Guntrigger, 2 lata temu w Why Unity's New Install Fees Are Spurring Massive Backlash Among Game Developers - IGN

I forgot it was John Riccitiello at the helm of Unity these days. That explains a lot.

Also quite interesting that he’s offloaded ~$2mil worth if Unity shares in the past year too

I’m sure others have mentioned it here, but…

Chrono Trigger.

Games that use Unity are cringe

Takeshi’s challenge I think it was called. Notoriously bullshit game on the famicon

I enjoyed Diablo2 a lot, Diablo3 was a huge disappointment and Diablo4 I did not even try. However, I can very much recommend Path of Exile!

I haven’t had an iPhone since 3GS, but I am excited for this.

I don’t plan on getting an overpriced iPhone, or an IOS device at all for that matter, but console quality games, native on mobile is exciting.

Rehash of all the previous Diablo games. No need to buy D4 as it is just built around you spending money.

Don’t you guys have phones wallets?
Blizzard was once great at making quality games.
That Blizzard doesn’t exist anymore and hasn’t in a while.

Its free-to-play but you need to buy the housing/eating/sleeping/jobs/relationships DLC.

Still have 5 more years to go for my 20th.

Still makes me feel old though.

bestturtleboy, 2 lata temu w Resident Evil Village and the Resident Evil 4 remake are coming to the iPhone 15 Pro. Apple's iPhone 15 Pro has an A17 Pro chip that enables hardware-based ray tracing for games.

Is it getting 30 or 60hz gameplay?

photonic_sorcerer, 2 lata temu w Over 50% of all steam games have never made over $1000

Honestly, that’s okay. As long as indie devs have a place where they can sell and market their games fairly.

wahming, 2 lata temu w Unity reveals plans to charge per game install, drawing criticism from development community

I guess Unity had a good run while it lasted. Time to see Godot splashscreens everywhere now

CaptDust, 2 lata temu (edited 2 lata temu)

Godot doesn’t charge a subscription fee to remove the splash screen :)

JokeDeity, 2 lata temu (edited 2 lata temu) w What games had easy soft locks that prevented you from either progressing or getting a true ending?

Not exactly the same but sort of related: the first time I played the New Vegas DLC Honest Hearts, I accidentally shot a character that is meant to be a companion, turned him and essentially all quest characters hostile and basically forced the game to direct me from the opening of the DLC to the final mission because I couldn’t do anything to side with anyone. I thought it was the shortest most bullshit DLC with not nearly enough to do for at least a few years before I played it again and realized how much I missed.

No that’s Dead Money, this was Follows-Chalk.

Mr_Buscemi, 2 lata temu

Ohhhh lol I got the names confused.

I’ll have to try that in a playthrough one day to see how it goes.

JokeDeity, 2 lata temu

But that is one of my favorite characters in the whole game.

DmMacniel, 2 lata temu w Starfield Is Seemingly Missing Entire Stars (the local 'sun') When Running On AMD Radeon GPUs

Waaaaait… it was a bug and not gross incompetence?

geosoco, 2 lata temu

I don't think we know.

Makes me wonder of the dev team is on a much-needed vacation or if they only run nvidia gpus. lol

Hildegarde, 2 lata temu

The game runs better on AMD, and Bethesda partnered with AMD in some way for this PC release.

geosoco, 2 lata temu

That really just means AMD gave them a lot of money, and they just made sure FSR2 worked. lol

Naz, 2 lata temu

I’ve got a 7900XTX Ultra, and FSR2 does literally nothing, which is hilarious.

100% resolution scale, 128 FPS.

75% resolution scale … 128 FPS.

50% resolution scale, looking like underwater potatoes … 128 FPS.

I don’t know how it’s possible to make an engine this way, it seems CPU-bound and I’m lucky that I upgraded my CPU not too long ago, I’m outperforming my friend who has an RTX 4090 in literally all scenes, indoor, ship, and outdoor/planet.

He struggles to break 70 FPS on 1080p Ultra, meanwhile I’m doing 4K Ultra.

redcalcium, 2 lata temu

Creation Engine has always been cpu-bound since gamebryo era.

Xperr7, 2 lata temu

I have noticed it's better anti-aliasing than the forced TAA (once I forced it off)

geosoco, 2 lata temu (edited 2 lata temu)

Some of the benchmarks definitely pointed out that it was CPU bound in many areas (eg. the cities).

I think the HUB one mentioned that some of the forested planets were much more GPU bound and better for testing.

I'm on a tv so capped at 60fps, but I do see a power usage difference with FSR - 75% vs FSR- 100% that's pretty substantial on my 7900xt.

Ok, can we have the monies please?

violetraven, 2 lata temu

Does it run better by not rendering light emitting objects?

Hildegarde, 2 lata temu

That’s one way to improve performance

Frog-Brawler, 2 lata temu

Perhaps. Who needs stars anyway?

booly, 2 lata temu

All GPUs perform equally well the same at ray tracing when there are no rays to trace

MooseLad, 2 lata temu

I had no idea it was a problem on Radeon GPUs. I saw a few people complaining about not seeing the stars, but I didn’t have a clue what they were talking about since it was always fine for my Nvidia card.

hoshikarakitaridia, 2 lata temu

If it’s down to very specific Chipsets, that sounds like an unforseeable bug.

Deceptichum, 2 lata temu

Correction: someone pointed out they are literally interfacing the graphics drivers the wrong way, so it’s still on the their Devs.
