It looks great 

Battlefields look a bit blurry though.

Have you seen genuine photos from the time? Everything that isn't nailed down is blurry.

If you have a PS4 and enjoy action games I recommend picking up Ghosts of Tsushima. The combat feels visceral and the graphics are beautiful. It's also surprisingly calm and peaceful at times. Fits the samurai movie vibe perfectly.

Waiting for it to come to PC.

How does it ruin on a normal, old, non-pro PS4? Load times?

I have a regular PS4 and it runs fine. Occasional frame rate drops below 30 fps (both versions are 30 fps capped). Load times are amazingly short. Fast-traveling take maybe 5 seconds and reloading after dying takes like 3 seconds to load.

I would love a PC version at 60 fps but that will probably take years to happen.

Yeah.

B&W mode at a somewhat jerky 24 fps works for me  . Alas no PS4 (I thought about buying one a few months ago, but thought it pointless so late in the console's cycle...).

Yeah there's a "Kurosawa mode" which filters the graphics through a B&W film grain which is pretty cool, but the game is beautiful in normal mode too. 

This game is well optimized but it's still old hardware. The drops to 25-26 fps are noticeable if you're used to ROCK HARD 60 fps on a PC game. My brother bought me Death Stranding on Steam and that game is soooo smooth in 60 fps.

The answer appears in your question

Carrion comes out tomorrow, a metroidvania heavily inspired by The Thing, with you playing as The Thing, an amorphous mass of flesh and tentacles trying to break out of confinement, growing larger the more you consume. And apparently you can also take over humans temporarily.

First 25 minutes of gameplay below. The animation of your ... character(?) is quite disturbing, to say the least.

ABOUT THIS GAME

CARRION is a reverse horror game in which you assume the role of an amorphous creature of unknown origin. Stalk and consume those that imprisoned you to spread fear and panic throughout the facility. Grow and evolve as you tear down this prison and acquire more and more devastating abilities on the path to retribution.

MATURE CONTENT DESCRIPTION

The developers describe the content like this:
CARRION contains frequent graphic violence and gore.

Government pre-approval of movies for age 15+ was ended ten years ago. I don't know the exact rules for kids' movies, if they still require pre-approval (I think so though).

IIRC the very last movie that the government had any issues with was Casino in ´95.

I mean it looks cool and hypnotic but also that it'd be a pain to control yourself.

Yeah that rings a bell.
