With 1.6M viewers on Twitch, here is what VALORANT is doing right

VALORANT is about carefully sneaking around a small map waiting for a brief but explosive moment of action and danger. Players die within seconds and "abilities" are just extra perks that ultimately enhance vicious and precise gunplay. Winston mains are going to have a very rough time hopping over to VALORANT.

Riot is taking over, this is just the beginning.

Felix_Argyle_Catbro1515d ago (Edited 1515d ago )

Flies and all that. The game is pretty garbo.

DefaultComment1514d ago

sure sure buddy, I mean if it's garbage then it clearly proves why it had 1.6 million views on twitch and not to mention that everyone is talking about it. I guess you being born with missing chromosomes must suck huh?

BlackTar1871514d ago

Well to be fair they require it to get the bets keys.. so many like me have it on mute in the other room.

Rude-ro1514d ago

1.6 million because of sponsored streams.
Most of those would be watching whatever said streamers would be playing.
“Stream” viewership numbers are no numbers to be used with facts.

amazingmax71515d ago

It only has so many viewers because people want the chance to get a beta code.

DefaultComment1514d ago

That maybe true but even though, the purpose is to rise interest in the gaming community and basically an invitation to start playing their games...you can't deny that's a genius strategy

BillyG0AT1514d ago

It's far from genius. Einstein was genius. This is just dirty marketing.

MarkyMark891514d ago

Kinda bias opinion, it has had millions of views on YouTube streams, has also been averaging around 70K on Mixer who usually only has 70k total views on the entire platform, but both of those streaming platforms don’t offer drops to get white listed in the beta. The game has no paid promo, so nobody got money to say positive things. This comment section just feels like the PS4 single player loyalist type of group. So why even come comment on a ESport PC game... oh yea it’s N4G where all the idiots claim they have great games but argue on forums all day XD

Riot games has the vision to take over the E-sport gaming industry and looks like they are gonna own it big time.

Kavorklestein1514d ago

This games looks boring and Uninspired. Riot can have all the PC Dumbasses they want, anyone who actually think this game looks good I have to fiercely disagree. It does not. The pace is slow, the map is bland, the abilities look out of place and there is no real reason this has so many viewers besides being "the next new thing to try."
Them marketing beta codes thru streamers is a huge part of why it has so many views.
Not because it looks epic, compelling or worth anything.

DefaultComment1513d ago

I'm gonna go on a limb here and say you haven't even touched the game and your so call criteria is based on a 5 min video you saw on YouTube.

Kavorklestein1513d ago

I have not, but I watched about 4 hours of gameplay from several different streamers and it's just not interesting in the slightest. I do not see the reason this has people interested. The only thing I did like was the high visibility sights for ADS.

Can FSR 3 frame generation deliver the 120fps dream on PS5 and Xbox?

Frame generation technology has arrived on consoles, amplifying frame-rates and potentially transforming experiences.

adds between 8.3-15.3 milliseconds of latency on the game they tested, - no thanks

darksky2h ago

Base latency is 130.8ms and frame gen takes that up to 139.1ms. A 7% increase in latency is hardly a deal breaker.

Zenzuu2h ago

That's hardly a deal breaker and not really noticeable. Even the folks at Digital Foundry said so as well.

darthv7220h ago

Impressive results... sadly I don't have a 120hz display. I was thinking this technique could increase fps on any game that supports it regardless of the display.

purple10119h ago(Edited 19h ago)

I have a vrr telly in the lounge,

On another point, what if it were the other way around where the developer aims for higher fps, then used something like pssr to make the resolution higher, that might be better?

Any which way, PS5 pro sure looks interesting now, being they have already doubled frame rate, with JUST just this fsr3.0

sagapo59m ago

It’s up to dev’s to implement FSR 3 support tho but most probably will I guess (hope).

andy852h ago

Now I've extensively tried it I'm not too fussed about 120 fps. Give me a locked 60 and more details and I'm more than happy

i didnt even know there was a leak ha.

Profchaos3h ago

Wasn't a short detailed leak about 12 hours prior it was hey there's going to be a astro bot a VR game and a few other things specified but massively underwhelming leak tbh

Goodguy011d 1h ago

Was it really worth it? Oof

Profchaos3h ago

For this state of play not at all

Relientk7722h ago

This is news to me. I had no idea the games from the State of Play got leaked.

Jin_Sakai14h ago

I seen the list posted and instantly got excited for Astro Bot. Everything else was meh.

CrimsonWing6914h ago

I’m pretty sure leaks or not, by the end of the show people will still be disappointed. The only highlight for me was MH: Wilds… everything else was mid to forgettable. Hope them HaaS games you got lined up really work out for you, Sony. Everyone asking for Bloodborne Remake, Wolverine, and, uh, well other games like that could’ve made this epic. Instead we get Concord, some derivative Souls-like games, that were fine looking, and a Silent Hill 2 Remake with horrible character designs and janky combat animations… great.

rayford1513h ago

I wasn’t disappointed it was a solid B

TOTSUKO11h ago

For a State of play it was actually alright. People are overshadowing it because they want to cancel Sony to high hell for Gaas which is not fair for the other devs who revealed great looking games that were just shown. I get it you don’t like gaas don’t buy it. If it sells well good for the people who had interest no big deal? If you are a PlayStation fan what’s wrong with PlayStation trying to cater every gamer? I don’t understand that smh

ravens5212h ago

Where Winds Meet and Ballad of Antara both looked good. Not to mention Astro Bot. It was a decent show. For me personally it was a 7. I'm sure to some people it was actually really good cause they'd play all those games. 🤷🏽 Personal taste

MrNinosan11h ago

I wasn't dissapointed.
And no, everyone doesn't want a Bloodborne Remake. There is probably very few who's actually asking for it, but the ones who do are loud on internet.

CrimsonWing6911h ago(Edited 11h ago)

Oh, my mistake. It’s definitely not one of the most requested games when it comes to remakes with news stories talking about it 🙄

https://comicbook.com/gamin...

https://www.gamingbible.com...

https://www.yahoo.com/tech/...

https://gamerant.com/fromso...

Silly me. It’s just a very few that are actually wanting it…

MrNinosan4h ago

@CrimsonWings69
And you just proved what I wrote.

If Bloodborne was remestered or remade, it would still sell less than Final Fantasy XVI or VII Rebirth, probably be called a great succes from it's core fans, but most wouldn't care.

I love Bloodborne, I want a new release of it, but it's niche and has sold crap compared to most of Playstation Studios bigger titles.

Astro Bot will sell and mean more to Playstation than a Bloodborne Remake.
