  Fr. Sony/polyphony missing out on so many fans of GT that don’t buy consoles anymore.

  And no microsoft, forza is not the same…

  Those same countries that found space for all the rest of their industrial waste?

  Nuclear waste has a tiny footprint. Fence off a couple square km for security, dig a small but deep hole, and there ya go.

  Obviously oversimplifying, but the point is that nuclear waste is a tiny issue. The entire world’s waste could be stored in a single warehouse if we wanted to (we don’t).

  Ray tracing is not a fad though, and reducing it to just reflections is ignorant. Reflections, shadows, bounce lighting/global illumination, etc. all get noticeable bumps in quality. They are definitely more subtle than previous bumps from new techniques because those old techniques have gotten so damn good. But at the same time, those previous techniques have reached their limits and have unfixable problems. Whether that is occlusion artifacts in reflections, light leaking from global illumination, non-interactive baked lighting, shadows with uncanny resolution and no penumbra, hacky ambient occlusion, etc. etc… the problems are all minor, sure, but they are there, noticable, and devs want to keep pushing.

  And this is ignoring the benefits on the dev side as well. No more annoying rasterized light placement. And pulling your hair out trying to hack the engine to get the look youre after. “It just works” is an unfortunate comment but holds a lot of truth. Even non realistic looking games will use more and more raytracing as time goes on because of that. And eventually every device and card will have performance for a full suite of effects. Its an inevitability, not a fad.

  No. It wasn’t executed well. Plenty of other popular comics, tv shows, whatever have successfully blended sadness or other powerful emotions to their comedy. This one just failed. So it got memed.

  Double checked that i had more than 200, that doesn’t seem to fix it. I’ll probably try doing it on my PC later

  Made an account and tried to sign up for beta access, but the Submit Application button doesn’t work on my phone for some reason (or its sending 100 applications as i tried a few times lol). Using a Pixel 6, firefox mobile.

  Sounds pretty good. Personally i have no interest in Marvel stuff so its not up my alley, but i always like it when a fanbase gets something they enjoy. Have fun!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Marvels Rivals requires creators to sign a contract that removes your right to give a negative review to access the playtest⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Blink twice if you signed the contract…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨7 Days to Die is leaving Early Access⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Doesnt help that the combat is unresponsive and janky as fuck anyway, so playing without cheese is an excercise of frustration.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Star Wars Outlaws: Official Story Trailer⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The entire galaxy hinges on them because its a space fantasy with superheros and supervillains… If just anyone could change the fate of the galaxy then it wouldnt be the same star wars. Its fun to be involved in those main events, even by proxy. Just existing in the universe can be fun too, i admit, but its a different fun.

  Are you actually crying about someone having a cool image on their debit card for something they are a fan of?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Cities: Skylines II - Updates on Modding⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Modders have never let these types of things limit them before. Look at mods for games that dont even support modding to begin with. I expect there will wind up being mods on nexus or something for the complicated stuff that consoles don’t support.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Unity boycott begins as devs switch off ads to force a Runtime Fee reversal - Mobilegamer.biz⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  The company making enough money to trigger said fees?

  I dont support this new structure, but its not like these fees are attacking game companies which have no profits

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Open source community figures out problems with performance in Starfield⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  This is what happens when a new console generation comes around. Just because you are on PC does not mean you are exempt from industry norms which are largely pushed by consoles. Your 970 was significantly stronger than the xbox one and the ps4, so you could use it for that entire generation if you wanted. Your 2060 is weaker than the xbox series x and the ps5, so should be no surprise that you use lower settings than those consoles.

  Same with ssds. They werent required for so long because the consoles didnt have them. Now they do, and fast ones at that. So devs use them, and sometimes require them.

  Now obviously starfield in particular is not a shining beacon of next gen technology and optimization. But those reasons you chose to pick on are not really examples of its failings.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Starfield players pirate the DLSS mod after the developer locks it behind paywall⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  The inputs are mostly the same, so implementing one essentially implements the other. Much like how implementing fsr2 is so similar to dlss and xess.

  DF was referring to a question about devs patching old games to add in fsr3 frame gen, as if its some simple toggle for games which may not even have motion vector or optical flow data already exposed.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Starfield Launch Details, PC Specs & More⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes. Now that all the consoles have ssds, devs are going to design their games around them. That means asset streaming is the norm. Amd that means hdds will cause massive pop-in and stutters.
