What the fuck happened to video games?
>>721615786LMAO I didn't even believe you at firstIt's so over
>>721615786>What the fuck happened to video games?The bubble occurred during the 90s and 2000s and started to focus heavily on consoles as viability waned. We are now firmly post-bubble (90s- about 2002), post-copium (2002 -2011), post-bagholder (2011-2016) and in the full wealth extraction phase (2017-202X).The issue with a publisher oriented bubble is that they naturally produce media that individuals like and which has value that isn't completely tied up in speculative overvaluing, like tulips or dotcom, so we have something that we can actively be fond over absent the rampant speculation that created it.The only true solution is to abolish the large publishing paradigm by reducing copyright to a scale that considers 1-20 guys with computers and an internet connection the correct scale for a company that publishes things, rather than a large company with an equally large legal apparatus, which was a scale chosen primarily to make it easier for the state to hold them accountable for wrongthink.
>>721615786There is something wrong here; they blatantly lie about min or max (or they just ship the original game as "classic" mode)
>>721616565kek
>>721615786no one gives a fuck anymore
>>721616565At least they didn't completely fuck up and recommend Windows 11 on CPUs that don't support it.
>>721615786The Skaven of "humans".
i have a 3090 and a i9 9900I tried Satisfactory and its stuck at 30FPS for some fucking reasonmodern gaming isn't fun anymore
>>721618423>SatisfactoryI'm playing it with 60 fps on 3060ti.
It looks like cheap 3D game.
>>721616565>the ryzen 7 5700 I bought 2 years ago is not enough to run a 25 year old game
>>721618841It looks like Doom 3. What the fuck lmao
>>721615786forget skyrim, the game legit looks worse than doom 3's original release from a technical perspective
Western gamedevs are officially subhuman
Why not give it to Nightdive?
>>721618841That's terror.
>>721620296this is some nintendo hire this man level shit holy fuck
>>721615786Lets be honest you niggas love to seethe. Slightest bit of outage activates the onions in your viens and you gettin high off that shit. Straight up this game gone run on steam deck spec sheets always lie. I mean shit if I was a dev I'd fuck wit you too shit be too funny watchin bitch ass white boys cryin over a 5 year old gpu dat you ain't gon need anyway.
>>721615786i`ll buy and replay it again, replayed original jhust recently. But its just just lazy update , too weak to call Remaster.I wish Virtuous i.e. guys who remastered Oblivion did it. Still, even some character models replaced is worth it to give a game another run, since its good game. If they fixed aiming, might actually try action run for once.
>>721621674you're subhuman
>>721615786how poor are you that you're on a card worse than a 2080?
>>721621740How did you guess? I am Russian. Only us, subhumans, actually love and play those old cool games like Xcom, Fallout, Deus Ex, Gothic, Heroes of Might and Magic etc. Meanwhile the basedboy master race plays Nintendo.
>>721620296It looks so much fucking worse lmao.At this point I'm starting to believe that they are deliberately trying to gaslight future generations by releasing shit versions of games so that the kid ls dont know that good games used to exist.
>>721621504Too brown, didn't read.
>>721620296They look like action figures what the fuck
>>721620296Aspyr hired fans, at least for Tomb Raider
>>721621759are there any games worth playing that require more than a 2060?
>>721621796>i`ll buy>I am RussianYeah, a very clear falseflag there.
>>721620296That's terror
>>721620296>jeets>westernrace cars 20 years ago
>>721619992Apologize.
Looks better, Denton has ears now
>>721620443Money
>>721621969the company making remaster is Russian, same as Tomb Raider 1-3. Aspyr belonged to Saber Interactive and basically still outsources all work there.
>>721615786I thought this was fake untill I researched it. What is this shit. How.Modern coders can't optimise shit.
>>721622296It's indians all the way down now, I'm afraid.
>>721622192I know but that's not what I was referring to. Also, didn't their tr stuff turn out alright?
It looks fine. Third world uncs are just coping their system is still from 2000 (25 years ago btw) when the OG dropped. Get a job, and get with the times.
>>721622761Kill yourself jeet
>>721615786
>>721615786Let me guess: It's because the game never culls any assets and the entire map is fully loaded in and rendered at all times with all the 4K textures.
>>721616565>>721620296
>>721622904>You have 10 seconds to hand me that Google Play card before I add you to the list of NSF casualties, SAR.
>>721618841I bet those new character models have 1,000,000 triangles and that's why the requirements are so high
>>721620296>westernthis was outsourced to pajeets
>>721622094neverI'd rather swim in the Ganges river
>>721620296What really gets me is the first cut, where you can see the NSF leader's hands swaying naturally and they look like 2 guys talking with JC bobbing naturally and breathing, and then it's replaced by a 2 jeet talking heads with no body movement. Holy FUCK, 25 years of "progress".
>>721624923This was outsourced to slavs. Pajeets never worked on any of the aspyr's remasters.
>>721618841It looks like invisible war
They are lying you retards, devs don't even acknowledge those old gpus anymore
>>721616565I really fucking hate when devs/publishers list the requirements as just i3/i5/i7. That information is completely fucking meaningless on its own. i3/i5/i7 what, asshole?
I'VE GOT NERVES OF STEEL
>>721625509Partly slavs, they're slav-asian hybrids.
>>721625509Ukrainians truly are the jeets of Europe.
>>721625509>engine developersshow 3d\2d artist
>>721625805Ukietrainians made Stalker in 2007. They have far more range than jeets.
>>721625943https://youtu.be/LBrY5pj_qP8?si=1FDatc5QAH78-hhT&t=577Render devs was the best I could do.You can check the credits yourself.
>>721625769It is what it is.
Free mods that have been available for many years look better than this $30 remaster.Some dude ran assets through an AI software a few years ago and managed to make them look better while still retaining the original feel.why the fuck would you pay for such a sloppily-done AI shitmaster
>>721626116>battlefrontAre you retarded, anon?
>>721626332>battlefrontYes, classic collection (remastered).It's aspyr though. They're working on deus ex.
>>721615786this is an AI generated image, right? It's a joke, right?
>>721626301It's made for two groups of people. Console users who have no way to play the original, and retards who can't figure out how to run it on PC since even the GOG version is borked.>just use Kentie's launcherYes but some people can't manage even that.
>>721627049>It's a joke, right?No. It's terror.
>>721627257
>>721627113>GOG Version is borked>literally bought, downloaded, installed and started it yesterday with 0 issue
>>721626301Because this a pure cheapo cash grab (like GTA San Andreas reforged or wtf was it called), spend as little as you can, if you sell a few thousand copies you are still on the money.Also big AAA corp hates modders, makes them look bad.
>remaster the og>make it look like shit>remove the og from every store>erase every trace of its existence>dmca every footage of the og>ten years later>remaster the remaster by reverting it back to the og
>>721621796If you had any love for Deus Ex you would not think about touching this dogshit excuse of a "remaster" for even a second.
>>721615786it looks fine.
>>721627604you augmented your vision too much
>wanted a remaster of deus ex>had no idea they actually did one>it looks awful
>>721627604>this is 'fine'
>>721627604Yeah, especially if you play it backwards.
>>721627604
>>721627364>muh remakesWhen your devs take 10 years and $100mil to make one game that isn't even a guaranteed hit you need to dust off a tried and true game that, apparently, everybody loved, give it a new coat of paint and re-release it. Costs next to nothing and it might make you a couple million. You're also testing the waters for that kind of game. It's the definition of a low effort, low risk cash grab.
>>721627113>Console users who have no way to play the originalYou can play the PS2 port on the PS5.
>>721628045>we're gonna test the waters by releasing an abhorrent pile of dogshit>uh oh it's not doing well i guess nobody wants our pile of dogshit, can it boysUh-huh.
>>721627705Is it literally just DX re-textured?>We remastered an old favorite!Did you update the engine >No, BUT we DID fuck with all the lighting and character modelsAt least Oblivion tried, nay even succeeded, in updating the engine AND running it on top of the shit show that is Gamebryo.
Just get Revision mod for free on steam (You still have to buy The game for 1$ on sale)It even has its own page and achievements.It makes the world more detailed while not sacrificing the orignal esthetic and graphics.
>>721628308they also removed the reflections. I don't think this is the same engine, I believe it to be a cursed amalgam of UE1/2/3 or straight up a dogshit port to UE3
>>721628223>a cheap remaster is paying a couple thirdies to AI uprez some textures like GTA >a proper remaster is REblivion that is almost a remake>difference is at least one order of magnitude in fundingWhen you believe in the project you can go the REblivion route, when you don't you go with the GTA approach. You have to understand that AI uprezzing textures takes, at best, 5 guys a couple weeks. But it took a legit development studio to make REblivion.
>>721628045Yeah it's a good idea on paper, but the company should still put a modicum of effort into the remaster so it doesn't end up ridiculed by everyone and ruining the image of the whole IP.Then again, the GTA remaster trilogy was apparently very successful financially so I don't know, maybe I'm expecting too much from gamers.
>>721628742Shitting out a soulless cashgrab that will inevitably fail isn't going to test anything. It will just do that. Fail. Let's face it, they're bleeding money and desperate to release whatever the fuck they own and make whatever amount, hence why they can't afford to hire decent studios or even outsource it to people that give a fuck.
>>721620296how the fuck does it look worse than a 25 year old gamedon't get me wrong, if this gets a new generation to play DE and listen to what it has to say about elites then I don't care, but i certainly shan't be buying
>>721618841How did their AI misconstrue the shirt this hard
>>721628974>ruining the image of the whole IPNot much to ruin about Deus Ex.>>721629010>they're bleeding money and desperate to release whatever the fuck they own and make whatever amountYes, that's why they did it. They have nothing else.
>>721615786>at least new gen will get a chance to...Do you really think that new gen would get excited after seeing this? And I'm not talking from the OG experience. Do you think this type of game is something they show interest in? >Prey failed>Dishonored died>Imsims are very niche and basically pc centric thing carried forth by a bunch of autists
>>721629361Its just a fancy vest over his shirt yet it makes it a full piece of armor, complete with moob cups.
>>721616565>20 GBMore jeetmaster shit. The original is, what, 500 MB?
>>721620296Holy shit, the literal bare minimum they could have done.
>>721628974GTA has normalfags as its audience who don't know any better. They just hear "remastered with modern tech" and think "so that means it looks better right?"
>>721616390the world is so gayi hate satan
>>721621820>At this point I'm starting to believe that they are deliberately trying to gaslight future generations by releasing shit versions of games so that the kid ls dont know that good games used to exist.It's too much of a coincidence this is happening at the same time as the political violence.
>>721629774>giving a random NSF terrorist UNATCO armour like JCRartedmaxxed remakecels.
>>721631390name me one single year in human history were political violence never happened
>>7216325392014
>>721625984To be fair Stalker 1 was made by russian Ukrainians, per the credits. Many -ev ,-ov names . Nu-GSC is pure trash. They couldn't even replicate the brilliant AI of OG GSC
>>721615786I still can't believe this shit, i'm truly baffled.
>>721618841why is the kevlar a platemail now
>>721632539Every single year pre 2025 CK (Charlie Kirk)
>>721625656The indians publishing this probably have no concept of generations of CPU or technology.
>>721632775Russia should invade Czechoslovakia just put that studio down. Retarded vodkamaxxer swindled everything out so that most of the original devs were gone before first game even came out and then gave it over to his brother to do the same thing.
do not play or torrent thisget vanilla GOTY edition, or GMDX mod, or even revision if you want some diff maps.
>>721633676Why contain it?
>>721615786>worse than unmodded Skyrim it looks worse than unmodded Oblivion
>>721615786What the fuckLooks worse than Morrowind, looks worse than the original
>>721620296look good
>>721616565human revolution is 17 gbmankind divided requires 8gb ramunreal 5 is a goddamn abomination
>>721620296this can't be real wtf
>>721616565All this for a UE1 game with a new lighting engine running in a UE5 wrapper?The original required 64MB of RAM and 150MB of storage and looks infinitely better visually.
>>721628350yeah but i dont see any ferns
>>721635172>unreal 5 is a goddamn abominationIt's a developer issue, UE5 is great when optimized by competent devs.
>>721630317>hurr durr why is a game with higher fidelity assets taking up more space than a 2000 unreal engine 1 game from the age of games being on compact discs MUST BE INDIANS
>>721636054That's the biggest issue with it. You don't see Fortnite struggling that much with UE5 because those fuckers made the engine and know what to turn off/on to make it look and run goodBut idiotic developers who don't care and don't want to care leave every retarded lumen toggle on, among other things, making their games look like typical UE5 slop while requiring dlss to run at stable 25fps
>>721636163your higher fidelity assets look like fucking shit, if you dont understand the issue there you might be retarded, ask your ai to explain
>>721636163Gta IV was 16gb on release. There is no fucking explanation that would justify this you cretin
>>721636163Game looks like a worse Doom 3, and that was 1.2gb.
>>721636163>higher fidelity assetsWhat's the point if you don't update the geometry of the models? It's literally like an HD texture pack and Revision did a better job of that and only takes up 6GB.
>>721636163>A 2000 game upgraded to 2003 graphics should be 20 fucking gigabytesStalker motherfucking Shadow of Chernobyl is smaller than that.
???????? Why are you people fucking whining? If you like the old version and can deal with the jank and graphics you don't have to buy this one. People that want to can.
>>721620296India is not a western country.
>>721636683Kill yourself, shill
>>721625509where is this from?
>>721636683>it's okay to release uncooked absolute dogshit because you can just play the old one hahawatch them delist the GOTY from steam.
>>721636683>can deal with the jankYou think they're going to fix the jank? They're not changing shit about the game beyond slapping an AI genned texture pack and ray traced lighting on it and called it a day.
>>721620296aint no way this is real
>>721636683It looks barely above the original in graphics with all the janky shit intact.
>>721623292lmaooo
>>721636683>Why are you people reacting badly to wasted effort, potential, and ultimately moneyhungry behaviorOh I dunno, because we're human and that's what humans do. What are you a nigger or kike subhuman?
Finally I can play this and ignore the original shit smeared slop
>>721637158good morning sir I too will be having a blast!
install vanilla game.then install this for a new run if you want: https://www.moddb.com/mods/gmdx/downloads/gmdxv90-releaseand get the kentie launcher (google it) for unlocked fps and updated resolutions + bug fixes.
I fucking love the remasters and remakes replacing the original shit.
>>721636852And? Not like it gets removed from anybody who has it and the game is easily piratable for those who didn't have $1 to spare over the past 25 years to buy it.
>>721628742reblivion is still inferior to the og. they clearly cheaped out
>>721636852GOTY was always inferior to the original release. Literally uses older broken versions of maps that the original release didn't.
>>721637510>reblivion is still inferior to the og.I heard people complaining that it's not doing enough new, i heard people complaining that it's just the same but i haven't heard anyone saying that the OG is better.
>>721636163why is it bigger than a 2011 prequel with leagues better graphics, shill?
>>721638034Storage is cheap. You can get a 20TB hard drive for under $200. In 2011 you couldn't even buy a hard drive larger than 2TB.
>>721637129>Nooooo muh indiain devs wasted their effort>Nooooo muh corporation fucked the corpse of the ip that I love that they put out 30 years ago for money instead of making me a new entry in the series that I would hate and screech about on the internet to make sure it doesn't sell anywayNo one should do anything for gamers.
>>721637918That's sadly true but can be easily fixed with a mod or two. >>721637475>It's okay because you can just pirate it or you should own itand the idea that someone might experience a vastly inferior, downright downgraded and retardified version of the game for their first time does not bother you? Art should be preserved, even if it's fucking video games. It's basically the equivalent of pic related.
>>721638125I never asked for this.
>>721638168The good news is Asypr has no rights to the original game. They cannot delist it.
>>721638101that's not what i asked
>>721638125Maybe you should try getting a job?
>>721638392Storage is cheap. Optimizing for it is stupid when everybody has terabytes to spare. Fretting over 20GB would be like fretting about a few extra kilobytes back in 2000. Nobody did this.
>>721638101shelling out money for additional storage because devs cheaped out on optimization is peak cuck behavior. ain't buying your bloatware shilloid
>>721615786I just know it was outsourced to India.
>>721638628The average amount of PC storage space in 2025 is 250GB. 20GB is 12.5% of that drive, for a game that would've looked dated in 2003.
>>721638507? What? Why would I want to get a job? I got a lady that goes to work and buys me stuff instead, you should try it.
>>721638168I don't know shit about painting, but even I could have done a better job than that woman, holy shit, it looks like she just started brushing all around until she destroyed the whole painting.
>>721638805>The average amount of PC storage space in 2025 is 250GBconfirmed indian
>>721639890projection: the post
>>721620296VERY GOOD SAAR
>>721638805Most users have more than 1TB.
>>721620296fuck this
>>721616565this is "your" fault for still buying unoptimized shit just because it runs on "your" pc.
>>721615786>>721616565>>721618841>>721620296How many people at Asspeer are tearing their hair out because this is what they got back from the jeets? This looks like a cope and mope trailer for the devs moreso than the audience.>"Stratigies" in plain sight next to JC in the second comparisonWho looked at this and said it was okay to ship? Why did they not learn from R*'s fuckup?
>>721625509Aspyr outsources to jeets, check credits of this one when it's out
>>721640171kek have fun with your $90 and 200GB GTA6
>>721640580The Tomb Raider remasters were pretty good other than a few inconsistencies they patched quickly. I don't get how they fucked it up so bad this time.
>>721641259As a man who had only ever played Tomb Raider Anniversary, you think playing the TR remasters is worth it? Or should I settle for the old-ass OGs?
>>721641213I will. My PC has 8TB of SSD storage across two 4TB NVMe and I've got a 160TB NAS for all my archived games installers and other data. Storage is a non-issue for me.
>>721627684>had no idea they actually did oneThey didn't yet. This isn't coming out until February. This AI genned HD texture pack is taking more than 4 months to make.
>A 2080 for a game that looks like it came out in 2004But developers aren't lazier and more incompetent and incapable of optimization, you're imagining things, let's see (You) make your own game Engine
>>721638507What a shameOh my god JC a bomb!
>>721641259we dont actually know if its being made by the same team and judging by how bad this looks probably not
>>721627705>That font spacingWHY
>>721641862Looks miles better than revision is actually finished unlike HDTP and probably won't crash to desktop unlike the original on UE1 no matter which mod you try with it. This is unironcally a good thing. Would you prefer they do a cinematic remaster where Denton shouts "fuck this conspiracy is getting real" every time he sees an NSF member?
>>721642726>hurr durr would you prefer if they made it a different flavor of shit than the flavor of shit they made?go away shill, this does not look better than the base vanilla OG let alone revisionNo human being can look at this UI, compare it to the original and say this is in any way or fucking form better
>>721643162>Doesn't look betterDebatable. >UII can actually read it now>RevisionWow bro they added trees and an empty room that wasn't there before and completely fucked the colour paletteNow I know your a buttmad revision dev.
>>721643414
>>721642726>Looks miles better than revisionNo it doesn't.
>>721620296>they made it so you can actually seeDay 1 buy.
>>721636286>MUH SUBJECTIVE OPINIONSIt's objective fact they're higher polycount and higher resolution textures. Facts don't care about your feelings. Likely the audio isn't 48kb/s mp3s anymore either. Being addicted to outrage and shitting on things has rotted your brain so you can't THINK.It being 20 GB for what's basically Invisible War if it were made as a 360 launch title instead of xbox original with what look like default unity lighting shaders is excessive, but foaming at the mouth because it takes up more space in general is fagtarded.>>721636372Nobody cares.>>721636450They visibly did change the models. You're blind if you think they're the same as the originals. The heads alone are worlds different.
>>721615786I've never played this game (sorry, /v/), but is it true that the remake looks worse than some of the free mods available on the Internet?
>>721644927>Nobody cares.Not even the devs, that is the issue
>>721644927>They visibly did change the modelsThe character models are new (and shit), but the models of all the stuff in the rooms is clearing just the originals with new Ultra Realistic 4K textures slapped on them.It's as bad as the garbage HDTP mod.
>>721644927oh go lay an egg you dork
>>721643602>Busted colour palleteNice example
>>721620296>WesternI'll assume this is 100% made by Indians until proven otherwise.
>>721625509which game is this?
>>721624867>betDon't gotta bet.Look at the coat.There's contours and grooves that aren't just textures all over that leather garb.
>>721615786Normalized, simple as. Once something becomes mainstream it goes to shit immediately.
>>721621504Leave nigger
>>721635867They and randomly spawned dildos come bundled with fully modeled female characters' genitals mod.
>>721615786You got everything you asked for, but nothing you wanted.
>>721636054which no one has done yet, not even epic themselves, ue4 was better and had more optimized games
>>721650960>ue4 was betterEvery UE4 game stutters on PC, just like UE5. It's just as bad, but you can brute force it better with modern hardware.
I don't particularly care for the retarded normalfag hate bandwagon going on right now. It's too little pushback, way too late. These motherfuckers saw countless games -- literally hundreds of them at this point -- get raped by companies and suddenly they draw the line at Deus Ex? I even noticed retards comparing this to the GTA Definitive Edition debacle, which is ironic because that heap of fucking garbage somehow sold 14M copies. So this will too, it's just basic economics.The funniest fucking part is that no one has actually played Deus Ex, at least no one who is currently trying to pretend Aspyr are the "LJN of modern gaming" now (real comment I saw, btw). This performative outrage is purely because they got the signal that this remaster is bad bad not good, even though they have no real basis to say it looks bad and are simply operating off gut reaction (Read: Their favorite streamer said it's ugly, as if the OG game isn't also fucking hideous).Ultimately I just think it's kind of weird, you know? We're finally at the stage where old games can look on par with pre-rendered CGs but according to normalfags and elitists and ragebaiters if you have anything but absolute feverish hatred for this you're *checks notes* a brownoid slopjeet turdworlder or something. And don't act like this isn't the exact fucking script everyone over on /v/ follows now
>>721638696Translation: "I have no job and mommy won't spend $50 on a hard drive waaaaah"
>>721615786>2080HAHAHAHAHAAHA. Looks worse than half life 2, which runs on anything.
>>721652148Looks worse than Deus Ex (2000).
>>721629212Cmon Anon you know it's going to be heavily censored. It will warn us about TRUMP and FASCISM
>>721651854I played deus ex.This looks like shitSimple as
>>721621820The coincidental removal of the old versions whenever this happens should've clued you in a bit sooner.
