When I was about 7 I got into an accident with some fire. Ended up in hospital for 5 months on the childrens ward. Once I'd recovered enough to get out of bed into a wheelchair, I found the "games room". Back in the 1980's that consisted of lots of board games, some colouring books, an endless supply of "The Beano" comics and ... an original table cabinet Space Invaders. Every night, about 1am once the nurses had mostly gone home, I'd sneak silently down the corridor into the games rooms and turn on Space Invaders. The nurses kept the credit key in the top left hand drawer. I usually got about 2 hours of playing in before I was discovered. They either found my empty bed and went looking for me, or a nurse would be going off duty and rumble me on her way past the room from the glowing lights. I mastered that game. Eventually they would take my wheelchair away every night at lights out to stop me from playing. I just scooted along the corridor on my butt for a few nights. You cannot stop a gamer. Good times!

Hit the nail on the head when you said they were overused and would become more subtle, most screen effects now are limited to the corners of the screen like vignetting. I boot up games from 5-8 years ago now and when I get water drops, bloody streaks, and smudges of dirt right on the center of the screen that stick around for more than a few seconds, it tends to be rather annoying :p

It's because he is an erudite, educated person (as are the member of his team, which I suppose him to have). This informs his entire approach to the subject matter. First, the level of research is exhaustive. Second, a keen focus clearly led the work, so that even what could have been an amorphous and bloated research stage was well-conceived and thoughtfully directed. Last, approaching the source material from an academic stance, he takes great pains to present it, both through the lens of his intellectual process, whilst at the same time, ensuring that audiences of all educational/academic backgrounds would find the final product easily accessible. Combined, this makes for a wonderfully enjoyable document

One thing that's not obvious from watching this today is just how good the 80s - mid-90s sprite graphics looked on a CRT TV or monitor. The low pixel resolution and inherent blurring that came about from the way CRTs worked really smoothed them and gave them depth that you can't see with the crisp rendering of a high-resolution LCD.

Very nice. What a blast from the past. That was a very detailed and thorough walk down memory lane. I played just about all of these games at the times when they were cutting edge. It's nice to see the progression and hear it explained in such a great way. I don't comment very often but I felt this piece deserved my respect. They say just before you die your life flashes before your eyes, as a lifelong gamer through the progression of arcades, home consoles and pc's this was like that flash for a gamer but instead of the end a whole future open to the possibilities and excitement of what will be next. Thank you for sharing!

I'll never forget 1998. The last game console I ever bought was a Sega Saturn, but in 1998 I bought my first PC and 2 Voodoo2 cards in SLI mode. I've been a PC gamer ever since. The PC since then and will forever dominate graphics. Consoles are for the kiddies.

I was 14 when my dad brought home a TRS-80 Color Computer for Christmas in 1980. It had 16KB of RAM, a cassette tape for a drive, two joysticks, and a game port. there were games on cassette too. This ran MS-BASIC and when you created animated graphics you had to choose between higher resolution and fewer colors and fewer pages, or more pages with more colors with lower resolution. The resolution was basically like grid paper and to make circles or ellipticals you'd choose the center point, then height, then width, then how much of the circle you wanted to draw, and you could fill it with colors, but to draw a circle you used SIN and COS. MS-BASIC is a lot like VBA only you had to number each line so you usually gave yourself a cushion so you could add lines if you wanted to add stuff so the first line was 10, the second line was 20 and so on. I made a racquet ball game, like Pong only single player and you could make different size balls depending on what level of difficulty you chose. Programming music was a lot of trial and error because it was not straight forward! I did some simulations from "Lost in Space" and "Star Trek" with their theme songs, but playing the intro to "Stairway to Heaven" took months! In 1987 I saw Pink Floyd on the Delicate Sound of Thunder tour and I started doing a ton of animation from the light show I saw at that concert! It's nowhere close to what the concert looked like but man, the Varilite backdrop and the spider lights that rose out of the stage were incredible! The Pulse tour took that up a notch but even the DSoT tour still blows anything away touring now!

4 years later: The rise of Raytracing
@cookieshousecannabisco69634 жыл бұрын
Lol shit; RT tech has been around for 17 years now.. Still haven't seen it genuinely integrated at a large scale... lots of fake RT on consoles, a few titles on PC used it, some tech demos but other than that.. not shit and I guarantee you the next series of consoles will be just as shitty-middle-range-laptop incapable of truly rendering it. sure PC graphics cards have supported it since the ATi 5xxx/Nvidia 2xx but since consoles have come to dominate the industry, little software is programmed to take advantage of it. Graphics and tech have stalled because the major players in the industry know the key and it's "*Fuck if it's trash, they'll buy it anyways*"

Quake III Arena had a fully working raytracing implementation back in the early 2000's. Nvidia just sold another batch of overpriced GPU's to another million monkeys via some "Raytracing" gimmick, despite pre-release benchmarks showing that the cards were vastly incapable of such tech in games. Monkeys still slapped dat pre-order button. $2000 Titan XP - Raytracing Edition please! XD
@ovum4 жыл бұрын
@@TheVanillatech I think this is more of a near "plug and play" approach, because do consider that older games had to redesign their lighting systems from scratch or come up with a (yet another proprietary) game engine that would seamlessly support RT. In real world scenarios, who would wanna do that? Even a giant game company wouldn't spend tons of R&D on something that might get unstable as technology (HW and SW) progresses. Unless you're EA. Fucking Frostbite Engine.

Saw people trying to do voxels to make things constructed and breakable instead invisible walls and invincible everything in 3D. If you focus on emergent gaming, sandbox mode, and player building the worlds, they want to turn that into the new virtual reality. Kinda like minecraft but with sand or smaller like every atom in your body is glued by the program. Get cut you bleed but the processing power to measure that might take a decade or more. Still the effect of feeling what you see happens in those goggles and to make the virtual world more malleable is a worthwhile pursuit. Some started off too grand trying to MMO that around the world when it almost kills the game specs solo.

Realtime raytracing was used in the early first person shooters (Wolfestein 3D, Doom, Duke Nukem 3D). They cast horizontal rays, one for each column of pixels in the screen, and painted a column of pixels when they found a wall or an sprite. Very efficient, but also limiting in the allowed geometry. General purpose 3D, with full 3D transformations, Z-buffer for occlusion, and arbitrary texture transformations, as introduced in Quake, required more horsepower, but was more flexible and, in the end, more powerful CPUs and dedicated GPUs made it viable.
