Sivick314, do gaming w Unity CEO John Riccitiello 'retiring' from company weeks after pricing controversy

@chloyster good, he's been a plague on the industry. When you see your customers as wallets with legs you are bad for the people and bad for the company.

Fisch, do gaming w Hands-on with AMD FSR 3 frame generation - taking the fight to DLSS 3
@Fisch@lemmy.ml avatar

What I’m really excited for is being able to play games that are locked to 60 fps (like on emulators) at 120 fps, since I have a 144 hz monitor

lupec,

I thought emulators usually didn’t have access to the motion vectors you need to implement stuff like this or DLSS? I seem to recall hearing about it at some point.
If that’s indeed the case, it’s probably not happening anytime soon because the article mentions FSR3 needs a FSR2 base to work with.

Emulators translate the shaders and then render it the same way every other game does, so they do have access to the motion vectors

lupec,

I looked it up properly and I think takes such as this one, by the yuzu dev team, are what I was thinking of. Meaning, sure, some representation of the info is always available somewhere technically but it’s not usually usable information.
That all said, I’m sure better heuristics and techniques will become available so here’s hoping it gets easier in the future!

Would probably be possible on a game by game basis tho which would be a lot of work but technically possible

dudewitbow,

I dont believe fluid frames reuires motion vectors as a hard requirement, else the driver level option where you force a game to use the function would never work (which is a feature).

However so far, fluid frames is only available on DX11 and DX12 titles, so many emulators would not have acess to the option. Switch emulation, and PS3 emulation which would need it the most, dont use directx

lupec,

Ah, fair. I forgot that driver level option was a thing. Hopefully they manage to make it work with Vulkan eventually.

ono,

so far, fluid frames is only available on DX11 and DX12 titles

Given how similar Vulkan is to Direct3D 12, it seems likely to be supported before long.

dudewitbow,

I think the flags exist, its just not implemented yet as AMD is being pushed to get it out sooner than later due to the long delays. But in a state where it isnt an abysmal feature (e.g DLSS 1.0)

DebatableRaccoon, do gaming w Star Wars: Jedi 3 is on the way, according to Cal Kestis actor Cameron Monaghan

It’d be nice if they fixed the last one before moving onto the next. At least the balance is restored, these are definitely EA products; the high quality of the first game was just a blip.

epicsninja, do games w AR horror Scrylight will "blur the boundaries of what’s real and what isn't"

So it’s a horror game that only works in houses with modern appliances.

vaultdweller013,

Behold my stuff!

Pile of old as shit appliances

smeg,

Granting a third party full access to all the questionably-secured devices in your home is the real horror

taladar,

To an IT person a house full of “smart” devices is already a horror to behold.

smeg,

You know what they say, the S in IoT stands for Security!

ASK_ME_ABOUT_LOOM, do games w Why does everyone swear so much in The Witcher 3?

Gotta wonder how many people are down voting because they think the title is moralizing, when it’s anything but that.

There’s nothing like going for a nice long walk around the world of The Witcher 3 and meeting some of the locals there. They say the nicest things. “Sod off, you misborn clod,” a guard will tell me. “Got so fucked up once, blood came out me ears,” a chap at the docks will announce. Or if I’m really lucky, “Go fuck your mums tits!” What a world to live in.

The thing is, I love this about the game. Being scolded by the ruddy-faced inhabitants of The Witcher 3 has long been one of my favourite things, ever since I first played it eight years ago.

Yeah, I don’t know either. I found it an interesting read, it also goes into conversation design in games. Felt like it would be appropriate here?

simple, do games w Payday 3 players endure second consecutive day of server issues, preventing them from playing

I mean this is pretty much par for the course for any online game launch. Hey, at least some people will stop buying early access so eagerly.

Hiccup, do games w Final Fantasy 7: Ever Crisis turns Square Enix's best into an avalanche of money-grabbing tactics

Square Enix is no longer square enix. They need to take a hard look in the mirror, like capcom, to see who they truly are or will see the collapse of the company. I fully expect either a Sony or Nintendo swooping in to buy them/ bail them out.

They keep fucking up and putting out/ producing garbage. I’m still pissed about how they ruined the remake.

mateomaui, do games w Unity will quietly waive controversial fees if developers switch to its ad monetisation service - report

ok, so fuck these people again

Shizu, do games w EA confirms The Sims 5 will be free-to-play and co-exist alongside The Sims 4

“Motherlode”: $4.99 for 25k Simleons

hyperhopper, do games w Starfield overtakes Skyrim with concurrent Steam players

No duh, it’s the new space Skyrim. Not really news or unexpected.

OsrsNeedsF2P, do games w RuneScape rolls back controversial pay-to-win Hero Pass in new update

Classic Jagex. runescape@lemmy.ml has monthly threads on open source Runescape emulations so you can play the game without their nonsense

FracturedEel,

That would be sweet, for os or rs3?

…+$500

Now we wait.

gk99, do gaming w The Chinese Room is developing Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2

I cannot extract a silver lining out of this announcement no matter how hard I try. This is like Activision announcing that the next Call of Duty will be made by Mojang, they’re just so fucking grossly incompatible with each other that it makes absolutely zero sense.

FlyingSquid, do games w SAG-AFTRA votes unanimously to expand its strike to include the games industry
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

Excellent! Power to the people!

regalia, do games w Baldur's Gate 3 "feels so alive" because it used mo-cap and 248 actors to bring its characters to life

Would really be cool if the devs did a tech talk on some of the techniques they used. They’re definitely ahead of the industry in a lot of the areas.

sudoshakes, (edited )

I wonder if the devs are or rather the folks who set the vision that were skilled at keeping such a complex beast going since 2016.

The end product is wonderful, but the sum of something that long in the making had more than skilled devs. It had a chain of people with faith in them that what was being created in their creative process was worth trusting, for a long time.

regalia,

GDC is always exciting because it’s a big conference of devs, mostly AAA devs, telling the technical details of their algorithms and systems. It really helps the game industry as a whole.
