>>719595723Games were never optimized.On average most games ever are barely held together messes of technical debt that barely work and are totally inefficient. This is just the cost of games development being hard and expensive.
>>719599537At some point in computer science courses around 2014, they stopped teaching optimization in their curriculums due to the changing expectations of the market (probably due to the increase in memory and cpu speed from SSDs, and the rise of game engines like unity and unreal engine), so now there's a bunch of developers who don't know how to optimize stuff making games that take up gigabytes of space (and bloating in size if it's a live service game).
>>719599441File size has nothing to do with optimization, retard
>>719595723AAA game development is outsourced to india now, and they have no fucking clue what they're doing.it wouldn't even surprise me if unreal engine 5 is from indians and affected everyone lol.
>>719599537advertised his threads on here. he even had spambots spamming ai-generated posts a few months ago
Casual accepted shitty Un-optimized games for so long that more and more studios just stopped putting in effort or QA.
It's funny how the entire world now thinks games are "unoptimized" because some AI generated hispanic guy makes nitpicking youtube videos about unreal engine
capitalismif everyone had ubi and games were made only by hobbyists the developers would have fun trying to optimize their games employing neat techniques and showing off every new technique they come up with to save a tiny ammount of resources

>>719595723There was newer """optimization""".Look at old console games. 20 to 60 fps. Doom 3 couldn't even run 60 fps 1080p on the most expensive setups. Crysis fucked you in the ass too. Bioshock Infinite most benchmarks fall under 60.And now if you actually look at the trend -> the fps has actually been going up over the time. It's the same with "game sizes are too big", you get like 100x more space for the same price you did back then like what the fuck do you mean. I remember when I got World of Warcraft and it installed for two days and used half of my whole disk lmao.

They need to make a profit by next quarter, so they rush the development of the game and release it in a buggy, unoptimized mess.
>>719601139The script he reads has a lot big boy words.
>>719595723I just replayed a bit of MGS: Ground Zeroes again after I haven't touched it since 2019 and somehow I noticed a lot of different stuff regarding graphics and performance than I did around that time I first touched it. I recall the game being really well optimized and all that but it seems like the way they want about it is actually weird as fuck and actually a detriment to the gameplay at times.>draw distance severely reduced.(meaning, if you try to snipe stuff from a distance, such as red explosive barrels at times, you literally can't because they despawn when aiming at them if you're far enough to trigger the game to not render them, even though you're looking directly at them. you can see them when zooming in with binoculars but not when looking at them through your normal ironsights aiming.)>shitty, low-res textures on certain environment elements and the main character hiimself, usually hidden by dogshit TAA and hyper aggressive depth of field (which you can't manually disabled either of them because they're tied to the 'screen filtering' option, so if you set it to high or extra high, you, by default also enable TAA and Depth of Field, along with Screen Space Reflections, but if you set it to Low or Off, you actually switch to a more crisp looking image that uses either FXAA or no AA at all, but also disables Screen Space Reflections along with the Depth of Field.)>main character's hair does not have shadows that get rendered for it (although this is probably just some foreshadowing regarding story elements than a direct optimization thing)
i think it was hogwarts legacy that really did the number in 2023. but big name pc games have been pretty notorious for shit optimization for the past 5+ years. Cyberpunk in 2020, RE: Village in 2021, Elden Ring in 2022. People even bitched about Baldur's gate 3 as well.
>>719595723like everything about 3d gaming, consoles
>>719601010Because the only thing that changed in the past 5 years about video games is that they run worse while having shittier graphics. This is unprecedented
>>719601429those are bugs and oversights not really anything to do with optimizationdepth of field actually makes things run slower, no idea why developers love to put it in games so much
it's the publishers refusing to give enough time to optimize PC ports because they want the game released at a certain day. They don't care to optimize it because they still sell well anyways
>>719601536>no idea why developers love to put it in games so muchIt's "cinematic". They should just stick to what some other games did where they have two specific sets of DoF, one for gameplay and one for cutscenes then give players the option to just disabled either of them if they want so they can keep the gameplay looking crisp, but the cutscenes still maintain whatever cinematic fidelity the devs wanted.
>>719601509This is what makes me sperg out about the state of games. They look worse, run worse, cost more, and require even more expensive GPUs. It's just unreal (no pun intended) how much video games have backslid from a tech and presentation perspective.

>>719603817So that's a "No I'm an anti-intellectual moron"

>>719605104It is an observable fact that the SH2 remake and MGS Delta are totally unoptimized. SH2 remake renders the entire neighborhood behind the fog, ironically enough. And MGS Delta runs so badly it has to have dynamic resolution and even then has significant frame drops and crashes.And did you forget about Cyberpunk? Literally one of the worst launches in history. Almost unplayable until patched over numerous times.

>>719603071>>719605517This may come as a surprise, but zoomers hate other zoomers.

>>719605104>I'm asking for evidence that performance has declinedHow can you even deny that performance has declined with UE5 and the combination of lumen and nanite? but the issues of less than ideal existed on UE4 too, just nowhere near as pronounced. Every UE game last console gen on UE were all mostly terribly optimized, just that they could still run on lower spec. The reason people are complaining is because the whole industry moved over to UE almost overnight. We've had traditional optimization issues on different engines. We're always complaining about optimization, that's never changed. But what we see is a consistent pattern with Epic's engine. What we're complaining about is the most atrocious state we've EVER seen it in. Like the whole industry just collapsed and bled out any talent.
>>719606004This is the exact mindset that is crashing the industry. Going all in on graphical fidelity will not produce fun replayable games.

>>719606564>Has it? Is there any evidence of this?Yes. By the actual performance of the games on top end cards barely hitting 60 at max settings for 4k resolutions. That what is being shown at times does not justify the performance cost and the hardware it asks for. It's the equivalent scenario to what happened with Monster Hunter Wilds in which they show PS3 textures and yet your framerate is shit anyway. I think the existing traversal stutter and hitching has been the cherry on top of what was already terrible.
>>719607478His girlfriend edits his videos and I would like to watch them together while I edit an upcoming testing video :3
>>719603148Only correct answer.
>>719595723Let me think this one.In 2010 Ubisoft stated they did not bother at all with optimization on PC because Pc owners could just get a new GPU.In 2010 the PC market grew tremendously thanks to Steam.By 2010 Microsoft had successfully launched two consoles cross compatible with PC with a new one coming along.By 2010 developers had voiced how terrible it was to work with "Teh Cell" and Sony also opted for a x86 architecture for the Ps4.By the end of 2010 only the Switch did not use a x86 compatible architecture and big name studios had to work specially hard to OPTIMIZE their games for the system. Doom Eternal is possibly the best example of that labor.By 2010 Epic had successfully licensed Unreal Engine to a plethora of studios under the promise of an unified platform that delivered realistic graphics. However finding talent that could make the most of the engine or do custom code for it was rare and expensive so "Graphics" were enough.I am guessing that what happened is that with an almost unified system environment optimization became optional.It was an almost mandatory skill for studios back when you had like 3 different systems doing their own thing.
>>719607478>monster hunter wilds>ue5
>>719607478Yeah and there have always been games that have been poorly optimized, especially if they're games not made by the best developers (remakes for example)I'm asking is if there is any evidence that the performance of games has decreased overall like you're saying it has
>>719606346only anon ITT who gets it

>>719607646I said it's the equivalent scenario with what happened with Monster Hunter Wilds, not that it was on UE5. It's not my fault if you misinterpreted that, i believe i phrased it correctly. I was making a comparison of how they display symptoms of poor visuals with sub par results in performance.

>>719608538inb4 someone responds with ue5 games list that do not use any of the gen9 tech as a gotcha
>>719607654Practically every game that is considered hard to run over the past couple of years are terribly optimized UE5 games. I've never said poorly optimized games never existed since i quite literally told you that we've always complained about that. Being a PC gamer means being incredibly picky when all we get is devs are getting worse and worse at doing their jobs. In fact i would say that your experience is so limited over the past odd 6 years to see how it got to catastrophically bad it plunged. Do you want to list every game? anything made it on it has all been shit in optimization. If you look at most developers who still stuck with some kind of in house engine you'll notice how the performance charts across multiple setups is absurdly quite different in the fact that it's actually giving better framerates in all scenarios, no matter how bad it may be in those framerates to begin with. This is because most of those engines aren't completely borked like UE is.I still think most of those devs are also bad at optimization, it's still kind of a lost art.But that's also dependent on competent porting or PC builds for games are, so there's also other factors. I think the most notable example of you talking about terribly optimized PC games for is like how Nixxies screw up all of Sony's ports and Batman Arkham Knight. But the issue is still UE and that's what the detractors keep hiding from.
>>719608825Sorry not nixxies, Iron Galaxy. Forgive my mistake. Got the names mixed up.They're the disaster studio. Although some may claim Nixxies aren't that amazing anyway.

Games as a whole have never been "optimized". Some run better than others, some worse than others - just like now. I remember having to buy a new graphics card to run Morrowind, and getting 20 FPS in WoW when it first came out. This retarded meme of "optimization" never existed.The reality is that because prices of graphics cards have ballooned means that most of you fuckers have been left behind either due to unwillingness, or actual lack of funds. You've always had to have the hardware to run these things, always. If you want to run the newest stuff, have a system with contemporary hardware. Either way stop being a bitch about it.
Dynamic resolution scaling is what killed optimization.

>>719595723Indians.
>>719600628>There was newer """optimization""".You are a fucking retard. In older consoles and console games, the hardware was limited and there was no internet to remotely fix performance after the release. For example, in the first 3D Zelda games, OoT and MM specifically, they had to lower the frames per second on the candles' animation down to single digits, in order for the game to run smoothly in candle lit rooms. Of course, the tendies thought of this as a stylistic touch and jerked it off to hell and back but that's another story. In current gen we have developers who would just grab a random asset, slap it into the game and call it a day. When developer studios get big enough, they know it's cheaper to call their audiences poorfags for not being able to run the game, than actually spending time and resources on optimization. >the fps has actually been going up over the timeNot when you render every tooth in a town simulator of 50 thousand people.
>>719606139>tons of people still don't have particularly high bandwidth internet. Worse, many still have monthly data caps.Where, in Africa? Those people don't buy anyway
>>719595723Doom ran at 20ish fps on the computers that were available at the time.It wasn't until 2-3 years after its release that hardware was available that ran it at full speed (35frames) at max screen size.It's just always been this way. It only feels especially egregious now because new GPUs launch at $5000, are scalped and hoarded by prompstitutes for months, and visuals don't really feel like they've moved forward in any meaningful way in 10 years.

>>719614518Lots of games on the PS2 ran at 30fps (25 in PAL lol)FFX runs at 30, MGS3 runs at 30 (more like 20 especially if you're playing Subsistence, but basically any time more) FF12 runs at 30 (which is funny on the zodiac version because if you hit the speed up button you get about 8 fps) Ico and SOTC (SoTC is well known for its performance issues on PS2, but Ico really only ran as well as it did because it runs in 240p)Lots more games ran at 30 with performance issues, and lots of games ran at a target of 60 and had FPS drops too.
>>719614810>but basically any time moreMeant to delete that but I was going to extrapolate that basically every single boss battle or large encounter the FPS never goes above 20. The slow down was brutal on PAL too.
>>719614518>The playstation 2 was a technological piece of shit when it launched and ran games at 60fpsA meaningless point.The PS2 was launched with a lot of bargain bin 2D titles which could obviously run at 60FPS without any issue. However, a majority of its most legendary 3D catalog most definitely did not run at 60FPS.

Then in the early 2010s we hit this absolute peak middle ground between visuals and performance, there's a reason the 1000 series Nvidia GPUs are hailed as the absolute kings of value for money, because people got 6-7 years out of them which was borderline unheard of in the PC market at the time. Now we seem to be back to the 2000s where if you're not upgrading constantly, it feels like games always demand more and more and you're stuck playing on low/medium, or 1080p with all the crutch features enabled like DLSS.

>>719599860>they stopped teaching optimization in their curriculumsOptimization isn't exactly ever taught, in the nitty gritty details sort of way. For something like a computer science degree, the focus is more on understanding, well, the science part of computers. This doesn't necessarily translate to programming chops, especially domain specific optimization techniques like video games. That's more engineering, and even then there's only so much you can actually teach a person before they've got to start writing code.Like I'd expect the average computer science student to understand basic algorithms and big-O notation. That'll help with understanding the computational complexity of a given implementation, but optimizing code to have fewer cache misses or the like? That's something that's more learned by doing, or looking things up, depending on the problem or implementation at hand. Sometimes optimizing a piece of code might require counterintuitive solutions, rather than rigid "always do xyz", especially if it's performance critical hot code.More often than not the enemy of optimization is lack of time or resources, because project has to ship yesterday. And then when you have the staff or personnel who could do the optimizations? Oh, they might get fired and replaced, so no one knows how things actually work (see something like Halo Infinite's development).
