  • Tales of Berseria PC - Demo and DRM

    [ATTACH=CONFIG]10230[/ATTACH]
    The demo for Tales of Berseria on the PC and PlayStation 4 was released today. PC users can download the demo through Steam.
    In TALES OF BERSERIA, players embark on a journey of self-discovery as they assume the role off Velvet Crowe, whose once kind demeanor has been replaced and overcome with a festering anger and hatred after a traumatic experience three years prior to the events within the game. Velvet will join a crew of pirates as they sail across the sea and visit the many islands that make up the sacred kingdom of Midgand in an all-new adventure developed by the celebrated team behind the TALES OF series.

    The full game will be released on January 24 on the PS4 and on January 26 on the PC through Steam.

    And now, the bad news. In a recent posting on the Steam Community page for Tales of Berseria, the team from Bandai Namco gave the PC requirements and talked about what DRM they're using. Hold onto your butts those who think DRM is the devil.
    There is also a burning question asked by our fans that we want to answer. Will Tales of Berseria have Denuvo on STEAM? The answer is yes.

    We love the community: it is you guys that ensure that we continually bring more Tales games out, and to a high caliber. It wouldn’t be fair to you if we didn’t put any systems in place to prevent people who try to acquire the game through illegitimate means as it eventually will slow us down bringing games onto PC. Denuvo has been proven to be a reliable way to fight piracy. So far, no conclusive evidence is proven to disrupt the player experience.

    Denuvo is used in games like Rise of the Tomb Raider, Just Cause 3, Dragon Age: Inquisition, Watch Dogs 2, and many others. People that are against Denuvo claim that the DRM constantly writes to drives and reduce the life of SSDs as a result. That claim has yet to be proven and has been denied by Denuvo.

    Besides this DRM news, the developer has also detailed the game's requirements on the PC.
    MINIMUM:
    • OS: Windows 7, 8, 10 (64-bit)
    • Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 3.0GHz or AMD Phenom II X2 550, 3.1GHz
    • Memory: 2 GB RAM
    • Graphics: GeForce 9800 GTX or AMD Radeon HD 4850
    • DirectX: Version 9.0c
    • Storage: 15 GB available space
    • Sound Card: DirectX 11 compatible

    RECOMMENDED:
    • OS: Windows 7, 8, 10 (64-bit)
    • Processor: Intel Core i5-750, 2.66GHz or AMD Phenom II X4 965, 3.2GHz
    • Memory: 4 GB RAM
    • Graphics: GeForce GTX 560 or Radeon HD 7870
    • DirectX: Version 9.0c
    • Storage: 15 GB available space
    • Sound Card: DirectX 11 compatible

    The PC release will allow for rebinding of keys and easily swapping between and keyboard/mouse and a controller. Visual customization includes things like resolutions, AA, AF, and more. It supports 4K resolution (though it is upscaled) and AA options such as various levels of SMAA and FXAA. Sadly, it seems like the game will "run at 60fps by default."

      I haven't experienced anything myself to suggest Denuvo does anything harmful, but given copyright softwares habit of harming computer hardware in the past it wouldn't surprise me.
      Denuvo has been cracked in a few games, but it seems each game it releases on presents a new challenge, the company behind it claim that it's successful during the most critical part of a game's life, that being the first month or so of its release.
      It would be nice then if it was voluntarily deactivated by the publisher at some point when it doesn't matter as much.

      Piracy aside, this looks like a nice and colourful game, i haven't played any game in the Tales series :S.

    Denuvo to Offer Independent Benchmarks to Prove It Doesn't Cause Performance Issues
    by Shawn Zipay
    The controversial DRM system has long been blamed for poorly performing PC games.

    Despite the years of complaints from PC players, Denuvo is still the go-to option when it comes to adding anti-tamper and anti-piracy measures into new game releases. It's also still just as common to hear complaints from players saying that Deunvo is responsible for any and all performance woes that a player faces when playing a video game with it included.

    These claims of degraded performance...

    Denuvo Anti-Cheat Getting Removed from DOOM Eternal in Next Update
    by Shawn Zipay
    Consider this a horribly failed experiment.

    id Software executive producer Marty Stratton took to Reddit to announce that the much detested Denuvo Anti-Cheat will be removed in the next update for DOOM Eternal. For those who are not aware, the previous update for DOOM Eternal added in the third-party anti-cheat to the game.

    Much like the anti-cheat used in Valorant, the Denuvo Anti-Cheat operates with elevated permissions at ring 0, or at the kernel level of a system....

    Legit Game Buyers Punished as Denuvo DRM Fully Cracked
    by Shawn Zipay
    Mandatory 14-day online checks or no gaming for you.

    Apparently, there are now exactly zero games with Denuvo that have not been either cracked or bypassed. This is according to Tom's Hardware who cite a few different hacking groups in their report.

    As of April 27th, there are "officially" no games with Denuvo's anti-tamper and DRM software left to crack. This is due to the efforts of groups such as the MKDev collective and DenuvOwO. These two groups found...
