PC Gamers: BIG NEWS!

[@CFWhitman]

The full quote that Bill was looking for is: "I want shorter games with worse graphics made by people who are paid more to work less, and I'm not kidding."

[@OBEYTHEPYRAMID]

Most of those devs are already paid more to work less. Video games today, are unfinished, unpolished games made by legions of bad entitled and over-payed developers....I don't think they need to be paid more...

[@slaapliedje]

​@@OBEYTHEPYRAMIDSmaller teams with greater focus seems to be more of a winner. Also, cutting out voice actors would lower the cost to make games so the games can be sold for less, which means more people will buy it, making more profit.

[@Helikzhan-s7p]

@@OBEYTHEPYRAMID I used to be passionate about dev until I ran into an insipid recruiter who insisted that we were in a buyer's market and that was justification for hiring people with no benefits. I don't blame people for working 9-5. If the employer isn't passionate about you being part of the team why should you be passionate about the team agenda? The whole industry is rotten to the core. Just how corpos like it.

I've said it before, and I will say it again. The VG industry is overdue for a self-correcting crash to weed out the garbage from it.

[@asrr62]

Unreal engine is part of the problem. Imagine making a competitive online game with that junk meant for movie/ cinematic single player trash games. And Nvidia needs them to sell the new product.

[@Oztorek]

So, my question to this would be, isn't that what we are already seeing? And if not, what would you say the crash would be? Could it get much worse?

[@BigDaddyLongSteppa]

@@asrr62 how is unreal engine part of the problem? The only problem is it makes it too easy to make garbage games look good. Black myth wukong proves unreal engine can be used to make a great game, unless you don’t like that game either. Also I know that’s only one example of a good game, so it remains to be seen if that trend can continue

On the topic of Digital Foundry, something no one talks about is audio. When I AB games between my PS5 and Series X it’s amazing how different the audio can be. For example, Skyrim’s environmental effects are so much clearer and more immersive on PS5. Same with gunfire and explosions on Fallout 4 and Borderlands 3. Compare a rifle shot on Fallout 4 and you’ll be amazed at the difference

[@BoomMC_Inc]

I personally can't stand weight, when going fantasy it is a limitation, and when a game is trying to be realistic I can only think of my time in Iraq, I did hundreds of patrols (got a award for the first 300) but at the beginning I had all kinds of weird stuff. It didn't take long to shed almost all of it besides the bare necessities.

[@roo3005]

GTA sprint was changed early last year with the option to hold down the sprint button instead of tapping it. I think the tapping mechanic is still there and allows you to tap in time with the footsteps to maintain a sprint for longer. Its the same with riding horses in RDR2, if you tap in time with the hoofs you can gallop for longer.

One playthrough goes from 8 to 60 hours (completionist). I definitely recommend it.

I think an issue with double A games is that they don't have the marketing budget of triple A releases. Games like kunitsu-gami, bakeru, monkey ball banana rumble, and shiren 6 all came out this year to good reviews but mostly flew under the radar because they don't get the same push as the bigger budget games.

Been sick for a while so this was nice to listen to in bed. One thing I wanted to mention is that double AA games are some of my favorite games and I don't think they are gone. Not by a long shot. Just that people have kind of lost sight about when a double AA is actually triple AAA or an indie game. I wouldn't say that Astro Bot is a double AA game, but rather something like Greedfall 2 or Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden.

[@Kanecobond]

The arcade rectangle controllers with only buttons and leverless, they usually call them "Hitbox" or "Snackbox". Mostly "Hitbox". It's pretty cool. There's a low of Fighting Game pro players that use these. As for that Analogue 3D... I have to see more, and if it's as stocked as the Pocket, I can wait a little to see more... but I'm interested if the Internal Resolution makes this thing have the cleanest signal with the sharpest polygons with almost none of that baked in blur on N64 games... and I'm intrigued by that Selectable RAM value option... which if it can go higher than 8MBs, I'll be very impressed if games that have issues reaching their targeted frame rates of 20 FPS, 30 FPS, and very little amounts of games that try to reach a 60 FPS cap... then this is a MUST buy, to the point where it's a N64 Pro... an actual improvement, also considering that everything also is fully 100% compatible of course. But at the moment I'll hold off, I already have a N64 modded with HDMI out with the N64 Digital mod... and there's videos or full pics showcasing what this is supposed to be like... I'll wait for those before I jump in. As for controllers, I already have 3 N64 Tribute64 v2 Wireless controllers (need to buy a 4th, of a different color... but it's exclusive to a specific store last time I checked... only the 3 that I have seem to be the ones sold everywhere), so I'm not bothered by the exclusion... but might buy 1 or 2 later to test it out, if I like them enough... I might buy a complete 4 set.

I like when people are like "I think this is pretty good" and then find out it's actually not in the grand scheme. back in the days i had two friends that liked to play Resident Evil 5 or was it 4, in coop and they were getting some "high-scores" talking about multipliers and things like that (i don't know i haven't played the game), and were like, "dude we are soooo good, you wouldn't believe. i bet we are like top 20 players or something" and i was laughing because they were not exactly gamers, this was the first game they got kind of addicted. and i was sure that they can't be that good, for starters they didn't play it that long and for that many hours a day (we were in university). and i'm like "yeah, you wish. i bet you are not even top 50 in our (small) country" and they got offended. how can i speak like that without even knowing the game, they were doing only headshots and things like that. so i opened youtube and just typed the name of the game and asked for a level name. and opened a random video and the guys in it had like 5-6 times higher score than theirs. and i was like "look i don't even know if this is actually some kind of record for that level, it's just a random video"

[@Pumpkin-Link]

16:00 I hate how so many people (mostly pc gamers) always come with this "you need to zoom in to see the difference" argument... You don't need to zoom in when you're actually playing on a 55 inch 4K TV in your living room. The reason they need to zoom in is because most people are watching the video on their phones in 1080p or even less, and even if you watch in 4K there's still youtube compression artifacts. I can clearly see the difference between 2160p and 1800p for instance

[@SirIsaacMewtonIII]

regarding the commentary at the 25 minute mark, so many big companies sink "3 digit millions" into badly micromanaged/overmanaged games instead of making a LOT of milllion dollar games. if i were ubisoft i think i would spend 50million on a "triple a" game, hire less managers, and spend the other 50 million on making 50 borderline indie games - if people at the studio have a great idea for a smaller game, you could hire a small team to make that game happen. and nowadays so many small games are making a lot of money. and in the end the gaming industry would benefit, if there are more games that bring in people that don't normally play pc games, that's a good thing. i think balatro is a great example of that. i'm sure they've got a lot of ideas but "not enough time or money" -- that's a total excuse, they definitely have the time AND the money.

[@nickalotdegit]

@41:11 Yes Russ: exactly this. Analog now have a reputation for (somewhat) artificial scarcity of their products. This was somewhat justified when they were making new products from old parts (the Nintendo NES & Famicom games machine, for example) but to hear this is allegedly still happening, at least 2 years later, I'm sorry to be "that guy" but this is just encouraging inflated prices for resold product, as a business.

52:39 Most people dont go down with one shot, even heart shots take a few seconds, there are two trains of thought as to why peoples who have never seen guns before, tend to take 10+ rounds to go down such as the native americans, and pacific islanders that fought against US troops. First theory is that society tells us that getting shot means you go down, and the people who have never seen nor heard this dont know to do it. Second theory is that some people have a malfomed part of the brain that completely shuts down conscious thought and motor control with a certain pain threshold is met, this part of the brain is supposed to help you ignore the pain when you're running away from a predator but you break an arm and just power through, not make you fall into a coma after you break your toe

OOTB it doesn't come with any controllers at all. I guess relying on the fact that if you have cartridges you'll probably have a controller.

I really disagree with the obsolete game mechanics part where pressing a button would be considered obsolete. The thing with analogue sticks is that their feedback is inferior to buttons, similar to the issue with touch screen controls. Experienced gamers will know the effect a button press will have and even anticipate that moment even before the button is pressed. With analogue sticks, there is a delay in this feedback especially when only moving it halfway because the player relies more on the visual feedback. What is outdated is not having the ability to customize controls. I can understand old games not having the memory/processing power for controller mapping with matching UI, but there's no valid reason why modern games dictate your controller mapping for you.

[@HarrisonMarchant]

Am I the only one who get irritated when people start mixing the terms of indie and AAA/AA and so on? Like one has nothing to do with the other. There is usually correlation, but not necessarily causation. Indie can be A, it can be AA and it can be AAA. It can also be B and C... And the other way around. Just because a big publisher is making a game, it does not mean it's AAA. If an intern at EA makes a game in an afternoon as a side project because he has nothing else to do, and EA decides to publish it, it will not make it AAA, not AA, not even A. It will probably be a C... Indie means it was created independently from third party interests. While the "lettering" is about the budget and scope of the game.
