This will be graphics in 2008

>>715748082 (OP)
Graphics programmers are too focused on abstract technical progress, that's why we're wasting so much on ray-tracing instead of using technologically economical solutions.

is this from some sort of zoomer subreddit about how scary hallways are

We should have just stopped here.

Woah dude this place has a "wet dry world" dark aura

woah!

i'd take 2008-2010 graphics if it meant other things like map size, reactivity, choices, endings, gameplay, more complex systems, characters etc were improved instead. Imagine playing an RPG with decent/good graphics that don't require a 5080 and there's more to picking your race than "green man, lizard man or man man". Kinda like picking a low INT character in the early Fallout games but dialed up to 11.

simple+scalable always beats a pile of bespoke efficiency hacks in the long term

How well does this game play at 144hz? PCGW says it's a little troubled but is it a dealbreaker?

>>715748082 (OP)
i cant wait for 2008 bros

>>715748732
At least the mirrors edge devs should have.

>>715750375
Works on my machine, just remove the physx files that the game comes with so it forces it to use your card's, as the old ones cause crashes on newer cards

The reason Mirror’s Edge graphics worked is because basically nothing was interactive. They added all those PhysX doodads on the PC version and none of it is lit properly or shadow-casting because everything was baked.

>basically nothing was interactive
I don't need to be able to take and throw all objects in a video game.

>>715750487
Just 3 more years, bro...

>>715750894
nothing is interactive today
jamie bring up the avowed webm please

It isn't, you're just poor

2008 was 5 years ago...

Your $5,000 computer needs framegen + DLSS to barely match your monitor's refresh rate on the latest UE5 slop.

You are arguing against your own self interests for meme points.
You will be punished accordingly.

>static lighting
of course it looks good grandpa, try adding dynamic lights and real time shadows and show me how "performant" it is

>>715752120
Poor fren, I use my computer to run an llm that other people pay me to interact with due to loneliness.
My seven thousand dollar computer paid for itself in 3 weeks and this was in February.
You are unironically poor and will do anything to deflect from your poor life choices which limit what you can enjoy.

>>715752206
What about dynamic shit splatter? How performance demanding would that be huh smart-aleck?

>>715752410
not the own you think it is, unc

>>715752120
methinks you are getting trolled anon

All the modern tech is useless as games are all boring as fuck compared to games from the PS1 and PS2 and PS3 era.

>>715750136
This doesn't even mean anything.

>>715752693
It sounds good though.

>>715748732
Been ages since we had good buildings in games. It's mostly vegetation and characters that still look like plastic.

>>715752693
Sorry for your low IQ.

You can bake 90% of your scene, use dynamic shadows for all actors and physics objects as well as light probes. Cubemap for reflections and you're done.
300 fps on a mediocre gpu while your AAA sloppa with full on GI, lumen and gaytracing runs barely at 60fps on a 4090 while 2/3rd of the effects are running at quarter resolution.

Sorry OP, its been proven by Nvidia that you can't do lighting like this anymore and you need to buy a 1500$ 5080 for games to look good.

did they make the finals 8v8 yet

>>715750894
Blud I just played EAs jedi game where you had a lightsaber and couldn't interact with anything besides pre-baked points.

>>715756008
5080 won't even run that game at 30fps with PhyX enabled.

>>715748864
Blud really thought he was cooking.
