Definitely not worth it at the moment, especially in the current economy. Better to save it for next generation.
Looking forward to not buying it full price.
As somebody who has worked with one of these. I can tell you that the tech IS there in the engine when we work on that stuff; but only if a developer chooses to use it.
Hence why we call it a tech demonstration. And when that demo comes out it takes a while for people to adapt to the new stuff, and sometimes has to be built up from the ground with all the new additions in mind (such as the World Partitions, Lumen and Nanite that launched with UE5)
Gotta q...
And the game releases back then didn't have the hurrah they did now; we'd hear about the game maybe from a magazine or a friend who's got that dope console. 😂 Good times.
Feels like I'm getting old.
Back in the day, if you were to buy a game. That'd be it. You'd get the disc, that'd be your game. No patches. No
Day 1 stuff. Nothing. 😂
Miss that time.
Agreed
Their approach to GT7 has felt very much like Live Service than any previous GT.
With Forza on PS soon, I hope Polyphony Digital finally wakes up and moves on from this GaaS stuff now that they have competition.
They've elected to think of it like an "operation cost" for GTA6, of having multiple developers on the payroll for years at a time.
T2's Rockstar is one of the only gaming companies who can afford such a luxury.
The marketing on this has to ramp up soon then. Been dead quiet since UEFest 2023?
Okay, maybe I can bring in a UE Developer perspective here:
Think of it like this. Unreal Engine is a toolbox. It now has quite a few features that took other companies careful planning and engineering over the course of YEARS to build and replicate.
That's the best it can do, Give you the tools for these amazing features.
But unlike a proprietary engine where your engineers set up your guidelines and limits, this comes quite open ende...
I mean... As sad as it is, this is what the majority of the people in the U.S. voted for, knowingly, after the past four years of recovery from economic downturn. Hope some good comes out of all this shit eventually.
I'm expecting a big resolution and FPS bump instead of marginally different effects like that.
There's a reason the trailer wasn't running at 60fps ;)
Fidelity mode will likely be capped at 30fps.
So glad MGS Delta is being done by Virtuos!
These guys are now superstars. So happy.
This man just cooked himself, lmao.
The year is 2005:
Oblivion is running like shit on Xbox.
The year 2025:
Oblivion is running like shit on Xbox. (series S :P)
lol yes it has.
Invest in agility though. makes it much faster
Honestly, I'm glad that they did it this way.
God knows it would've been scrutinized a whole lot more if it was marketed earlier lol.
I do see Physical Media making a comeback in the future with the SSD technology becoming cheaper and cheaper to produce every passing year. But it requires a big publisher effort by one of the big three. PC is already gone. Nintendo is going in this direction, but they may not be enough.
Microsoft led on with Double Layer DVDs and HD-DVD(rip lol) for 360. Sony led the way for Blu-Ray with PS3.
Whatever these two decide will be the deciding factor for the ...
