By inky Go To PostThere has been a real incentive to make all your shit scalable for many years now, to be in as many platforms as possible and well, I'm not a developer, true, but it feels like it has never been easier to do it with all the options and well developed engines out there. At the same time, yeah, the more configs you have to account for, well, it definitely adds work and I can see how that could be annoying.
That's the interesting bit. He was saying it wasn't a simple matter of scaling, that it was way more labor intensive than most people would imagine. Skip to the 12:20 min mark (video is segmented).
By AlphaSnacks Go To PostThat's the interesting bit. He was saying it wasn't a simple matter of scaling, that it was way more labor intensive than most people would imagine. Skip to the 12:20 min mark (video is segmented).he's talking specifically about the difficulties in porting a game when new constraints are introduced.
Yeah, I did see the video. My impression was he's talking specifically about the cross-gen period, and engineering an "old game" (in this case Control) to a new system is a lot more difficult than when you build a new game from scratch with all 3 platforms (X/S+PS5) in mind from the beginning. Tools are the most important thing.
I mean, I get it. Remedy already had tons of issues making Control run on last gen as it was. They are a somewhat small studio that's split on 4 projects now. As the tools get better, stuff like RT and Fidelity get sorted and you can build your game with those in mind from the get go, and next-gen-only kicks on for good I just think Series S isn't going to become as much of a burden as people think for the mid tier third parties. It'll just get the worse versions of whatever's out there.

Dude is playing it with the damn watermark. He's gonna get fucked.

Unbelievable
Is it really just down to framepacing? The 30fps modes in tlou2 and Spider-Man feel infinitely smoother than the ones in FF15 or Control
Besides perfect frame pacing and good motion blur what else adds to it?

By sy Go To Postoh shit, lion king and Aladdin are on ps4. $20.00 tho, I ain't a Nintendo fan.it's the shitty mega drive version of aladdin though.
The only way to play Lion king in the year of our lord 2021 is if there is a save state or rewind function.
The QoL options in Nioh 2 are insane. Bless Team Ninja. extra shortcut pages, auto buy options, auto use options, menu options, per weapon visibility, action cam options. Sheesh.
Buy em Sony

Any of you lot have Hercules on PS1?
I got stuck, spent ages trying to work out where to go but just couldn’t figure it out, so in the end I had to just give up. I was about six at the time, but I still remember the feeling of powerlessness. There was nothing I could do to progress and that was it.

I went straight for the horns lol

That was a fun game.
Also, yeah those PlayStation demo discs were something. The Jampacks, the PizzaHut demo discs, and the OPM demo discs were fucking amazing.
Yeah demo discs were a good thing.
There was the ease of trying games.
I find it more bothersome looking and finding demos I want to try on the ps store than just having a disc that had a bunch of demos to try

By FootbalIFan Go To PostYeah demo discs were a good thing.typing demo and looking for a specific game you actually wanna try is more bothersome than inserting a disc with random games and not being able to play anything other than the demo till you remove it?

It's kinda annoying on PS5 since there's no free games/demos category anymore but I'd still take that over physical demos
man, cyberpunk really crashed and burned quickly.
They're putting out patch teasers to prove cops dont spawn behind you. jesus.
edit: THere's a part 2 to a patch teaser lmaaaaaaaaaoooo

Strange to put out official stuff that makes it look so lifeless. The vibrancy and feeling of a living city was one of the main selling points pre-release.
Would really like it to be good on ps5, but have very little faith in them.

I completely forgot Cyberpunk was released.
So there was still no major patches? I remember they saying that by february things would be better.

1.12 is quite stable but the 1.2 patch that the videos above refer to was indeed supposed to come out in February but was delayed because of the security hack.
