- Comment on Silent Hill 1 Remake in Full Production, Confirms Bloober Team 1 week ago:
Ooo, I’m excited! Their SH2 remake was very good minus typical UE5 problems. Their new original IP game Cronos that just came out was an outstanding survival horror, which had UE5 problems as well, but for me its overall performance was better. Here’s hoping they learn even more how to correctly use the engine.
For anyone who’s a fan of Resident Evil, Silent Hill, or Dead Space, you should definitely try out their new game Cronos: The New Dawn. The story alone absolutely hooked me, and I was fully invested to finish the game to learn wtf was happening.

To be fair, Crytek said it wasn’t unoptimized, but graphically over tuned on purpose, so that even years after release new hardware could finally play the game to its full potential and keep it a relevant graphical benchmark.
If that was a stupid idea in hind sight is another matter 👀.

I looked up some videos from YouTube sleuths on why so many UE5 games suck. For any studio previously using UE3 or 4, they had to relearn/recreate nearly their entire workflow again. 5 very much changed damn near everything. But also that 5 has all this tech that everyone assumes works in all scenarios and is a miracle. When in reality it’s still software tech and has very real limitations and best use cases that studios ignore. Larger studios “should” be able to trial and error while burning through $ to figure it out, but usually management doesn’t give them enough time. Smaller studios can’t afford to have many many months of downtime learning to re-adapt everything. It’s just so damn complex that very few have had time and $ to just trial and error figure out its limitations and to work within them.
It SHOULD get better and better as time goes on, though. The tech pieces in 5 keep getting improvements, and theoretically people should eventually start to adapt to it correctly, and the knowledge should spread as devs move to different studios for new work.

Holy fucking hell… I had to reread that 5 times in the article to believe it. I bet if they rebranded it the Fertitta Embassy and flew in Mattress Mack to party he’d stay there. Or maybe it’s all a mission to steal family recipes and open an Italian Landry’s.

It does seem a lot of games pivoted from cheap enough so everyone will buy it, to whale hunting. They had people run numbers and found whale hunting paid off more, and how much $ they could charge for a skin combined with FOMO before driving the whales away.

They sure have good enough headphones to do so. Audeze brand, so they could easily be $900-4000!

I vote early every single chance. Lemmy is an echo chamber, you’re preaching to the choir. I just think there’s a healthy difference between being informed, and letting it seep into every crevace of your life. And, if I wanted political memes I’d go look at politicalmemes.

- Comment on Rainbow Six Siege X: Launch Trailer 3 months ago:
I was accepted into the test of this game. I don’t play Siege at all anymore, but was excited to see their “fixed” audio in action, and the new game mode with limited operators seemed fun and fresh.
The audio was considerably worse. Sound literally was unable to go through doorways and windows.
I also noticed when spectating that like >1/2 of players would die from getting shot in the back. Like completely oblivious someone else was nearby. Then I realized basically no one could hear anything, like at all. We couldn’t hear gadgets, glass breaking, barriers being thrown up or torn down, foot steps; just faint gunshots if they were only one room away.
I hate gambling, but if possible I’d consider betting big $ it’s not fixed, at all.
