PUBG in this thread: Bad game, for bad and unskilled players, completely luck based, not interesting to competitive players
PUBG in real life: The most popular game on Twitch for the last 6 months by a huge margin, dominated by the world's best CS:GO players who always have incredibly good "luck" as they make $50k a week playing it

Popular and good are not the same thing

Also games being watched on Twitch are generally being played in a way that doesn't work for the population at large (e.g. fighting games which don't really work outside of top tier play), in other words are interesting to watch but not necessarily to play. The truly great games are way down the list of Twitch viewers.

Or, you know, emulator and a few minutes of loving with OBS, one of the two.

Although if you meant that question more rhetorically, all but 9 of those viewers are watching a guy speedrunning the game.

While you've worded it in a way that makes it seem like a bad opinion, he's not wrong. Games cost way too much to develop now, but that is the fault of developers chasing stupid poo poo like accurate shadows on grains of sand and other frivolous graphical enhancements.

I'm fully aware of bloated budgets, and I'd say it's the fault of everyone involved - both consumers and the development/publishing side, but a developer trying to use it to justify an open world game where the entire city from the first game was reused but with a brown filter and some rubble is just lol.

What "article writer's bias"? This is from an interview with their CEO:

quote:

Inven: Many players also wonder when the PS version will be launched.

CH Kim: As it’s going to be an exclusive title on Xbox One for some time, we’d like to focus on completing the Xbox One PUBG for now. If we have the opportunity, the final goal would be to launch the title on every platform.

Their agreement on this is so weak PUBG aren't even doing the usual of just straight out lying about exclusivity or being obtuse.

Resolution is kind of weird because of your ability to focus on a small area.

From what I've read, it sounds like your general all-encompassing view is somewhere around 4K resolution, but you can focus on a spot equivalent to something like 1% of your viewing area and have THAT show up as 4K (with the rest being blurred).

In theory, if you had two projectors and an eye tracker that could insta-render a 4K image where you're looking that would be as high as you could see.

Of course with 3D rendering there are other variables at play, like you get a better picture by supersampling at a resolution higher than the final output.

There's also the whole color depth thing (not helped by the fact that there are three-ish somewhat-competing standards), framerate, and audio (we also have 3 competing standards on the upper end between Dolby Atmos, DTS:X and Auro3D, all of which handle things somewhat differently)

The ultimate fact is we're probably an order of magnitude away on both fps and resolution from where we reach the point that people of normal eyesight can no longer notice a difference from improvements. That thing about its easy for your eye to focus in tight on one smaller piece of a screen that when viewed all together is detailed enough has really got it.

Sweet, thanks. The new years sales have good deals on 2+TB drives that are surprisingly compact, so will have to drop a few on those.

Depends on the games you'll be installing, newer AAA games especially with the 4K assets are starting to break past 100 gigs.
