The thing is that it may not be as simple as that, what you describe is what we (as the end user) see and assume when we choose each option with a push of a button but the work that goes in those options is most likely much more complex and complicated than what we think when we simply change a setting in the options menu.
Also people forget how much things like budget/manpower and each studio’s different priorities for their game can affect things like frame-rate & the overall fidelity (among other things)…games take way longer to be made in the last 8 years compared to what it was back in the 360 era/they cost way more so from my little understanding developers and publishers have to make decisions and set priorities for their projects so most of the time something has to be paired back either it’s ambition in game design, fidelity or content. This was always the case and it always will be, especially for 500e boxes with fixed hardware and at a time where game development is more complex, time consuming and expensive than ever.
Exactly, the “accursed” cross gen period is a blessing in disguise for the new consoles in most cases…and since you brought up the Matrix UE5 demo I am sure that we will see some incredible things that will make our jaws drop from the usual suspects like The Coalition, Playground, 4A Games, id, Santa Monica, Naughty Dog e.t.c. but those (like last gen) will be the exception and not the rule. To be honest I think that the Ray Tracing factor will dictate how most games will run this gen, how and if it’s gonna be used will probably set the goals in frame-rates more than anything. Curious to see how this will go.
Apart from “wah, series s” as a response, is there a real reason that 60fps isn’t the default for games these days?
I’m not asking for a slider necessarily but it does seem interesting that there has been a slide back to 30fps recently. Is it the tech that teams are using?
I am not that bothered by frames - sometimes I can’t tell the difference.
If you’re replaying Dead Space because of the Remake, you can get all the DLC from the perks with your GP Ultimate subscription. There is like 8-10 small DLC but that’s like 5$ a piece or 400 MS points back in the day. Xbox is thinking ahead for this one. That’s nice.
I was behind in my emails and just now realized I missed the Street Fighter 6 beta even though I was sent a code. dammit, I really wanted to try it too.
You didnt miss much tbh. It was a test for character creation and their new hub for multiplayer. You could only play online versus other players and I was awful because there was no way to train against AI or I didn’t find it in the menu.
Game looks great and seems extremely fun, but yeah, it was a real beta test this time so there was not much fun to have as a casual player.
Possibly leaked Dead Space Remake gameplay. 40 minutes. Only watched a few minutes of Part 1 as there’s four videos about 10 minutes each. Shit looks awesome!!!
I think he deleted it. He probably shouldn’t come back though. I don’t think he’s a bad person in real life, but his “Twitter character” became snobbish and maybe the overuse of social media was mental health draining.
