[Admin]

We tested Back 4 Blood on dozens of GPUs, and the good news is that just about any reasonable GPU should be able to handle the game at decent framerates, and most can break 60 fps with the right settings.

Nice ! Good performance review. I guess my RX 480 should also be able to do 60fps on 1080p. Btw, the game uses Unreal Engine 4, so I wouldn't be surprised if the game is not THAT much demanding on the hardware, given how Unreal Engine has scaled and optimized these past years.

Might grab this game later on. Right now I have 2 games pending, Far Cry 6 and DEATHLOOP.

"There's now a progression system, pretty much standard fare for any shooter in 2021, and there are more characters to unlock"

Oh, darn. That dropped my excitement by a huge amount.
So this is just another garbage dota-inspired f2p platform mixed with a battlepass?
I'm never again going to pay money to access a game built around a f2p money siphon. Not after how ripped off I felt after having to pay upfront to "buy" rainbow 6 seige.

Performance aside, all I can say is I am glad I have a Game Pass Trial and didn't buy this game. It has potential but isn't a $60 game.

I don’t doubt these results. I’m playing the game on the XBOX One and it looks really good and I have not encountered a single slowdown with hoards of zombies including special effects.

This game was compared to L4D2 but it reminds me more of DOOM but with zombies instead. Most zombie games use slow plodding zombies. In this game zombies are fast and come at you in large numbers.

I’m not a huge fan of zombie games but I tried it because I have XBOX Game Pass.

I'm having excellent performance on epic at 1440p with HDR on my 2060. Also the game is fun! While not innovative, the card system is pretty cool. It took the Titanfall series to get me used to spending cards instead of hoarding them in hopes of getting the perfect scenario. Now all we can hope for is mod support!

I played the beta of this game and I couldn't be more disappointed. Plus, their DRM is invasive as hell.

This is a hard pass for me.

Regards.

From what I can tell many people are upset (Steam reviews) because Turtle Rock decided to disable SOLO progression of some sort.

Per a top review on Steam, "Might be a decent game but the developer's choice to disable card progression when playing alone makes this a complete no go for me. What a shame. "

I cannot support ANY game which makes the SP experience worse.

I expect B4B to turn out the same way as Evolve and most other abandoned cooperative games. I'm not getting invested.

Looks like it. L4D and L4D2 were great because the lack of a progression system constantly put everyone on a level playing field. The games also enjoy a huge variety of mods and regular injection of community content. If B4B had focused on mods and variety instead of progression and monetization, then it would be an instant buy. Instead, the progression is going to create that 1 friend who is ridiculously overpowered and constantly trying to force everyone else to play at a difficulty level suited to them, but too hard for everyone not-them. I'm not interested in being in that situation in the same repetitive gameplay experiences again.
