    No, there was a performance embargo for reviewers that wasn’t lifted until after the developers had made their statement a few days ago.

      It was pretty funny seeing stuttery footage on 60fps YouTube videos without any acknowledgement from the player lol

        There is a reason for them to not report on it. They were still working on the game (and they still are even). They don’t know how the performance will end up at release until it’s there. Reporting on it too early just misinforms people.

            I’ve watched a good bit of the game so far. I don’t think anyone hasn’t discussed performance. It’s not something being hidden, it just isn’t where it should be or where they want it to be, and they’ve been clear they’re going to continue working on it to get it where it should be. They just can’t hit that target for launch. Delaying it wouldn’t be great either because plenty of people will be able to run it, just not as well as it could be. That’s OK in my opinion.

        I think they did well tbh. They of course hoped they would be able to resolve it before release, so it shouldn’t be the focus on reviewers.

        At least reviewers made it clear that there still was something to be said about performance, but it would have to wait.

        And Colossus then made a clear statement on performance themselves up front of the launch date.
