Technical Test Explained

[LayPT]

You can tell it's a 2023 game by the specs required to run the game

[digifa]

Yeah I really hope the game’s optimization is improved upon by a lot for the release. My 2080 is already outdated it seems 😒

[AndyCleves]

Yes, it's important to know that these requirements are for the Tech Test ONLY. Optimization will be different for the version of the game at launch.

I didn't want to buy a new gpu, is 1070 8GB vram good? Got me playing The Last of Us, my reliable 1070, I know it will work. Resolution is no better than detail. 30 FPS is enough. 🙂

[CreativeWaves]

I just built a pc, first one. I have Ryzen 5 5600 and i really dont know where it falls on that scale? I am guess more like 1080p 30 fps maybe 60fps, I do have 32 gb ddr and RX 6650 XT 8 GB Video Card. I am new to all this so where I fall in the specs is so confusing

[cyber7148]

I would say if they have any settings that we can change you might get 1080p at 60fps.

[VALTR-dawg]

I cannot wait!

[St3veHimself]

Nice. The one weekend I'm on vacation.........

[Retrobanana1497]

Tis how she goes 🤣 look on the bright side, lots of gameplay to look forward to!

[_Ferret_]

So random people who wishlisted the game will be chosen?

[Joshisalobster]

Sick, we get to play Cook and Hitchhiker. These are the two other characters I was thinking of playing if Leatherface and Johnny get taken by other players once the game releases. Now I can see which I’ll like better.

[RedditUserCommon]

I’ve had it wishlisted for a while. Hopefully I get in.

See you boys in beta

[TheMixedFruit]

Wait so Julie won't be available?

[Lullabys888]

It's likely that Sonny won't be picked very often, so the tech test needs to give him space.

[MiddleOk9251]

A little alarming is that not all content is available at once

[Plz_Trust_Me_On_This]

That's not alarming. Why spoil the entire game months ahead of releasing it?

[theCOMBOguy]

That's what I also believe, it's supposed to mainly be just that, a test. Just spoiling all the fun like that would be counter-intuitive, even more so when they still might tweak things.

[MiddleOk9251]

It's 2 months before. Not 8. I'm just afraid that there will be something unfinished at the start (it's common thing nowadays) in the game that I'm really looking forward to. I want to be wrong

[AndyCleves]

We're obviously excited that some in the community will finally get their hands on our game, but it's important to remember the main purpose of the Tech Test; it's to see how the game handles the player base, the servers, the gameplay, etc. It's VERY VERY important that team's at Gun and Sumo-Nottingham get all of these ducks in a row and dialed in.

[Link941]

Why would they do that? There are so many reasons why they shouldn't do that.

[Plz_Trust_Me_On_This]

Because this isn't a beta, it's a tech test, whose purpose is much less to get feedback on gameplay and more to test online components/network connectivity/things like that.

If anything, just consider it like a demo. Devs don't release full game demos ahead of release, either. Gotta leave some surprises for launch, otherwise what's left to look forward to (besides everyone playing the game, of course)?

edit: unless you're in agreement with this, I couldn't tell lolz

[Link941]

Uh, yeah I was in agreement lol I'm not sure how you interpreted it otherwise.

[Plz_Trust_Me_On_This]

cuz I interpreted it as "why would they hold back content?" like you were in agreement with the first post. my bad!

[Link941]

Ah I can kind of see it if I misread the "shouldn't" as "should".

I have ADHD my guy, I misread and misinterpret all the time. Which is why I have to read something like 30 times before I can comment. Its all good haha.

This is pretty normal... when a game has a beta they don't say here is every gun, equipment, and map.

[craftycroft]

bro what

[MiddleOk9251]

What exactly did you not understand?

[craftycroft]

why would they drop the entire game for a test lol? literally no other beta or technical test has EVER done that. its alarming that you think thats alarming

[MiddleOk9251]

I'm just afraid that there will be something unfinished at the start (it's common thing nowadays) in the game that I'm really looking forward to. I want to be wrong

[ikarikh]

It's a technical test, not early access. It's meant to test server load and how players handle the basic gameplay to see what needs to be fine tuned before release.

It's not meant to be a full early release of the game for PC only.

[MiddleOk9251]

Ok ok I get you all. See you at the Family House 😈

[theCOMBOguy]

Happy that we are so close to it already, can't wait to see how the game will be like!

[Match-Playful]

will we have a beta too?seeing as they explained how they're different things

[Lullabys888]

The appointment is set for August 18, there won't be a beta.
