Focus Entertainment has just released a new action RPG from DON’T NOD, called Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden. Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden is powered by Unreal Engine 5, however it does not take advantage of Lumen or Nanite. And, according to our early tests, it appears that the game runs with over 100fps at Native 4K/Max Settings on the NVIDIA RTX 4090.
For our initial tests, we used an AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D, 32GB of DDR5 at 6000Mhz, and NVIDIA’s GeForce RTX 4090. I also used Windows 10 64-bit, and the GeForce 551.23 driver. Moreover, I’ve disabled the second CCD on our 7950X3D.
First things first. The game will compile its shaders the first time you launch. As such, you won’t get any shader compilation stutters while playing it. However, there are some traversal stutters when loading new areas. As you can see in the following video, these stutters are not that annoying. And yes, these traversal stutters are also present on consoles.
At Native 4K/Max Settings and with DLAA, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 runs the game with 100-130fps. There is also support for AMD FSR 2.2, as well as DLSS 3. Yes, the launch version supports DLSS 3 Frame Generation from the get-go. And no, there is no news on when – and if – DON’T NOD will add support for AMD FSR 3.0 Frame Generation.
As I said, Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden does not support Lumen or Nanite. And, to be honest, I was a bit disappointed by the game’s graphics. You see, right now I’m playing Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth which looks miles better than Banishers. While the main characters in Banishers look great, the lighting looks so dated. Not only that but a lot of torches do not cast shadows. Thankfully, pop-ins are kept to a minimum, so that’s at least good news. However, there is nothing here that will “wow” you.
Our PC Performance Analysis for this game will go live later this week, so stay tuned for more!

All that talk about graphics, what about the gameplay? I click and see a black woman moving in a linear forest exactly like alan wake 2, is anyone legitimately excited to play these games?
According to the steam player count, no.
I have a seen a review, without even considering the woke, its gameplay is dull, artificially lengthened, atmosphere is bad (sad stories of ghosts), …
The guy said he was expecting better from dontnod (LUL).
tell me its not mortismsar the guy who does “100%” that guy is a liear he said graven had a good story when there is no story in graven, the ending does not finish the story that the intro cutscene started, all his reviews are filler, it doesnt seem he finishes games so he just lies about them and then says ‘after 100%”
No it’s some French guy.
That’s just the prologue. After that it’s a semi open-world game with
metroidvania elements, and it’s great. Here’s my review with 4K
screenshots and in-depth analysis of the narrative and the gameplay:

sorry but im currently on play old leave woke
It is a DON’T NOD game. None of their games have much gameplay.
Evryone who plays action games will play it. like me that iplay all action games.
The moment I saw a Diversity Protagonist, I lost interest.
Yeah, 10 years ago I wasn’t like that, but that’s what these people achieved.
Kudos on inclusiveness.
when i saw the black woman riding the dude i was like “too french for me”

It’s just pathetic.

Wow, it’s even more cringe-inducing than I had anticipated. Dontnod is still a massive bundle of sticks I see.

” Not only that but a lot of torches do not cast shadows. ”
Incoming torches cast shadows mod on Nexus.

Hey John, if you’d be so kind, when making articles on UE4 and UE5 games, can you also list what version the games are using? Thanks.
In this case, the game isn’t using Lumen or Nanite and that’s mostly explainable due to the fact it’s using UE 5.0.3.
Alan wake : Banishers of new wok***caugh caugh*** herr Eden
What i do not realize is in fact how you are no longer actually much more wellfavored than you might be right now Youre very intelligent You recognize thus considerably in relation to this topic made me in my view believe it from numerous numerous angles Its like men and women are not fascinated until it is one thing to do with Lady gaga Your own stuffs excellent All the time handle it up
Woke interracial trash
There is no “woke, hatespeech, man vs. woman, vaccinated vs. un-vaccinated, black vs. white, trans-whatever, political left vs. right” whatever.
It’s all social engineering (divide and conquer, psyop, agitprop).
If you really want to educate what’s it all about, than tell the truth (or people will suspect you as a lackey/AI-bot of the global elite’s, pushing their social engineering, sitting somewhere in their NGO’s, CIA, NSA, Mossad facilities).
Just as on reddit all nearly all other media
old(.)reddit(.)com/r/conspiracy_commons/comments/131w3af/not_free_anymore/ji8tnhi/
It’s not even about DEI, CEI, ESG, Blackrock (forcing behavior), but about the social credit system, first pushed onto every company on the globe, and then at every citizen.
It’s the NWO. Orwellian 1984-communism agenda.

overexxagerated censorship and anti-spam whatever.
Thanks for being an ignorant and making that dumb decison for so long, not even whitelisting your own domain and mainstream ones.
Weak white man, strong negro ghost lady, yes guys even as a ghost she’s stronger than your white protagonist… That ticks warning signs for me. The forced romance between a negro woman and a white man is also something that is a disgrace, they systematically wanna erase white families as quickly as possible, Christanity will be overshadowed by all other religions and it’ll eventually evaporate, I guess how it all started? Movie industry first, series and the gaming industry came after.
As always, the game itself, story telling and what not is lacking due to it because they are so heavily focused on things that aren’t important at all.. I got no beef against ‘strong women’ if its done correctly, like Ellen Riplay from Alien (movie) and Lara Croft (games). They’re strong but still show feminity, as how its suppose to be. If they would do Uncharted in today’s era with neil drunkmann helming it, we’d get a negro Nathan Drake that would have a brownie or negro support character that has to save him every time he’s in danger.
Those who are helming our franchises, old and new IPs, are gonna destroy everything we once loved and cared for, and it goes beyond our escapism, we see our politics being filled with outsiders, people that don’t originally belong, yet they decide what we can and can’t do. An uprise will eventually happen, globally, a resist would come, civil war, and guess whom we gotta thank for it? All companies that forced our escapism into tr**ny woke trash, exposing kids and teenagers to a new age where the older people, or young parents are deemed racists because we simply hate where the world is going, for ourselves but also for the future of our own race and humanity itself.
