post lost technologies
i don't think such a thing exists when it comes to video games
>>719396493is this real? when did mechs use to exist?
>>719396823Wait, in the last clip, why is the hud showing a shotgun yet Frank is actually holding a knife?
>>719396823i find it interesting they still use the edited picture of samuel l jackson
>>719397264ki...kino
>>719397264the only devs that are given time to do stuff like this are rockstarstandards are fucking so low nowadays that running at a solid 30 FPS stands out
>>719397516im scared bros...
>>719396493ON looks better
>>719398080I really thought Crysis would become the standard of video games by 8th gen. Instead it's just a lone wolf.Another thing that Webm reminds me of is explosions: no fucking game seems to do them right anymore. Look how god damn good they look here. I remember being blown away by how good the explosions looked in Saints Row back then as well. Hell even compared Halo 3 phantoms exploding to Infinite. What the fuck happened to the industry. It's like everyone collectively stopped trying.
>>719397516the wii version is based off of RE4
>>719398080i don't see anything technologically unique, it's just very good presentation(replayed OG Crysis and Warhead last month btw, amazing games)
tech peaked here, still the most beautiful game ever made
>>719396493There's a thing in the uncharted games, 2 and 3, I think, where they somehow load in a massively higher res texture for whatever you're aiming at without time for the player to notice anything's changed. Meanwhile UE5 can't even load things in time for a cutscene.
>>719398263crysis has the tree destruction that i don't see in any other games
>>719398080Graphics have stayed the exact same since 2007.
>>719398080>the shockwave pushing the trees awaykino kiiiiiinooooooooo
>>719398286>mediocre open world slop
>>719396493Is this a real game or just a tech demo?I am hurting for some decent mecha games on PC
>>719398417al'sneed
>>719396823what do reflections have to do with ram?
>>719398237Most vfx artists these days are brown retards
>>719398263OG Crysis has some of the most advanced vegetation in any video game. It was immediately taken out with the standalone expansion Warhead and then never came back.
>>719398453I think this was the original hawken? No, it's not worth playing now, and wasn't then either.
>>719398484you would expect memory usage to go up when rendering reflections because it has to store a separate video feed of what the mirror would see
>>719398263It´s not lost tecnologies per se, but lost use. All that shit can be done today, but they instead they chose to do some quick trick and call it a day.
>>719396493>causes a bunch of graphical glitchesYeah turn all this shit off.
>>719398080Which crysis is this?
>>7193988341, obviously. Crysis 2 and 3 are urban enviroments.
>>719398097Last time I remember noticing anything like this was the CoD4 remaster with the barrels.>shoot a barrel>it drains from the bullet hole then stops>shooting below the previous hole will cause it to drain some more>shooting higher than the previous hole won't cause it to drain>the length of time it drains depends on how low the hole is on the barrel and the number of holes
>>719398470YO LISTEN UP HERE’S A STORY ABOUT A LITTLE GUY THAT LIVES IN A BLUE WORLD AND ALL DAY AND ALL NIGHT AND EVERYTHING HE SEES IS JUST BLUE
>>719397516I guess its just selected but he hasnt "activated" it yet by aiming/bringing it up
>>719396493
>>719398970But anon, we still have movie sets...
>>719398834>>719398897Correction, crysis 1 or warhead.
>>719398097Seriously anon? Devs have huge dev time now. We’re talking years longer than devs used to have.
Shit like this takes too much time and effort and 99% of players ignore it or don't care.
>>719399027We lost the technology required to make moon landing movies
>>719396493>Hawkinwhat went wrong?
>>719399157That's why Daddy Elon is working on getting people used to thinking shitty CGI is real
>>719399141which is why modern games are so much better and more tightly focused... right?
>>719398237i can't believe retards still dismiss it as a tech demoIt's got so much stuff that one-ups every shooter that came before it: the phyics, the destructability, the all-ballistic weapons, the customization, the MMB suit controls, the whole "wide linear" level design, the AI, you can name it.Crysis is what Star Citizen is advertising itself to be, only it was released after 3 years of development.
>>719398237i remember Post Scriptum having badass explosionsalso now i want to play Crysis/Crysis Warhead
>>719397264>look how hard I can piss
>>719398416only happens once though
>>719396493I dont understand why they abandoned this shit. It was so fucking cool and made games way more satisfying to play
>>719399370yep it's really mind boggling. i remember even back when I had a potato piece of shit that could barely run it at 720p and 30fps I still found the game to be fun as hell just based on its open level design and interactive AI. Plus the set pieces from that webm mission plus the one just before it were fucking awesome. game really does go to shit post-aliens but oh well.The modding scene back then was glorious too. So many awesome mission mods and full-length custom campaigns on crymods. I don't think the site exists anymore which is a shame.
>>719399506Them disabling it for Planetside 2 made me unironically uninstall. Battles completely lost their flair.
>>719399141>too much time
>>719396493Every game has useless cosmetic particle effects now though
>>719399075All that extra time? Spent trying to wrangle the countless outsourced asset farms, having to re-re-re-re-re-recheck everything, "corporate culture" executives having a dozen meetings per day instead of letting devs make shit.
>>719399506They didn't have their datacenter/AI infinite money glitch working yet so they couldn't throw hundreds of millions into forcing devs to use they tech in their games or to endlessly shilling it like ray tracing
>>719396493you can easily do far more elaborate stuff even in unreal 4 for a fraction of the cost of the old physx. it's actually kind of annoying how so many games have a billion particles at all times because they're practically free to use in terms of performance.
>>719399780Niagra is just as ugly and tacky.I hate unreal particles.
>>719398930You think that's blue?YOU DON'T KNOW THE MEANING OF THE WORD
>>719396493looks like unreal5 niagara slop
>>719399474Small things like this are underrated
>>719399583Borderlands 2 is so fucking cool with physxI use amd now but i still have a nvidia gpu to plug in just for borderlands 2 playthroughs
>>719400069what are the noita devs up to these days?
>>719400004true
>>719400427theyre fighting the power
>>719400427I think one of them is still making Baba is You things.One supposedly is going around as a wandering magician.The third one? No clue.
>>719399938and it runs at 1/16th the compute
Infamous Second Son has a lot of cool particle effects. It was a very popular effect in early ps4 games
>>719400890
>>719400913darn. that game engine is some cool stuff. i guess i would retire too if i made a successful game, though.
>>719399141>Shit like this takes too much time and effort and 99% of players ignore it or don't care.we literally live in a vidya hellscape because every game looks the samedo you think anyone will post a webm someday of something in a modern triple AAA game like the current Assasin's creed?
>>719399506>I dont understand why they abandoned this shit. It was so fucking cool and made games way more satisfying to playBecause hordes of niggers online screeched about it killing gaming and being anti-consumer, just like they're doing now with DLSS and raytracing.
>>719401667Seethe more retard. DLSS is fake resolution, while raytracing tanks the performance like a fucking bomb.
>>719401878DLSS is unironically basedbetter image quality than native at 1440p
>>719400987SEX
>>719401981For anti-aliasing alone it's pretty good. Shame about the temporal artifacts though.
>>719401981>better image quality than native at 1440pPutting a sharpness filter over everything is not better quality.
>>719399506it only worked with a small range of GPUs that had the physix PPU and it was optimized like shit for CPU operations on purposethen no one bothered to write an equivalent
>>719401878>while raytracing tanks the performance like a fucking bomb.So did PhysX, which is why everyone hated it. People started liking PhysX years down the line when they had GPUs several generations ahead of the technology.>>719402110>Putting a sharpness filter over everything is not better quality.Correct, which is why you can compare DLSS vs standard antialiasing + sharpening filter, and see that DLSS produces better image quality.
>>719402057There have been a couple recent games I've been surprised how good it looks and isn't blurry in motion. The BF6 beta was one of them, looked great although it didn't really give me any extra frames playing at 1440p max settings comparing native with no AA vs DLSS quality but it looked much better>>719402110shut the fuck up retard
>>719402214The reason people say BF6 looks good is because it has an ungodly amount of sharpening on by default. Just like nuBF2.
>>719398412Elden Ring and Battlefield have that feature. It's not as smooth though.
>>719396823Dead Rising had such a fun engine. Was that the fox engine or something different?
>>719396493I dont have my webms anymore but red faction
>>719402356it's def oversharpened by defaultp sure it's set to 50, I turned down to 20 I think
>Trespasser had 100% inverse kinematic animations back in fucking 1998>Somehow games still fucking refuse to use them despite it looking way more organic and natural
i love current game graphics because it's like the most obvious tell for how to differentiate a good artist from a bad one which is stylei wouldn't be surprised if modern teams are just pajeets thinking 4K TEXTURE BETTER THAN 2K TEXTURE SAAR I DID MY JOB and they just put the file in an upscaling thing and call it a day, modern devs would never think of doing anything resembling >>719397264
>>719402461before RE Engine, Capcom used MT Framework. It was first used in Lost Planet and Dead Rising.
>>719398517this. why pay one white western artist a proper salary when you can hire 100 browns in a digital sweatshop for the same amount?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Cm4tQOBPxA
>>719396493>post lost technologiesHigh native framerates
>>719402209>So did PhysX, which is why everyone hated it. People started liking PhysX years down the line when they had GPUs several generations ahead of the technologySee the problem there, right?It´s that they try to force early stage tecnology into everything. And the rules of nature dictates that any force applied will find a force applied in the opposite direction.Its unfair to "hate" (pointing out is shit is not hate) it when there is proofs everywhere that is a shitty tecnology (at the moment)?
>>719402209>So did PhysX, which is why everyone hated it. People started liking PhysX years down the line when they had GPUs several generations ahead of the technology.People hated PhysX for the same reason people hate DLSS/RTX.It's a Nvidia exclusive technology shoved into games where it doesn't belong as a dumbass industry market share battle, and for the frames it eats it doesn't remotely improve visuals enough.OH MY GOD WOW METRO LAST LIGHT NOW HAS HEAPS OF DUMBASS CUBE PARTICLES FROM EXPLOSIONS!THIS TOTALLY DESERVES ALL MY FRAMES!
>>719402758That´s not lost, that´s thrown away.
>>719398080The trees aren't physic based they are scripted assets that can only move once. Notice how the vegetation stops reacting after the first shot.
>>719403279You begged games to throw it away.
>>719396493>euphoria>DMM
>>719403441I don´t own a fagstation, so no.
>>719396493Why?Can't this be done with shaders nowadays for way less computing cost?
>>719403527Jeets.Jeets can AI upscale as many fucking textures as you want for dirt cheap.But they can't do anything else graphically. If it's not a default UE5 setting it does not exist to the jeet.
>>719396493>nvidia physx>lost technologyilliterate cucks
Minimun viable product, retards.Why should devs spent a cent of shareholder money on this shit?
>>719403596>If it's not a default UE5 setting it does not existI think this explains like 70% of the industry slop.
>>719403710Wasn´t news months ago that the 50xx series would discar that tecnology?
>>719403763>Why should devs spent a cent of shareholder money on this shit?You're right, you're so smart. Keep making games worse, I'm sure it'll be great for the industry.
>>719403763>Why should devs spent a cent of shareholder money on this instead of buying the CEO a new yacht?fixed
>>719403596What the fuck does this have to do with Unreal or streetshitters or AI? Are you faggots a stuck record who only know those 3 words and just endlessly repeat it in every graphics discussion_?
>>719403884>Why can't we have fancy particle effects for when a game needs them for extra visual flair?>Explains why>WTF WHAT HAS THAT GOT TO DO WITH ANYTHING?Are you literally a doublenigger?
>>719399595>sunkcostfallacy.jpgtodd had the chance to stop
>>719403763>Why should devs spent a cent of shareholder money on this shit?My god, anon, back in these days, video games had a fraction of the budget they do now.
>>719404235If the games have lower budget, how the fuck are we going to skim money into our pockets with plausible deniability???
>>719404343The good old fashioned way, of course! Market shorting.
>>719400987Fear not, the tech has been recovered:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eOFs-q_kUAY
>>719404235>>719404343which modern games had about the same budget?
>>719404640>22 million dollarybucksThat's not even enough money to pay for our marketing campaigns. It's impossible to make a game with that little of a budget.
>>719399525the post-alien part is very, very short, i just replayed the game
>>719403826How is that "lost"? The only reason games utilize PhysX because it was literally equivalent to toggling a flag and NVIDIA does most of the work through their SDK because it was there new meme feature. It's no magic you can implement it yourself.
>>719399506Isn't PhysX an actual physics engine now?
>>719402445>Elden Ring>any kind of vegetation destruction physics>any destruction physics at all except for tables and shit that play a baked shatter animation and then immediately disappearWhat?
>>719399141I think its more like board member gaslighting through journalist to say things like you do, so they can make more profit through a streamlined content creation process and lower expectations for their products, industry wide. Why compete when its cheaper to all be the same and leave consumers no choice? You see this in design philosophy in cars, homes, food, fashion, tech, etc. Its risky to be different, hence the term "corporate slop". There is a reason for big publishers buying out developers to only kill their IP. Creativity is expensive.
>>719399506The problem was that it raped performance and really added that much. I really liked it in Mirror's Edge for the cloth-like physics and the fog in BamHam games. But that's mostly it. 90% of the time you just got a gorillion of random debris and random pieces of paper flying around. Paper was fucking everywhere. It sucked.
>>719404640My god, you are retarded.https://www.forbes.com/sites/paultassi/2024/09/21/new-report-says-sonys-concord-cost-400-million-to-make
>>719400982And its doing 1/100th as much with 1/1000000th the flexibility
>>719399374be sure to play the originalsthe modded executables from github that pcgamingwiki recommend work without a hitch, and it didn't give me dolphin pornhold to aim is also much simpler to enable than i remembered, once again just go with the .cfg edit that pcgamingwiki recommends, it werks
>>719403884the GTA definitive edition was essentially 90% Indians just subdividing models in blender and AI upscaling textures
>>719405129>and it didn't give me dolphin pornHard drawback
Reminder that SLI never died, Big GPU just cut support and memory-holed it because they realized people could get high range performance at a fraction of the cost without needing to buy the newest cards. If you're willing to dive into the darkweb SLI support is alive and well, with homebrew drivers. But /v/ isn't ready for that discussion just yet.
>>719401878Checkerboard rendering with things like TAA is also fake resolution. Most AA solutions are fake resolution. Use MSAA and see how it compares performance wise if you dont want jaggies/ghosting at your 1080p resolution.
>>719405259SLI was the usual Nvidia jewish snake oil saleman nonsense.>Oy vey goyim, give us TWICE the money for 30% more performance! What a bargain! Sure it barely works on most games and once we drop support it won't work at all>But GIVE US MORE MONEY!
>>719399595ah, so they started development in 2021
>>719405259lmao nigger what, sli offers tremendous diminishing returns
>>719398080>Crysis is nearly 20 years old
>>719398383>Meanwhile UE5 can't even load things in time for a cutscene.It's UE4 but man, there's a cutscene in Days Gone where a big explosion happens and it was fucking a 2x2 texture until it was almost done fading away and it pissed me off so much. I hate Unreal Engine.
>>719404886Bosses can knock down trees and destroy like half of a church's structure. You can see this easily whenever you encounter a runebear or if you lure the tree sentinel at the start near the church.
>>719405732What game?
>>719397264That's not really lost and it's likely not really simulating liquid. Something similar exists in gta 5 and RDR2. It's a great detail but not something enitrely of the past.
>>719405886Do you have any fucking idea what the tree destruction physics in Crysis look like or what anon was talking about how good they are? Of course you don't. You're a Fromdrone, and that means you don't know shit about video games.
>>719398080Legit looks better in almost every way than modern games.
>>719406008Hydrophobia. Used it's own custom physics engine for water. Similar to the nvidia physx water demos.
>>719405732Is this game any good or is it only remembered for the gimmick?
>>719398834One. And this is the last open and sandboxy level in the whole game. The last third is complete dogshit.
>>719402685Except rockstar. Say what you want about the company (they are terrible), and their priorities. They polish their games very well.
>>719406263The game isn't very good, just showcases unique/rare technology.
>>719403334Why don't they just reset to their initial state after the first shot? What's the advantage of coding them to only blow once?
Look if it can't be written into a user story by our "business analyst" that actively hates games, it's not going to the "delivery center" to be worked on.and even it becomes a "ticket" in our "Agile workflow". The planning is so mismanaged and it's not part of the mvp be so it'll still never be worked on.but hey, Agile forced all our developers to equally shit.
In an alternate universe cryengine would have won and we would have been spared all the terrible unreal smear games. I want off of this timeline.
>>719406153You stupid fucking nigger brained retard. You doubted there were any destruction physics I just pointed out how there were some. I'm not saying it's comperable to crysis in any way you absolute fucking retard. Getting so agressive over a reply that answers your query, you truly must be some fucking subhuman reject.
>>719406358Rockstar, Ubisoft and EA all have great artists and technical talent that can create phenomenally good looking games that run reasonably well. Too bad they have to ruin their games in other ways and don't put that talent to good use.
>>719407218Yep. Legitimate shame. (I actually happen to have really liked RDR2 though, I think it's underappreciated by those that rag on it).
>>719398286I remember being really impressed by how clouds would occasionally cover up the sun and change the lighting.
>>719407152>You doubted there were any destruction physics>physicsAn object breaking and immediately losing any collision is has is just an animation playing. They aren't physics objects, you stupid fucking cocksucking Fromdrone nigger. You don't get to redefine words because you got upset that someone pointed out what an ignorant monkey you are. Now skip the part where you try damage controlling and explaining how those are still destruction physics even though you're literally (not metaphorically) too fucking stupid to understand what physics are.
>>719396493That's not PhysX, that's turning UE4 particles on or off.
Enshrouded is apparently getting proper water physics in a patch soon, it looks neat I guess but the game itself still feels more like a Minecraft autism builder than proper game, sure the building system is really good and having actual water with physics is cool too but ultimately the game will still be a bit boring to me until they manage to make combat actually good.
>>719407684I JUST FUCKING POINTED OUT SOMETHING YOU WERE QUESTIONING YOU FUCKING FAGGOTI'm sorry it doesn't fit your specifications of what the feature should include. It doesn't add anything significant to the game it's just completely visual. I don't know why you keep calling me a fromdrone either just because I observed that something happened in the game I'm not here arguing in favor of elden ring or anything, do you just have to convince yourself you are arguing against some evil boogieman you fucking tranny brained retard.
>>719407402The shit RDR2 gets on /v/ is by either one of two groups. Retards who call it a movie game and are just parroting terms they don't understand. And disengenious /pol/tard who think that because Arthur doesn't say nigger every sentence or rape the girls in the camp the game is woke
>>719408726>I'm sorry it doesn't fit your specifications>your specificationsNope. I'm not going to entertain this. You don't get to redefine what words mean because you want to pretend you have a point. Shut the fuck up and stop arguing about things you don't understand on any level.>I don't know why you keep calling me a fromdroneBecause this poster said>>719398412>crysis has the tree destruction that i don't see in any other gamesand you replied with>>719402445>Elden Ring and Battlefield have that feature.You're a Fromdrone because you immediately try to pretend that their mechanically shit game has something that it objectively doesn't have on any level. You don't play video games. You don't know what destruction physics for trees is in Crysis, but you decided that sometimes trees break in Elden Ring so it was an apt comparison. You're a fucking retard and you don't know what you're talking about. You can have another reply when you learn what destruction physics actually are. And again, no amount of getting mad and pretend this is some subjective thing will change what destruction physics means.
>>719396493yakuza 6 has similar GPU particles. thsi is nothing new at this point just lost the nvidia branding. the even open sourced that shit.
>>719407402>I think it's underappreciated by those that rag on itRDR2 is just ruined by a lot of the story elements that are very obviously left wing propaganda>Sadie is a histrionic girl boss that cant do anything wrong>Arther is the most soft willed man in the time period, being ok with women voting and hating eugenics>Rockstar writing native American problems as "just white men trying to make natives look bad">ectIf most of this stuff was removed, im sure a lot of these people would love the game, it just that when you have inconsistencies caused by propaganda, it becomes very grating. A perfect example is Karen, she is a well written female gang member, she uses her feminine charms to get an advantage over men for the gang. Put a character as well written as that next to Sadie and you have clashing narratives, why doesnt Karen just become an overly emotional murderer like Sadie who hasnt even shot a gun or killed people until the gang found her but is somehow so dangerous even the gang members are scared of her? Theres too much of that kind of narrative clash that it takes the player who isnt turning off their brain out of the experience and it just becomes tiring to sit though. The gameplay is fun, the exploration is fun but the story elements are rough for sure.
>>719396493Ah yes, the yellow piss filter. Truly lost technology.
>>719398286>>719407582they literally lost that technology for AC2 and then brought it back in Brotherhood IIRC. if they brought it back.
>>719399239>intentionallylol
Nvidia used to be cool before AI shit..

GEE BILL, TWO REFLECTIONS?! FLOOR AND WINDOW?
>>719409334today's NVIDIA seething is exactly the same as it was during the PhysX days. 'oh no this is shit technology gimmick scam the bubble will burst this will age like shit' and then 10 years later even the weakest system requirements are good enough to run PhysX so suddenly everyone likes it
>>719409396Woops wrong video when i posted history lesson on technology:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nq6RJtyoiIw
>>719398286>tech peaked at brown-greyish ubislop
>>719408786im part of the group whos tired of rockstar's shitty scripted missions where you fail for stubbing your toe on a rock
>>719409089>why doesnt Karen just become an overly emotional murderer like Sadiebecause that isn't who she is
>>719399474amerimutts have ass physics intsead kek
>>719409423You're missing the point that PhysX was an experience enhancer and DLSS is just a performance crutch.
>>719406735cause the player will most likely break the engine doing it over and over again
>>719409334No, Nvidia has always been shit. They've been pushing useless, gimmicky tech that killed performance.Remember hairworks?I remember.
>>719409960Getting better performance without visual degradation (actually due to TAA being shit it's actually a visual upgrade) is part of getting a better experience.
>>719409974how would that break the engine lol
>>719409669You missed the point being made, If women can just become magical badasses over night, theres no reason for any other women to not do so. Sadie ruins the depth of other characters by being a super hero in a "historical" focused game.
>>719410163people have different personalities.
>>719398286>brown and bloomdie
>>719410102cause engines are not all thatwhat is it doom you can rise the fps and do 100ft jump glitch'seugines are always a cunt hairs away from breaking down
It's time to talk about Crysis 2's undermap water and overtesselated fucking concrete barriers.Fuck nvidia.
>>719410061I don't know I'm just not a fan of selling the fix to the problem you created type of business Nvidia does these days with DLSS. Their gimmicks in the past affected performance but it was cool and worth upgrading your PC for. I don't feel like upgrading cause UE5 stutters for no reason & RTX Hair is borderline subjective on if it looks better on or off.

>>719410324>undermap waterfake problem. water under the map will be rejected by the pixel shader because it's transparent, so it renders after the ground has already filled the depth buffer.the pixel shader of the water needs to be cheap enough that we can cover the whole screen with water surface. when it aborts early because of depth that will be cheaper. so water under the map is one of the better cases. water on top of the map is the worst case. that's where we have to optimize.
>>719410310true. this is why kojima is the goat.
>>719408786>And disengenious /pol/tard who think that because Arthur doesn't say nigger every sentence or rape the girls in the camp the game is wokeThere are valid points to be made. People get a bit spergy but people at rockstart themselves said that it was supposed to speak to politics of the modern day "eliptically". This video on it is pretty good. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FuVF9wVklvMI wouldn't go as far as to call the game "woke", but it's maybe not wrong to. It isn't clown shoes level like trans disabled bipoc indians, but it is certainly in concordance with a certain, consensus I guess you could say.
>>719398286No joke. That game still looks absolutely beautiful to this day. Aged in many ways, and not the most colorful, but it looks really nice. Masyaf is beautiful.

>>719410707>incoherent rambling nonsense trying to sound smartAs I said, fuck nvidia. There was no excuse to render water with no LOD under every crysis 2 map or overtesselate the fuck out of everything with no visual benefit.
>>719398591no
>>719396823
>
I never saw another game doing that.
>>719411262>incoherent rambling nonsense trying to sound smartno, anon, I actually know what I'm talking about and it's not my fault that you don't.>overtesselate the fuck out of everything with no visual benefitthis might have been a dirty trick sponsored by nvidia. unlike the water thing. another clarification:>water with no LODtesselation literally is a form of LOD. you let the GPU generate more triangles closer to the camera. in some ways it's the perfect form of LOD, a seamless decrease in resolution over distance. but of course if the resolution chosen is uniformly too high that's going to handicap whatever GPU is weaker at tesselation. and if that was AMD's GPUs at the time and nvidia was a sponsor for Crysis 2 then it is suspicious, and predictable as Crytek always did shady shit like this.Crysis 2 at launch ran very well on AMD GPUs by the way, I was playing it on a 5850. it was only the DX11 update around a year after launch that introduced tesselation. the launch version ran on DX9. tesselation only existed since DX10 so it's 100% confirmed that launch Crysis 2 had no tesselation.
>>719411775*unlike the water UNDER THE MAP thingto be specificnot culling the water was NOT part of some conspiracy. and as far as the pixel shader was concerned the water WAS culled any way, by depth.
Anyone got that webm of Metroid Prime lake verts?
>>719410260Ah, you're being retarded on purpose, gotcha.
>>719397264that's just retarded, the whole thing should crack
>>719409960PhysX was neat, but there was nothing it could do that later versions of Havok couldn't - the thing is that at the time (2009-2015ish), CPU's were barely using more than one thread for games, or anything really, and Intel was still cruising off of single-threaded performance, so for an extemely CPU-based physics solution to produce Nvidia results, that's a lot of load on the CPU when you also want it to do game shit. Turning the Geforce into a PPU was seen as a way to free the CPU for vidya stuff while the GPU had it's own physics solution, assuming your Geforce had a 70 or 80 in it's nameThe fact it was proprietary meant that affected games unfortunately had ultra basic CPU-PhysX if they were on an AMD card, so it was kinda bullshit for actual aesthetics to be vendor locked, and I consider all of the Batman games with full-PhysX on to be worth using an Nvidia card on them, assuming it isn't a 5000-series lmao. AMD/ATI was also still competent then, so a lot of people were voluntarily buying Radeons and missing a cool experience. Were I to point to PhysX's biggest bullshit, it's probably this, that and being x87The most retarded thing is that a Cuda-to-OpenCL wrapper could've easily given AMD access to PhysX too, and one was in development by the guy who made the hybrid PhysX mod as a stopgap for AMD citizens that wanted to slap an eBay 8800GT alongside their Radeon to make it work like an Ageia card. Nvidia was all for the idea, AMD wasn't, and after an extremely private beta Regeneration dropped off the face of the earth, possibly bought-out or C&D'd by AMD, as they've done this to a couple other modders in the pasthttps://web.archive.org/web/20160323093516/http://www.ngohq.com/news/14254-physx-gpu-acceleration-on-radeon-update.htmlHilbert (Guru3d) once saw him online in the mod CP years later and PM'd him 'hey where the fuck have you been?' and never got a response, shit sucks
>>719398080Looks cool but crysis is such a dogshit game
is physx still a thing
>>719412135t. Son Yun Peng
>>719412365It's discontinued. Modern graphic cards don't support it at all.
>>719412365The 5000-series hardware doesn't support it and dumps it right on the CPU, and no games have been using GPU-accelerated PhysX as a gimmick for a while. I know they open-sourced the important PhysX shit so the consumer can attempt to fix it, but I have no idea if it's happened yet
>>719412365physx is obsolete, chud
>>719396493physx isn't lostjewvidia just stopped paying developers to implement it since it was prone to crashes
>>719412532contextCome to think of it, there's always these gpus that used to be extremely good, like the 8800GT, the gtx280, I lost count for a while, the gtx 980 was good... Noawadays we're getting mostly shit, what was the last GPU that felt like it was THE gaming gpu?
>>719412489>Modern graphic cards don't support it at all.Only 32-bit support got dropped on the 5000 series. Why is this board full of so many tech illiterates?
>>719412791probably GTX1080Ti, that doesn't mean the latest high end GPUs are shit, they're just expensive
>>719412791context - the new gpus don't support physx and it runs on CPU.
>>719412851>Only 32-bit supportThat's pretty much what every PhysX-enabled game worth playing is compiled for
>errrrrm it's a FAKE mirror it's not a REAL reflection!...so?
>>719412552>jewvidia just stopped paying developers to implement it since it has a new marketing gimmickCorrected that for you.
>>719412851>Only 32-bit support got dropped on the 5000 seriesSo, every physx game?
>>719406263It's okay, the water is used a ton in it at least
>>719413083
>>719405732there was suppose to be a section like this in mgs2. i still think about every now and then.
>>719396823really people call me overreactive but its the small details like this that prove videogames are dead and there are no good programmers anymore.
>>719405732i remember this game being in dev hell for years. Their water physics tech was amazing though and even more impressive in their tech demos way before the game came out.
>>719413606I fucking love smoke and mirrors bullshit like this. It takes an intelligent person to come up with these kinds of solutions instead of just throwing processing power at a problem. Like the entire floor in night maps in THPS being transparent and all the light reflections are just lights under the map.
>>719413606holy shit, that's cool but why?
>>719413943
>>719413943Same reason they did it in Duke Nukem. Programming actual mirrors is super fucking hard and can also be incredibly resource intensive, especially in those days (this game is 13 years old). So you just make another area to create the illusion of a reflection. It's easy to dev and resource effective. Especially in TTTWD because it's all fixed camera angles anyway.
>>719411972no, your point is dumb.
>>719405485top laff
>>719414149No, your reading comprehension is too low. When one character is made to be realistic and the other is cartoonishly unrealistic, it ruins the narrative trying to be told.
>>719413378i replayed the base campaign a while back on PC and absolutely loved it all over again.I really should do the same for the DLC stories
>>719413063>That's pretty muchYou said modern cards don't support it at all. Stop backpedaling.
>>719406049>and it's likely not really simulating liquid
>>719413725>and there are no good programmers anymore.This much is true for sure. Especially with some of the old guard unironically calling for newcomers to use AI to assist their coding endeavors, instead of actually knowing what the fuck they're doing first before they touch AI shit.
>>719413943because the rearview mirror is a focal point of the scene and it needed to look crisp. doing some bullshit reflection coding would look worse
>>719414582Anyone who uses AI properly already knows what they're doing and just uses it to speed a lot of things up.

>>719404459im just jealous of this guy's passion and willingness to make something so high quality vore and disgusting shit aside
>>719416087Because it's an easy cash grab. The whole game has half a dozen assets, you could remaster it over night with the right people. But you're right, it's not a game that's improved significantly by better graphics.

>>719419275>>719414576Nevermind I should have said "emulating". Yes it's simulating. That's not as impressive as there being a system with actually flowing particles.
>>719413943If they wanted an actual reflection, they'd need processing power and also a lot of time and finnicking to make sure the reflection actually works and the player sees the slice of the sheriff they want you to see. The reflection itself would be worthless if it didn't show the cop's reaction to your answers or where he's looking as he's driving/when he crashes.Instead they can show you exactly what they want you to see with no fuss with just a bit of finesse.

>>719421352>I can't wait for raytracing, upscaling and frame-gen to join the graveyard of garbagecan technologiesRaytracing won't. Raytracing is a staple of all 3D rendering (except videogames up until a few years ago) and has been a desired goal since 3D became a thing. Raytracing will be a mainstay.As for upscaling and framegen, it's hard to say. Frame gen might die, I think upscaling will always live on because the higher res you are the better upscaling is. If we assume in the future that we'll move to 4k and 8k, upscaling will only become more prominent.

>>719417461Did a fromdrone rape you or something
>>719426675Did someone who wasn't completely ignorant about games rape your or something?
>>719398286I like how you can always find your way by looking at the signs and listening to what others tell you
>>719409089>Arther is the most soft willed man in the time period, being ok with women voting and hating eugenicsHe would've hardly been alone in that. Ironically, when people complain about "anachronisms" in RDR2, it usually because their vision of the past is coloured by later media depictions of the West and not actual history.

>>719398237>It's like everyone collectively stopped trying.They leaved industry lol. Modern game dev industry is full of newbies who jump from studio to studio on contracts. Talented designers and engineers simply fucked off after seeing writing on the wall in 2014 and later. Go look up how old are people responsible for priopertiary engines in Sony Santa Monica and other studios. Reminder that Frostbite engine team at EA makes more than management inside these studios because EA was that desperate to keep those people in.
>>719405732More games need cool water physics
>>719426767Definitely not, but you let fromdrones free agency in your mind so it seems a fromdrone did rape you.Sad to see.
>>719416087Why do modern games always look washed out? like RAW footage where it's completely flat waiting for the color correction guy to do his magic
>>719418073You can't just say this and not name the game
>>719427832>ESLfag>FromdroneOpinion invalidated
>>719402214Just from looking at this image for 0.5 seconds I can already see the ugly sharpness setting, you actually need to have shit eyesight to tolerate this
>>719396493>>719398080>>719405724>>719405732>>719420567>>719396823>lost technologiesThese are not lost technologiesWhite people are behind all these game engines and technologies. White people left the industry or retired. The people who replaced them simply cannot operate on the same level, can't maintain the engine (see CD Projekt RED), can't replicate it and are incapable of understanding the engineering behind that made all this possible even on hardware several times weaker than what we have now.This is the reason why Unreal Engine become so prevalent. Indians, chineses, women and diversity hired individuals need a "the sims" like game engine to be able to build a game (a house). This being just an analogy.

>>719399239Anon, you know you can watch the flights live in person, right? A lot of people do.
>>719399474Makes me think of 3DS, when you move the top screen.
>>719396493Aren’t the newest nvidia cards removing the phyx stuff
>>719396823Outsourced to a China team btw
actual city sized cities
>>719421964I really fw how id tech 4 looks
>>719411002im playing it rn and it certanily seems like some days the writers would see something on tv or the interent (post 2016) and would have an episode, and put something in the game, maybe write a few lines or make a certain decivision for no reason.
>>719400890How do you counter this, considering water canon doesn't do shit because the other side is immediately blinded?
>>719400987yoooooooo
>>719433008Less than lethal munitions.
>>719418924That's what art in general is, an illusion of 3D on 2D paper
>>719404459https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eGCqRDqPGPU i'm sorry is this really needing to be made and for who?
>>719397264>add leaking effect>resize the water block down to where the crack isIt’s not a groundbreaking technology, anon. The devs are just lazy these days
>>719399141cattle mindset
>>719402214>>719402556BF6 looks like dogshit.
>>719432169but that's not a video game.
>>719396823I don't get it, this change doesn't even make sense. It's a fucking gym, of course there's have to be mirror.
>>719396493If physx was invented today /v/ would call it a scam and say it looks worse and that it's never ever worth the framerate cost
>>719436352Mirror's closed due to AIDS
>>719404459legit just take this game and remove all the porn, it'd be a 10/10 nightmare fuel game.
>>719399253Its fucking weird how there arent explanation of Starfield's citizens and his stares.
>>719436352it looks like it'd be on the wall of a restaurant that serves shitty truffle fries
>>719403060Its the same with adopting any new technology. If everyone thought like you we would have never has 3d in games. Almost all games on n64/ps1 ran at 20fps. Final fantasy 7 literally has a 15 fps framecap in all battles
>>719396823MT Framework was an incredible engine.
>>719416547Can't you do that a million times cheaper with simple if/and statements?
>>719397264Okay but how does this affect your gameplay personally?
>>719402461Another proof that retards know nothing about game engines
>>719433008rubber bulletsspray and praystun grenades work as long as the retard protesters don't try to kick them back or throw them back. I still vividly remember that one retard that tried to trow a stun grenade back and it blew his hand back in the early 2000s
>>719406049>likely not really simulating liquid.It doesn't matter what it's "really" doing. The resultant effect is all that matters to the player, and to the player it looks like the tank is draining of water down to where the bullet hole is.
>>719398591Examples, because last time I played and quit pre-Aliens cause only part of the game is actually good, its pretty normal. Lot of its just cheap 2D effects but dense to hide the ugly quality. Like god damn do you not remember how dogshit the rock textures or character models are? Pure 2007 stuff.
>>719422189Glass does not solely come in "explodes into pieces when you tap it" consistencies.
>>719416760>>719426352Nah must be the engine's fault
>>719396493arent those just GPU particles, those are still around
>>719408726lol you got BTFO
>>719415885Why would an Indian program a train to kill you?Why would an Indian think standing in front of train kills you?
>>719400890>Attack of the Clones (2002).webm
>>719398470Nice.And even the shadows are being reasonably drawn at that distance. It pisses me right the fuck off when I'm playing an open-world game, and locations look completely flat and unnatural from afar because the shadows are not being drawn in.
>>719396493>messy particle effectHonestly distracting>>719396823>mirrorsFor some reason even 5th gen games could (pretend) to do this and yet today...
>>719417512Empire Earth
>>719406263It's just water.
>>719416087is this a joke?
>>719423158I got a Creative card for this shit right as Microsoft killed DirectSound hardware acceleration with Vista/7.
>>719408786I think as a simulation it is extremely impressive, detailed and complete, but that this doesn't necessarily make it the most fun game to actually play.
>>719438720That's not lost (well, most things ITT aren't), a lot of companies are just kidna lazy about this kind of thing.
>>719438861Without a real gameplay reason for it, its also not worth it when 99% of people aren't noticing or caring. Do people in MGSV limp like MGS2, its been 10 years but I honestly don't remember the AI reinforcements clearing rooms like MGS2 nor having some of the more nuanced interactions like limping.
>>719413083Some retards think of video games completely backwards and are bizarrely overconcerned with what is "actually" happening technically compared to what is being presented on screen. And worse, that it only matters if it's some sort of "real" simulation under the hood. There's no real, all games are just fakery to entertain a player. What's being presented is what should always matter most to the player, and whether or not it is convincing. If it is, then it works. That's it.
>>719416851>sees magic trick>"Wow that's so SHITTY! It must be the poos who did it! Why didn't you just use raytracing to make the mirror reflect the person and the scene???"Anon?
>>719438861So it's lost. On purpose.
>>719439534It's still around. Many games since have featured these things. You won't find it in cawadooty probably, but they are there.
>>719402461retard
>>719437853Behavioral trees, fuzzy logic, if-else trees, etc, yeah. Not exactly a problem you need true AI for.Usually the main thing to solve is to construct the behavior in a way that it doesn't seem like the boss has extremely canned behaviors (always does x when y), or that it doesn't look like the boss is input reading (reacts instantly to a button being pressed by the player). Then again, plenty games use extremely gameistic boss patterns, so it's not like it's an entirely undesired outcome, just depends on the game design.
>>719399506>rapes your framerate>needs new car-wait a minute...
>>719401878>DLSS is fake resolutionnot all dlss is the same you stupid bitch
>>719396823This is an ape brained addition, that wasn't a reflection, it was the room rendered twice and one playing the animations backwards, this can't be done on a modern game because the particle effects wouldn't be rendered twice and would look bad
>>719411748because gamers dont actually give a fuck
>>719398237This is extremely reductive but the answer is basically until the 2010s computers weren't understood well enough by the bean counters to be stripped of all excess and brought down to minimum viable product. The engineers and artists were able to control some degree of quality. Same thing with VFX, we have those amazing Pirates of the Caribbean clips and then a few years later Marvel movies look like cartoons.
>>719433227>2Dnothing is 2deverything is made of 3d particleseven photons(scientists say photons are 2d but i think thats fucking bullshit)
>>719439364fuck off
>>719398286hahahahaha
>>719411442My nigga. Playing that as a kid was the hottest shit. Felt so cool just lobbing missiles across the desktop.
>>719398080
Haven't thought about it since the ps3/early 4 era.Is bloom still used in games? Did tech advance enough + everyone simply get sick of the effect? I imagine raytracing tech killed it fully but my memory is fuzzy.
>>719396823KEK putting the downgraded Wii port at the end was the cherry on top
>>719398692in actuality it's probably just a view box with a clone model tied to your character when you're in view of the mirror
>>719396493PhysX is still used in many modern game engines like Unity
>>719442964Broke: Modelling light paths to simulate reflectionsBespoke: Just make a man in the mirror, lol
>>719412791>what was the last GPU that felt like it was THE gaming gpu?Is this even a question? 4090.
>>719412791>what was the last GPU that felt like it was THE gaming gpu?bro what? where have you been it was the 4090 and it wasn't even close1080 TI before that
>>719396823embarrassing holy kek
>>719427519I fucking loved From Dust. Now that was a great game.
>>719423032>it wasn't made using Live2D>it used caveman Live2Dno difference
>>719437231>remove all the pornJust genderbend the entire cast and it stops being porn.

>>719415885>people paid $100 + tip for this fucking garbage
>>719438423Indians have a whole thing about being crushed to death IIRC
>>719415885With physics like that, did they even include the insurance fraud minigame?
>>719415885>hatersgonnahate.gif
which game has the best police AI? i liked the one in watch dogs where a civilian actually has to call the police instead of police coming to hunt you down if you kill someone in the middle of no where
>>719396493>every town NPC has a schedule and interact with each other>can watch the innkeeper grab flour and water, make bread dough, put the bread dough in the oven and see it bake>innkeeper will also prepare the table place settings every morning>NPCs will come into the inn and order food, be served the correct thing, and you can watch them eat their meal>Ultima VII came out in 1992
>>719446702Oblivion does all of that
>>719416008They put a fucking dodge in Silent Hill?
>>719447291>Oblivion does a half assed version of thatftfy
>>719447391which is more than 90% of games even attempt now
>>719409089>>Sadie is a histrionic girl boss that cant do anything wrongThe game is very clear Sadie is miserable, and going to be a bounty hunter until she can't or it kills her.
>>719447902She also gets innocent people killed and risks the life of the gang multiple times but no one gives a shit because its "just Sadie teehee"
Since this game released we have never seen nor will ever see environmental destruction done this well ever againhttps://youtu.be/eXmKlVZmvRg?feature=shared
