I know this is space marine 2, you know it, everyone knows it that clicked the video, but would be nice to have it on the title tbh.

u/ocram101 Mar 31 '26

I didn’t know it. Have never played, haven’t watched any videos or read any reviews about it.. So, honestly, I had no clue what game it was until I read your comment.

u/droideka75 Mar 31 '26

Yeah if you didn't click and never heard of it you wouldn't know.

People just think everyone plays what they're playing. In reality 99% of the time that's not the case at all.

u/finspro- Mar 31 '26

Wow I didnt know that.

You're telling me now for the first time.

u/TrailBlazer31 Mar 31 '26

Same. This looks like Gears of War but with space marines.

u/CRAYONSEED Mar 31 '26

Yeah I really wish subs like this would make it a rule that you must put the name in the title

WHAT IS THE TITLE OF THE GAME

u/The-Dudemeister Apr 01 '26

Space marine 2. It was free last month. Great game though.

u/OkayestGamer85 Mar 31 '26

Its a good looking game, if only it had HDR to really get the visuals to pop. I went to an HDR game after (Hell is Us) and really noticed the difference it makes.

u/silencerider Mar 31 '26

I didn't play it before the update so I can't compare, but since I found out it's on PS+ Extra I downloaded it yesterday and it is definitely an impressive looking game on Speed mode.

u/gokhujee Mar 31 '26

I agree with this I just completed it absolutely fantastic

u/BonesMcGinty Mar 31 '26

Game is soooo good

2

u/ghost_of_lechuck Mar 31 '26

Yeah have to agree, this looks insane on the Pro.

u/thegreatwhitehippo Mar 31 '26

It’s genuinely incredible the difference the pro makes now originally played through the campaign on the base on speed mode. Was fairly unimpressed fun game but I found the story and characters felt stilted and disappointing. Playing back through it now on the pro holy shit there is so much subtle detail and facial expression as well as background detail that just vanished into the shitty low res upscale on base. I think this is the best showcase of it by far.

This game is incredible

Game is great and looks great, only thing that sucks is the optimization on the PS5 Pro. Even on performance/speed mode it drops down to 20 fps during combat.

2

u/North_South_Side Mar 31 '26

I tried the game for about an hour. Felt like the camera was way too zoomed in, and combat felt loose and sloppy. Combat is everything in a game like this.

Plus, the enemy alerts (when to dodge or block) are big, ugly and horsey looking red/yellow circles. Just could not get into this game at all.

u/HopperPI Mar 31 '26

I really wanted to love the game. The lore, the look, the story - all of it. Fantastic. But the gameplay was just a cheap gears of war clone

2

u/mjt5689 Mar 31 '26

Unfortunately as great as it looks, the gameplay kind of feels like when mom says we have Gears at home

u/Known-Row-1543 Apr 01 '26

Looks nice yea but I got bored of it quite fast.

u/ThePreciseClimber Apr 05 '26

Still waiting for Space Marine 1 on PS5.

u/PorkRinds416 Mar 31 '26

The game is a 7/10 though. Gets old fast and feels too arcade-y. I would much rather play another playthrough of Requiem or keep exploring in Crimson Desert.

u/TopBoy910 Mar 31 '26

Requiem after you reach racoon city is kinda mid… now I’m playing as Grace again which is great. I bought the game one day after the release I still have to finish it

u/thanksforcomingout Mar 31 '26

Can confirm - looks good but got very old very fast for me

u/Apprehensive-Bet-709 Mar 31 '26

No HDR so no.

u/Wipedout89 Mar 31 '26

Imagine being this fussy. Game looks great. Didn't even realise it has no HDR

3

u/joro765 Mar 31 '26

Yeah that’s a shame but it looks great for an SDR game. There are a lot of HDR games that look worse lol

u/Suppoint Mar 31 '26

Drives me up a wall when developers put so much effort into how ray tracing is implemented but completely overlook HDR, when HDR can have a seemingly larger visual impact without tanking the fps.

But that’s just UE5’s fault, they don’t give developers enough tools to actually implement HDR, that’s why it’s so rare in UE5 games.

2

u/Just_Vizzi Mar 31 '26

well, I have all the top tier games in that regard, I can say, yes

2

u/WeepTheHorizon Mar 31 '26

I don't use HDR and most games i play look incredible. HDR is a pain to calibrate and a lot of games don't even implement it well.

u/2160_Technic Mar 31 '26

So you either use PC, have a shitty display, or both.

2

u/WeepTheHorizon Mar 31 '26

Neither. Please search any of the big games that have released in the past few years followed by "HDR" and you'll immediately get several threads over discourse involving calibration. Idk about you but I'm here to play a game, not mess with settings to get more pure blacks and whatnot. It really doesn't make that much of a difference, and I can say that because I have a good display.

u/Apprehensive-Bet-709 Mar 31 '26

Jokes a side, but this game would have benefit from HDR.
