the ps2 owned yeah

but it also wasn't crammed with social/internet bullshit

and. Not but, and. Having negligible internet utility was mostly a bonus. The only drag was that people still made games AFTER they 'learned' the bad day-one-patch habits from the PS3 and 360.

Don't you just hate when you wind up in a store with people who are in a socioeconomic class that is pretty obviously about two levels lower than your own?

I'm making a new game for pc.

why?

make a new game for iOS and tvOS, make sure it has good controller support, get a Mac version practically for free that you can release via the App Store as well, then port that to Steam for people using legacy operating systems

did ms buy share point from someone else, I'm trying to think if they've ever developed anything decent inhouse

the MicroSoft SoftCard for the Apple ][ was a p deece way to run Z-80 CP/M software on an Apple ][

and Bill Gates himself worked on it

then it prevented Apple from increasing the clock speed for the Apple //e by requiring tighter bus timings than the spec actually offered

that is one of the ways halo 5 achieves 60 fps. by dynamically lowering the resolution whenever things get too crazy

I kind of wish more games did that tbh. I'd much rather have the image quality dip than mess up a shot or something due to frame hitching.

it's a pretty moot point though since I mostly play games on PC so I get the best of both worlds.

rage had horrendous texture pop even on fast machines and ssds. a lot of it was bad optimization cause the engine was designed for the 360 era. wolfenstein used the same engine but had a much better handle on the texture pop.

Still better than android clock

quote:

One, believed to have been carved in the mid-sixth century BC, proclaimed: "Nikasitimos was here mounting Timiona (Νικασίτιμος οἶφε Τιμίονα).

"We know that in ancient Greece sexual desire between men was not a taboo," added Dr Vlachopoulos, who returned to the far-flung island last week to resume work with a team of topographers, photographers, conservationists and students from the University of Ioannina where he teaches. "But this graffiti … is not just among the earliest ever discovered. By using the verb in the past continuous [tense], it clearly says that these two men were making love over a long period of time, emphasising the sexual act in a way that is highly unusual in erotic artwork.

tonnes of games do it now, but mostly just on Xbox One. the same games will run on PS4 with locked 1080p in many cases. lol.

the texture pop was so bad that you could spin around and around and see the textures degrade and come back constantly.

didn't help that the game at the time made a big deal about MEGA TEXTURES

the earliest instance of variable resolution in a game that i can remember was that Chronicles of Riddick game in 2004

considering the engine was written by ex-scene programmers I wouldn't be surprised if it was the first one, period
