I had no idea that Eurogamer was part of IGN... but I am not surprised given how IGN purchased everything gaming related online... I guess it would explain their never ending coverage of the Switch 2 hardware.

Those aren't the videos anybody watches of his, the videos that get all the views are "THIS COMPANY IS EVIL FOR TRYING TO MAKE A PROFIT" or "FUCK DRUMP FUCK TARIFFS GLORY TO THE CHINESE COMMUNIST PARTY"
Anyway just because he spams jargon at the viewer and tries to talk fast in his teardown viewers doesn't make him smart, he's just a poor tech communicator or being purposely obtuse to seem smarter.

He's right and I'm tired of all the astroturfing. i doubt every single person that played that game has a 4080-5090, bruteforcing shouldn't be the norm, framegen and down scaling should be optional for low end cards to run new games, not a requirement for the high end cards.
Shit's gayer than ever and i'm glad someone who's young is speaking against it for once.

the next months will show if their kneepad behavior was due to IGN meddling or they're naturally corrupted shills at this point. I would bet on the latter but some part of me hopes for the former, like some epic twist where the good guy turned traitor reverts to being a good guy in the grand finale of the movie. it's rather unlikely. more likely they will continue to suck off horrible studios like the frauds behind Indiana Jones and anyone and anything associated with nvidia. time will tell soon enough.

I don't get why more people don't see it. They'll take anyone's money, though. Stopped just short of making a reality TV show (likely called 'Sony Style) with the PS5 Pro shilling.

Why do they keep shilling the most broken video game in history?

>>717525965
cause it's not 2020 anymore

>>717525965
Cyberpunk is a great game.

>>717526387
Indeed, it's not 2020 anymore, and yet the game is still broken, unfinished slop. Peak western video gayming

>>717526585
Then stop playing on the pirated copy you downloaded in 2020 and get the phantom liberty version.

Weird. In their latest DF Direct video, #225, they ask for more photorelastic slop. The only thing they shill for is woke photorealistic walking simulators

He said SMAA2TX looks good. He is not right and disqualified his entire video by making such an idiot statement.

>>717531920

I dislike SMAA2TX as well even in CryEngine but c'mon Anon. Give that zoomer some slack, he cannot be perfect even if he acts smug all the time.

>>717525965
Because Nvidia has been using that game as test bed for their new features. Majority of their shit is sponsored content. They'll keep making cyberpunk content as long that Nvidia pay check keeps coming in.

>>717528243
anon probably watches threat interactive

>>717509517 (OP)
I guess they get so much under the table money from nvidia for shilling rt and framegen that they don't need support from a larger media network anymore.

>>717532324
>Give that zoomer some slack, he cannot be perfect
He doesn't have to be perfect, all I'm asking is for him to make up his mind. Half of his brand is shitting on TAA for ruining motion clarity and then he shills SMAA2TX which is KCD basically functions like TAA on steroids and ruins motion clarity way more than any other option does.

>>717509517 (OP)
Gets called out for selling out their credibility years ago. Somehow thinks separating themselves from the most infamous entity in gaming journalism will meaningfully change their already tarnished reputation.

Fuck em all

>>717532672
SMAA2TX in KCD2 isn't nearly as smeary as TAA in UE5 games, best of all you can simply disable it without fuckin up the whole game. Textures also don't get murdered.
Also I didn't notice ghosting outside of one caused by their GI solution, CryEngine suffers from awful shimmering at low light scenarios.

>>717517303
You're just as retarded as any other vigger

>>717533696
>SMAA2TX in KCD2 isn't nearly as smeary as TAA in UE5 games
It doesn't 'smear' like TAA does but the immediate softening of the image SMAA2TX produces once there's any motion makes it unusable imo. The only TAA game I've EVER seen become this soft in motion is Halo Infinite, SMAA2TX is that bad in KCD2.

>>717534656
I play a lot of Hunt Showdown, I know how it fucks up foliage in that game as well.
Some of the motion blur will come from my display anyway but putting different layers of smearing on top of each other is not good.
1TX isn't nearly as bad.

Makes sense - gaming is so dead there's not much room for independent 'journalists' or game magazines. This is why their opinions are dead as well - they still want to jack off to the biggest game releases or otherwise they don't have any clients or audience either.

Aren't these the man children mad at Nintendo being successful and not using faulty overpowered hardware? Like all you had to do was record performance videos, stop over reaching for clicks.

I wonder if this will change Rich's weird attitude on their DF Direct show.
Every time John or the gay guy or the stay puft marshmallow man guy with the lisp tries to go off-script and say something bad about one of their sponsors (like a major publisher or hardware manufacturer), Rich swoops in immediately and interjects and takes what they just said, and rephrases it in a more positive light, and then steers the conversation in the opposite direction.
It's really pathetic and really obvious what he's doing.

They cover technical topics related to the industry. Pure information about how well or how bad games run, and what new technological innovations games are using (particularly in regards to graphics but not limited to that).
They are doing the work that game reviewers/journos USED to do but don't anymore.

No on both of those. Even the new battlefield game just graphical fidelity wise is no where near ue5 or even late ue4 games.
If you didn't play on a console equivalent setup they would look and run a lot better you know.
Even on console these games have issues with the 60fps modes, if you want to play with a 3060 and 3600 or something replicating the 30fps mode should be your target.
