NASA can't commit to the engineering they did 50 years ago. All the schematics and instructions and materials are there, but if they make it it will explode and they know that.

You all know the reason why.

>>716228558
You're standing at the middle depth of a room twice as big as you think that is mirrored. The reflection is geometry.

Devs learn Unreal and Unity in college so from the studio's point of view it makes no financial sense to make games in any other way.
Modern corporations tend to fucking hate the mere idea of in-house training and practices that employees need to be taught in, so every studio has exactly same development culture built around same tools and same principles.

It's all based on the same root problem of our entire society revolving around funneling money from the people to the elites. We don't have money to do proper space anymore, because elites don't want to pay taxes. We don't have money to make proper games anymore, because elites demand everything be done on shoestring budgets. If you've worked in corporate America for over a decade like I have you've seen this shift been kicked into overdrive, quality gates are being removed everywhere in favor of moving faster faster faster. Quality doesn't matter, because the competition also doesn't care. Faster faster and more and more money for investors at all costs is the only metric all of society operates on anymore.

It is impossible today because devs aren't in it as a passion.
They are in it because when they were kids playing passionately made games that were trying to be the best they could be they thought to themselves "when I grow up i'm gonna make video games too!"
Then they go to university where they get taught about diversity and not a thing about how to make video games because the teachers don't know shit.
they get get PTSD because they are forced to crunch since they've not been doing any work and posting social media "a day in the life" videos instead of trying to meet deadlines and then they get laid off anyway.

It's always been a skill issue. Just like architects saying it'd cost 6 million dollars to do literally anything that old architects did back then.

>>716228638
>You all know the reason why.
Yeah because the original engineers didn't really keep notes. It was only recently in the past two decades that they were able to recreate certain materials after realising modern production processes were too pure, and the original engineers hadn't noted that certain impurities were necessary, because those were just everyday outputs from production methods of the day.
Try harder pajeet.

The explanation is modern developers are often lazy and buying premade assets from the Unreal Engine store and using meme shit like raytracing and are obsessed with arbitrarily increasing texture resolution to get 8k ray tracing hyper realistic shit that runs at 24 FPS even on modern hardware.

Source engine games still look good too and have physics that mog many modern AAA releases (including shit like Avowed lol) because they're not busy with 80 gigabytes of uncompressed audio files on 12 languages and textures detailed enough to see the moustache hairs on every woman's upper lip

I can allow them ONE excuse in that certain rendering techniques were deemed deprecated at some point and thus newer software just can't do that style of rendering without massive overhauls, which would force devs to try to utilize older software which could potentially bring a lot of compatibility issues.

There are comparatively few limitations to developing a game nowadays. Why go through the trouble of doing things in a unique way when off the shelf solutions suffice.

It's what happens when socialists infect your gaming company

I've been playing my PS2 recently and while the low resolution leaves something to be desired I really like how the games look. Like the office in some random ass action game like Dead to Rights 2 or Resident Evil Dead Aim somehow seem "more real" than something today. But I mean not "really", like the new ones are "more realistic".

Whatever.

Mirrored geometry coupled with semi-transparent texture. A big problem is actually that the reflections are too sharp when you do this - ray-tracing allows you to more accurately handle the scattering of reflected light from surfaces.

Deferred rendering was a mistake.

>>716241516
lmao but that is fucking tragic

>>716242058
>Deferred rendering
just to make it obvious for the /v/tards:
Deferred rendering is why planar reflections (seen in >>716241516 >>716228558 >>716237538 etc.) are no longer in use. To heavily simplify, a lot of modern games use deferred rendering, which uses multiple shader passes on a scene, and is far too expensive for planar reflections to work (it's basicaly impossible in a deferred rendering pipeline), this is why SSR and psuedo-raytracing have taken over - the former being cheap (but wildly inaccurate), the latter being expensive but more accurate.

I could go on and on about why deferred rendering is aids and I hate it, but you lazy faggots can do your own research from here.

Raytracing is just a meme to sell cards because the difference in GPU's is negligable and not worth the price.

That's literally all it exists for.

GUYS BUY THE NEW CARD IT CAN RUN THIS REALLY UNNECCESSARILY RESOURCE INTENSIVE LIGHTING TECHNIQUE SLIGHTLY BETTER THAN THE OLD ONE.

Yet so many games that don't have raytracing look way better than those that do.

Death Stranding 2 doesn't have ray tracing and the lighting in that mogs literally all RTX games and runs at 60fps on a fucking PS5.

Fuck OFF.

How many people in this thread can make a campfire with nothing but stones, wood and dry leaves? Now think about what it means to program a game without modern help from websites or AI. Technology is lost all the time. You couldn't make a Concord plane these days anymore, maybe in China, because they have like 3.5 million STEM graduates per year.

Remember when there was a witch hunt of INTJ or w/e term is used to describe those autistic poorly socialized men who are hyper competent with technology/math/science years ago? They literally hunted those down because they made women uncomfortable. You think jocks and "alphas" created modern technology?

>>716244657
>alpha blending / transparencies are significantly more expensive to render
is this why transparencies in modern games are dithered now? It looks so ugly and jarring.

>>716245898
Yep.
Games can't really use decent fur/hair rendering anymore as the cost is far too high to render with deferred rendering, so instead they'll typically use pixel dithering and some form of 'smoothing' (or just slap TAA to smear everything)

I mean, you're right, but just half-right, there's a bigger problem

>>716228536
It's actually easier and less complex than ever. And every time a new game comes out with a new method for doing stuff there is more knowledge available for non-lazy, competent developers to reach out to for advice to solve problems. The problem is the level of competence is lower than ever, and studios are larger than ever which creates its own problem of cascading incompetence that makes things more difficult and take longer.

Is everyone on this board just retarded? The explanation for OPs image is literally just fixed camera angles..That's it...Its not 'magic'.
If you have a fixed camera angle then you only have to render half of any area, saving massive amounts of processing power. If the player could turn around in OPs image then you would have an entire extra area that has to be created and rendered. You're literally just skipping out on rendering like 50% of the environment compared to a game with a 3D camera.

You know that in a game that uses fixed camera angles, with prerendered backgrounds, they still fully construct the environments before they take their shots? It would be impractical to try to meticulously plan for exactly what you'll show ahead of time only to find it doesn't work later and then having to go back to make the missing pieces.
They build complete stages.

In fact, there's a really ornate, detailed mural on the dome ceiling of the foyer in the og Resident Evil that you never see but a corner of in the arranged mode with the alternate camera angles.
iirc modders discovered that detailed 3D mesh data of the background models actually exists in the remake.

Also it's made by souless corporate slaves and a lot of it is outsourced to thirdies
Plus the knowledge from the past devs wasn't passed down, games are made by diversity hires who all came from the same shitty game dev program

Young people and your average retard think that this isn't "real" and therefor is "worse".
I've legit seen morons online argue that reflections in old games don't count because they're "Fake" and raytraced reflections are "Real" which make them inherently superior.

How about, instead of making games look better than the average PS4 game, you use the added processing power of newer systems/computers to do things that improve the gameplay? Add more enemies/NPCs. Improve the AI. Add in physics systems/terraforming/destructible environments. Accurately simulate liquids. And so on and so on.

Without pointing out a single other thing, they keep her face in focus for the entire sequence instead of inexplicably blurring her out even though her expression is supposed to be the focus of the sequence.

Game devs are pressured by hardware companies to make use of RTX or whatever the newest cutting edge buzzword thing is in order to sell more hardware. Hardware must always have new advancements, so even if there aren't any then we must pretend there are. Other software is the same, it's all investor-lead. Developers are probably not allowed to use tried and true techniques, they're forced at gunpoint to utilize "this thing that is supposed to be an advancement but is actually bullshit".

There is though. Its just a boring non political one: The late 90s and early 2000s were just a brief period where games were made by people who were massively overqualified. Valve made Half Life because after DOOM, making a 3D shooter was just the cool thing you did if you wanted to be at the forefront of tech. Most of the Looking Glass team were genius level MIT graduates. Games like Theme Park and Evil Genius had a guy called Demis Hassabis working on them as a designer. He went on to found a company called DeepMind which was sold to Google for £400 million.
This whole period was basically a flash in the pan. In 2025 there is basically zero reason for anyone of this calibre to be working in the games industry. The salary is dogshit. You could go do any other tech related thing and make 10 times more and also actually see your friends and family as well. The only people who will put up with the pay and conditions are midwits with 'game design' degrees. In this current year, the young person out there who is basically the next John Carmack would never be working in games. They would be working at Google on some cursed AI chatbot instead, or some nebulous Silicone Valley start up

2010 onwards there was a big push in North America for more robust anti-harassment policies, but worded entirely around women's subjective personal feelings and emotion rather than actual objective harm. This was when more women were also entering the corporate world due to diversity polices.

Who benefited from these policies? Net gain women.

Who lost? Net loss males. The nerdy poorly socialized males did the worst.

I also noticed the change of treating corporatiosn like some big social club around this time too. How well you socialize and how well you do with the "team" determines how well you are promoted.

But those high quality games were made under "capitalism". We've been under "late stage capitalsim" since the god damn 30s. "capitalism" also produces the problem.

The capitalism vs. socialism dynamic is a false one, perpetuated by anti-capitalists, who work in rhetorical tricks rather than facts, evidence, or logic. "Capitalism" is everything, and nothing, and it functionally means nothing.

Silent Hill games? Made by capitalism. Konami wasn't a charity.

"Nationalism" became a dirty word. There is nothing inherently wrong with nationalism, and they only people that complain about are the people who desperately want to party-crash said nation, then shit all over it from the inside.

When the USA was primarily a Christian nation with western Christian VALUES (aka not necessarily the religion, just the values guiding society,) and high civic pride, we accomplished wonders. the Shitworld has been doing everything it can to erode all that for the past 70+ years and now we are at a crossroads.

And because they did indeed suck so much from us and weaken us to such a degree, things like mass deportations and range-banning certain shit nations from our western internet (prob. won't happen, but it absolutely should, and be priority fucking one,) are actually a MERCY next to what we SHOULD be doing to these people, by rights.

>NASA can't return a man to the moon.
A lot of people misunderstand what this statement actually means.
If you've ever been somewhere with a saturn V (or replica) on display they are fucking huge. They were built by a massive supply and infrastructure chain. They had an infinite supply of money and resources because it was a national priority because muh soviets.
All the places that were tooled to make all the various parts for the saturn V have since either shut down because they existed because of the government contract, or they pivoted to commercial or other government work.
If you want to build a rocket that can go to the moon then you need an entire industry ready to switch over to build your fuck huge rockets. And you can't just dust the lander off at the smithsonian and re-use that.
And really, nasa doesn't need to, there's not much to do on the moon, and its just going to be more expensive, and commercial space launch has been doing just fine, and if space X can get the starship working then that's a genuine game changer because it can easily take a payload to the moon and back (on paper).
And people already complain too much about nasa's budget (that is genuinely pretty tiny for government agencies). NASA definitely has internal problems, and too much administration vs science and pure research.
Also nasa has been saddled with a couple of real boondoggles that really hobbled manned space exploration.
The space shuttle (look at its development hell, genuinely interesting government dipshittery).
And the ISS, which cost so much by the time it got put up there that nasa had to make sure every single mission with people included it because they had to justify the expense.

Yeah anon, I hate to tell you this, you couldn't take a car that has been on display for 50+ years and start it up either.
And still, the problem isn't your lander, its getting there in the first place.
Also a pocket calculator has more computing power than the entire Saturn V program.
NASA needed more silicon microchips than existed in the world, so you had a few companies that jumped in with a way to mass produce chips because the government gave them as much as they asked for. And once these companies started mass producing chips, and nasa didn't need them anymore, they began dumping them on the market kicking off the digital revolution that really took off in the 70's and by the 90's were some of the biggest companies in the world.
No one is going to give NASA trillions just to go back to the moon so dipshits can cry about how space is fake and gay and how they're spending all that money on space instead of poor brown people.

The real answer is until recently a game had to ship on a disk/cartridge. So you have to fit EVERYTHING on that disk. If you had to use multiple disks then that starts bloating your cost, so it has to be justified. So a lot of old games got really creative about how to kludge shit together so it just werked without needing to start deleting texture files.
As soon as you started to see digital distribution take over then they can make a game as big as they want. If you can't find the space or resources that's not THEIR problem.
Or sending a game to gold while its still broken with the intention of a day one patch as big as the game, or unlocking unfinished content on the disk

Don't get me wrong, if I was HNIC I'd be tooling the global economy into bootstrapping ourselves off world as quickly as possible. But I'm a spacenoid.
But yeah, the space relatively near earth has far more valuable rocks to exploit, and a permanent base on the moon isn't as beneficial to any of that as most people think. The surface is mostly just baked rock. There's water there, so you could make water and air to survive, but there's not much otherwise unless you want to get silly with boreholes.
A scientific outpost would be pretty useful, one of the neater ideas I've heard is that it would be relatively easy to turn the dark side of the moon into a giant radio telescope that is in the shadow of earth's own radio noise.

The reason they keep mass producing tanks even though no one is really buying tanks anymore is specifically because you don't learn how to weld armor plating in trade school, and its easier to just keep the lines supplied with trained labor than to risk having to figure it out again from scratch in the event someone needs loads of tanks in a hurry. Or risk them making tanks for someone else.

you actually can use planar reflections in deferred rendering, but you have to be smart about it, a lot like old devs were. for instance, go ahead and use it in a bathroom window, as the reflection is now limited to the room. you can also do it on a shiny floor in a busy room or scene, just limit how much it reflects. for instance, take a bank with a shiny floor. make the reflection clip immediately after the ceiling. it's busy enough that no one will notice the sky isn't reflected.

Poor management.
In a studio of thousands, with development times of years, only a few dozen people spend a few months productively working and everyone spends the rest of the time wasting said time and money.
It's also entirely likely that they'll end up needing to outsource in the end anyway.
The maximum size of a productive studio is 60 and the maximum productive development time without scrapping the project almost entirely is about 3-4 years (if it's not literally a passion/autism project), but neither of those are compatible with kayfabe company management, because if you lay off half of a productive studio so that you can seem productive in the face of a bad quarter, they immediately become completely dysfunctional.

No optimization required for the pre-rendered scene, characters in high detail are far more complex than a scene, far far less having to account for smoke and mirrors of rasterization since ray tracing just works.

>>716228558
You render the scene a second time, essentially you need to budget your game to give the hardware the room to render the scene twice, on older hardware this was much easier, partially because of fixed function, partially because the scene budgets were easier to deal with, and partially because of tech like bilinear space partitioning which came with a bevy of tricks like just telling the game that the floor is a portal pointing backwards and having the engine do the optimization of the scene itself.
On newer hardware this is far more complex because detail budgets are far far more than just your tri count, but there's also a lot of additional optimizations you can do, you can cull certain things from rendering, render that extra part at a lower resolution, or a lower framerate, use more aggressive lod, lower the quality of lighting, etc. but then it's also only relevant for a single plane, every additional reflection plane is another scene being rendered, but then ray tracing comes in and doesn't care, not only does it not care about any of that shit other than how much triangles a ray may intersect with, but it can do reflections off of any arbitrary surface shape and it doesn't cost additional resources to do it.

It's all about image, the investors don't really care about videogames, they need to see the stereotypical signs of a company doing well.
Growth, strategic hiring, forward thinking, market research, consultants, etc.
All of that is only loosely connected to the actual development of videogames at best, but they need to sell the illusion of it being a "real" business, especially when they turn it into a full-blown scam to defraud people with something that they don't understand, as seen in cases like Ubisoft, where they simply collect money from government grants for years without doing anything.
They can't break kayfabe with realistic choices that actually make sense for game development, because that might make the entire Jenga tower of generally disinterested investors fall over. They're not really there for performance theater, they're there to see wrestling.

A friend of mine makes maps for counterstrike. He's been doing it since 2001. He remakes his maps for every new cs game. For some reason his older maps always look better to me. Even though I have zero nostalgia for them as I only met him during the pandemic when I started playing csgo.

not quite, it's a planar reflection shader. look at the window below the stamina bar, you can see how the reflections are blurry and lower res

Why is this the case?
Alpha map textures is one of the most basic features of old vidya, why does it have to be dithering nowadays?

rendering pipelines are optimized to draw things front-to-back as much as possible in order to avoid redrawing pixels. when starting a new frame from scratch it will try to draw the things closest to the camera first. when drawing it will check each pixel and ask if the depth of the thing it's trying to draw is greater than what is already drawn there (higher depth = further away). if the depth is greater, it will skip it and move on to the next pixel
so if you're staring at an opaque wall 5 feet in front of your face the game won't bother rendering anything behind that wall.
you could also think of it like the inverse of the way painters paint. normally they do the sky, then the background, then the foreground, but that's a huge waste of the computer's time. why draw the skybox first (which will fill the entire screen) when you could draw everything else first, then draw the sky on the pixels that weren't touched

transparent objects throw a wrench in that process because you can't skip drawing things behind transparent objects, including other transparent objects, so large swathes of the screen can end up having to be redrawn again and again and again, blowing out your GPU's fill rate if it happens enough times. this also means overdraw is a scaling issue that gets worse the higher your resolution is. even old ass games can smoke your gpu this way.

this is why devs abuse dithering nowadays, dithered materials are technically opaque so they don't create overdraw, but it looks like shit so they have to use TAA to blend the dither pattern together make it look partially transparent
that said, specialized materials have existed for a long time to solve the hair problem (see: games like the witcher 3 and last of us), but the only explanation i can think of is that this knowledge just gets lost over time because the competent devs get fired

More specifically, deferred rendering allows for more lights in a scene than forward rendering because they DEFER the lighting until later in the pipeline. Forward has performance issues when you go past a few dynamic lights in a scene since it's all done in sequential order.

However, this has all been resolved over a decade ago, and modern devs are too incompetent and/or stuck in their ways to go back to forward. There is now Clustered Shading, which can be used for either rendering method, that makes it possible to have literal thousands of lights in a scene while maintaining performance.

https://www.aortiz.me/2018/12/21/CG.html

Most of these people use a deferred base, however. Even the example above.

Some other notes:
>Deferred has increased and inherent latency that can't be mitigated to an extent to match forward's response times. If you ever thought that games used to be more responsive, you're completely right.
>Deferred rendered games already have to actually do forward rendering passes on anything involving transparency, like glass and subsurface materials.
>A Visibility Buffer renderer is supposed to be the next step. Basically UE5's Nanite, but on a very low level and universal fashion that it's actually performant. Also works with anything on-screen regardless of material; currently, not everything in UE5 can use Nanite, like foliage, unless you do some very specific tricks that Nanite is not currently made or optimized for.
>Rendering methods are not holistic in implementation. This is partially the reason Doom: The Dark Ages runs like hot ass, despite using SOME aspects of a visibility buffer renderer in their engine; it has hacked together to an existing, deferred/forward renderer. The forced ray tracing doesn't help. I should also remind everyone that the extremely performant Doom 2016 was done in an almost entirely forward renderer, by the way.

>>716299394
wise anon, tell me this, does deferred rendering cause hair shimmering? I think its due to TAA that is mandatory when doing deferred rendering.
>>716247408
motion blur looks cool as fuck in racing games.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ouIMjcB50Es
though this is an example that shows the motion blur is used in the edges of the screen and nowhere near where the eyes would focus on. this helps give a sense of high speed while not obscuring anything. sadly every other game I played with motion blur, it just made the whole screen blurry and gave me headaches. motion blur literally gives me nausea. specially when its heavy even when moving the camera slowly.

That water simulation is really well made. Rest is meh and overall art direction is very bland.

“You didn’t model this teacup! That’s just a jpeg!”

There, saved you from reading 400 replies from nvidia fanboys

Many graphical effects unique to the GC architecture couldn’t be ported to other consoles. And Capcom didn’t really try to reproduce them by other means. The RE4 HD Project mod on Steam does attempt to reproduce the missing GC effects and does a fantastic job. Clear upgrade from the base version however it’s not completely 1:1 to the GC version.

>>716296482
cant you just use one layer of transparency without dithering? I dont even see that anymore.

>>716296482
Wow! That sounds really complicated!
If only we could figure out how to handle transparency in the 90s we could have amazing consoles like the N64 and the Playstation

But alas transparency was never figured out and no gpus were ever invented that could handle this impossible task

i'm not saying transparency is hard or impossible, i'm just explaining what it is and why devs all choose to use dithering instead of true transparency as much as possible (because they're incompetent and can't optimize their games)

I am a programmer and everything he said is trivial and was figured out decades ago.
It is a trick, when you cannot debunk a statement you say something factual that sounds relevant but isn’t actually

Imagine if you were downloading a file, but there was no estimated time to finish
You ask the dev of the hrowser to add this feature and then he says “That is impossible! It was proven with Turing machines that solving the Halting problem is impossible! You cannot prove when a process will ever finish! So it is impossible to calculate when a download will ever finish! I have a BA in computer science listen to the expert!”

Literally everything the monkey said is irrelevant, and a solved problem

>Transparency is impossible
We have tons of old games with transparency
>Working mirrors are impossible
We have tons of games with working mirrors
Etc

>>716308775
>Transparency is impossible
>Working mirrors are impossible
Nobody was saying this.
Monkey anon only said alpha blending has a high performance cost so is often avoided, which is true.

mirrors are perfect with RT anyway so whats the point
its like complaining about ips glow when oled monitors exist

>>716308775
>when downloads finish
ETA for downloads is just remaining download data divided by how much was downloaded in the last second. no need to solve the halting problem (which has a retarded description and should be the introductory problem not a fucking phd target for posers)
