Why does the zeitgeist appear to be frozen?
shut up unc
Because standards are frozen.
why do english speaking people pronounce this german word so weird?>siteguyst
Live service games, internet distribution, short form content platforms and smartphones being the primary computer have killed space and time and any semblance of culture in society. If it wasn't for GTA 6 killing forknife you'd be having zoomers playing the same game from birth until they graduate college
>>737683103zoomers are uncreative bitches with no culture or content
>>737683161I have never in my life heard a single person pronounce it like that, neither have you for that matter.
Haven't played any fortnite in quite a while, still waiting for Tim to add back 50v50 as that was way more fun than battle royal.
>>737683161I'm still waiting for anglos to realize that surnames ending with -stein don't rhyme with spleen.
There is no geist\soul there
>>737683161It's our word now, Fritz.
>>737684283Go service mahmuds ballsack britcuck mutt
>>737683103because to advance graphics massively now you need $10,000 worth of video card. do you think they'd sell?idiot
>>737683103Because most of the industry is currently passing over to private equity that is liquidating it for capital and they have moved to highly restrictive software models to avoid birthing competition for their exploitation.A lot of current highly popular games are based on mods and the publishers in charge of those games have elected to close the door behind themselves because they wouldn't acquire the rights to any derivatives. Meanwhile all modding platforms have become more locked down, centralized, insular and restrictive.
>>737684481This would not happen with a modicum of common sense, optimisation, and 1080p 60fps as the common standard.
wow it's almost like processors hit their physical size limit and literally cannot be made more powerful because there's no space left for more transistorsyou fucking dumbass niggers
>>737683103American capitalism, specifically silicon valley buisiness strategy took over which is stagnant and exploitative by design. It used to be ruled by japanese buisiness models and Europe had their own sphere. America is a steroid country, it is build to hyperscale then implode.

funny jpeg, unc, now show 20 year old animations and sound design vs today's
>>737684923It is ridiculous how much the industry has stagnated.
>>7376849237 years used to be the difference between FF6 and FF10.
Raytracing and path tracing make games look great.
>>737684985Back then those games were state of the art, zoomgroid-chan. He's talking about gameplay innovation and you're talking about technological progress. Sure, your turd is very polished but back then they weren't eating turds and those games were still polished for their time. What happened back then was both gameplay innovation and technological progress. Now you've barely got technological progress and gameplay innovation is dead in the water. Picrelated is 11 years old now and looks better than most AAA trash that comes out these days. What doesn't grow and expand/evolve, stagnates and stagnation is synonymous with regression because the universe continues on, it doesn't stagnate.
>>737683161For some weird reason the English just make up a headcanon pronunciation of loanwords and foreign names.Einstein, Zuckerberg, Kissinger, Chomsky, all mispronounced on the regular; but my favorite is Socrates (pronounced by Anglos as sow-crates).
>>737685647>hey what's that japanese sing-along thing called?>CARRY YO KEY
>>737684923In 5 years we went from Shining Force to Final Fantasy Tactics whereas these days crappy games not even worth playing have longer devs times.
>>737683161Why do they use "Spiel" wrong?
>>737683161>>737685647holy midwit batman!it's because the english pronounciation of "poltergeist" is typically "polter-guyst" so people read "zeitgeist," then they break it down, they already know "geist" makes a "guyst" sound and assume it works backwards to also make a "zight" sound, therefore making:>zight-guystit ain't rocket surgery, guysit's just english
>>737685804But let's not pretend the Nihonese are any better than that.A couple years ago I watched K-on and they kept referring to cake as "keki" (an obvious loanword from english). Why don't they have their own word for cake? You're telling me they never came up with the idea of sweet bread until 1945?
>>737686114The "geist" part is not the problem as its pronounced close enough.The "zeit" part is the problem.
>>737685560>chatgptslop copeAYOOOO THIS GAMEPLAY IS STATE OF THE ART
>>737686185>actually it’s pronounced Tsight-guystIt’s not that different I thought it was aggressively wrong
>>737683103Because it's bad for corpos if people move on to a new thing.Just keep feeding people regurgitated junk in the same comforting place.
>>737683103the west has fallen (culturally)
>>737686225>any post more than 10 words is ai slopyour brain is fried, zoomie
>>737685560Today Fortnite is the state of the art, because it's the common standard many other shooters try to emulate. It's the usual practice within the art.>>737686225This gameplay is not state of the art anymore. It used to be state of the art when everyone and their dog were making Diablolikes.
>Really like video game>End on cliffhanger>Know it will take at least 5 years for the sequel to come out if ever>Know that there is a good chance the company or all it's devs would be completely different or bankrupt by then
>>737686465>5 years for a sequelNow it takes sometimes 2-3 years just for an expansion DLC lmao
>>737686668Well of course. You need to wait for Durgasoft to deliver the outsourced assets, and for Sweet Baby to make the essential inclusivity edits.
>>737686357>Fortnite is the state of the artNo, Fortnite piggybacked on the battleroyale craze established by PUBG which was a standalone game based on an Arma2 mod by the guy who created PUBG.Fortnite apes a concept from year 2013, it's not state of the art in terms of gameplay, it's not state of the art in terms of graphics either because there's better looking games out there from a visual fidelity pov. Fortnite actually released as a zombie survival game, similar to what DayZ was, so not even the original Fortnite game was original in any way.>>737686465>Know that there is a good chance the company or all it's devs would be completely different or bankrupt by thenIndustry churn rates are about 7 years so it's basically guaranteed that the original devs won't be there for the sequel, guaranteeing it fucking up.
>>737686826You don't understand, it is state of the art precisely because it exemplifies common practice used in the art (industry).State of the art does not mean advanced or well made, it means pedestrian, common.
>>737683479Watch it not killing Fortnite at all.
In what way can graphics even be improved anymore? Beyond NVidia needing to sell graphics hardware to make number go up,, there is no legitimate need for better graphics at this point. We're well into diminishing returns territory and have been for almost 2 decades.
>>737688956Destructible enviroments, less fog, no black smears, better physics. A lot of modern games can't even surpass vidya that came out 20 years ago, they have a lot of work to do still
>>737683161we do it wrong to annoy you.
>>737689172>we need to push the hardware further so we can match what games did on hardware from decades agoThat makes no sense. The problem obviously isn't the hardware.
>>737683161>siteNo one pronounces it with an S sound, z and s make different sounds in English, anon
>>737689172A lot of that stuff is more CPU bound isn’t it?
>>737689172donkey kong bananza
>>737683103fortnite has gone through multiple graphics revamps and style changes since 2017 and you specifically chose a screenshot of the "OG" gamemode which replicates the original map and art style on purpose
