If you think there is any reason behind all the predictable AAA delays other than "let's announce a completely unrealistic launch date to get attention and a chunk of that sweet pre-order money ASAP and then delay the game once they all got suckered into paying" then I don't know what to tell you...

They are still working on this. I got to try out a similar augmented reality device, and the tech still has a long ways to go. https://www.magicleap.com/

lighting, as in the element of graphics that requires the fewest man hours to produce

Just 1 1/2 hours in. Fei got kicked out of town for brutally butchering a bunch of people, and he met some woman that is military but was never trained in how to use a gun.

I'm not an extremist that says graphics are sinful.

I just think we peaked with Blast Processing and there was no need to go any further than that.

As you can see, every one of these entries deserve a spot in Smash.

Instead of swords, the next pass will exclusively feature gun, gun, gun, gun and Steve from Minecraft who will have a pretty unique moveset actually.

Don't be a conspiracy theorist, capitalism would never allow for or encourage this kind of stuff.

That's what I mean, the process of tweaking the lights and materials to look the way you(r art director) wants is fundamentally different from how you do it with the old methods and then you have the issue of needing to do both because the game you're working on is seen as an investment opportunity by the people funding it so there's no way in hell itll only be using rtx.


Just look at the difference in implementation between control and literally every other rtx game.

It's no picross 3d but there was a cool looking game in a nintendo direct or something a while back where it's like visual novel murder mystery picross and instead of getting a cute pixel cat when you solve the puzzle it's the murder weapon

Luckily every pc gamer is able to use raytracing so that developers don't have to just implement both lighting methods.

to give some folks a chance to put their asses away for a bit, lemme pose a question:

what is a very minor thing a game does that adds a lot more than it seems like it should that you really like? for example, in SMT IV/A when you do a good in combat your characters (or the enemy) can get a bonus buff that does a number of things. this buff is called 'smirk' which is a small detail but adds so much flavor to the game imo. SMT IV:A might be my favorite version of the SMT/Persona combat systems

Killing Floor 2 has reload animations for when your guns are full, and you fidget with them in varying ways.

It's a tiny thing but every time I play a couple of rounds in KF2 I try to do it on instinct in other FPSes for a while, and I'm always sad when it doesn't do anything.

tarkov will happily let you keep spamming reload on bolt actions and make your gun just drop unused bullets on the floor to punish you
