the shadows on both xboxs are very much worse than the ps5 ones

fallow bronze
severe compass
Yes you are right on that one
Actually the shadow of the XS and SS are the same, so I wonder if they just reused the settings between the two? I'll say it again, the Xbox SS was a mistake
still spire
The Xbox one can play the non remaster at 4K60
Given this is a straight port
The Xbox backwards compatibility seems the way to go
severe compass
Does the remaster have improved graphics? I mean I would prefer 60fps over 30, but that might be important for others?
I understand they wanted a cheaper option on the market, but usually people who can't afford new consoles either get second hand, or stick with the old ones for a while (hence why so many games go backported). Introducing the SS didn't help Microsoft's position, but hurt it as developers are reluctant to adopt a platform that forces them to optimize for a second far weaker version, creating additional work with no clear benefit towards themselves. The extra work also means that developers that do port to Xbox now can't spend as much time making it work well on one device, so they have to spend time making it work decent on two
It's no wonder Xbox has been losing the console war this generation so badly that MS had to buy up Bethesda AND Blizzard
still spire
Nope, no real improved graphics

id still pick the xbox over the ps5 tbh
simply because the ps5 cant do 4:4:4
but the xbox can
deft bloom
simply because the ps5 cant do 4:4:4
hmm? 4:4:4 isn't possible on 4k120 but 4k60 no problem
small comet
who plays at 60 though
i need my max settings
just so i can feel better about myself
deft bloom
who makes console games at 4k120 XD
small comet
but for real i like having the possibility for some nice image quality itself. i wouldnt know any game that uses 120fps and 4k upsampling
but the fact the ps5 doesnt even give you the option is kinda sad
deft bloom
struggling to get 60 for the ps5 in most
small comet
also just like the backwards comp of xbox more
deft bloom
which sucks major ass as well, it doesn't work under 48fps
small comet
well yes but you see i do like that its backwards compatible
deft bloom
there's almost no point to it when it works like that, since games will be dropping frames below that and then the hz just jumps to 60/120 or whatever it's set to
small comet
for playstation i currently need my ps2 AND ps3 just to play all my games
meanwhile on xbox i could most likely play all games i actually like with 1 console
i play on crt
what would i upscale
severe compass
Part of the problem Playstatiom faces is that the PS2 and PS3 have completely different architecture from future gens
small comet
no my old consoles all go to a crt
feels more natural to me
they just look wrong on modern panels
idk what it is exactly
severe compass
Irc oled can mimic crt rather well?
small comet
Irc oled can mimic crt rather well?
idk best feature i miss from CRTs is touching the screen and getting statically charged

Crt blurred things a bit, modern panels of course are more precise then past developers accounted for

It was not by my hand that I'm once again given flesh. I was called here by humans who wish to pay me tribute.
small comet
maybe one day i can justify spending millions on a fancy upscale thing

They are getting cheaper all the time

the one i heard most about is OSSC or smth
and it was the most interesting tbh
i dont mind hands on but the thing was expensive

wasn't there a pretty good crt filter for oled screens recently?
was something stuck on retroarch iirc
deft bloom
if not, let him defeat you and accept the failure, then go play ac
I have really fond memories of playing the first AC game on ps1, but haven't played any of the others since then. kind of interested in this, it looks fun and stuff, but mech setting generally isn't my jam I guess

why does the model in the screenshot look like a 2008 model
severe compass
Because its running on an engine made in 2011, based on an engine from 1997
Basically it's the Morrowind engine with some more modern features stapled on, and its bleeding to death constantly.
I honestly recommend people avoid preordering. I believe launch will be a shitshow

It'll be the best day of my life

I have no interest in the game.
So whether it fails is irrelevant to me sans studio profitability for TES6 and suxhm

I can't even play it so it's whatever
skyrim and fallout 4 both left me so disappointed, might as well wait this one out for a good while, no hurry to upgrade my pc now since bg3 works fine

Beth games will never feel the same way if they don't use Creation engine
I am happily contempt with Creation engine for Elder Scrolls cause it's the perfect engine for those games
severe compass
Yeah they'll feel better
feral ferry
I am rather unconvinced with using creation for Starfield
It's not a good engine for that kind of game
Again the game will get compared to No Man's Sky and Star Citizen
severe compass
Like bro, tes6 can only be improved with a new engine enabling a more streamlined development
feral ferry
The fact that in those 2 games, afaik, you can land on planets and take off with no cutscenes
Meanwhile creation engine HAS to use cutscenes for level transitions
Is a bit disappointing for Starfield
But TES6 will be great with Creation 2

Beth games will never feel the same way if they don't use Creation engine
Ah so old

Skyrim's combat similarly feels held back by the engine.

All jokes aside I was hoping for a full transition
That might happen
orchid prism
Skyrim's combat similarly feels held back by the engine.
Howso? Compared to what? Kingdom Come?
feral ferry
People will mask the space transition in somehow and mod it in
Skyrim's combat for some feels really plastic and has no heft to it
deft bloom
kcd unironically has 69x times better combat than skyrim, even if it's made too easy and anything but basic strikes are redundant when you progress in the game
deft bloom
but yeah skyrim's combat and animations are just floaty as fuck
feral ferry
Starfield... ehh
bleak pike
Honestly I couldn't stand Skyrim combat but I couldn't hold it against the game.
deft bloom
mm it's not the main draw anyway
bleak pike
Elder scrolls online however
severe compass
Howso? Compared to what? Kingdom Come?
Skyrim combat is just standing there hitting the attack button with very little manuevering, parrying or proper block mechanics
Most people engaged with Skyrim combat, by not engaging with it. Being stealth archers that kill all the enemies from a distance as combat becomes so boring

it's in saville row

You can say "personally I am ok with its below mediocre combat mechanics" mr duck, but I would prefer anything else

If you don't mod your game
You are not using the game properly
Skyrim modded with a one-click-install modpack like Nolvus is insane

Either go for some third person intense LoZ or DS shit, or maybe pull back into the RPG style and manage your character by clicking around

"fix"
It's called "updating the game to fit the modern generation combat mechanics expectations"
deft bloom
boobadick mod is all you need
bleak pike
Jesus the combat in that video still looks horrid
bleak pike
Skyrim was dated on release
deft bloom
dark souls 1 came out around the same time
skyrim combat felt super bad way back then too
feral ferry
You lot going to actually imply Dark Souls has good combat mechanics?
bleak pike
But it was made up for the fact it was a good game
deft bloom
yes
bleak pike
I have my own issues with dark souls
feral ferry
Dark Souls 1 is horrible, the combat is not any better than Skyrim ever was
It just has the souls formula going for it
deft bloom
opinion bad, disregarded
feral ferry
skyrim combat felt super bad way back then too
Opinion invalid, ignored
severe compass
Skyrim was primarily popular because it was the only real big aaa open world game. It's been surpassed by hundreds now
feral ferry
Skyrim is still relevant cause it's the most modded game in all of existence and people still make mods for it
High quality mods that would pass for DLCs in other games
severe compass
Dark Souls 1 combat is way better then Skyrim, and future DS games have gotten better
feral ferry
Completely fuckin free of charge
severe compass
Imagine those mods with new engine toys to play with
orchid prism
It feels bad it my point, it barely works
Again compared to what? There are precious few first person melee games.
feral ferry
Tbf yeah I would love a Creation 2 port of Skyrim
orchid prism
Especially back when Skyrim came out.
severe compass
Maybe it shouldn't be first person by default?
orchid prism
Being first person is what makes Skyrim good and unique.
Wanting to turn it into Dark Souls, a completely different genre is just wack.
feral ferry
Being first person is what makes Skyrim good and unique.
1st/3rd (even though nobody uses third for anything but traveling)
feral ferry
Maybe it shouldn't be first person by default?
That is just completely ignorant
severe compass
Most melee games go for third person to allow for more awareness for the player. It could be that first person melee just isn't good and maybe skyrim should abandon it
feral ferry
A lot of people don't like 3rd person combat
severe compass
Then why arent there more first person games?
novel umbra
I legit never touched 3rd person in skyrim
feral ferry
Just completely invalidating a game cause you don't like 1st person is like, okay, you just have an inherent bias
novel umbra
Then why arent there more first person games?
3rd person is more approachable for casuals
feral ferry
I legit never touched 3rd person in skyrim
Only for traveling, combat is really bad
novel umbra
3rd person is more approachable for casuals
makes limiting the camera and smoothing the shit out of it less obvious
feral ferry
Well mods make 3rd person camera really really damn good
orchid prism
Most melee games go for third person to allow for more awareness for the player....
Last I checked I wasn't piloting this bone and flesh human with a drone camera behind the shoulder
First person is all about immersion and lack of omnipotent awareness.
Not seeing a backstab coming, because your awareness is bad is a feature, not a problem.
severe compass
That is just completely ignorant
I find your comment ignorant. Morrowind and prior games was more rpg orientated with skills dictating whether you hit or miss
These got ripped out as Bethesda felt they didn't work.
orchid prism
I find your comment ignorant. Morrowind and prior games was more rpg orientated ...
They didn't.
deft bloom
the character model is just so floaty and everything you do looks like you weigh 0g, 3rd person is so bad compared to 1st in skyrim X)
feral ferry
Morrowind's combat mechanics were absolutely horrible
severe compass
Just completely invalidating a game cause you don't like 1st person is like, oka...
Like how
feral ferry
You think that swinging a sword and an invisible RNG machine dictating if you hit or not is a good mechanic?
I was dead ass confused when I tried morrowind for the first time why nothing was hitting
deft bloom
haha that's what confused me so bad when I first played morrowind, just when it came out
feral ferry
I had to google to find out that there is a chance mechanic where you hit or not
severe compass
Yeah they sucked, so they removed them.
You are arguing that Skyrims combat has to suck because its first person so I suggested maybe going third person by default
deft bloom
grew to love it of course, my favorite bethesda game for sure
feral ferry
Yeah they sucked, so they removed them.
You are arguing that Skyrims combat has...
Nobody ever argued that
I like Skyrim's first person combat as it is
severe compass
I don't
feral ferry
I prefer modded 3rd person combat though cause it makes the game feel like a good ass MMORPG
severe compass
Like I am just stating what I would prefer: a game with tighter, faster paced melee combat
feral ferry
Ok, and I respect that
And I love all kinds of combat mechanics, but Skyrim is my favourite just for what game it is
And I didn't even grow up with bethesda games either, I touched Skyrim, Oblivion and Fallout for the first time when I was like 15-16 or so, barely 8 years ago
I just really like how they feel

maybe just play games that try to appeal to you
instead of wanting for every game to do so

idk I vastly prefer from's combat to whatever bethesda has done so far, but I don't want it in a bethesda game still
severe compass
Look
Peoples
I made a suggestion, not a demand
novel umbra
and I made the suggestion to look at different games
feral ferry
where is the problem then
We'll see how Creation 2 changed up third and first person combat
I actually really liked Fallout 4's third person combat
It wasn't great, there were some camera glitches that would really put me off, like not shooting where crosshair was
severe compass
and I made the suggestion to look at different games
Well I suggest you stink >:(
orchid prism
Look
Peoples
I made a suggestion, not a demand

Ngl, I am planning to become a mod developer for Starfield when it launches if it is fun

I find Kingdom Cone's fighting a bit too combo and tryhard.
While it works for the character, I wouldn't want to see it in TES.
Having to thrust in specific movement patterns feels like something better left for VR.

Vehicles is defo something I will be trying to code in
feral ferry
I find Kingdom Cone's fighting a bit too combo and tryhard.
While it works for ...
KCD had pretty fun combat though, I kinda liked it
severe compass
Vehicles are going to be NPCs wearing hats
feral ferry
It's hard because it's realistic, or as realistic as it can ever be
deft bloom
it was really engaging and fun at the start, but became a drag pretty fast since you didn't even need to use it properly anymore when you got a good armor and a weapon
severe compass
deft bloom
what I want in the next TES game is just that the combat would feel meaty, weighty, hefty, something along those lines
severe compass
Creation engine is gamebryo with bells and whistles
feral ferry
Actually, if any of you never saw that someone made vehicles properly work in Fallout New Vegas
Including Vertibirds that fly
Fallout New Vegas with Frontier mod vehicles are some of the best vehicle physics ever
Like, Frontier was a shitshow
But they coded better physics for cars than Cyberpunk or GTA V lol
And no, there is no vehicles in Starfield from what I know
A really weird choice but, I'll figure out how to add them with a mod if they don't actually appear in the game
deft bloom
not necessarily a weird choice at all, probably means that the level design is more constricted than you are expecting
feral ferry
Level design is procedural generation
Minecraft, basically
I think why they did that is if you zoom around fast, you will really notice that there is a lack of content
deft bloom
you can procedurally generate smaller areas uknow
severe compass
Vehicle coding is probably gonna be a trip for modders to understand
feral ferry
Starfield will 100% become the space game for decades to come though
Cause you can make it into anything you want
People will make it into a star wars simulator

Right
So I found a rather old save that wasn't corrupted

It seems when games are GPU bound, Intel chips come on top

Someone got the Starfield early preview (actually a journalist) and is sharing their thoughts on it
- the game starts slow and tries not to overwhelm you with systems and choices, but it does get a bit overwhelming, so the first few hours are weird
- but once you get into the main story, it gets very good
- "it's mind-blowing how good this game looks for it being Creation Engine"
- "this game is something, I'll tell ya"
- 15 hours in and not a single bug so far.
Mind you, the journalist is not a bethesda shill, or at least to my knowledge never has been
Again, I did tell you lads, Starfield will not have a problem with bugs or stability
What I think Starfield will have a problem with is the "No Man's Sky effect"
Where you have absolutely no interest in continuing to explore barren, bland worlds and game gets boring
Canceling my preorder
I bought the damn thing for bugs
I am kind of not joking
I fuckin love Bethesda's bugs
Barely any of them are ever game-breaking or progression-breaking
But man are they entertaining

People stuck in animations
Idk, I.. kinda like that a lot

Neat!
So just nuke her down and use non lethal to knock her to 0

I found the best piece of dialogue in the game
"it doesn't fit but halsin is a fine healer"

Just careful with that game mechanic
Non-lethal sometimes bugs out and it is only-lethal

First rule of cRPGs. Safety saves. Always safety saves.

Non-lethal sometimes bugs out and it is only-lethal <:dogenek:110303192140926577...
You can't have any other elemental damage
Non-lethal only converts your base weapon damage
If you do any additional damage on top of that like fire or something then that will kill them

For everything else I alternate between different characters

and are upset you are terrible at it
feral ferry
In what scenario would a paladin have enough buffs to roll 30 in wisdom?
Stength? I can easily do that
Dex? I can do that
Wisdom you would never roll 30 with a paladin
feral ferry
Only when for this specific choice I can't switch characters
feral ferry
Not interested
I path my story so I will just keep rolling 5% until I get it
But the whole design of this game is just off\

The shelve houses my gameboy, gbasp (both with upgraded lcd's) psp-go, ps vita and switcch.

DSi was such a great handheld 💜💜

Actually only started with my 3ds when the new3ds came out in japan and later australia so I imported it from there.
I had a dsi but broke it thinking surely I could do a case replacement, surely I could do it on the floor, surely I could do it at 11 in the evening.
broke a flex cable and never bothered again. and got a psp-go
got my brother's ds lite he was no longer using, he doesn't care anyway.
fading spade
My DSi still works flawlessly
But the bottom display is damaged so I don't risk tapping it incase it gets worse
There is several glitchy vertical lines of pixels down it
But the screen works fine other than that

Still interesting time with the n3ds being out in japan and australia but not in europe and the us.
Even though the australian version is just the pal version and even comes with a dutch language option from the start.

Because no DLSS x d
feral ferry
I wonder how fast will modders incorporate DLSS
Well, with DLSS I imagine it won't be all that difficult
How about XeSS though
I still have no clue why NV and Intel fanboys are bitching about omitting DLSS or XeSS, FSR is platform agnostic
It's just bitching for the sake of bitching about things that don't matter
still spire
Someone alread is but he's charging
They are bitching because FSR is shit
And should never be used
There's tons of videos about this
feral ferry
Someone alread is but he's charging
That was a false rumour
Guy came out and said he won't charge I think
still spire
Digital Foundry has a doze nvideos on FSR2 at this point
He changed his mind? Just yesterday he said he would charge for it
feral ferry
You do realize none of those videos matter?
Show me a single video of a person actually playing games with DLSS vs FSR and then saying their opinions
Side by side comparisons do not represent gaming experience
Cause you will absolutely never notice any difference while gaming

You can't judge the quality of the model when the image was taken with a 2 megapixel camera

Because they're naughty, crappifying the quality makes it harder to identify who leaks
feral ferry
Come on

Sounds legit
feral drum
And should never be used
Let's be real here for a second. If you'd have used FSR and compare it to DLSS you'd know what you're talking about. But obviously you do not. Both techniques are upscaling things and increasing your FPS. In some cases both can make an unplayable game a pleasant experience after all and that's what matters. If DLSS and FSR wouldn't exist you'd suffer from all kinds of issues. FSR and DLSS are basically and literally the last option you should go to when you're experiencing FPS drops and low FPS to begin with and Frame Gen isn't better.
Anyways, point is that FSR and DLSS are basically free FPS, regardless of its quality. DLSS is better in direct comparison, yes, but it's restricted to NV cards only and only to specific generations, meanwhile FSR is for the wider audience. It's like iOS vs Android. If the apps on iOS wouldn't be as optimized as they are every iPhone owner would have an experience they'd never return to
fringe salmon
upscaling still has gpu overhead so it's not free and doesnt always make low framerate games playable
and that is even if you ignore the artifacts they all still cause
so they are neither free in terms of image quality nor frametime

Were there tests on FSR vs DLSS weight on GPU?
fringe salmon
amd made a table for fsr(2) on different gpus but I dont think nvidia did
and testing that would require getting the time it takes for fsr to run inside the frametime of the rendered frame
idk if you can test that without writing own code for it

isn't there something similar to Frame Gen going about to drop soon?

yeah hopefully in a better way
