WOW PS2 HAD RAY TRACING?
>>719556327Even pentiums from 1998 had ray tracing...
>>719556327RE4 was a Gamecube game, Snoygger.
>>719556327Who the hell even use the Mine Thrower?
>>719558346re4 is a ps2 game cubie, you trannies almost bankrupt capcom by refusing to purchase mikami's mangum opus
The technology just isnt there yet...
>>719556327>>719557303Back when devs were white or Japanese and knew how to code
>>719559019PS2 got THE shittiest PORT of RE4.It's 100% Crapcom's and Mikami's fault that they did a shitty business deal with Nintendo in the early 2000s, literally alienating their core fanbase and target audience from the best games in their series.
>>719559225>no letterboxed>more weapons>more customes>extra campaign>scarier sound>not forced to use the abominable shitcube controllernot, still better than the shitcube which is why it doubled the cubie sales and is remembered as a ps2 classic unlike the shitcube which is remembered only for smelee and trannies lol
>>719558781Kys you piece of shit. Mine Thrower is one of the best guns in the game and only high IQ people know how to use it and when to use it.
Cool it with the anti Indian posting SAAAARRRR.
>>719559334>less enemies on screen at a timeOH NO NO NO.I will say I prefer the weapon balance values on the PS2 and Wii versions compared to the GC version.
is indian the literal worst race on earth?
>>719559682> I prefer the weapon balance values on the PS2 and Wii versions compared to the GC versionwhat? GC version has different weapon status?
>>719556327>>719557303That's just the same room duplicated underneath
>>719559831Yes. The knife was weak as shit. Handguns had less maximum firepower. The kino bolt action rifle maxed out at 18 firepower (making it strictly worse than the semi in almost every way) as opposed to the 30 firepower it can have in all other ports (basically a cheaper magnum with more abundant ammo and can kill Salazar in 8 shots)
>>719556327Games in 1995 had it too
>>719559225but it had new stuff added to the game.
>>719559831The PAL GC version got the stat adjustments like >>719560183 said and that carried forward to all the versions that were released afterwards.
>>719560750That's just a mirror
>>719558781It's like free grenades

>>719556327qrd on ray tracing? anti aliasing?
>>719559225which version is the best to play? would it be the newest remaster with the re4 hd restoration mod?
without RTX we could unironically be playing games with disgusting looking graphics and great lightning made by artists at 8k >lol lmao said the jew
lost technology pls understand
>>719564257The OG Gamecube is since all the other ports fuck with the gameplay in some way.
>>719556327DAS RITE!!WE WUZ DA TRUE RAYTRACERSPS2 HAD RAYTRACING!DAS RITE!!!!DA MAN DOESN'T WANT YOU TO KNOW DISreal answer: it's precisely the fact that we weren't close to ray-tracing that allowed developers to make mirrors that actually worked. they weren't paid off by nvidia to shill ray-tracing effects.
>>719568146lul no they don't you dumb faggot>b-but this heckin knife balance i never once gave a shit about until i read it on a wiki 2 months agono one cares
>>719564257Any release after and including the Wii one has all the content without the reduced enemy counts and pre-rendered cutscenes the PS2 version had. I always just play the PC re-release with re4tweaks nowadays.
>>719568730The knife balance that was only on the NTSC version when Capcom used to fuck up US releases to spite rentals.

>>719569495because everything used to be flat you dumbass nothing is flat anymore today
>>719569938you gotta dial your baits down, man. if you write something that retarded, no one's gonna fall for it
>>719559951No, it's a planar reflection.Cheap technique if you're using forward rendering.Extremely expensive technique if you're using deferred rendering.
>>719569678it's literally closer to ground truth than ray-tracing in its current real-time form. if it was ray-tracing it would be noisy, blurry and the geometry reflected would probably not even be a 100% match to the original geometry. for a flat ground planar reflections are superior to ray-tracing. they can give you visually flawless results.ray-tracing is a method of approximating real light. it's not real photon physics. it's not ground truth, just very close when using infinite samples.
If Ray Tracing had 0 FPS cost, everyone would be calling it the best thing ever. People only get upset because it runs bad on shit GPUs, specially AMD GPUs.

>>719556327I hate knowing how games work. I hate knowing this is just the same room mirrored 1:1 upside down and the floor is semi-transparent to make it "look" like it's reflecting.
>>719559138old games did reflections, shininess and lighting much better than modern raytraced slop that cuts your framerate in half and needs AI fake pixels to generate fake frames to make up for it. The graphics industry is in a competency crisis
>>719557303What fucking game holy moly
Technology has regressed so much
>>719577109>Why does the gamecube one look so green?It's not.And you're asking the wrong question.You know why PS2 one is so RED and BROWN?Because the devs had to DOWNGRADE most textures into 4 or even to 2-bit colors to make 'em run on Piss2, and then used vertex colors and scene lighting to dye them.>>719577272One of the corridors leading to the Labs where Regenerators appear.
>>719578016>One of the corridors leading to the Labs where Regenerators appear.Huh. I just replayed it and your screencap didn't look familiar.
>>719577881Unreal
>>719578016Sounds like NIntendron3 propaganda to me. The PS2 had the best looking games.
this is not raytracing. Its a mirrored level transposed under a opaque surface to look like reflections. It was possible back then because low polygon counts. Try this today on cyberpunk and mirror the chunk youre standing in and enjoy the 3fps with a 5090
Ps2 didn’t even have anti aliasing..
>>719558781You know whats weird is I always forget that exists in resident evil 4. I’ve beaten the game like 10 times but I’ve never used it except for once or twice to mess around and every time I just turn the game off to undue the purchase and get something else. Just takes up space in your inventory and doesnt have enough ammo.
>>719559019Capcom has almost bankrupted themselves by making bad game for the last decade+ one of the last good games they have made was dead rising 1 and lost planet 1 look where those franchises ended up?
>>719578016No it's literally more green, earthy textures are supposed to be browns and oranges and red not snot green. It's due to the texture compression on cube. Everything on the console suffers from a green push due to their implementation of S3TC. PS2's paletted textures allow for no compression of textures. Since you seem to be highly offended just know I'm not looking to attack you or your favorite console only to explain why GC games look the way they do.You can learn more about it here:http://ixbtlabs.com/articles/reviews3tcfxt1/
>>719559225Ps2 had good games on it but it was thr NPC console of that generation and I also consider the apple game store of that generation with the astronomical amount of low quality shovelware titles it had. In order to find anything good tou needed to sort through exponentially more bad shit tier games to find the good ones. Still had a lot of good ones but I cant imagine the amount of people who got burned buying low quality crap that got churned out for that console. And any game I bought that I enjoyed for the ps2 I always knew would have looked way better on the Xbox or GameCube.
>>719579942Nope. PS2 was literally the weakest console of its generation, with some notable hardware shortcomings.Meanwhile, GC had IBM processor and Ati Radeon GPU, capable of some pretty neat for the time pixel shader and screen filter effects.>>719580497I think you got some problem with your screen calibration. Or you're taking a 18 years old JPEG's colors with face value.Also, you clearly haven't been to European forest.>Since you seem to be highly offendedI am not. Make no mistake about that.Simply delivering the same data we already went through nearly two decades ago, and literally got some very detailed information from the DEVS themselves back in 2005, when the port was being worked on.The bottom line is: most textures had to be not only down-sized and sampled the fuck out for the PS2, but also essentially turned into grayscale, removing a lot of the hues the GC original had.
>>719580805>PS2 was literally the weakest console of its generation, with some notable hardware shortcomings.nta Isn't this pretty well known? The Xbox and Gamecube were pretty powerful consoles for their time.
>>719557303first unreal had a campaign?
>>719580978Yes, it was pretty good too.
>>719580953>nta Isn't this pretty well known?Not at all.Two decades of PS offering arguably the strongest hardware and Nintendo the weakest has warped the late-zoom zooms' and GenA toddler's perception of the power balance.PS2 being the best selling gaming system for many many years also seems to play a big part in the head-narrative. iPhone folks generally don't study specs too often.
>>719580805Has nothing to do with the screen type (although certain color temperatures will exaggerate the tint.) GC's texture compression is largely a good thing, however the greenish colors across all surfaces due to the compression is a reality for the console. RE4 is no exception.
>>719580978First Unreal IS a single-player campaign.
>>719568146I enjoyed the Wii version a lot and it’s one of the only reasons I would consider owning a Wii. I understand that people say that it makes the game easier aiming with the wiimote, but it had some of the appeal of an arcade game where you physically interact with the game which I appreciated and enjoyed a lot. I never bought a Kinect or anything because all of those games were dogshit but for some reason re4 on Wii “just worked”.
>>719564257If you want the original experience at it's best the gamecube version, if you want extra content the ps2 version, other than that the ultimate hd edition with the fan remaster is the best overall option
Why did we ever move to deferred rendering? Anyone know?I haven't seen a single benefit from this shift in graphics programming. Games from 2000s-2010s look way better than most of the shit we get today.
>>719581103It kinda sucks. Music is good at least.
so much for gaytracing, physx was a much more impressive effect even today and nvidia is not using this shit in games anymore
>>719564257PC with mods obviously.
>>719556327The incompetent clique where you need to be a cocksucker to become a gamedev leads to the total regression in the industry.
>>719556327Why is the re4hd site invisible in google search?
>>719581271Shader centric graphics, deferred renderers allow for things like more light sources, creates more control for different types of artists (environment, atmospheric, lighting, etc.) Forward rendering has its strengths but as game development grew and more people became involved and technology developed the way games were rasterized had to be changed. Deferred *is* why mirrors disappeared from so many games. It became extremely difficult to set up environments that would run well and look correct. Lots of the old "cheats" forward rendering allowed no longer worked.
>>719581164>>719580805I'm reading the specs and it just can't be that the GC is more powerful than the PS2. PS2 has more shaders and like 40x more bandwidth. RE4 is just a bad port. PS2 had the best looking games.
>>719581271>Why did we ever move to deferred rendering? Anyone know?Simple:it enabled crazy amounts of dynamic lights, shadows, and other fancy pixel-shader effects to be rendered in real time, with a tiny, tiny fraction of the cost compared to Forward Rendering's counterpart.I was an intern at this local game studio back in 2010, when Unity implemented deferred rendering with the release of version 3. The performance boost was INSANE. The 7th gen consoles already struggled with 720p in most games, so any extra frames was welcomed with open arms.Games like STALKER SoC actually implemented a DX9 deferred rendering mode already back in 2007, and it's still an amazing looking game for its time. The indoor areas are borderline photorealistic at times, with the heavy use of steep bump maps making things look very "3D", while outside the mood is very dream-like atmospheric, with every light source casting shadows out of everything, on top of everything.Yes, Deferred Rendering did bring a pack of its own issues, such as essentially breaking the Multi-sampling Anti-aliasing and simple transparency effects (both which have been solved years ago, BTW), and there would be the choice of using the Forward+ implementations that provide best of both worlds... but sadly, deferred became the standard, and standards are slooow to change. Funfact: even UE5 allows switching to fully Forward Rendered mode, and the performance boost on modern HW is insane.
Old games don't have real mirrors. It's just another room where outsourced chinese NPCs are hiding and perfectly mimicking your movements.
>>719564257Oculus Quest 2
>>719570057What benefits has deferred rendering gotten us? Seems like a lot of bullshit we have to put up with over it.
>>719581796>both which have been solved years ago, BTWhow? and why aren't the solutions implemented?
>>719581751>PS2 has more shadersIt doesn't.That's the whole thing: all the special effects people take for granted had to be hard-coded or faked on PS2. Meanwhile, Xbox and GC literally allowed D3D / OGL pixel shaders to be used, from Normalmapping to planar textures.>PS2 had the best looking games.PS2 always had the worst looking multiplats, and generally had the most aged looks of the bunch. Compare Max Payne 1-2 on PS2 to Xbox, or any FPS to Halo 2.Hell, Xbox OG even had Doom 3 and Half-Life 2.No, this does not mean that PS2 would not had great looking games.But all of them were meticulously hand-crafted, and often small in scale.
>>719559019>you trannies almost bankrupt capcom by refusing to purchase mikami's mangum opusMikami was a retard for moving to a console that most of the fanbase of his series didn't have
>>719578016>2bit colorslel
>>719581819>devs are now so lazy they can't even bother copy pasting rooms and have to rely on Nvidia scams to do it for themIt's all so tiresome.
>>719582060PS2 could brute force all effects Nintendo had a fixed pipeline for, and Microsoft had early shader models for. They even made render farm hardware explicitly for this purpose. I always enjoyed the visuals in the Sam Raimi Spider-Man films.>PS2 always had the worst looking multiplatsIncorrect. It varies from game to game, but most games are worst on GC. Not sure why exactly, but it doesn't paint a positive picture of it.GC was a very limited console. It had a fix function TEV pipeline which made it very difficult to achieve certain effects, while others would be trivial. It had to be something available in that library, if you wanted to do something that wasn't supported you're doing it in software and running things in software on the Cube is slower than any of its contemporaries.

>>719556327WOW YOU'RE POOR?
>>7195770571. we can't even afford ray-tracing 1spp yet really2. we don't actually know how photons work down to the last quantum wave whatever the fuck detail so if you attempted this with existing physics knowledge there's a good chance you would get it wrong any way.
>>719581986>how? and why aren't the solutions implemented?MSAA you could already force on Def.Renderer games on DX10 hardware, through Nvidia control panel. The main reason people still didn't implement it was because of the quite significant performance hit, further exaggerated by the constantly increasing playing resolutions and polycount of models. MSAA also by default couldn't touch the NEW visual artifacts, such as shader noise, shimmering and texture jaggies. Thus, the focus shifted to the Post-Processing AA methods (FXAA, TAA...), that quickly process the entire already rendered image, nuking most if not all jaggies and dither with a single, fast pass.Transparency can be implemented exactly the same way as it was done years prior:Handle it on a separated pass. It can actually be more performant than on Forward renderer, as you can limit the secondary rendering to only those assets that need it. You can also down-sample, simplify and otherwise process the image "behind" the smoother transparency.But again, all these can co-exist with smart design.See : Any CroEngine 3-4 game, Source 2, Frostbite engine.>>719581905See : >>719581796Many games simply would not run as well, or would not look quite as good out of the box without Deferred Rendering, and / or hybrid solutions.But we are in a curious moment in time where the simple artistic choices and optimizations the older Forward Rendering games demanded make them not only visually more pleasing (more stable image, less filters and shit), while also running far superior to the contemporaries.Going from the last hurrah of Forward Rendering games with Yakuza 0 and Kiwami 1, to the SEGA's first real Def.Rend. clusterfuck with Dragon Engine, is a great example of this.

>>719582808Wonderful read, thank you for writing this. What I don't understand is why choose temporal methods for AA? Many games have incredibly "dense" scenes, insane poly counts, texture resolutions among other things, it's a lot to go over. Though we have strayed away from the arena shooter/linear maps in favour of open worlds, I don't get why many things can't be baked, we don't have games with insane environment destruction and many moving lights which would be a problem since they are realtime.

>>719582359I've noticed that some special effects tend to be entirely missing when it comes to gamecube ports, one of the true crime games comes to mind
This thread getting made constantly doesn't give normal people a good impression of poors.
>>719588265nta but the fundamental problem is how do you get subpixel data? aliasing is caused by a lack of subpixel data.you can either render more than one sample per pixel like MSAA did (doesn't cover pixel shader aliasing), or like SSAA would (flawless but too expensive) or you can collect samples over time (TAA). out of these three options SSAA is immediately disqualified because it will never be cheap enough for anything but emulators and "retro" looking titles. so MSAA is really our only hope to get rid of TAA.a roided up MSAA that's closer to SSAA in results would also cost more, and we saw this in some attempts to bring MSAA into deferred rendering in the early 2010s. this route was tried and simply did not pan out. as far as the mainstream of the industry is concerned this was the death of MSAA. it's what convinced the big studios, engine makers and GPU manufacturers that TAA was inevitable.the only alternative the "rebels" can put any hope in are better ways to PREVENT aliasing in the pixel shader, so basically the idea of making each shader effect a little more costly but getting the aliasing down to a level where either a non-aggressive post-AA can deal with the rest or you don't need any post-AA at all. freeing ourselves from the TAA menace is an unsolved problem that few studios are looking into. the latest setback for a future without TAA was the failure of VR. in a world where VR succeeded lots of devs would be working on this problem and it would be solved by now.

>>719590753forced "innovation" and an excuse for higher ups to make devs skip adding actual atmosphere to their game by just having them slap rt on
>>719556327nortubel 2 needs raytracing
>>719589265Both of the True Crime games are bad for it. LA just looks like a flat shaded game it's kind of wild. NY is possibly the worst port of the generation. It's as bad as the gamecube kids pretend RE4 is on PS2, but it's actually that bad.
>>719564257i emulate the wii version because it's piss easy to do so
>>719585905It's not just youtube and google, they use up so much AI the US power infrastructure can't cope with the load of jeets and other third worlders genning trillions of blonde bimbo BBC cuck porn for them. My state is thinking of opening up the nuclear plant that nearly had it's own Chernobyl event
>>719577441you retards are just unaware of what raytracing is its made for realistic lighting saying reflections = raytracing even jokingly shows you have no clue what your talking about
>>719564257Currently available PC version is good and can be modded with hd textures and shit. The Wii version is also fun and works VERY well with the wiimote
>>719591272>Think of how much you're hurting nvidia's share prices when you say PS2 does RTXkek I do
>>719589908A lot of people argue that the best-case scenario would be to run games natively at 4K with no need for AA at all. Frame gen technologies constantly seem to be pushed and maybe their inclination is not without merit, only time will tell. Thanks for your insight.
>>719590753the 2 room thing is not really practicable for more than the stereotypical bathroom gimmick scene.planar reflections aka the two camera thing is the real solution, but it only works for one or maybe two flat surfaces at a time before it becomes way too expensive. basically what Portal does, except for a mirror instead of a portal. same fundamental idea.raytracing is simulating light, but backwards, so you send rays out of the camera and see what they hit. depending on the result you then send more rays out from that thing you hit, or if you hit nothing you draw the skybox. for one or four pixels on screen you'll send out one ray typically, but that one ray can then split into a bunch of rays depending on what you hit and which effects you want. RT is always super expensive and for it to actually not look like shit it needs to be even more expensive. most games with RT effects now are kind of "fake RT" because they still have for example traditional shadowmaps and only the reflections are ray-traced. so the bounced ray from your mirror or water surface goes on to hit some building and rather than doing more ray-tracing from there to find out if it's in shadow for example you just read from the shadowmap. you can call this hybrid ray-tracing. when a game doesn't cut corners in this manner it's called path-tracing and it's too expensive to run on the best PC in the world, see Cyberpunk 2077 copers relying on fake frames to pretend it's playable.
>>719591335>I'm hurting Nvidia>they're not dominating the GPU industry>AMD is winning>upgrade from your 3 year old 4090 to a 9070XT today>saar
>>719577109>sharper in every way>retard "HURR Y IS It GREENZ?"
>>719591628It's so green. They should call it the green cube, heh.
>>719591414>run games natively at 4K with no need for AA at allthis simply isn't true. native 4K is the equivalent of 1080p with 4 samples per pixel. even in old games where MSAA works flawlessly 4x is not enough to get a clean image when gaming on a 1080p monitor. the idea that you don't need AA at 4K just isn't true.>Frame genan even worse emperor's new clothes than TAA. frame gen inherently increases input lag so it makes games feel worse. it only looks smoother to somebody who is NOT INTERACTING WITH THE GAME. the actual player of a game will have a better experience with framegen off. no exceptions. there is no way around this. in order to interpolate between frame A and frame B both frames need to already be rendered, yet you're holding them back from being displayed as early as they could be. this is a priori fact, cannot be argued with, cannot be solved by any technology. frame gen is 100% a marketing gimmick and will never be anything else.
>>719591510I dunno man, metro exodus EE does breddy gud and runs pretty well considering that version effectively ditches the old raster lighting from the game entirely.
>>719582359>Not sure why exactly, but it doesn't paint a positive picture of it.cache and disc space, cube has the power but not the spacing. So obviously something made for it like RE4 comes across better than on ps2 compared to true mutiplats made for everyone
>>719591903Crash 4 fit on a CD however
>>719591102I’ve heard the original GameCube version has different difficulty balancing that every other version
>>719559334/threadthanks for beta testing, tendies
it's funny how psniggers are trying to consolefag with the dvd player that couldn't even play monkey ball at 60, get outta here
>>719592081What framerate did the Gamecube play Kingdom Hearts at?
>>719592081>heh you can't play piglets ballpit adventure heh we win snoysoookay
>>719592081PS2 had the highest amount of game running at 60 fps during the 6th generationForza is at 30 fps while GT4 is at 60 fps and looks better
>>719591812good point. Metro Exodus takes advantage of a special case: indirect lighting usually doesn't change much between frames so it can be accumulated over multiple frames. in fact it can be accumulated "forever", leading to effectively infinite samples and therefore flawless quality once the camera has been in the same location for long enough. the only downside of this approach becomes obvious if you open or close a door or turn a lamp on or off. the indirect lighting lags behind the direct lighting. how badly depends on how many samples per second are invested, something the devs have full control over, so it's an extremely scalable effect.by the way, the GI in Metro accumulates its data in world space probes or maps of some sort. it does NOT rely on TAA screenspace shit like Unreal Lumen. so it doesn't suffer ghosting artifacts when you wave a gun across the screen while a door opens for example.unfortunately no other aspect of lighting has this potential to be staggered over time. with shadows and reflections it's always immediately obvious if try to use fewer samples and accumulate over multiple frames.
>>719592081Reminder the shitcube locked shitshine at 30fps when every platformer on ps2 is 60Reminder the shitcube couldn't run Crash at 60fpsReminder the shitcube is too weak to run Burnout 3 lol
>>719591335can you show us on this teddy where nvidia touched you?
>>719592617Right here.
>>719592478damn. and you know criterion weren't shilling for the PS2 because they made the Xbox version look way better.
>>719590313Those never existed, stop lying
>>719592668The PS2 version actually looks a little better.
>>719592882you're blind, buddy. the reflections alone are so much better on Xbox it's not even funny.
>>719592701>it's totes organic how I post the same shit every time this thread gets made (by me)https://arch.b4k.dev/v/search/image/fvf9G_Mnn_kjue0naeQOHg/
>>719592323Somewhat related - particularly for metro - is that I bet HDR really can do wonders when combined with RT. Not just for lmao peak brightness but having more gradual roll off in luminance in shadows and the like. Or for something like cyberpunk to have those fancy reflections be bright when applicable.
>>719569678Fake raytracing doesn't kill real framerates.
>>719590649>but it can'texcept the countless games that did>realistic lightingwe had realistic lighting in HL2 21 years ago just bake it niggers>what it can offershekels for them and stutter for players
>>719592952The effects are all a little better on PS2. Xbox has a more uniform look, but PS2 juuust barely clears it.
>>719593041Show me a curved surface reflecting properly without ray tracing.
>>719593041i knew you were retarded, thanks for the conformation. why do brainlets like you always speak on topics they know nothing about?
Cubies love to shit on the PS2 but forget they get their teeth kicked in by the Xbox.
>>719593615Cube kids really have no ground to stand on. No gaems, no legacy beyond smash troons, no compelling features, no online, the worst controller. I hold everyone else in higher esteem than them. They're below Dreamcast guys, PS2 guys and Xbox guys and PC guys.
>>719593115you are just making shit up. what effects? name one and prove it with a video or screenshot.Xbox verifyably has:- way, way better reflections on cars. you can see the road reflecting in the back of the car in real-time. on PS2 that's barely visible.- better text rendering. the placements over the cars are barely legible on PS2.- better car materials like paints and glass, especially broken glass- very obviously less aliasing- much better tree textures, pic related- game menu runs at 60 fps whereas PS2 menu is 30 fps- more motion blur and anti-aliasing of some sort. obviously there's personal preference involved here but they included these effects because THEY thought it looked better, and only the Xbox could run them at 60 fps.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TMRy6JowZkE
>>719585696And why does every game need more than 4 light sources? How does it benefit fighting games for instance?
>>719592972I don't know what you're on about, but I was actually agreeing with you. I also have this comparison with BioShock Infinite
>>719594212MILFMan I love FEAR
>>719593140Full raytracing with some kind of global illumination will be great when GPUs are fast enough to actually do it without all the AI upscaling and other fakery.
>>719594162we need xbox emulation that doesnt suck
If anyone actually denies that there is a competency crisis in the vidya industry due to DEI and other retarded shit then they are braindead.
>>719594290Man I Love First Encounter Assault Recon, or MILF-EAR, if you like
>>719594454kekI do dread they day we get the Jeet Demake of FEAR that somehow needs 200gbs of hard drive space and a 60 series just to get a flat 30 fps
>>719594367newer Xboxes have backwards compatibility so emulation isn't needed for preservation like with some other consoles. I think that's why Xbox emulation sucks so much. that video is proof: you can play Burnout 3 just fine at a higher resolution, just need an Xbox 360 or better.
>>719594212You weren't agreeing with me, because /v/ isn't one person.
>>719586054no but seriously how did they do this
>>719594638>because /v/ isn't one person.prove it
>>719594638Sorry, Mr. Schizoposter, my bad
>>719594656Mirror texture on the ground maybe?
>>719594592No worries, the AAA industry is pretending that the FPS genre doesn't exist. We're safe for now
>>719580680retard
>>719594656all of this is possible right now, nvidia just isn't paying anyone to force it in every game unlike DLSS and ray-tracing.>>719594752planar reflection. a second camera, just like Half Life 2's water.
>>719594367Just get a real Xbox
>>719594774The only FPS they're pretending doesn't exist is Frames Per Second.

>>719594609>>719594809One day we'll need 360 emulators and Burnout 3 isn't BC on xbone or sexbox
>>719594864really? that's weird.
>>719594864You can start by getting a real Xbox today
Even a shitty Telltale game has ray tracing huh...
Sorry, Gordon. We had a system crash a few hours ago, and I'm just raytracing your scene.
SAaaar

>>719595013Yeah, it's actually based on what model he has.
>>719595046Mod it and learn to maintain it, it's not hard.
Sorry but there's no time for optimization when we are hard at work making dense forests with super realistic atmosphere
>>719591917HIRE!
>>719594837Ha!
>>719594167Because night exists and the night needs many lamps to not appear completely dark.
>>719595097IT IS MODDED. The disc drive doesn't read discs, but running games from the hdd works. Still need to buy some shit to do a hard drive upgrade
>>719592478>le larper quote
How was this possible in 2004?
>>719595138Left is a PsOne (what we called it back then) game. Right is a modern PC game that requires a 5090 and fake frames to get 24fps of cinematic quality.

>>719595305Hey no shame in that. You grew up with nothing but slop so you don't know what taste is.
>>719556327>>719557303Uhh those were actually fake, sweaty. Real reflections are worth the performance hit okay? Now enjoy your fake frames.
Explain calmly how to make this scene without rt or 100 gorrilion man hours (still not possible)Also this is 540p with 4x framegen, everything is moving. "Now show it in motion" or "ghosting slop" are not suitable or relevant responses.This is a random street ingame, no cherry picking
>>719595456>fake frames>doesn't have a card capable of framegenThis, here, is the crux of the 4chan problem: poors.
>>719556327Unreal Engine 5 look's better
>>719595194How does this prove he’s rping
>>719595454That nu-Ratchet footage looks like the game's picking which crate to break so it doesn't have to do too much physics stuff.
>>719556327>>719595525I'll share one bonus picture with nice lens flare and cinematic reflections but don't come asking for more
RE4 PS2 looks like shit. Here's me totally playing it for real at 4k. If you don't believe me, you're a pajeet shill consoomer paypig.
>>719595526she doesnt have any. the cube was a weak ass smelee machine powered by estrogen.
>>719595865Now explain why the Gamecube was bad in English.
lost technology
>>719596040Meanwhile in BF6 you can destroy a wall
>>719596040>aliasing everywherethanks i need to brush my eyes now
>>719595865The cube was the second most powerful machine of the generation. It was just hampered by 3" DVDs reducing the size and quality of the assets (and the fact that nobody trusted Nintendo and wanted to port to it). Emulation proved the PS2 versions had the assets necessary for cranking it up, but was limited by the weak Emotion Engine, reducing the output resolution to shit.
>>719596224Weak genetics
>>719596184hey I can do that too!
back then games used to actually be rendered. tfw you realize you're all playing fake games since like 2013
>>719595684stfu, zoomy
>>719596496>fake picMine was totes real, y'all.
>>719582359What you're describing is the PS2's Emotion Engine which is what allowed for all of the special effects to be possible on the PS2 but not other gamesAnother great example of this is MGS2 with the rain on the Tanker level, the Xbox port doesn't have a good effect there because the effect had to be specially made within the Emotion Engine's design
>>719596642to be possible on the PS2 but not other consoles*
>>719556327Lighting's completely flat, so no. Ray tracing isn't just reflections.
>>719577198This. Only retarded tendiefags claim otherwise.
>>719596717These threads are made daily by one single poorfag with a pre-RTX GPU (or maybe he doesn't even own a PC or console). He doesn't care about truth. He just cares that the grapes are confirmed sour for him.
>>719596040Is Armageddon worth playing?
>>719560750WHO WANT SOME WANG
>>719585696>>719586916
>>719596992I've not played it but reviews from the time painted it as not enough to be red faction 3 or enough to be guerilla 2.
>>719560920It also had a limit of 6 enemies on screen lol
>>719585696>Having more than 4 light sources Only a problem because you're using pixel shaders instead of vertex shaders. Our addiction to pixel shaders is making games run worse and struggle to scale. >>719595179Wrong. You can tune the maximum blackness of rendered textures/vertices manually. Look at how Ocarina of Time, Morrowind, and the old GTA games have seamless day/night cycles despite using no dynamic pixel shaders.
>>719597484Nah, real looking nights and true darkness is literally the coolest thing graphics wise in modern games.
Not bad looking for a PS2 game.
>>719595109DEPLOY THE ANTI SOUL GAS

I just don't fuckin feel like it.But I spose I'll make that my next project.I yanked the capacitor from it already, tho it had already leaked. It didn't seem to damage the board though.

>>719595272>>719595341this fucking guy againkys
>>719595489nothing about this shot requires ray-tracing. if you make the claim that ray-tracing is REQUIRED to render something like this you've got the burden of proof. we had all these features in games without RT.
>>719595489That's just screen space reflection.
>>719599553no, it would require planar reflection since it's showing stuff from off screen. but you definitely don't need RT for it.
>>719556327Should I play this game with controller or mouse and keyboard
>>719556327these always look like shit in motion
>>719594992>>719595058I still can’t believe the trannies on the dev team for the reboot had the audacity to talk shit about the old games when this crap is what they had coming up. Next level hubris.
>>719582359That game is dogshit on every platform. By a developer who exclusively made shit games for decades before being sent to the LEGO shovelware mines.
>>719599553>>719599457I was thinking more about the lighting>>719599317cope and seethe
>>719582657>PS2 however does it at 60fps.ZoE2 has slowdown out the ass. The penultimate mission is in slowmotion.
>>719559138Its hard to believe that a technology like this simply doesn't exist anymore.
>>719599986You mean the assault on Nohman's base?To be fair the game was rendering a fuck load of enemies.
>>719559753Unquestionably
>>719600358>You mean the assault on Nohman's base?Yes. The lines from your useless teammates were so repetitive and annoying I had to mute the game for that part.
>>719599949Who the fuck cares about lighting/reflections when physics/interactivity is total shit, and the ai is buggy as fuck. I don't give a FUCK about real time day of time change, prebaked light is plenty.
>>719564257wii edition
>>719581271Multiple light sources. The thing you're seeing that makes everything smeared and ugly isn't deferred rendering, it's PBR (physically based rendering) and shitty global illumination and volumetric effects.>Games from 2000s-2010s look way better than most of the shit we get today.One of the reasons Stalker looks so cool and can do that lighting stuff is because it's deferred rendering.
>>719580680basedsnoys seething
>>719556327Why yes I also enjoy making this joke with friends whenever we play an old game and see reflections.
