General Chit-Chat Thread: A New Beginning

they making games too much for ppl with 5k pcs and not making sure joe gamer can still play and it looks good and not laggy as balls

 

[Barry Poppins]

Exactly.

 

[Comrade Khan]

Games leaning more and more into graphical fidelity rather than just fun gameplay, and it's become something of a graphical arms race to see who can put together the "best looking" game.

yeah i mean its always had that to a degree but weve hit a bit of a point wheres its like yo lets make sure these games can actually run lol

 

[Barry Poppins]

To make an example, I mean, look at Resident Evil Remake.

 

[Comrade Khan]

and like i have a nice pc lol, im not suffering

 

[Comrade Khan]

but there should not be games running under 60 fps on consoles in 2024 that shit is unnacceptable imo

 

[Comrade Khan]

and charging ppl 90 for that

 

[Comrade Khan]

just no lol

 

[Butters]

console still thinks 30fps is norm and 60 is luxury

 

[Butters]

120 is for like 4 games

 

[Barry Poppins]

It still looks like a beautiful game even though it's like 22 years old, and it doesn't require extreme graphics to run fast, just a decent cpu and decent graphics card.

 

[Butters]

fixed angles and pre rendered backgrounds do it wonders

because they tried pushing to 4k pre-emptively and soiled their pantaloons in the process

 

[Comrade Khan]

ats my opinion on the matter. 4k was a huge mistake. tvs being 4 k is hell for consoles

Exactly, it's graphical workarounds that still work extremely well.
