After the Alan Waker 2 builders insisted PC gamers use an SSD for one of the best efficiency, one participant has confirmed them precisely proper by sharing a screenshot of a really blobby mess that’s actually purported to be a human physique on an post-mortem desk.
Even earlier than a brand new sport launches, devs will guarantee they checklist the minimal and really useful system necessities gamers should meet to play optimally with none points. For Alan Wake 2, which launched on Oct. 27, the devs insisted gamers use SSDs as a result of AW2 will launch and cargo sooner, they usually present a clean expertise.
Sadly for one AW2 participant, they discovered this lesson the exhausting means after a physique within the morgue didn’t load accurately and as a substitute appeared as a gray, featureless blob.
You possibly can inform it’s purported to be a human from its tough form, but it surely seems something however a physique that needs to be in a common morgue and one which belongs in Space 51. Or perhaps a monster from old PlayStation One games, which is fairly correct.
Whereas it’s amusing, it does make for a lackluster gaming expertise, as AW2 is meant to be a horror-survival sport with gore and realism. However in case you’re not into that, then utilizing an HDD for AW2 could also be in your aspect, as you’ll miss the meatier parts of the horror story.
So, in case you’re into this, an HDD shouldn’t be really useful since you’ll miss all Alan Wake 2’s adrenaline-pumping gore. However not less than you’ll get amusing or two.
Regardless of the laughs and the less-than-thrilling cutscenes, this Alan Wake 2 participant did go some solution to proving why the devs constantly careworn the significance of an SSD. It additionally reveals simply how far gaming has come, even in the previous couple of years, and suggests SSDs needs to be a part of minimum system requirements for each sport.
However in case you’re like me, the place horror has you operating to activate all of the lights, the HDD often is the solution to go for these video games as a result of, let’s face it, blobs are a lot much less scary.
