FooBarrington, 2 lata temu do games w Team17 hit by redundancies - UK firm latest to suffer layoffs

I’m confused, since I’ve already completed the game. What do you mean?

FooBarrington, 2 lata temu do games w Indie gaming is on the verge of an immersive sim eruption

Please read up on what an “immersive sim” is, because you’re plain wrong.

FooBarrington, 2 lata temu do games w Idris Elba: Actors in video games like Phantom Liberty is 'sign of the times'

I know what you mean. I love JK Simmons voice, and he’s a great VA. But if I compare his role as Omni-Man in Invincible to Ketheric Thorm in Baldur’s Gate 3, I definitely enjoy Omni-Man more, even though Ketheric is modelled after his real face.

No, there’s also a bunch of changes like higher tick rates and volumetric smoke grenades. It’s pretty cool

This kind of decision is not made by marketing.

It depends a lot on the source picture, but it’s definitely not a general problem inherent to AI upscaling. Otherwise there wouldn’t be so many positive examples of ESRGAN.

That’s not inherent to “AI upscaling” as a process. ESRGAN for example is pretty good at upscaling pictures while keeping the quality.

FooBarrington, 2 lata temu do games w Game wikis just aren't as popular anymore?

Monopolies aren’t defined by the availability of alternatives. It’s based on the market share captured by a single entity. We’d need to see statistics to determine if it’s a total monopoly, but I’m not aware of many other hosting platforms for game wikis. Maybe fextralife?

FooBarrington, 2 lata temu do games w NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 rumors: 2.9 GHz boost clock, 1.5 TB/s bandwidth and 128MB of cache

That’s also just 24GB, right?

24GB to 32GB of VRAM? That’s highly disappointing. I’d have expected a bigger increase for AI workloads.

There is a portal VR game which has been out for a couple of years: store.steampowered.com/app/…/Portal_Stories_VR/

It’s short, but really fun!

And by pushing the responsibility onto the consumer, all you do is support the shitty business practices of the manufacturer.

The lower graphics quality is because the GPU can’t do math. There’s no way to mitigate that.

Yes, which is why the CPU isn’t the problem. It’s the GPU.

It’s also absolutely none of the work involved in a port. The work on a port is entirely making the actual mechanics function on a CPU that was terrible for mobile years before the switch launched.

Please share a source for this. A game like MK1 doesn’t need a lot of CPU power, because there just isn’t anything complicated happening. It’s all GPU that’s missing.

FooBarrington, 2 lata temu do games w $70 Mortal Kombat 1 Switch version called "robbery" as graphical comparisons flood the internet

Physics are calculated by the CPU, but a game like MK1 doesn’t have many physics to calculate - almost everything is pre-made animations. Particles are updated by the CPU, but rendered by the GPU.

And yeah, that’s why my point was that it’s not the CPU that is limiting the graphics.

In this particular case, it’s not on the publisher. The switch is an old console, and there’s only so much they can do with the hardware. It’s not a particularly big surprise to anybody familiar with the technology.

Then they should be open about this before and during release.

Why SHOULDN’T we hold consumers to task for their bad decisions?

Because it doesn’t work. One side of the equation spends lots of money to make sure as many consumers as possible make bad decisions, because it makes them even more money. You can’t fix this only by changing the other side.
