[@PLAYER_42069]

Our minds process things a lot faster if we are engaged/interested in them. That's why it seems like time is moving faster when we're having fun versus when we are bored with something. It's the same principle that applies to dreams and REM sleep. You can live whole days, weeks in a dream and only sleep four, or five hours in real time because our brains are creating and processing the dream (world) simultaneously.

[@charlieseeber2810]

That doesn't make sense to me because I move my head down to look down. But what I was thinking, in a 3rd person view the camera is fixed to the character so if you move the camera/analog down then the view looks upwards. But inverted controls are jank.

[@arthurdsjrjbr]

As a Game Developper I must say, the Horizons Zero Dawn trick that make the map and objects not rendered when not looking is called Occlusion Culling, It is pretty much a standard technique in today's game making. But the innovation tht comes with this game as that it hides the pieces of the terrain and geography of the map as well. Normally the Occlusion Culling is used only on objects, and the map itself is all rendered because it's (generally) only 1 giant thing that you're constantly looking at. Even I myself have used this technique in a game before Horizons, back in 2016.

[@Nate-BreakingPoint-Interactive]

Yeah I've been using Occlusion Culling in Unity for years

[@AIIEYESONME]

Yeah, and it goes all that way back to Bethesda's GameBryo engine, *2001. that was their big trick to streaming a wide open 3D world back then.

[@AM-vb5qj]

None of this is new. Some of the culling effects are as old as 3D gfx in gaming. Terrain is not a one big mesh (unless you make it that way). It's divided into chunks, it's also dynamically tessellated (quite an old stuff). You have frustum culling which renders only the stuff in the camera (this is like 30 years old tech) and you have object culling which checks if any objects occludes other objects (again, probably ~10-20 years old tech).

[@sonnyjgray4498]

I would say horizons is not using Occlusion Culling or Frustum Culling, not in the traditional sense. Normally the level would be loaded to the gpu, where it can be culled by the cpu to lower the data needed to be transferred, you might have some gpu level culling as well with the camera. However in Horizons I am pretty sure they have cached brushes loaded on to the gpu, and a procedure for the level at a given position and direction. Meaning they build the level per frame from cached pieces as needed. Not cull and load then render, but just generate and render, sorta like gpu instancing. This means there is no level loaded and they are not culling rendered objects from the scene, but only ever making and rendering what is needed. I could be wrong.

Iirc this was also used in N64 emulation back in the day to improve performance. Because devs were concerned it wasn't perfect, it could be turned off.

@@MrKuger9 Yeah but we can't deny that Silent Hill did bring quite a bit of innovation to the horror game market, fog covering up the loading times, giving an atmosphere and hiding enemies only to have them pop out of the fog, the radio static letting you know when there's an enemy nearby, as well as the camera angle stuff when you get to that alleyway near the start of the game

[@MrKuger9]

Jargon Madjin I’m just saying a lot of old games are like because of system they ran on weren’t powerful enough to render complex 3D models over long distances.

[@guyravid7842]

I think one of my favourite examples of this is the first stage of the first Mario game. It teaches you the entire game almost without a tutorial on the first screen. You start off a bit to the left, so that you instinctively go right, the direction of the game. And the first goomba and question mark block are placed in such a way so that if you try to jump over it on proper flow, you hit the block, triggering the mushroom, and fall on the goomba teaching you they can be jumped on. All within the first 5 seconds. Amazing.

Lots of games do something like this. WoW would have you go through a long tunnel under a mountain between zones (at least in the old days). FFXI would do a similar thing where you walk this long, winding path where hills obscure your view of where you're going and where you came from.

The procedurally generated foliage and not rendering stuff that’s not visible (culling) are pretty common techniques across the whole industry

[@JargonMadjin]

We had culling as far back as Crash Bandicoot way back in 1996

[@faduci]

What makes Horizon Zero Dawn interesting is not just the procedurally generated foliage (which is an old technique), but that they used a rule based world description, e.g. a location close to water has certain types of plants that attract certain types of animals. Typically procedurally generated foliage is just "fill this marked area more or less randomly with a mixture of plant objects given as a list". And the video shown for #1 was simple frustum culling, removing objects outside the field of view, a very common technique, while the description Falcon gave referred to dynamic terrain streaming. Horizon Zero Dawn actually does a lot of very innovative performance optimizations, the video just presents them badly or by showing unrelated effects.

[@firstdondiego]

Interesting thing about the day 1 patch I learned a while ago was that a lot of times, the patch was to optimize the game for each platform. Apparently when the ps4 and Xbox 1 first launched, there was quite a disparity between performance despite both having identical hardware. Like they would raise the resolution of games on the ps4 while lowering it on the xb1. They were doing this because Microsoft wouldn't allow games to be published on their platform if it was different in any way from the other platforms. So to get around this developers just released the games the same then optimized it with a day 1 patch.

[@dudesons420]

“3D” grass in older games. Itll follow your character / camera as you walk around it making it look like a bush or grass tuft. But when you stand over top of it you can see that its flat “ 2D “ and it just follows the camera / player.

[@TheTattorack]

Number 1 is called Occlusion Culling and it was first developed by Naughty Dog for their game Crash Bandicoot on the PS1. They wanted to make their levels look more interesting and filled with detail instead of having bland corridors to run through, but the PS1 couldn't handle that, so they developed the tech of Occlusion Cupping.

[@JargonMadjin]

One trick used often (I don't know if MC3 is one of them but) is to use a post processor "fish eye" effect to make objects around the edges of the screen look stretched and the center look more like proper proportions--things like wheels will be round toward the center and elongated at the sides of the screen. Used with focus blur (where the center of the screen is more focused while edges are "fuzzy") and increase/decreasing how pronounced the effect with your speed creates a dramatic effect.

[@TesserLink]

Most games use that method you explained in horizon zero Dawn, its called occlusion culling.

[@kathoden135]

and Frustum culling

[@PLAYER_42069]

It's also why a lot of bad console-to-PC ports run poorly on the PC because the culling isn't working and makes the PC try and render everything like the FFXV demo did. Even PC hardware has its limits...

How about Mass Effect 2? At the beginning, Miranda asks you questions about the events of Mass Effect 1, under the guise of testing Shephard's memory after having been reanimated. What was actually happening was that Mass Effect 1's last save occurs before your final encounter, after which key decisions are made (save the council, who becomes the human council member). As a result, they can't get that data from your safe file when imported into ME2. To remedy this they simply ask you what you decided, but disguise it so that you don't know they're doing it.

Buy me Skittles alright GTA V

[@Tabryne]

Or the ingame items that are xx% off! I'm curious who would even think of buying them if they weren't at the "reduced" cost.

[@jacobdriver6511]

I would listen to Spotify whenever I played ds3 and everyone was saying that the dancer was super hard but I beet it 2nd try so I mean I guess I know why now

[@kartn6832]

You play inverted?!! Finally!! I'm not alone anymore!

[@brianwallace2038]

That Halo "look up" trick is sooo cool

[@ailithic5448]

I think Layers of Fear 1, shows the fragility of occlusion culling.. or how demanding it is.

[@JeffDAPG]

I always have to play on inverted because it's more "aerodynamic" hahaha

[@1George2]

Cool cool!! More of those insights of game development!

[@TheShinakuma20]

You guys did a mini Boundary Break episode, awesome!

[@cricketscoffee7478]

5:32 you play inverted AND on the wrong stick falcon???

[@dorienrose9982]

Man, it bothered me too. Lol

[@Etchfamilyguy]

Probably a Lefty

[@PLAYER_42069]

As a right handed player, I immediately noticed that, too... But then again, that's the layout for South Paws.

[@paulbeach8949]

i play inverted and im a lefty but left stick gotta be move and right aim

[@NovlexGaming]

No god of war with its no loading screens and never ever leaving the main characters side?

[@tomstonemale]

Pretty sure that exists since Jak and Daxter

[@JRPG1191]

Batman: Arkham Knight did this too (no hate towards God of War).

[@JargonMadjin]

@@JRPG1191 God of War was long before Arkham, but the point still stands on God of War and Jak and Daxter pulling off that trick, can we all just appreciate how innovative Naughty Dog is though? From culling and vertex animation in Crash 1 to no loading screens in Jak and Daxter to the Uncharted 2 train

[@JRPG1191]

Jargon Madjin true. Wasn’t he talking about GOW 2018 tho? If he means the first one in 2005 then my mistake.

[@GameLikeYouMeanIt]

Video games are a technical marvel in many ways. Just more things to love I guess

[@HappyDude1]

Thx falcon Now i know whey there a lot of cutscene 😁 But when a game is made for ps4 and also for pc do they change the game engine so i can use more ram and gpu power ?

[@mikobaker7380]

I'm currently developing a game and I approve this message :)

Drop the “Ben the” and just call it Burglar

The inverted trick! Please I want that in everything 💕

It's amazing how much work goes into making games.

This is one of your best videos keep up the good work guys

[@skystrife_gaming7949]

The dancer does follow the time signature but her theme is the only one in 3/4 which feels muuuuch different that the typical 4/4 of most of the other bosses! It’s pretty cool how they threw that loop in :)

This should've been titled how developers develop games

[@Hyorinmaruice]

Horizon Zero Dawn is one of my favorite games of all time. On it's own, the story was just so cool. The gameplay was good. But then the visuals? They just blow it out of the water. The rendering trick was my favorite thing to learn about in this video.

[@JargonMadjin]

The culling trick is over two decades old though

[@Hyorinmaruice]

@@JargonMadjin Horizon zero dawn rendering and even so, I learned it in this video so it's still a true statement =P

[@Specter_1125]

The dancer actually follows the time signature of the music, but the music follows the time significantly of a waltz, which is hard to pick up and much rarer.
