Thread 720743753

This is game from 2016 (9 years ago). Notice something?

im not a noticer, sorry

>>720743753 (OP)
no niggers

>>720743753 (OP)
I've said it before and I'll say it again. Graphics peaked in 2016.

>>720743753 (OP)
my god! windows still look the same here in the future! what the FUCK?

this game would run at 40fps with a 5080 if it came out today

>WAH THE MTX
>WAH THE PREORDER BONUSES
>WAH THE PR CAMPAIGN
>WAH WAH WAH WAH WAH
Now you're never getting another one.

>>720744440
40fps*
*DLSS set to PERFORMANCE
*Frame-generation ENABLED

>>720743753 (OP)
Notice what?

>>720743753 (OP)
When you see it you'll shit brix

>>720744614
dumb anon probably thinks these shadows are raytracing.
the idiot doesn't understand the difference between real time light refraction and this

adam jensen is a pig and never cleans up?

>>720743753 (OP)
Yeah the ugly scree space reflections. Shadow dithering. Glowing edges because of the simplistic rastered lighting. It's shows it's age.

>>720743753 (OP)
The unnatural non-rtx lighting?

>>720743753 (OP)
Yeah, I noticed it's a game from 2016

>>720745432
These guys stealing computers every night from work (and returning them by morning), bringing them to a relatives lakehouse, blaring Slayer at 2am and subsisting on caffeine from soft drinks whilst having fun coding a game they wanted to make made one of the most influential games of all time and became millionaires

It's so sad to see how modern dev studios with hundreds of developers can't achieve a fraction of their greatness; I'm not a fan of the "SOUL/SOULLESS" meme, but this feels like the premier example of it

Ugly amounts of aliasing?

i had a brand new gpu when this game came out and this game ran like shit, so idk what point you think youre making here.

>>720745623
Not really, even with those boxes stacked around, those floors are spotless.

>>720745967
People think hardware demanding games didn't exist a couple of years ago.

>>720743753 (OP)
Are those GOD RAYS
WITHOUT RAY TRACING
AIYAA WHAT IS THIS BLACK MAGIC

>>720744440
If that is Deus Ex Mankind Divided i need some help when i tried it game felt weird af like controls didnt feel like prev game at all and something seemed VERY wrong any way to fix that shit or ?

this game had god-tier atmosphere in prague

>>720746261
Godrays are a volumetric light trick something you retards call anti-soul gas.

>>720743753 (OP)
No niggers, life was so much better

>>720746261
We had them even earlier than that

Forum posts were mostly people bitching about it being too heavy

>>720743753 (OP)
Mankind Divided was trash and ran like trash

>>720746895
Turns out, nothing has changed at all.

>>720746895
1440p was equivalent to 4k in 2016

>>720743753 (OP)
brown/orange color pallet

its terrible. Glad UE5 Lumen exists now

>>720743753 (OP)
Nibbas will really post images like this and say that video game graphics haven't got any better...

>>720746997
wrong
those were at native resolutions
now they expect us to accept even worse performance for no benefit

>>720746623
Most of the "RAYTRACING BAD!" and "FAKE FRAMES!" group don't know enough about graphics to understand that pretty much every graphical setting is just some sort of "fake" trick

anti-aliasing is "fake straight lines", anisotropic filtering is "fake texture perspective", bump maps and tesselation is "fake 3D polygons", etc

I still remember when Serious Sam: The First Encounter was like black magic for how good it looked without being a performance hog, and pretty much all of that was down to really convincing tricks, or clever workarounds, more than anything else

>>720744440
it did ran at 40fps back in the day, Denuvo didn't help as well

>>720746895
this
>>720747040

I think back then I was still considering running things at 1080p a luxury (and even then usually at the cost of lowering some other graphics setting to get playable results)

>>720747040
Doesn't make a difference. 980ti still not at 60fps

>>720747692
could you post high settings
ultra in md is retardedly hard to run even in present day

>>720747412
B4 is about 48 fps average at 4k native.
It's the same.

Then why is it so dark?

>>720745967
I played it fine with an RX 570.

>>720747957
sorry anon but anything less than max settings at 4k native doesn't matter anymore
Source : The 200 ragebait threads started every time a new game launches. Bonus if that one fat brownoid purposely trying to make the game stutter for a youtube video is featured.

>>720746789
MK9 had better tits than that.

>>720747692
I'm gonna play devil's advocate here a bit, but isn't the 9xx series to the 10xx series the biggest generational performance uplift in Nvidia's history?

I still see people on tech forums praying for a new "pascal generation" of uplift, so I wouldn't say that a 9xx vs a 10xx comparison back then is even the same as a 40xx vs a 50xx today

>>720745432
>>720745949
the secret is to not be in it for the money

>>720743753 (OP)
There's no gameplay and that it's not finished and that the story sucks.

>>720748224
and just like today i can play the newest games in 4k on my high end $900 gpu. the point is new games have always been hard to run it's not a new phenomenon.

>>720748323
More accurate would be the only recent "massive" uplift that most people could actually afford. Like 3090 to 4090 was bigger than titan maxwell to titan pascal

IIRC it ran like shit

I'm bored and love DXMD so will dump and indeterminate amount of screenshots.

>>720751829
what method of aa are you running? any sharpening?

>>720751936
That specific screenshot was taken using 8xmsaa solely for the purpose of the screenshot. Mostly I run TAA with a touch of sharpening.

>>720745949
>These guys stealing computers every night from work (and returning them by morning)
real?

>>720752025
that's what I did
it seemed to produce the best results which was surprising

>>720752117
(me)>>720746321
Any help Mankind man...............

>>720752152
Watching the game eat like 14gb of vram in 2021 (which was when that screenshot was taken) was wild. Performance was horrific obviously.

>>720746321
the dawn engine feels very sluggish, even at a super high framerate
movement feels almost delayed in mankind divided no matter what you do

That lighting looks still and frigid.

you look at this through rose-tinted glasses

>Deus ex after 1
Miss me with that shit famalam

ITT: Poorfags who've never experience full HDR RTX Lighting max graphics acting like old lighting is better to cope with their shitty 10 year old computers.

Also playing the game on a HDD is pure suffering.

>>720752471
>btw your boss is a gay aussie
but wait, there's more!

>>720752371
F i guess i will just power throught it which difficulty you rec for me to (re)start the game with ?

>>720752570
I've experienced path tracing on a rtx 5080 and I'm only somewhat impressed

>Deus Ex Mankind Divided
>Arkham Knight
>Dishonored 2
>Prey

So ahead of their time.

>>720752613
Give me deus ex

>>720752768
but Prey actually ran well on release, unlike the other games

>>720750694
I recently replaced it and the graphics aren't bad, but modern engines have an edge with RTX and DLAA.

>>720752327
The graphical jump from HR to MD was pretty insane. In comparison HR looks like a borderline mobile game, you just don't get those kinds of leaps between sequels anymore.

>>720752768
I wouldn't put prey on that list. Looks fairly average in most areas except maybe the crew quarters

>>720752768
>So ahead of their time.

Nigger, they're of their time

gayming has just been stagnant for a decade

>>720752841
It also didn't have denuvo I believe, hmm...

>>720752924
forgot pic

time to replay MD i guess

>>720752753
>/v/ calls this shit lighting

>>720752924
The art team(s) well all out. The raw level of fidelity is crazy. See this for example - unreadable for most resolutions people played at in 2019 but now we can throw 4k at it we can read it clearly and this is just throwaway art!.

>>720752886
This. MD's biggest graphical problem is the AA. MSAA is stupidly expensive and doesn't even resolve the jaggies and the game's TAA implementation is really blurry (also doesn't resolve all the jaggies) which is compensated by the very aggressive sharpening filter. The game would benefit heavily from DLAA...

>>720753029
but muh realtime reflections!

>>720753094
post some more A Criminal Past

>>720752458
Yeah uh, devs? Maybe don't do this?

>>720752753
this looks amazing

>>720753180
I really don't have many more from it and certainly not any interesting ones.

>>720753172
>the panels changing lighting also affects the reflections, cars and the bridge to the left
Uhh.... I thought this wasn't supposed to be possible without RTX™?

>>720753231
Human rights are problematic.

>>720753316
it has such an unusual design

>>720753396
remember seeing this for the first time and just audibly going what the fuck

>In comparison HR looks like a borderline mobile game
'member The Fall?

>>720751829
>>720751909
Game still looks good

>>720753503
we uh we don't talk about that round here

>>720753396
I've found that disabling the in-game sharpening setting and forcing sharpening through the Nvidia control panel instead yields pretty good results (I run 35% sharpening at 1440p).

MD felt a little overdesigned to me. HR was perfect

>is a complete and utter bitch

Still, she has a comfy office.

Viewing that pic on my oled is eye searing. I love it.

>>720753172
>>720751829
dxmd is a great example of a game that is really demanding (or was, on release) yet it justified the hardware requirements with amazing visuals. It looks so fucking good. Artists and programmers both did a great job

>>720753618
how does the lighting look soo good in this game?

>>720753569
MD definitely felt more extravagant but I just chalked it up to it being set in an old european city

I will admit most of my screenshots are from night prague as it does look a LOT better at night (well, nearly every urban area in any vidya does because lmao human eyes, but still).

>>720753768
daytime prague probably turned a lot of people off the game
music isn't as good, quests aren't quite as interesting
then you do allison's quest at night and it's like holy shit

>>720753740
All baked and there is no dynamic time of day. See also: mirrors edge.

>>720753754
How MD present prague isn't that far off from any of the old major cities in the world today. Place like london and paris have the latest and greatest buildings of gleaming glass and steel next to stone architecture that has been there for hundreds of years. In a previous MD thread some anons - who I assume to be mostly burgers - said the setting is stupid because there is no way anyone would keep old buildings around when the space could be served with new ones.

>>720754160
>mankind just expired

The ambience of the OST is top tier. Makes for some great relaxing listening.

>MD is le heckin' good actually
lmao kill yourself, unironically

>>720754215
Enjoy your trough, aug.

>>720754345
It was always good. Shame it's only half a game though and the franchise has seemingly been put on ice, perhaps for good.

I can imagine myself sitting here on a crisp morning drinking some tea or coffee.

>>720754345
>boomer nigger only plays games from 1999 and refuses to say anything nice about games made after 2005
go fuck yourself

>>720754345
Always was, neck yourself contrarian.

>>720754450
Looking back, they laid this whole "augs go to the back of the bus" allegories really thick with this game. I mean it was in HR too to some extent but nowhere near in your face like this.

>>720754454
Maybe other anon needs to read a copy of this.

>>720754610
people on both sides of the fence were criticising them. a game like this would probably not be possible today

>>720754610
Best part is that is a brainlet filter. The augs as 2nd class citizens isn't even the main point of the game but midwits only saw that.

yum yum yum

>>720754758
Got them a lot of free publicity though, 'member Aug Lives Matter?

>>720754450
I can't quite explain it well but the game looks.. sorta weird? Like its new or foreign or special, I never saw a modern game that looks like this before, it looks good in a specific way

>>720754928
you guys think i could pull off jensen's coat?

>>720755069
Have you got knife arms?

>>720755139
i got noodle arms. does that count

>>720754915
I would posit that the art style is very grounded. The buildings look like actual real buildings rather than the movie take on them. Obviously the future stuff is out there but the style they use can be see in some crazy buildings that exist today. Like the shards are just essentially some super material engineering (to handle the overhang) away from being built today.

>>720755069
You're not that cool.

>>720755178
No. So no.

As far as I can tell there are no slices of pizza in the game. Plenty of pizza boxes but no way to see them open.

With renodx you can inject HDR into the game as well which is nice.

>digital shillery
opinion discarded

>>720755560
It was well-optimised in concordance to its graphical prowess. The devs' only mistake was including MSAA which brainlets turned on without realising how badly it works with deferred rendering

I always found this terrace comfy - reminds me of a fun night out I had once. Sitting under the heat lamps at midnight with friends while drinking was top comfy.

how the HELL do i get deus ex 1 to run?

yeah, at 20 fps without dlss on a 3k graphics card, while the game looks like something from 2013

You just reminded me of Chikane and whatever happened there.

should i play invisible war? i tried it once and gave up like 3 hours in but now i wanna give it another chance because i'll probably be dead before another deus ex game comes out
>>720752768
>Dishonored 2
i remember it looking like shit when i played it since DOF kept turning itself on, and because your only antialiasing options are TAA or FXAA. it's a shame too, everything else about it looks great

>>720752471
Also, the faction working for the Australian government in the civil war, which is fighting the Chinese backed rebels, also has a contract with China to police the streets of Hengsha.

I played it on a dying raid 0 partition. I would spend 10 minutes in loading screens to go to the other side of prague. I was minmaxing mission objectives and other stuff I wanted to do in order to avoid spending eons loading

>>720758264
It was one of the art design philosophies in both Eidos Montreal games, they used clutter as means to make the environments appear realistic, lived-in. The original Deus Ex is just too barren of assets and props, none of the environments look remotely believable, despite being a great immersive sim. So the art team sought to rectify that by making the environments super cluttered, specially offices, like Pritchard's and Jensen's offices in Human Revolution, Jensen's apartment in Mankind Divided, TF-29's hideout, etc.

You can infiltrate the dvali appartments by jumping on those triangles and following the way. The notteleportation aug might be needed, I don't remember. Anyway I love this

how come i could play Battlefield 1 and Titanfall 2 with a gtx 1070 on ultra smooth as fucking butter at 60 but modern games with my 3070 that look fucking worse and perform worse cannot? people play modern games with modern cards and they cant even run smoothly. why the actual fuck is this supposed to be acceptable? meme technology like lumen that adds absolutely nothing that rapes performance is not acceptable. why cant games just look like and run like battlefield 1 and titanfall 2? what the actual fuck more do you need?

>>720758993
I wish we had a director's cut like HR. Not for gameplay changes but for the commentary as that was fascinating to listen to.

The high jump aug is absolutely essential to get the most out of the game. A lot of places you can explore require it to reach.
