully they’ll get some patches in but I’m surprised no review sites really mentioned this. I get they were probably playing the PC version but this one is in rough shape.
Not only that, but there's a gamebreaking bug 18 hours in on ps5. Exit gate wont open in red meadow research facility, it would really piss me off if this kills my run
Yeah I was wondering the same thing why no reviewers said anything about the fps I had bought the game thinking it was a solid 60 the devs did a poor job with console the ps5 could easily run this game 4K 60 but the devs are lazy
@@anderssantos947An indy studio is lazy? Maybe they just don't have tge time and resource of a AAA studio
Good review, i liked that
Thanks
Bought along with hell divers 2
Extremely pissed off that there’s no demo on PS5 but steam
has one. Wtf
probably because after the first hour it will get boring
Probably because the PS5 version is really rough. Low res, low quality shadows, pop in, low quality textures, and the worst offender is that it has an uncapped framerate in it’s only mode and it seems to jump from 20’s to near 60 all over the place. I was stoked to play this one but hopefully they can fix it with some patches. It’s a rough go.
@mandrews6282 I'm glad I've read this comment. I was going to buy it like right now, but not if it's that rough.
@mandrews6282 yeah I bought it and the res is really bad and dips under 30 sometimes its a pc game not made for consoles and that's that the game The Forest looks better and that's a ps4 game
what’s the future dlc like. is this game scary or not.
Is it worth it even with the frame drops to 30? Or get kn PC?
If u have a pc get it on that to be on the safe side
Mate the target is 30 and it regularly drops to 20 or even below. It’s a lazy port. Devs should be ashamed.
@TheVVumpus ya they even had the nerve to say it was 60 fps
I would love this in PSVR2
Double-A games are the best games. The budgets aren't so high that devs aren't willing to take a chance on more niche ideas. And at the same time it still has enuff of a budget to look like a polished product.
are you just copy and pasting this onto every pacific drive video 😭
Speak for yourself buddy. My favorite game this year is Helldivers 2 which is a huge Sony game. Also looking forward to Dragons Dogma 2, a Capcom game. I bet you see games like Madden and CoD and assume all AAA games are bad. Up yours.
@Antony.T Helldivers 2 would he considered a AA game according to budget and pricing categories that people usually go by. It was published by sony, but not made by sony.
Can't wait to play ❤
It's in dire need of a patch, every fixing the car I'm told to get the first aid kits out of the locker, oops, I already took it, and now they're gone and apparently no one to get them back. Too make things worse, got this far figuring it's been auto-saving, nope. Also no save option so far. So yay, have to restart from the beginning. Oh also, getting into the car can be buggy. I get the enter car option, use it, it opens the door and thats it. The label now changes to "open door" but I if take the option it lets me sit in the car... Has the reviewer actually tried playing? These are some game killing bugs there.....
Looks awesome.
Been hyped for this game for a while. Day 1 for me
Review?
Day gone rode the bike so pacific drive went thru the storm
I’ve heard rumors of it dropping to 30 fps is this true if so frame rate issues are probably a deal breaker for me it’s a shame this game did look cool
It’s like 30-40fps. Disappointing to say the least. Should be a standard for every ps5 game to be able to handle 60fps. I can’t stand anything lower lol
@@cathanbucko5594 weird since he said in the video that the games 50-60 which is weird then the game drops below 30
@@cathanbucko5594 30 fps is playable. 60fps is something you want and 30fps is something you need but yes a game that looks like this should be 60fps with no stutters. I'm okay with 30fps if it has raytracing though
Blows my mind how a game like Horizon Forbidden West, a detailed open world game mind you, can run a solid 60fps yet this can’t SMH. I’ll wait for when the performance is 60fps or at least offers a stable frame rate experience.
Guess they said they dont intend for 60
This game was made by a small newer studio of 20 people. Not by the juggernaut that is Sony Studios. A couple hundred people with a blown out budget made Horizon. With that said, I do think it could have been polished a bit more.
**STRUGGLES TO REACH 30FPS ON PS5**
Is it actually going to?
Did my first run and I'm extremely pleased with its level of complexity. I was expecting something much simpler. To my delight, it's not! Lots of scavenging and crafting with the lone-wolf feeling in a superb atmosphere! Don't expect perfect framerate and graphics. It's an excellent survival game.
He def downplayed the performance issues. It’s bad. Like real bad. Very choppy and stuttery. VRR does nothing which tells me it’s running below 45fps 99% of the time. Unacceptable imo.
Tbh I don't think this game is for me but it's premise is so interesting i will probably get it, guarantee this game will have a million YT channels with 'Why Pacific Drive is a masterpiece....'
With the price of most new games being $60-$70.00. I think if you can get a game for $30.00, and a lot of reviews are positive. You should put it on your wishlist. I expect some things to feel repetitive at a $30.00 price. I like open world games, but it's nice to have some games that keep you on mission.
It's not an open world, it's an extraction looter
Its not ps5 exclusive.
So sick of poor framerates. I need 60fps minimum. I'm so selling my consoles and building a gaming PC this year.
keep us updated please. Great blog.
It's the best decision you will ever make, thrust me.
Looks amazing and the atmosphere is definitely 'there' but I found the scavenging so underwhelming in the demo.
Really on the fence about this one.
looks good for 2hrs or so but honestly looks really repetitive and I heard it's like 15 to 20hrs but if ur wanting to 100% it will take 40 to 50 hrs love long games but like I said 2hrs pushing 3 it will start getting repetitive
every game is repetitive
so just got it on ps5 and here's my thoughts on 2hrs so far. runs 30fps witch looks like 1080p at start but now looks wors once u get out in the open if you've ever played the forest graphics are like that the trees and grass part not the best looking game also had to do the start 2 times because of a bug in the game were it told me to gather materials and just stayed on the screen then needed to load my last save witch was at the start of game I was so pissed then after that I needed to craft something but had to do it twice because it never gave me the item it got me frustrated because I needed to find the components again witch took me ages another big were you open car door to get in and it doesn't let u in still having issues with that and something randomly drops items that I've slotted on my d pad I big gripe I've got is no 3rd person view of car and its a mofo to reverse especially with all the stuff u need in the back of car u can't really see there's no graphical settings that I can find so it is a bit rough if u can look past everything I've just said game is still ok and if you guys want more updates let me know going to put in another hour today then off to bed it's currently 5:30am here in Australia but will play more and let ya know
@@randomcro24 what are the graphic options????
@votpavel there's no graphics option that i can find honestly looks like inbetween 1080 and 1440p at 30fps witch is so disappointing how they not making it run on a ps5 4k 60 or even 1440p at 60 its not good looks like the forest if u ever played it the trees are probably wors then the forest.
@@randomcro24 i see, i was gonna get it at midnight but i forgot,might get it tomorow
30 fps on ps5 LOL what times we life in. Unoptimized mess
Iron Wood Studio's forgot the Steam Deck was a thing when developing Pacific Drive, the small text guarantees the game will never be Steam Deck verified, what a shame.
Nah...
Played the demo,, novel at first but soon becomes boring,, fix car, start up car put it into drive etc etc
That’s an out of place VR game
mid
Exactly the word I thought of after reading your comment.
It's on pc
@@eccosx Glad you had my back on that bro I was up all night xx
Get lives.. sleep well lol
@@Adz187 Need 99 coins for that though Triple OG loc
Gamers who are turned off from anything more cerebral than Fortnite are quick to bash this. Their loss.
I don't play or like fortnight saying that I haven't played this and from what I've seen it will get boring after 2hrs
I'm turned off because 30fps is unacceptable
@@lawrencenewman9941 A great game with 30fps is suddenly bad? Yeah, right... Thanks for the useless insight! Been gaming for over 30 years and I'm sick of fake gamers who have nothing else to talk about besides framerate and resolution. You just make comments' sections reek.
This looks awful, no from me.
I regret buying this game due to the low fps. PS5 is just too weak
I've been disappointed to find out that some PS5 games are missing content that is standard for the PC version. For instance, I have Stranded Deep on both platforms. But the console version has a much smaller map. There are about 50 searchable islands on PC, whereas the console only has 21.
Don't care about fps. That's not important as long as the game is good
