HOLY SHITLOOK AT THE FUCKING PNGS AT THE WATER WHEN HE WALKSTHIS IS WHAT THE INDUSTRY HAS BECOME IN 2026
$300 million dollar budget huh
>>747816473290 million of it went to (((CEOs)))
>>747816674holy fucking giga kek
Please be nice to Sony
>>747817172No. They deserve to be relentlessly dunked on for being a shit company with shit games.
>>747816674That shit is embarrassing
>>747816372They are called sprites, you stupid sub 90 iq zoomer. Doesn't really matter if this game is garbage or not, because you should not be allowed to post.
>>747816674$300M they have to be joking or money laundering or someshitThe Switch 2 is like half the power of a PS5
>>747816674Snoy's are cucked out of their minds for being okay with this slop
>>747817413>3d game>spritesgood morning sarr
>>747816674I'm usually a Nintendo hater but that is seriously humiliating for SonyHow does this even happen
>>747817591maybe they shipped alpha assets on accident? no idea how this gets past QA desu
>>747816674Nintendo is oddly good at water effects. It feels really satisfying to look at.
>>747817591>How does this even happen
>>747817413>sprites in a 300 million dollar 2026 game
>>747817494it's still a sprite you fucking moron.probably stored in an atlas.probably not as a png but this is insomniac so fucking maybe.either way you're retarded.
>>747817494>>747817957>doesn't know how video games are made
>>747817591>incompetent devs>poor leadership>300m spent on licensing fees and middle management
>>747816674Nintendochads win again.
>>747816372I have a job and a girlfriend, can anyone explain why this is bad?
>>747816674>Worse water effects than Baldur's Gate Dark Alliance for the PS2how
>>747818134Shitty lazy graphical trick on a game that cost $300 millionthere's tons of graphical shortcuts and barebones shit that looks worse than ps3 games, despite the "AAA" status and absurdly high budget
>>747817172It's karma
>>747818134It's what a $300,000,000 budget does to a mf
>>747818134having a job and a gf makes you blind, dumb or both?
>>747816674nice water
>>747816372those are gifs ackchully
>>747818586I wonder who could be behind this post
>>747816674300 mil well spent. Quality shines through and through
>>747818623it just keeps happening
>>747818290Vengeance ain't Karma
>>747818571both
>>747816674Meanwhile, in 2002
>>747816674literally fucking HOW
The problem isn't the use of PNGs, it's how they're lazily placed in the middle with no regards to foot positioning and water elevation.
>>747819095>>747818208see: >>747817723
>>747816674Just put Insomniac out of their misery.
>>747817591Sony is speedrunning suicide. They had a stroke of luck with Helldivers 2, which I guess was statistically going to happen after not doing anything good for so many times.>>747819092What game is this? It reminds me of Kilika from Final Fantasy X.
>>747818020The real question is>300 million dollar game>Money nowhere to be scene in the productBeing realistic,one has to wonder where the money went
>>747816674the webm that murdered insomniac
>>747816674Half life 2 has better water.
>>747818020>Doesn't know how to poo in the loo
>>747816674Wow
>>747819709L
>>747819832OO
>>747819092>>747819594>MorrowindI’m pretty sure the gif is OpenMW, but still, that’s a fucking mod. A free mod. Wolverine is $300m
>>747816674Zelda also uses "cutout pngs", just more of them. Real particle systems or fluid dynamics are way too costly.
>>747819092Miasmata is the pinnacle of this style of water rendering.
>>747819594>Sony is speedrunning suicideThey will prostitute themselves to China exactly like their TV branch and Ubisoft. Sony is nothing but a bitch for hire first it was the jews with fag and troon Babylonian propaganda and soon Chicks or maybe it could be Saudis. Its they or bankruptcy few years after release of piss station 6
>>747820141So what's Wolverine's excuse for having worse water than a Switch 2 game
>>747816473Nepotism is expensive.
>>747816372I have lots of casual sex, can someone explain what op is talking about?
>>747819594>What game is this?Morrowind
>>747819092This is a programmable pixel and vertex shader with zero interaction with its surroundings.
>>747819832>>747819914
>>747816372>Optimize your games!>NOOO not like that....
>>747816372GTA V, an open world game that released on 360/PS3 13 years ago has better water effects and physics. This game has to be a money laundering operation...
>>747820287Get one of those programs that explains videos to blind people.
>>747820215I assume time constraints and the fact that Incomniac never had a convincing water effect before. They realized they gotta pull something out of their ass and picked the most straightforward approach.
>>747819968It's MGE XE>>747820346https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g0et8bWoEJk
>>747820536Yeah it looks great for 2001. Ripples are a nice effect but there aren't any splashes or refractive transparencies. But yeah, i was kinda wrong. There is a slight interaction with collision objects.
>>747820536>some guy in his mothers basement can create more beautiful and convincing water effects than a multi billion dollar corporationfucking lmao
>>747817591Dee Eee Eye
>>747816674no swimming animations because their megasheboon mocap actors cant swim
>>747816674>>747816372I think what's utterly inexcusable is the spawn point of the partical system isn't localised to the leg position and it spawns inbetween his legs. Also the emission shape is all wrong.
>>747817432probably another AAA game where they quickly made a prototype, then did nothing for 2 years just to do the bare minimum until release while crying on social media about crunch.
>>747817723you can't excuse anything by indians. If you outsource shit and they literally don't deliver you have a management/qa problem
>>747816674>they put the jewish water dash in the demake because botw had itIts over for Nintendo, isnt it? They literally cant do anything new anymore, just repeat their own judaism and the downies clap
>>747816674oot remake's water being compared to gta and now wolverine is the funniest shit
>>747816674I refuse to believe this isn't a bug. There's just no way this gets past even the worst QA team.
>>747821568Wasn't the water dash introduced in TP?
>>747820452>time constraintsNigga, they announced the game since 2021 well into production and had 400 million dollars as budget, that's just pathetic
>>747821859Most games these days seem to lack QASo I wouldn't be surprised if there wasn't a QA team
>>747821859>There's just no way this gets past even the worst QA team.Oh it absolutely can when both the devs and QA are indians.
>>747821935if you want to be even more technical zelda has had a swimming dash since Majora's mask's zora link so no clue what that other guy is on about.
>>747816674I would accept the lack of water physics if it was an indie or even a AA game, but Wolverine had a budget of 300 million dollars.They laundered money here, didn't they?
>>747821859anon people are getting soft locked on telephone poles in wolverine
>>747822065>tranime reaction image>named file>tendiepedo
>>747817494Please tell me how you think 3D games do vfx, I wanna laugh.
>>747822203You're angry, and for no reason
>>747816674
>>747822203We're all adults here. It shouldn't be too much to ask to have a proper and civil discussion without resorting to low effort name calling.
>>747817432This is just an assumption, but Nintendo is still probably small teams of all men.Sony is probably 8 layers of female "associate executive assistant accounability-dodging specialists" doing literally nothing but 15 minute "meetings" once or twice in an 8 hour a day.
>>747816654uhm actually ur communist and babies should not be allowed to eat food unless they earn it
>>747816674It's lower water settings you fucking retard.OP's webm would look just as bad otherwise
i was about to make a joke about how this game looks several times worse than Arkham Knight, a game running on Unreal Engine 4then I realized I was wrong. AK was on UNREAL 3. an engine that debuted in fucking 2006. the whole MeToo / diversity movement really did push all of the real talent out of this industry
>>747823113Which means leftards did fucking in fact ruin video games beyond repair.
>>747816674on a side note, damn, they really improved the swimming in that game.
>>747823113AK was one the most heavily modified versions of UE3 though. They modified it so much some of the features got upstreamed to UE4 iirc.
I found this in my recommendations and thought you guys would like it.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c1TaYtl-dc0
>>747816674dei consultants are not cheap
>>747822203Mother fucker, he was agreeing with you.
>>747816473I feel like you could build a small city for that amount of money.
>>747823479i don't know how people can think this mundane shit is riveting
Browns can't swim so they instinctively stay away from water unless necessary.
>>747823235Actually it was corporations and capitalism that did that, sweetie
>>747823327What happened to talented devs that used to put this kind of effort , is every dev nowadays just lazy or talentless ?
>>747823617The anon you replied to was this >>747821568 seething faggot, who can't stand the fact that everyone is shitting on sony because they're his best friends. He gets really riled up on Wednesdays because tomorrow is famitsu thread day and he's gonna have to stare at Nintendo dominating the sales chart again.
>>747816372That's actually alright, I don't wanna devs using my pc as particle accelerator that simulates light rays or smth>>747816674that looks like shit
>>747823918Oh, my bad.
>>747823327Which still speaks to the absence of creativity and innovation we see now
>>747823479Kill performative normgroids.
>>747821021Stop being racist chud
>>747816372You fags are missing the real issue here. The real problem with Wolverine lies solely on the PS5's outdated hardware, everything else stems from it>stupid AI that does nothing to make the combat flow interestingIt's because the PS5's cpu is weak as shit and can't handle complex calculations>water effects are just PNGsit's because PS5's crap ass rx 6600 equivalent is a terrible GPU and the devs had to cut massive corners in order to make this run above 15fps on the shitty systemHad this game been released on the superior platform, PC, on the superior storefront, Steam, it could've been great, but alas we can't have nice things in life because consoles do what consoles do best, hold back the vidya industry
>>747823834I know you're being sarcastic but let's all get in the same page here, the corporations ARE leftist. Reagan kowtowing to the corporate world in the hopes of reaping good esteem and favors was the most destructive decision ever made, and I spit and shit on his grave
>>747822769>lower water settingsShow me the settings then
>>747821568It's jewish to swim fast?
>>747824486The PS5 also can't handle large, open environments, you can see how poorly open world games run on it, it's also probably the reason Wolverine is just a linear hallway game
>>747818279Elite human capital, saar
>>747824492>the corporations ARE leftist.Holy lmao
>>747816372Why the fuck are you surprised? They were layoffs at Insomniac. The studio is dogshit now.
>>747816674Nvidia is better than AMD. It is what it is.
>>747817279Why is Valve there? Valve has also jumped the shark like Sony.
>>747817723to be fair to the jeets they cant study water interaction with all the trash in the way
>>747824892
>>747817998>>747818020>saar we are use sprites like 90's era doom yes gib money now
>>747818134>I have a job and a girlfriendGirlfriend? What's his name?
>>747816372At least he is gay for his half brother tho. Thank god they focused on the important things.
>>747816372So this... is the power... of Unreal Engine 5(TM) and $4000 Nvidia GPUs...
>>747816372this is literally morrowind water
>>747816473Sweet Baby Inc needs to be paid, after all
>>747825109Stop trolling plz
>>747825269can you imagine, the snoy companies having to carve out a million dollars for these fucks once per season?
>>747825109Bottom right. Sony has no exclusives
>>747821859QA is absolutely the first thing to get cut short to hit deadlines
>>747824598I think they only have a handful of employees left so some of these niggers might already be fired.
hmmmm water
>>747816372HAHAHAPC won't get Sony games anymore!hahaha
>>747822065OOT i guess technically had it too since if you mashed the B button while swimming, Link would paddle faster.
>>747826057Good? Thank you?
>>747816674Based SOVL expert
>>747817707after sunshine and windwaker, they fucking better be.
>>747822625Nintendo's employee turnover rate is very low. All directors who made the original Ocarina of Time still work at Nintendo.
>>747825828Using Saturn's fucked up edge rendering for a water effect is clever
>>747818290THIS!!PCfags CRAVE for the Sony and Xbox games.
Ill never understand why people don't just make all games like FEAR>Who gives a shit about fidelity and resolution>Crisp graphics, well thought out lighting, and snappy gameplay are what are enjoyable
>>747817723Truly the most skilful and experience engineers to have ever existed.
>>747816674Nintendo makes their games with a budget of like $250 and some pocket lint for hardware that is the equivalent of a tablet meanwhile Sony studios are out here spending the GDP of an entire African country to produce technical Marvels that were already eclipsed 25 years ago on their own hardware (PS2)
>>747826840>make all games like FEARTurns out you need talent and no meddling from HR roasties and retarded middle managers. This seems to be an impossible combination in Current Year +15.
>>747826057Good riddance.
soooo"team x" is now x menwhy is sabretooth with mystiquewhy does his CLOTHES grow back
>>747817707>Nintendo is oddly good at water effects.They never lost the technology
>>747818850Based
>>747820168holy, Miasmata mentioned in 2026!I used to be terrified of the big cat thing D:
>>747821568At least it looks like Link can still turn directions while dashing in this. I'm playing BOTW for the first time via Cemu right now and I hate the faggot ass animation you get locked into when dashing in water.
Why does /v/ lie so much?
>>747824598Unironically this probably took up a fifth of the budget alone
>>747827421Patch?
>>747816372Insomniac needs to be investigated for money laundering.
>>747827057>g-g-g-good r-riddance!!!
>>747820168doesn't look like the game renders any water, just mirror the surface with a refraction transformation and put a png on top
>>747826629Kind of kek that PlayStation games sold so poorly on PC that they just abandoned the market entirely
>>747824598What does narrative have to do with>Ugly ass characters>Dull gameplay>Poor performance
>>747816674No way this fucking thing cost 300 million. Like another anon said thats enough to build a small city. Theres no way this teams talents and lives are worth that much.
>>747820168This game was kinda a prototype of The Forest.
>>747816674If he has metal bones, can he swim?
>>747827523I can't unsee it bros
>>747827692PC pirated sonygames en masse. It must have been a 99% rate. No more Sony games for you.
>>747827421>dies for no reason while going past a car>death animation throws him backwards?was this supposed to make it look better lmao
>>747827819They need to pay 1,000 people an average of $80,000 a year for six years (and insurance costs). As well as building upkeep and maintenance. And California taxes.Expedition 33 somehow looks and sounds better despite costing 1% of the Wolverine budget.
>>747827864With his adamantium squeleton he should be heavy than his body suggests so the splashes should be big.
>>747828056$80k? Anon, it's $100k at least, and the employer pays a further 30-40% on top for benefits and taxes and shit.
>>747827421Always a nigger defending Sony.
>>747827528Bitch, did I stutter?
>>747816372Next time say look at the splashes you dumb esl
>>747827421nice moon
>>747827692>Delayed, hype killing releases>Constant PSN push>Mangled portsIt was a given
>>747817702QA hasn't been a thing for years. While you get PNG water sploosh the CEO got an extra yacht.
>>747827926>Snoys stay in their echo chamber paying sony for the privilege of accessing their own Internet >Still feel the need to fan the console warWhat even perpetuates this behavior
>>747828638>he was too stupid to look at the waterlol
>>747828957Favela status-clinging.
>>747816674Seriously what did Insomniac spend $300 million on, when a switch 2 game dunks on it this hard. Dang Sony how far you have fallen, I used to be a huge fan, but this is just embarrassing.
>>747820536Same water in Baldur's Gate Dark Alliance on the PS2.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A_6h4K6tsKU
>>747816372>WOLVERINE HAS CUTOUT PNGS FOR WATER EFFECTSSo like every game ever?
>>747827819They guaranteed $120m development and $30m marketing to Marvel for each title. So it was over $150m just based on guarantees.
>>747816372>OPTIMIZATION... LE BAD
>>747816674tbqh both look like shit
>>747816674I like how fast OOT remake discourse went from "unreal slop" "Focus L" discourse to this.
the dialogue is cringewho th fuck is essexwho the fuck is red russian mutant fagjesu chrsit
>>747830089Mostly because Sony is doing worse, and it was proven that the remake is not using Unreal Engine. Still looks kinda weird at some points though.
>>747816674this is what happens when you hire only trannies and pajeets
>>747830089You shouldn't mistake the sentiment of "lol, even this turd looks better than that diarrhea shit" for actual, genuine praise of said turd.
>>747825707It doesn't matter, all that company does is funnel money to democrat campaigns.
>>747825707There are only five employees left.
>>747824598I hate that these fucking subhumans live near me
>>747830423>>this is what happens when you hire only white men and brown menok very insightful
I don't care about Wolverine. Post your favourite water in gaming.
>>747816372Not nice water.
>>747816372>LOOK AT THE FUCKING PNGS AT THE WATER WHEN HE WALKSwhere
>>747816674anyone else thinking that blue rupee be lookin tasty?
>>747816674jesus that OOT one looks like fucking SHIT>wolverine one startsGod damn, that's even worsegamers lost, bigly
>>747831475The splash effect at his feet, blind anon.
>>747831502Stop thinking about eating shit all the time you fat fuck
>>747825828damn i should really finish grandia i got about halfway then someone on /vr/ said sue leaves you around then and i lost all motivation to continue
>>747817723Why do the islands in the lower right belong to India? They have nothing to do with India at all. Why shouldn't they belong to Britain or the USA? If the US invaded those islands, there's nothing that India's rust bucket navy and flying coffin air force can do to stop them.
>>747823918>if nintendo criticism= True then spam about sony Hindu-kun..
>>747831835How is it a PNG? I see it moving.
>>747831835This site is silly sometimes.
>>747817432cool it with the antisemitism
>>747816372it looks like ass and was lazily done but people have no idea how visual effects work when complaining that it's a "png"
>>747816372>Gamers: we want better optimization>Dev: optimizes their game>Gamers: WTF why does it look so bad???Why are gamers never happy?
so they cut corners on stuff like this making water splashes a literal png to not pay artists and programmers do it properly and instead that money was used to hire SJW consultants to help them write one of the worst stories and create some of the worst characters everi wasn't gonna play this game anyway, but come on now.... 300M and where the fuck did that money go... worst thing is people responsible for this shit won't see any consequences and even if they get fired they'll just get hired by a different studio on even higher position, because those fuckers always fail upwardsi can't wait for AAA gaming to fucking die alreadyand then some retarded mouthbreathing motherfucker will try to convince everyone that this game is good and amazing and that they had so much fun with it lol
>>747816674holy keks
>>747816372300 million doesn't buy you much these days, does it?
>>747819594>Sony is speedrunning suicideThey really are a tranny company
>>747822203>say dumb shit>get called out and proven wrong>YEAH BUT WHAT ABOUT YOUR IMAGElmao, eberi time
>>747817432>>747822625
>>747825312Anon, did you know that a large majority of 3D games use billboarding sprites with normal maps, shaders, and other effects applied in order to save on memory and give the illusion of a proper higher poly 3D mesh?
>>747816372>WOLVERINE HAS CUTOUT PNGS FOR WATER EFFECTSYou should take an IQ test. I mean everyone else in this thread already knows what the result will be. But it's important for you to know.
>>747816674Ps3 games had better water, including A Crack in Time
>>747816674SAAAAAAARDO NOT REDEEEEEEEM

>>747826840You need white people who like video games to make another fear
>>747816372The lighting looks good I guess
>>747816372It's the fucking Mass Effect 3 crowd sprites all over againThanks for reminding me that shit ass game exists, dickhead.
>>747817494sprites are still heavily used in 3D games for things like smoke, fire, water splashes, grass, or very distant objects
Kek
Here's the lava lol
>>747816674I mean Nintendo doesn't disclose their budget for gamesAnd mingames are expensive ask rockstar...
>>747816372looks pretty good
>>747816674lol get fucked eric
>>747827523its not really money laundering as much as the game's budget being siphoned away to pay salaries to people who don't really contribute
>>747820367This is the reason why I am not falling for this BS saying you need the latest graphics card to game now.
>>747824598Why are these people even necessary? Does Sony not already have these types in their studios already? Why do you even need a "cultural & narrative consultant" on a video about a guy with mutant powers?
>>747818020are you really defending it? sincerely?
>>747816674>>747816372this is clear evidence they were rushing to get this out the door before GTA6 overshadows everything
>>747816674sony is a money laundering scheme.
>>747841579They had five years.
>>747816372LMAO, MADE FOR SNOYS QUALITY STAMP
>>747816372>>747817413The technique is called billboarding.
>>747832095You can actually can see it coming through gameplay as she gradually starts taking a ton of xp to level and gets far behind the other two, it's a neat game
>>747842473How did he land a hot wife bros
>>747842561Money
>>747820452>excuse excuses excuses You are pathetic.
>>747842561
>>747839875they actually do disclose it, their most expensive game ever was breath of the wild with over 100 million dollars spent
>>747842705>pay if you want loyaltyWill never work, you have to beat women to keep their mind away from stupid ideas. And you have to beat men who try to communicate with them. Killing the men is ok too
>>747842636>>747842705Can I get an answer from someone who's not a virgin?
>>747822739Settle down rabbi.
>>747843397He found a retarded woman because he has money. If he wasn't rich he wouldn't get one

>>747820452>Time constraints>Never been done beforeDear god lol I hope you kill yourself and never reproduce for being this retarded and not doing your research. Next you will say Physics and Ragdolls are a new technology.
I have no interest in this game but holy fuck I hope it succeeds just to shut you weebfaggots up. Hyper focusing on the most specific shit just to stir the pot meanwhile nipslop regularly looks more amateurish than this but gets a free pass because LEAVE THEM ALONE THE LITTLE BUG PEOPLE ARE TRYING THEIR BEST PREASE ROOK FORWARD TO IT. Literal fucking gifs you see sometimes in gook games.
>>747816372>Downgraded effects in out of bounds areasWow that's crazyYour mother still doesn't love you
>>747816674eric absolutely butt hurt

>>747847808lol stay mad you faggot
>>747816674This wouldn't be so bad if the fuckers at Sony weren't so hellbent on replacing art direction in favor of total realism. They can't even do that part correctly.
>>747816674KEK
