One of my friends is the designer of this game! He actually did such a great job. Make sure to support it!
Also I'm hearing through the grapevine that there may be a PlayStation port coming 😜
This company has been looking for so many excuses lately:
1- It was the anti-woke crowd. (I hate the anti-woke crowd, fuck them)
2- It was the lack of interest in franchises (it's just their failure to realize those franchises)
3- Their company had grown too large
3- It is now the Organized Campaigns
Did I miss anything else?
Y'all need to fucking stop with this tired tactic of "female cuz politics", it was just not a good game enough to pique interest.
Yeah, something tells me Physical Media will be reserved more for "Collector's Edition" type limited releases. :(
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 ...
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.
Daily reminder that almost ALL Stuttering issues are caused by common bad development practices and are not inherent to the engine.
