[@buddykaiser2380]

This isn't a jab at all young game developers but it seems to me that once all of the older devs retired or left for other ventures a lot of the younger crowd of devs that take their place are out of touch with a good portion of gamers. I think a lot of them forget or just don't care that a decent portion of gamers are older (of which there are a lot) and these older gamers don't really vibe with some of the aspects of new culture and styles that these younger devs are incorporating into today's games. Personally I think these devs need to take that into account and maybe try to find a happy medium somehow. I mean, I think that's obvious when you take into account games like Saints Row Repoop and For(skin)spoken. It wasn't just bad gameplay mechanics and bugs that made them fail. Especially with Saints Row. While there are obviously young fans of Saints Row the huge majority are going to be the now older adult gamers who grew up playing the franchise. There were some idiotic choices from higher up in Deep Silver and with-in the devs to market the game solely to a younger demographic. I think even most younger gamers found those characters extremely cringe AF. Unfortunately we live in a time where a lot of these devs/studios can't help but not only insert themselves into the game but also current cultural beliefs. These are the very things that most gamers are trying to escape when they play a game. Its fine if they do that and the game is marketed that way but to have that stuff in fantasy games just kills the escapism.

[@CrowAthas]

Dishonored was one of my favorite immersive sim rpgs of all time, I LOVED the cultural background of the world, i watched the behind the scenes interviews and how they drew inspiration from celtic Triskle in their symbols and pirates folklore.. I was amazed at Dishonored 2 by the details in the environment with how improved the graphics were and how consistent the story was with the old dlcs... Redfall was not only a disappointing game, but another proof of how in such uncertain times there are no quality assurances anymore. A brand name is empty for no work ethic remains the same from one project to the next. The market is both unpredictable and hysterical and only the finished product can be judged. It is sad but a lesson for any that care to learn from their hopes and dreams, both as a consumer and as a developer

[@cookiemonster59263]

Dishonored was made by the studio in Lyon, France under the direction of Raphael Colantonio and Harvey Smith while Redfall was made in Austin, Texas. Colantonio recently left the studio in France and Smith took over, though apparently he provided some degree of direction for Austin at the same time as well.

[@theocan]

With the approach of Fall, I was honestly considering coming back due to it's vibrant Autumnal colours & sleepy American hamlet vibes. Then I realised that Oh, NO ONE has talked about this game since release. Which means it was completely abandoned. So I very quickly changed my mind, downloaded Short Hike, Firewatch, Coffee Talk & Costume Quest. It's a shame too as this could have been the easy pick for a comfy, slightly spooky Halloween title.. But they just butchered it so badly and when they had the chance to do something about it, they instantly backed out. Considering this and Deathloop, my love of Arkane has very much vanished.

[@WarPoodle-pc5wu]

I just downloaded Firewatch! Forgot all about that game. No reason I haven't played it by now, but super excited to play it, once I get bored with Starfield or the fall vibes get to be too much to resist

[@LilyMaeBlossom]

Officially the game was completed. Full story, full world, and all. It's so damn small you wouldn't know, but the "plot" (heh, saying this game has a plot) comes to a resolution, so all they'd do is patch fixes and DLC, and why do that when you've already got your money, right?

[@K0M1N0]

The reason DLSS was actually hurting performance was because you were actually CPU limited rather than GPU limited. DLSS lowers internal resolution which frees up resource on the GPU, but actually slightly increases utilisation on the CPU, hence losing frames. You can often tell when you're CPU limited when your GPU utilisation isn't consistently hitting or near 100%. if this is ever the case dont use upscaling. DLSS frame gen on the other hand CAN help when CPU bottlenecked, just DLSS upscaling and FSR wont.

[@SpartanSharpshot]

This. That'll be common when you're running a $1,800 graphics card that the GPU is outpacing the CPU in select titles.

[@Lecruidant]

Come on man. You're giving a "Content creator" too much credit. Why would they remotely do any research into; what these things do when throwing money at cards for no reason but having lesser hardware elsewhere in the build. Seeing shit like this more and more.

You''re saying that a 5950x is bottlenecking a 3080?

[@samzilla567]

I'm still baffled how Redfall even survived the pitch meeting. "Okay guys, our next game will be an open world immersive sim, but it will also be a 4 player co-op twitch shooter where you kill vampires. Also it's Always Online Only, and there's no active matchmaking or drop in/drop out Co-op in the game despite that."

[@JoeMikeGent]

I believe there is evidence that the game we got was a complete redo from what they were originally working on. Something about contract issues and the acquisition. Been a while but I know there are a few vis about it on KZbin. Basically we got a game that took them a little over a year to make vs a game they had already been working on for years.

[@TommyCrosby]

Hey, after No Man's Sky, I swear that any major developers should be able to fix their games especially those that were mismanaged like this one. But this won't happen, closing studios and shutting down games make more sense to the big wigs in control (the same one that orchestrated the failure).

It all depends what you're trying to achieve. Hello Games wanted to restore their reputation and they've succeeded. When they announce a new game, people will be excited about it whereas if they quickly gave up on NMS, they might as well just shut the doors as no-one would go near any of their games again. Similarly with Cyberpunk - it destroyed CD Projekt's reputation which prior to that game, was extremely good. They had to continue working on the game to earn trust back. Other developers/publishers don't care so much. I'm sure Arkane would have liked to fix this game but Bethesda most likely called the shots here and their reputation is crap already. Everyone knows that when you see the word "Bethesda" as a game loads up, you're going to see poor performance and lots of bugs.

[@Fezzy976]

You are CPU limited in this game. The game uses a single master thread and then only a few other threads on the CPU. At native you can see your GPU is only at around 70% usage, then when you enable DLSS the resolution drops and so does your GPU usage. The GPU is waiting for the CPU to send it new frames to render, DLSS only adds more performance if you are GPU limited (aka 99% GPU usage). Try using DLAA, this renders at native resolution but uses DLSS as TAA and can produce better image quality than native TAA and it could help push the GPU usage up higher.

[@roadside360]

It's honestly a bit impressive to me that they managed to make a game that was supposed to be Left 4 Dead but with vampires as boring as they did There are so many things they could've drawn from that mythos that pretty much makes the enemy variety built-in to the core premise

[@NoodleKeeper]

[@MrMeanh]

Regarding DLSS: If you use it while limited by the CPU at native resolution (as Luke is in this case as seen by the GPU usage being low) you get no performance increase by using DLSS. In some cases, like this one, you even see a slight decrease in performance since DLSS also takes some time to run. If Luke wants better performance in this game he needs to either lower settings that impact the CPU, OC his CPU/ram or upgrade his CPU/ram.

[@travisadams6279]

"If Luke wants better performance in this game he needs to either lower settings that impact the CPU, OC his CPU/ram or upgrade his CPU/ram." And that is the problem. This game and its graphics should not warrant such a hardware requirement. Its ludicrous.

This is normal for dlss and the same is other games. When dlss is turned on CPU usage is increased so if you are in a CPU bottleneck which you were fps will not increase with dlss but actually decrease because the CPU will become even more bottlenecked. Dlss can only get you higher fps if the GPU is the bottleneck. In your video you can see the low GPU usage. The CPU says it's overall usage is low but in reality only a couple cores are being used and maxed out causing a bottleneck

[@reveragew]

The fact you kept doing this stuff is amazing

[@samglover2246]

“Sins of the Father” in the background was subtle, but much appreciated.

[@melcorchancla9431]

You’re getting worse performance with DLSS because the game is cpu bottlenecked at that framerate while lowering resolution lowers the amount of work for the GPU, so lowering resolution doesn’t change performance. Also, DLSS adds a bit of work to the cpu, which is why it runs a bit worse. Being cpu bottlenecked is very common in open world games with huge GPUs like you’re at high framerates. Also, you can enable DLAA instead of TAA, it’s much better. You can see your GPU usage is at around 70-80%, only turn on DLSS when your GPU is at 98-99%. Cpu bottlenecks are different as your cpu son’t use all cores to 100% percent but might be limited by one core that is fully maxed out.

Regardless of the, “majority,” opinion, there will be people out there who are playing the game (maybe spent real money on it?) and are waiting for the improvements. They matter. So, the lack of any evidence of improvement, at any level tells us rather a lot about the company behind it. And how much value we can put in certain people’s words, for future reference.

DLSS has many uses for the consumer. Some use it to save on electricity by maintaining visual quality while asking the GPU to perform less taxing operations. Increasing performance is certainly the main point, but it's meant to be used with ray tracing to get games to desirable ranges (30 fps, 60 fps, etc) while performing very taxing real-time ray marching/path tracing. DLSS is not an excuse for poor asset streaming due to poorly optimized engines, and isn't always guaranteed to be a superior performance. I would focus on the settings you want to enable that would be more difficult at higher resolutions. I found that the biggest benefit I observed was not being punished for cranking up settings and also perceiving a high resolution. It makes achieving your peak perceptual experience easier, even if that just means saving on your electric bill lol.

I’m really appreciative of these updates from Jedi Survivor and Red Fall. It’s nice to see studios carrying and going back and fixing their games to make them playable.

[@garrick3727]

I like the rambling. It was a fair point as well. Obviously it's situational whether rambling is fun or gets in the way. If you've ever watched any of Simon Whistler's stuff where he cold reads a script but then goes off on his own tangents, it's entertaining 90% of the time but sometimes you just want him to get the f on with it, usually when the script gets to a "And the killer is ...." type cliffhanger moment. Also, rambling proves you're not AI.

I'd have comeplely forgotten this game existed if not for video like this one.

[@willthelemon5681]

I love the idea of an eastern coastal town with weird vampire stuff going on. Heck Scooby Doo Mystery Incorporated did this suuuuuper well in a TV show form. Making it single player focused with optional co-op element could have been so much fun. The artstyle is neat and the idea of the town frozen in time is cool. Maybe the town should be populated with mystery solving elements then when shit hits the fan the town freezes and the townsfolk are no where to be seen. That sounds like a game id play. But nope...we can't have creativity anymore. We need to maximize our profits and god forbid we dont meet these huge goals.

For what its worth i enjoyed your side-rant about Titanic and glad that it stayed in.

[@Warranty_Droid]

i think one of the issues with redfalls performance is all the blood fog around, which seems to be what i found back when i played, considering how dense it is, due to it being a particle system, say instead of a floating png like some other games use and stack, making it CHUG real hard when it has to load all the fog in at times, thats my theory anyway.

[@simonrockstream]

This isnt a game you "simply fix". There is nothing to be fixed. It's a complete waste of space.

[@Lilith2718]

The whole "it will be good eventually" just sounds the same excuse of "it will get good after X hours". If it is going to be good after that, why not from the start.

They are not obligated to do DLC, gotta read the fine print in that picture you showed at 20:07. 'Content subject to change' aka 'Content subject to never exist if we want'.

[@MonkDave666]

Spent months looking forward to this game, and honestly would still consider buying it if it was like $15. The setting was such a cool idea, very Stephen King / 30 Days of Night-esque... I have a pretty decent rig but I'd be happy to not have everything on ultra if it meant getting around 90 fps. Still, I really wish they'd just fix it in full, get DLSS locked in, etc.

[@ilegti]

Wow, did not expect an interesting deep dive into Titanic plot holes! 😄

[@alishafqat9404]

All you have to do is see the updates it receives after launch and you will know its not fixed and won't be anytime soon. Anyone who saw the game could tell it needs at least a year of development before it becomes a decent game. So my guess is sometime in summer next year we will get 60FPS. Lots of bug fixes and some systems overhauls.

"Ur just hate farming" could be a great metaphor to the healthy, not disable people who are so lazy, they didn't wanted to work 9-5 office job in the "dehumanizing" cramped, cubicle, desk in front of a screen, but for gaming. Kinda like modern day twitch streamer, but without having to see the sunlight or people.

Was unfortunate enough to buy this with a freind :(. I am fully convinced this game Will never be finished, and im just waiting for the studio to be shut Down or split to atoms. Their silence proves, that Nobody wants anything to do with this game

[@elvickRULES]

Gollum devs shouldn’t have been killed that seemed like a corporate/suit pushing for something the team was ill equipped to do. Their other games weren’t anything like it. And frankly their normal style may have better suited Gollum. If for no reason other than their inexperience at making a game like, say Styx.

Hey man! So, I played through this campaign twice with the Crypto-Hunter guy, Um he was Indian I think. I had so much fun in spite of the bugs. The story was meh, enemy AI was a joke, gun-play was substandard at best. All that... and I found a way to have fun. I hope they fix this wreck and keep to the promise of more content as IMO this has potential.

Did him being Indian enhance the gameplay or smth?

@@Nagataeatscorn Not really. I did think he was sometimes adorably nerdy, I pointed out race to help identify him as non players won't know he is a crypto hunter. Sorry no racial gotcha.

Redfall: when a studio doesn't like the game that they make

[@zacharybrendlen9018]

I "liked" redfall, but it is a pretty bad game. The idea, atmosphere, and approach are genuinely good. Where they failed was they didn't make it fun. It feels like the core loop was an afterthought and they tried to find a way to fit gameplay into their idea, instead of making a fun mechanic/ loop, and creating a game around it. As a result, the wrong things were prioritized and it failed
