Those stages were also broken into several chunks... with long loading screens between each section of the level.
He literally talked about using lossy compression just to get animations to fit into memory too!
Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart doesn't need to compress the data in a lossy way. There's no need to sacrifice the quality of the art to achieve your vision doing really crazy things like swapping entire levels out.
It doesn't mean Insomniac is cutting corners though it just means less consideration is needed to get that done with far less effort.

55 degrees?
Just 55? For the whole SoC!?
What were people freaking out about?My laptop doesn't even run that cool with both built-in fans running at nearly 6,000 RPM!
Now obviously I don't run the fans that fast (as they die real fast when they're running full-boar, learned that rendering animations). Even though those components are cheap and very easy to replace (myself), it's not something I want to repeatedly waste $14 o...
That was the only option and when people were given another option playing at home they leaped.
MS is giving an option similar to arcade vs home console, just in reverse.
How will MS subsidize this model and give the devs who opt in the money they agreed to? Seems like a pyramid scheme. Anyway the problem is now we hope devs continue making the money to make quality titles from indies to AAA blockbusters from the pennies worth of royalties MS gets from our subs whi...
I like the Crysis franchise and own all the games on Disc (which was a mistake because PC is a •••• gaming platform and to play without cracks I have to pay again).
Regardless the idea that Crysis 1, 2 and/or 3 are still better looking than even a good chunk of current gen games is objectively deluded.
First way back on PS3 there were better looking games like Uncharted 2, Killzone 3, Ratchet and Clank: In to The Nexus, Beyond: Two Souls and GT5 (GT6 was an odd sid...
Uh... video compression doesn't remove fog effects if anything high compression (lower quality video made to save space) would make the entire image look much worse if heavy alpha effects were used liberally all over the screen.
There are a lot of shortcomings with Crysis 3 on Switch that DF glossed over

Sony isn't liable but changing out the drive is covered under the warranty.
So while Sony isn't responsible for any damage they will repair or replace it if you used a compatible NVMe drive and that resulted in a bricked system so long as it happened within the warranty period. For most of us that will likely happen within our warranty period seeing as how most of us are still awaiting the opportunity to buy the system.

GT PSP stuck it out digitally until the PSP store was shut down completely at least in the US. 800 cars several licensed race tracks all in one game on that system was still online until the PSP store was closed. Apparently in AU and EU the game was delisted early in 2020, but it launched in Sep 30 2009.
It really is the only example of these games sticking around in the digital era even though it was also ultimately taken down by consequence of the PSP store services being...
PlayStation is up revenue 2% despite those drops. The reason is likely because most PS5s are still winding up in the hands of scalpers despite how many people will disagree with that statement of course there is less new software available to PS5 but why would that impact PS4 game sales too? Well it shouldn't.
That is speculation, but to me it seems clear that these consoles need to be sold in physical stores when that happens they should see a small bump in software re...
The devs host the servers which operate using PSN's protocols. Evolution Studios was closed and thusly PSN didn't host the services very long after that game dev was shuttered (despite demand it was easy to find matches up til the very end unlike KZ2 and WarHawk on PS3).
Same thing happened with every game whose development studio was closed on PlayStation's end. The games which had licensed content and online modes get removed sooner and online features shut do...
Nah MS needs to pony up the cash negotiate better contracts or use different music (the primary listed cause of each round of Forza delistings) because this is ridiculous and people should be calling it out. What happened to MS' goal of preserving games eh?
The thing is GT didn't go thru this and neither did DC until the developer was closed down.
Well PCs had to emulate consoles first. Remember?
Oh silly me why would I expect anyone to remember that consoles and arcade cabinets had GPUs first and that the latter pushed 60FPS 3D graphics first as well while consoles could also rarely achieve the lofty graphics experiences of arcade cabinets before PCs were really doing any of the above.
Then of course PS2 ushered in the era of parallel computing on GPUs.
Then PS3 did amazing things with CPU compute,...
The only reason Steam Deck needs to sell is to keep Valve interested in making more. Steam Deck play PC games. Games will continue to be made on PC there is no additional support really needed but if the Steam Deck sells well enough maybe we'll be seeing Steam Deck specific settings. If that becomes common it doesn't necessarily mean the system will do well, but it could make adoption more palatable.
This will force Nintendo's hand and maybe they'll start ma...
Those people weren't intelligent enough to do their own critical analysis about the outcomes of what they believe is a better system. There was no real brainwashing for them they took a feelgoodism and ran with it like any other shill.
Lol nice one!
That was the Beta (that lasted like 5 years). This might actually stick around.
But Driver was...
I get the OP was joking and we both know GTA5 wouldn't work on PS1, but I mean mean technically GTA 1 could've been more like Driver and as per usual if you cut out enough things I'm sure R* could get GTA5 on PS1 maybe even a GameBoy or a pocket calculator.
