Graphics look promising. PS4 version metacritic 75, userscore 7.3

My findings:
- Engine: idTech5 (same as Rage, Wolfenstein)
- Officially running at 30 FPS fixed, but can be adjusted somehow via console (see below).

- Sets the FPS lock. Note that the numbers below are negative.
- -2: This is the default, set to 30 FPS. This is the officially supported frame rate
- -1: This sets the FPS limit to 60. Fully playable, although there may be quirks (we’re going to fix these).
- 0: This fully unlocks the FPS. We do not recommend playing above 60. We will not fix any issues above 60.
- Sets the aspect ratio. Default is 2.5, which is our official aspect ratio.
- 0 is full screen, but not ideal. 1.8 or 2 is probably most comfortable for those who don’t want bars.
- Turns on id’s native FPS counter

My findings:
- With FPS lock removed, game runs 60-80 FPS on GTX 980 with everything set to max @ 2560x1600 + MLAA. So obviously 30 FPS is no problem for most cards.
- Changing the aspectratio to remove the black bars on top and bottom will result in sides of the scene getting lost, not sure if this will affect gameplay because you can't see stuff.
- At 30 FPS the mouse cursor is very laggy, rest of the game plays surprisingly well.
- I'm not 100% sure, but beyond 60 FPS it seems the game time is running too fast, will update on that
- VRAM usage: 2560x1600, maxxed out, with AA, GTX 980, 2100 MB, so 2 GB cards should be fine too.
- No FOV adjustment, g_fov console variable is locked
- 64-bit binary only, NO 32-bit
- Game uses around 1.5 GB system memory
