​@@kookesstuff I'm wondering how the minimize the space and second what was the reason that it took so much space

[@Bliss467]

Could be super sampling to keep similar texture quality at lower sizes, or cutting down the draw distance. Could be they switched to sending texture data over the web instead of leaving it all on-device. Most likely they just cleaned up a bunch of unused garbage the player never sees.

[@Truck-kun11]

I wonder what crazy things they have planned for Natlan to make these changes necessary

[@Bliss467]

Higher res textures or higher poly models. That or areas that demand more assets loaded at once.

[@Bliss467]

Oh, and rumored mounts, meaning you can traverse things much faster meaning the device needs to be able to swap stuff in memory more rapidly. That is most likely the largest culprit.

I wish on mobile they would just fix the character icons in place instead of having them shuffle whenever you switch your character. It forces you to keep an eye on the right side of the screen so you don't accidentally switch to the wrong character.

[@Nowaylarry]

I think the most egregious result of trying to minimize the game's file size is that story/lore relevant events can't stick around for players that missed them. I'm not talking about the rewards but plot. Things like the Sus Albedo event, GGA (1 and 2), etc. They could work around that issue by making the event quests downloadable content that could be removed manually after completing them.

[@Minjoie]

hello, to worried people. game designer here who recently received why they are maximizing the requiremenet as per my friend, NATLAN will more like story based quests which means, it wont be like normal archon quest like past where you can make decisions or stop. genshin is turning into STORY TELLING GAME for some patches from now since we are at 45% of plot so since, they will have to devlop 'story telling interactive design' devices might need more power.

[@rekyotasonnoka7143]

Source?

[@Minjoie]

@rekyotasonnoka7143 some leakers. Im not lying trust me. The next archon quest will be more of story telling so more cut scenes and cut scenes with interaction needs alot of performance

[@Charly_Bear]

@@Minjoiewow, if that’s true that is going to be incredible. I did notice that in the recent music event there seemed to be some unique custom animations during the dialogue that wasn’t just their idles reused. Maybe they were experimenting with the idea of having intractable cutscenes?

[@Minjoie]

@Charly_Bear that's what i am saying. As a game designer. Making interactive cutscenes are very demanding of performance because your whole processor would be rendering all of the scenes rather than playing a video for example. And yes, it is confirmed that from now genshin will make more of those quest, and other archon quest will be more of story telling intercative cutscenes rather than, just walking around.

[@Tovy]

Didn't you see that they drastically reduced the game size by removing some graphical render distance just recently?

[@ExtrnalSorce2]

I don't think render distance affects file size though? Whether you render it or not, it doesn't affect whether it exists in the game already.

As a mobile player for 3 years now, I can say the UI isn't too bad, at least in my opinion. I can see why people may think it is or what have you but I suppose after playing mobile Genshin for a long while, you just get used to it. Though that could be said about any platform.

I built my PC back then in 2019. It is still going strong so I will welcome this new update with open arms... but I wished they could increase the graphics drawing distance in PC.

[@scorpioedc7979]

Well, when much better Cel Shaded games like Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom are able to run on a lower power machine (the Nintendo Switch) but Hoyoverse needs to downgrade the so-called upcoming graphical upgrade of Genshin Impact on PS4, that really says something about the capability of Nintendo. The Nintendo Switch was being referred to a be relatively lower power than PS4 because one time Capcom requested more memories on the Switch if Nintendo wants something like Monster Hunter World to be able to run on the Switch. Anyway, later Capcom was still able to create a Cel Shaded Monster Hunter Rise for the Switch. Both Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom have way better animation (like the horse riding animation and stealth moving animation) and having complex mechanics of physics (like picking up objects, throwing objects, rolling objects, breaking a pair of ropes holding a bridge with arrows, building vehicles from objects etc. etc.) than Genshin Impact. Hopefully, there is no such thing as downgrading an upgrading of Genshin Impact on PS4 so that Hoyoverse can show themselves to the industry that they are comparable with Nintendo in terms of capability although Hoyoverse is using a third party engine (Unity). By the way, an upgrading of a game needs a downgrading to a level lower than before upgrading so as to get it run on the so-called low power machines.......what a backward incompatible shame.

[@Tundra_Hunter]

There's no need to worry about the requirements going up. It's just misinfo. They're making it so that lower end specs will sacrifice more graphical fidelity for perfomance, and vice-versa for higher end specs. You will be able to run Genshin on any device you can run it on now, some things will just look worse and run better.

[@scorpioedc7979]

@@Tundra_Hunter It is not about the requirements going up but a backward compatible upgrade with respect to PS4. "some things will just look worse and run better" and that is the problem. A backward compatible upgrade means everything either stays the same for machines which are not able to support the upgrade or better for machines which are able to support the upgrade. I have no performance issue playing this game on PS4. In other words, the so-called performance increased but graphically worsen means a downgrade not an upgrade.

@@yoiko89 PS4 will have same graphics in low end android after the so-called graphical upgrade?

Anyway, I am going to get a PS5 sometimes this year but I am not buying the PS5 for Genshin Impact but Dragon's Dogma 2 and Rise of the Rōnin. I am not going to waste the PS5 storage for this 100 gig Genshin Impact - the same size as GTA5. Both the graphics and the gameplay mechanics complexity of Genshin Impact are relatively lower than Breath of the Wild (14 gig) and Tears of the Kingdom (16 gig) as these two Nintendo games need to run on a relative low power console, the Switch with limited storage space compared with PS4. As a whole, the animations, cinematic and gameplay mechanics (except combat) of Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom are way batter than Genshin Impact and these two Nintendo games do not need 100 gig and a high power console to run these high quality graphics and gameplay mechanics. This is really a disappointment if the so-called upgrade actually is a downgrade for PS4.

​@@MinjoieI'll take anything atp, trying to get a very cheap 200$ build lmao

[@Minjoie]

@@catraaa5261 Honestly me too, i do work but i have to give all of my income to my parents because we are bit financially weak. All my income goes into groceries and rent lol. I wish i could afford a new phone, the one i got is samsung F22 4G. It used to run genshin a bit but now it worse and im like sobbing for natlan.

[@shiro-akane]

are you really a "free to play" player when you need to buy a new phone just for playing genshin?

[@lordkaiser1404]

i'm still waiting for android controller support and newer characters and weapons at the paimon shop..

[@LadyHermes]

Afaik, it's still not possible to revert Y axis with keyboard and mouse on PC, only with controller.

[@ExtrnalSorce2]

You can you just need to change external settings or download software that does it outside of the game

[@LadyHermes]

@@ExtrnalSorce2 Yeah but if you do that, mouse will also be inverted in the menus and everywhere else. You could probably assign a keyboard shortcut to toggle the inversion but it's not very practical.

[@kentstark3104]

i find mobile controls easier... Even i have PS5, i play the story quest on PS5, but when i go Spiral Abyss... i Always go for Mobile, i dont know, maybe i just got used to it..

[@kagaminelen2652]

i would get a pc if i had the money to, i’ll just keep not having good sand for a while

[@sheop874]

I personally wouldn't have to worry about how this'll effect mobile performance, if they'd finally get it on switch! But still no updates about that so ig ill be getting tosty

[@jam6079]

I built a pc primarily to play all my fav games at max settings I’m so excited

[@Minjoie]

Me with my potato device are jealous byt happy 4 u. No natlan 4 me iguess 🫂🥺

[@becerraluisc]

I play on mobile and pc. What are you talking about? Genshin runs smoothly on my s23 ultra

[@bruhboyyt3313]

[@bruhboyyt3313]

[@davestew5135]

​@@bruhboyyt3313what the actual fork partner??? get back to getting crit stats on yer hypercarry, quit wastin yer precious time!!

[@soulaiman21]

I wounder how much they pay you from the contract

[@__dinho]

Honestly respect for them doing that, they couldve just cut Support in like 2023 but they're still Holding on Also I think the graphical decrease is fat and slim ps4 only since the Pro is basically a ps5

[@chaoz6097]

my pc chilling

[@halfbee7886]

My iPad is already struggling to run this game, idk why.

[@HagaiTv444]

Bro zhongli banner return??? 😢😢😢

[@Shunnamon]

we've already had 60 fps, they added 45.

[@Bliss467]

I have an m4 iPad now to play it on, but it’ll still never look as good as on PC even if I can run the game at 120 fps and PC can’t.

[@StillQiqiless]

I do have the M1 iPad air and I agree. My game runs at 60 fps with medium-high settings. And it is smooth but the graphics and details just looks better in PCs & consoles

[@oh-noe]

@@StillQiqiless I got M1 iPad Pro, I run at 60fps at max settings. Have you tested max settings? It should run pretty smooth unless you live in a hot area

[@Shiverthorn_Official]

*laughs in beefy pc*

[@potatocandy7548]

Well if it unplayable anymore in ps4 like completely not running in ps4, i guess i just hiatus from genshin cause cannot afford ps5 or higher spec mobile phone right now

[@querri4144]

It won't be unplayable, just a bit lower graphics

[@potatocandy7548]

@@querri4144 if lower means it stays still like what it is now, i am happy, no need visual enhance tho

[@yoiko89]

You will experience same visual style of low end device but at least you still can play Genshin

[@ctrl5262]

Is snap 888 enough

[@hilo2hell395]

All i want is to be able to use my controller when playing it on mobile. Not hard to do!!

[@raddragon]

Aw man idk if my 4080 is prepared...

[@catraaa5261]
