RoboCop is one of the surprises of the year. Reminds me of one of the many gems you'd find on the PS3 and 360 back in the day but with higher production values.

This game is lovely! Feels a lot like mid-2000s AA games with a modern 2023 visual quality.

Considering the size of the team and how much of the new tech they are using, this is really impressive! I hope they do some further patches and tweaks as this is a real showpiece of AA devs punching well above their weight.

We're really entering the stage where much smaller teams are able to make genuinely better games than bloated AAA studios. I like it.

I'm so happy with RoboCop getting more love these days!

We seriously need more games like this. Sure, it's no Red Dead or GTA, but it's a competent product clearly done with passion and not for numbers. These sorts of games were plentiful two generations ago, but now so many devs either rush games out the door or are too ambitious for their own good.

RoboCop team has a person who gets it, someone who isn't a jobber and you can tell from a mile away. Exceptional work.

Some of the shots, especially in the old run down parts of the city look absolutely incredible.

It is also a must play for every RoboCop Fan

This game is absolutely amazing. Give this studio every IP license rights!

After Terminator Resistance seemingly becoming a cult classic (as critics railed it) I really hope Robocop puts Teyon on the map for something with a larger budget - they’re really outdoing themselves after the failure that was Rambo: The Video Game

Developers that really put in the time and effort to optimize need to be supported. Definitely buying this game. Hope it sells really well

I genuinely hope this sells well. These guys poured their hearts into Terminator Resistance. And now this looks amazing...i want these guys to have enough support to tackle their next project. Im more excited about this team and ones like Halousemarque than i am with the ones pumping out "AAA" games these days.

Damn really looks great. Who would have thought a small developer would be a shining UE5 star

I'm really impressed, I was going to brush it off as an 80s nostalgia cash grab, but damn did they put in the work

Would you believe this is the same studio that made the awful Rambo videogame in about 2016? Can we give these people some kind of "outstanding improvement" award? Because they deserve it.

As someone who grew tired of Unreal 4 and all it's problem, I was very concerned about Unreal 5. I've been playing Robocop and I'm blown away of the insane amount of detail and geometry everywhere you look. Especially in the second map.. the Mill. The terrain and rocks is something of a quality I've never seen before. It looks absurd and assets that could very well be used in The Mandalorian. The advantages of unlimited poly count of nanite really shines in this game and if this is what a small AA studio can do.. imagine a high budget AAA making full use of the engine. The game is great by the way.

As a busy 38 year old father and husband, this is the type of game I’m all about. Smaller based games made by fans of a franchise I grew up with.

This game is a must buy, it's amazing what such a small dev team can do.

Reminds me of Black with this level of destruction physics & Hollywood style effects.

This is what happens when devs don't try to reinvent the wheel, but instead follow best development practices to make a game that's rock solid.

You can use two cvars to denoise the lumen shadows: r.Lumen.Reflections.Temporal=0 r.Lumen.ScreenProbeGather.Temporal.MaxFramesAccumulated=32

The great thing about the PC version is you can add commands to fix all the lumen noise for both the light and reflections.

Nice breakdown 👍 The game environment is PERFECT to show off the super impressive GI lighting. The splodgy/noisy GI in some areas is indeed a low ray count (as you mentioned) combined with interpolation softening that makes the lighting boil and fizz. It's purely just a waiting game for more horsepower to solve all this as they have a super impressive working model now. The super tessalated nanite rocks look totally insane also..mind blown again (even after seeing AW2 recently)!

It's amazing to see Teyon go through their own No Man's Sky/Cyberpunk 2077 redemption arc with Terminator and RoboCop after that PS3/360 Rambo game. Good on them!

There is a new 5 hour Robocop documentary out too. Robocop times.

I like how you talked about the graphics first . And left the console comparisons / preformance for last . 👍 great video

Robocop is up there as one of my favourite games in recent years. As a kid of the 80's I finally got to play as one of my favourite pop-culture characters. Loved every minute of it.

I wish UE5 could include a 40fps mode plugin for devs to easily use for their games on console.

Surprised it’s not John covering this. He’s been gushing about it on Twitter. Kinda wanted to hear more from him in depth.

I'd be interested in seeing DF cover The Talos Principle 2. It's the first UE5 game I've played and I was absolutely blown away at the rendering. I was particularly impressed by how screen space reflections aren't nearly as terrible as they typically are due to the same reason stated in this video. The biggest issue I've seen is weird ghosting particularly with high contrast moving objects, though, which is rather distracting and as far as I can tell from some searching is a side effect of one of the UE5 technologies.

The colors are wonderfully immersive here, not over the top like most games, rather muted at times

13:04 -PS5 quality mode looks better resolution

A game clearly made from the heart. Well done to the developers Teyon

DF praising Teyon. Yep, that's among the top 3 things you weren't expecting today.

Thanks, will prob pick this up later,maybe when on sale,excellent work 👍

Actually finished it yesterday on PC. I really liked it and it also looks great. I'd....definitely buy that for a dollar! :D

Hope you'll cover the PC version at some point, there's a "High Quality Lumen Reflections" toggle and I'm intrigued at what it does and how it compares to the consoles. BTW, RoboCop: Rogue City is my GOTY of this year! Granted it's the only 2023 game apart from Resident Evil 4 that I've played, but still...

I love watching your videos whilst not really understanding a lot of the jargon 😊

This is why I love your comparisons. Always honest and professional.

Far from ideal, but it's one of the better UE5 efforts on consoles so far. Incredible from such a small team! I really should buy it now...

I've noticed that lumen struggles a lot with small light sources if the actual light mesh is contributing to the GI. If the mesh is invisible to lumen and instead reliant solely on a point light its a lot cleaner.

Apart from the Lod pop-in glitch I get between changes in a scene during cutscenes on PS5, it's a pretty good effort!

Props to the dev team! Looking forward to playing this one!

The thing is that RoboCop actually runs well on PC. It shows that UE5 games don't have to be a nightmare to run.

Game looks and plays amazing in performance mode.

I'm pretty sure the bridge at 5:44 (and the rest of the city for that matter) is just old-school doubled/mirrored geometry and the water is just a transparent plane with a refraction shader.

I wish you had scolded the developers for the blurry image. I dunno if it's the post-processing effects, the lighting or DLSS; but whether I play the game with DLSS "Quality" or DLAA, it's very think Vaseline that you have to look through, at least at 1440p on a 27" screen. You should point these things out and complain, to create some pressure on devs to make games that don't look like you need glasses.

Love this game, but the performance mode on PS5 needs a patch before i can really enjoy it. It legit looks 720p and flat out blurry alot of the time.

This such a blast to play, literally best game I've played this year!

Not that RoboCop doesn't look impressive, but I would say The Talos Principle 2 betters it in terms of UE5 implementation. It's impressive how this new tech can give lower-budget games a look beyond even UE4's most high-profile stuff.

Would appreciate if you could add a short comment on support for 120Hz output and/or native VRR support for PS5. I don't need to tell you why the forced VRR option isn't sufficient when the game stays at 60Hz output max, right?

Love they finally let developers use the tech available

one of the few new gen games I was genuinely impressed by… some of the facial expressions could use work but who cares about that.

I noticed very similar with the lighting and shadows on PC, including the lighting and shadow engines having some struggle in certain situations. One big one for me was in an office, with shades/blinds with a higher light source, causing the light and shadows looking like a pointillist painting in motion. It only existed in these instances, though. Most of the time, I'd see the slight shimmer on wall surfaces, like shown above. Though I love the game's attention to detail for the world, and lore being adapted. The talking cut scenes have a weird depth of field effect being applied, which pixelates as it tries to soften the background image behind characters. I was running the game on an AMD Threadripper 2920x paired with an XFX Speedster Merc310 RX 7900 XTX at 4K60. Teyon did a fantastic job, outside of the Matrix Demo that was on consoles. As a fan of the Robocop lore and world, I loved the game, definitely in my top 3 of this year.

This game is awesome! Hope more people support it. I bought two copies on Xbox Series X sent one to a friend that only plays Call of Duty. It's also cool that the entire game is on the disc can be installed offline.

yeah I don’t think the reflections are removed for performance. There are mines in the water to look out for, so they probably allowed you to see through the water easier

I’m happy this game is getting some attention. It’s a blast to play ❤

Impressive job from the devs. Yes there are big frame rate dips in performance mode but they can make this better with patches for all consoles.

Was the footage recorded at 4K or 1440p.?

I think I'll buy this one. Not because I have a lot of interest in it TBH (hell, I still haven't even started alan wake 2), but because the AA market deserves it.

I just finished the game on PC and I was very impressed. Looks great and feels like a RoboCop game through and through, highly recommended!

When you shot the planter it gave me some huge Nvidia Flex vibes. That tech is pretty rad, happy to something similar used here.

What are the pc equivalent settings?

Kudos to this amazing dev.

What are these AAA studios doing with their multi-million budgets, when a AA developer is the one to actually get it done? I’ve really enjoyed my time with this game. I am surprised a couple issues that annoy me on the PS5 weren’t brought up like texture pop-in, and rough cutscene transitions though.

Nice, video! Looking forward to seeing the PC version!

Lumen reflection seems only useful with large scale objects similar to what planar did for so many games in the past

I can’t wait to see what The Coalition does with UE5 and Gears Of War 6!

Probably the first proper UE5 game that uses almost all the features.

Wish games could make a 40fps mode with 120hz TVs for XSX and PS5 on lot of new games with quality modes. Nice medium consoles

Are you guys going to be looking at The Talos Principle 2 as well? That's also a UE5 title that came out around the same time Robocop did.

The jankness of this game matches perfectly with the Robocop movies. The "it's not a bug it's a feature" meme that works right.

This dev is fucking awesome. Almost want them to remain a hidden gem

I still get the classic UE traversal stutter on the PC version but other than that I’ve been enjoying this one.

Kinda fun to look around and find the megascans used in some environments

On PC the game would benefit ALOT from hardware RT and ray reconstruction. With DLSS on, the shimmering/noise on asphalt was pretty annoying to say the least.

I'm curious you never mentioned texture pop in issues on the console versions... I noticed those and even though the game was overall very playable, that was kinda annoying sometimes... Specially on cutscenes...

How about the pc port and jarring glitches while video playback?

5:40 Just pointing out, this may have been a gameplay choice. Those pools of water hide landmines which are already VERY hard to spot until you're right on top of them. Reflections would probably make them impossible to see. 14:30 I had a near-identical experience on PC as well. So these issues aren't platform specific.

Bought it full price cause Teyon deserves it. I was very happy with Terminator Resistance as well

Now if only they could fix the texture streaming issue on Xbox it would look amazing all the time

does software base mean it runs using cpu vs gpu? won't this make it like 5-10x slower vs hardware gpu based?

Yesss! Was waiting for this! Love the game!

Decent little game a must play if your a RoboCop fan....

It doesnt look so great on ps5 looks like a ps4 pro game - i played on performance mode maybe thats why - game itself was pretty fun

I'll be honest I think I actually prefer cubemaps to these low quality Lumen reflections. At least you don't get any distracting screen-space artifacts that way and the off-screen reflections are too low quality to be worth the performance cost.

question, im running a 6800xt with this game at 4k and frs 2.2 but the ground sometimes when wet has this diamonds sparkly look any thoughts on settings i need to change to get rid of the sparkle floor

It needs the slow loading textures sorting out

Typo in the Series S Comparison chapter.

Completed RoboCop shortly after release, and this game is really good!

This game sort of reminds me of The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay from the original Xbox and PC in 2004: Random game licensed from a movie property comes largely out of left field from a relatively unknown developer, surprisingly is good and somehow is also a technical showpiece. Terminator: Resistance was also surprisingly good, I hope this sells decent and we get to see more from Teyon.

I really love this game. Awesome to see Teyon grow and improve in real time

Ed209 is sooo hard, I need to read up on how I can get that first mission with him done. Great game though - you are tanky as hell and I really like the weapon progress and customisation of skills, very clever what they did there.

That one battle crushes my 4090 as well. Great game though as I really enjoyed playing through it. I hope it sells well and we get some story DLC.

I just get the impression that developers are really putting to much strain on what hardware can actually do and could cut some stuff out and would not be noticed

Surpised there isnt much mention of the performance and graphical issues on PS5. Especially one glitch a lot of players including myself gave encountered, where during dialogue sequences everytime the perspective switches a pixelated effect appears. Feel like its not in the best state on PS5 at all.

Next IP for the Studio..Dredd !?

It's hard to aim accurately with the standard xbox controller, can't seem to set it up right, and my aim isn't shit in shooting ganes, it's just difficult to fine adjust with the stick.. anyone else having this trouble?

Man, between this and Alan Wake 2, it really does feel like the next generation has actually arrived.
