[last matrix]

read each word carefully before reacting: Start. Simple.

[astral tangle]

You have to understand it’s about drive and it’s about power

[night grove]

🍿

[quasi mantle]

ffs

[left granite]

@zinc matrix bro you are a beginner to ue
watch some tuts and learn

yes start simple

bro

[astral tangle]

What’s simple for you

[last matrix]

im not talking about the past, talking right now

[left granite]

parkour is extremely complex

face the reality
yes you are

[night grove]

Rocks? Drive? Power? 😕

[astral tangle]

Are the tutorials 3 hours long?

[quasi mantle]

What about creating assets, like maps, models, animations, sound effects, music? Or maybe grand plan or story writing?

[last matrix]

like a simple game....?

[astral tangle]

Even basic games need maps

And assets

[left granite]

well learn and make

[astral tangle]

Unless you’re creating a course and using the default movement with unreal engine

[quasi mantle]

If you can't grasp gameplay programming then it's not for you.

[astral tangle]

It’s gonna be a bit harder

[night grove]

You like guns and parkour? I'd say start with a basic infinite runner where the player has the ability to shoot. Parkour physics is complicated to implement.

[astral tangle]

^

[left granite]

i dont get what
bro we all came from where you are
so first step is to LEARN

[night grove]

The infinite runner aspect will be a close approximation to "the experience" that can be adapted later when you are more confident in your dev skills

3rd person, fps, w/e you want. Doesn't really matter.

[astral tangle]

That’s what they’re there for

[last matrix]

@zinc matrix you cant maintain motivation, you negatively critique your skillset, you do not recognize help, you are stubborn in your vision, you lack discipline, and you have selfish goals - can we be done now? oh right, you go in loops

[quasi mantle]

Also I said it and I'll say it again.

If you break the project files, you can always make a new one.

[night grove]

You will have to determine how to push the player forward, how to jump over pits etc, and how to have enemies

[last matrix]

actually in that response, you do

[night grove]

If you want the game to be 2d, then sure. I personally wouldn't use UE4 for 2d though.

[quasi mantle]

You're the one who's getting addicted to the loop. Let's be honest here.

[night grove]

Yeah that would be a good start

[astral tangle]

Like a side scroller with 3d models?

[left granite]

elon musk once said
DONT GIVE UP

[night grove]

And be real, it's not about actually finishing the runner. It's about breaking the loop. You can use the infinite running part as a metaphor for your problems.

[astral tangle]

You can start with third person and move the player camera to a more suitable spot to give the side scroller appearance

[quasi mantle]

Do yourself a favour and take a break. Come back when you're less frustrated.

[left granite]

good luck

[last matrix]

great! Can i have my therapy license now?

[quasi mantle]

You better fucking will, mate. Godspeed.

[night grove]

My turn my turn! Can I get stuff off my chest?!?!

[last matrix]

ehhh

[night grove]

Hi my name is Chromatic and I'm a game dev a holic

[quasi mantle]

If it's men oppai, no

[last matrix]

Hi Chromatic.

[left granite]

i think we couple of therapists here

[night grove]

I have this problem where I build stuff... And it's terrible.

So I build it again.

And again.

and again.

[astral tangle]

Just build better lol

[quasi mantle]

Deja vu!

[left granite]

oh i have this problem too

[night grove]

I think I need a better hammer

[last matrix]

well... you see, when you were little, you developed an anal fixation and that's doomed you utterly

[quasi mantle]

Also hi, I'm Rama, and I need to finish dealing with RDG hehehe

[night grove]

So that's why I like a..... wait a minute!

[last matrix]

ah, well, according to Freud, that's a representation of phallic loss so, you should feel insecure now

[zinc matrix]

I'm stutter, and I suffer from game dev focus syndrome

[astral tangle]

Guys it’s been a week and I haven’t finished my Triple-A FPS Call Of Duty game

[last matrix]

Hi Stutter

[last matrix]

you should feel bad

[zinc matrix]

That's when my project doesn't move forward a whole lot because I focus too much on one thing

[last matrix]

NEXT!

[night grove]

Hi stutter! 👋

I need to add zombies that shoot guns to my game.

[last matrix]

well, Stutter, can I call you Stutter? You see, it all stems from when you were a child

[quasi mantle]

Game Awards commenced now bois

[night grove]

🍿🍿

[last matrix]

yeah, still kinda sleeping

[quasi mantle]

Fortunately it was morning in my timezone lol

[zinc matrix]

What are they covering?

[last matrix]

i mean, snoozville

some music

[night grove]

Games you didn't make

Zing!

[zinc matrix]

you don't say

[last matrix]

Forza won best audio design

[night grove]

Also, games I didn't make!

[zinc matrix]

Is it games everyone knows about?

[quasi mantle]

Gotta drop my cent into the wishing well
Hoping for one day, a game that I make appears on TGA.

[night grove]

I think a lot of us feel that way

[last matrix]

how else would this get publicized?

[quasi mantle]

Not the current game I'm working, but whatever next game I have in mind. I've been wanting to do more sci-fi stuff for a while now, but I'm shelving it for after my current project is completed.

[last matrix]

honestly in the same boat. been on a big synthwave kick for awhile, but also been working on fantasy for longer

[zinc matrix]

I've came a long way in UE stuff this year I think. Before it was very on and off and I didn't do a whole lot

could be fun

It is fun when you successfully scare someone

[night grove]

I'm just trying to get SOMETHING to a sharable state within the next few months

Well I have a specific plan

But I'm keeping the scope small. It's tough to keep scope small.

[last matrix]

whoa, think i saw Inscryption for a moment

yeah not a surprise its Kena

[zinc matrix]

all the epic guys at epic

missed opportunity

[fathom wadi]

make a horror game where an Unreal Engine developer opens his project and it's been converted to Unity.
Actually don't. That's too damn scary.

[left granite]

any ideas for a puzzle game

[quasi mantle]

Puzzle game where it all about being trippy

It has to be 😛

[night grove]

Yeah it is. Senua was featured in one of the megascans promos

I mean metahumans

Sorry... lol

[left granite]

https://tenor.com/view/confused-unga-bunga-loading-uga-gif-23786525

[last matrix]

the barometer of a good game engine is the number of rocks that can be rendered

[quasi mantle]

But but
what about foliages?

[last matrix]

i see none 😑

[quasi mantle]

Go green they said

Yes, Hellblade 2 is UE5

[zinc matrix]

UE5; the best rock simulator and much more!

[last matrix]

Death Stranding doesn't hold a candle to them rocks

i want to play as one of the drum guys in this game

[quasi mantle]

Go play osu taiko then

[zinc matrix]

it's a music game 100%

[last matrix]

i knew it! it is star wars

[quasi mantle]

Quantic Dream??

WTF

[void lantern]

hoyl crap

insane

mind blown

[last matrix]

i just realize i have better things to do

[void lantern]

#starwarseclipse

[quasi mantle]

That's one way to put job vacancy, Bethesda.

Of course the big vampire lady lol

Alan Wake 2 😮

Yeah right XD

[soft night]

Finns get ready

[quasi mantle]

🇫🇮

[soft night]

Finland mentioned

as Sam Lake was there

[quasi mantle]

Sam Lake brought the entire Finland with him

[soft night]

its time for Sonic the hedgehog

more blue

[bronze axle]

I just got home. Missed the first 30 minutes.

I saw Alan Wake II got announced. That's cool.

[quasi mantle]

something something grinder go brr

[pearl elk]

oh no Im missing it

[quasi mantle]

Tails look good ngl

[pearl elk]

tbh I bet most people watch for the game announces not the awards

and the award for the best only decent game released in this category this year goes to

[quasi mantle]

lul

[pearl elk]

most of em tbh, cept maybe Resident Evil

[soft night]

Monsys lost ark

[pearl elk]

'Covid"

[shell garden]

go home, EGS, you're drunk

[soft night]

audio design awards went to Forza Horizon 5

[shell garden]

oh yeah, really funking hard to design audio for a goddamn racing game

[pearl elk]

yeah its not bad but I still feel like the music felt alot like it was ripped from a game about the UK and put in Mexico

but never having been to Mexico maybe there is a heavily UK influence there

[shell garden]

it's not like we haven't had 3rd- and 1st-person 3d racing games with realistic audio since the playstation 1 or anything

[quasi mantle]

What about 2nd person racing game?
The one where Nick Robinson drooled about

[pearl elk]

I dunno why as gamers we copied the Academy Awards format

[shell garden]

racing game audio design peaked in 1997 with carmageddon. there has been no superior game since then

[quasi mantle]

FF7R for PC yoooooo

[pearl elk]

they coulda had everyone roll dice to see if they win the award 😛

[bronze axle]

Nice. Hope it's a good port since it's UE4.

[shell garden]

that cow splatter noise is just 😗 👌

[bronze axle]

Yikes. That Game Pass ad was cringy.

Lots of free game codes, though.

[shell garden]

of course it was. it's microsoft

[bronze axle]

Fair point. lol

[shell garden]

any GOOD games?

[quasi mantle]

Really hope so. They did a lot of customisation to UE4, hoping for decent port.

[pearl elk]

plenty of good games, any great games?

I almost forgot about the other Matrix games tbh

then I was like riiight they had some sort of MMO didnt they

[shell garden]

you mean max payne 2?

[tall jacinth]

hey guys, anyone here use shadow play extensively?

[pearl elk]

Enter the Payne

[tall jacinth]

I know about separate audio tracks, so I have that setup correctly. But is there a way to also separate my friend's chat that's coming through Steam?

i.e. is there a way to have game audio and steam chat separate?

or is OBS the only way

[soft night]

🇫🇮

[tall jacinth]

not that I Know how to do that just that it has more options

[quasi mantle]

Finland represent again

[tall jacinth]

moi moi

[pearl elk]

and the award for best remaster goes to...

[quasi mantle]

Housemarque's Finnish right?

[soft night]

yeah

now that studio is owned by playstation too

[shell garden]

not directly with shadowplay, no. if you have a fancy enough soundcard (or a virtual cable thingy), you might be able to tell steam's chat to output to a different device, but then it wouldn't record in shadowplay

[zinc matrix]

finland's GDP relies on gamedevs))))))))

I just see so many finnish devs here lol

[tall jacinth]

am I correct to say that it's all about channels? If I do a different device, wouldn't that then make it impossible for me to hear him lol e.g. I have headphones, speakers and my VR that can all be output devices

[soft night]

ROG LIve on rog nordic channel was mostly finns on last weekend

[quasi mantle]

It's an Unreal Engine game

Just looking by the lens flares lol

[pearl elk]

gah I really hate these awards things, just reminds me how much not like the rest of the industry I am 😦

[bronze axle]

Twisted game.

Love the music from Akira Yamaoka.

[quasi mantle]

I felt like not many devs are willing to modify Unreal's stock lens flare lol

[bronze axle]

Did they already show the Matrix Awakens at the beginning? Did I miss that?

[quasi mantle]

Not yet.

[bronze axle]

Oh cool.

[pearl elk]

is it a game by Andy Serkis 😛

[shell garden]

basically yes. you might be able to get it set up how you want with enough fiddling and virtual cable software but it's this sort of thing why i decided to use OBS for my own streaming/recording

[quasi mantle]

That Unreal Lens Flares again lol

oh my wow

[night grove]

Is he just stringing together all the buzz words?

[quasi mantle]

I've been seeing Unreal's stock lens flare far too many times now 🤓

[pearl elk]

buzz lightyear 😮

made you look

[quasi mantle]

Ever since using Froyo's lens flare solution, I never see the stock lens flares the same again

[bronze axle]

Froyo does good work.

I love his post process effects.

[zinc matrix]

Froyo lens flare?

I need to know more

[night grove]

LOL! Beatsaber on PC

Actual experience may vary

No kidding

[quasi mantle]

https://www.froyok.fr/blog/2021-09-ue4-custom-lens-flare/

[night grove]

But advertising the quest

[zinc matrix]

Thanks

How about making the industry les "cringe" in terms of advertisement?

[quasi mantle]

ngl, those are pretty cringe

[zinc matrix]

"look guys I'm a gamer doing gamer things and I buy food from this company very gamer of me"

[night grove]

She totally filmed that on her phone

[pearl elk]

the industry isnt cringe, we're just old

[quasi mantle]

Guess being almost 23 is old enough

[pearl elk]

23 is ancient, 6 yr olds are making a killing on YT

[quasi mantle]

Or 14 being political on Twitter

[zinc matrix]

I didn't need to see a cuphead 20s band

[quasi mantle]

It's more of 50s, but okay

[pearl elk]

so many cartoon games

[quasi mantle]

https://tenor.com/view/monkey-look-the-other-way-look-away-awkward-weird-gif-17246188

[zinc matrix]

ay we call them simplified aesthetic artstyles™️

[pearl elk]

I remember going back and watching Robotech thinking how the hell did 5yr old me understand all this

they dont even make cartoons like they used to

its all this cutesy babble talk stuff

I blame mumble rap

[pearl compass]

Watch better anime, hommie

[pearl elk]

the best anime is from robotech days homie

[zinc matrix]

"graphics don't matter bro"

[pearl compass]

I didnt argue that; that is my era. But you are saying its all shit, nope... you just dont look hard enough

[bronze axle]

Yu Yu Hakusho is my jam.

[pearl elk]

I didnt say that, I was referring to whats being shown on this game awards feed

[pearl elk]

yes we are talking about the game awards, its been the topic for hours

[bronze axle]

Indeed.

[pearl compass]

Robotech the cartoon is from 1985. move the goals 😄

[quasi mantle]

Kojima.

[bronze axle]

Kojima has arrived.

[pearl elk]

yes its more about the topic of age in relation to the industry

follow the convo dont cherry pick

[quasi mantle]

Kojima promoting a film

[pearl compass]

like I said, move the goals

[bronze axle]

Oh. He's promoting his friend's movie.

[quasi mantle]

BB reference tho

[pearl elk]

yeah blocked

[pearl compass]

you said they dont do it like the old days. Ok, old man, missed your cloud

[soft night]

SOnic fronties 🙂

[bronze axle]

Guillermo Del Toro just said he wished there was a new Silent Hill game in a very tongue-in-cheek way. 👀

[quasi mantle]

Take that, Konami.

[pearl elk]

I would like to see Guillermo Del Toro make some games tbh, dont care if its Silent Hill related or not

[bronze axle]

That would be cool.

[shell garden]

loud valley 👍

[pearl elk]

hype everything as long as you wear a glittery silver dress

[quasi mantle]

Kinda wished Geoff read out the full version number for NieR Replicant lol

[bronze axle]

lol

[pearl elk]

just wait till the new Matrix comes out, try avoiding spoilers

[quasi mantle]

I haven't read twitter for months now

[night grove]

What's twitter?

[quasi mantle]

Twitter is an alternate universe

nuff said

NGL, I never heard Luna platform until now

[pearl elk]

thats what we call the moon

oh you fixed it 😛

[bronze axle]

Everyone wants a piece of the game streaming pie.

Well, not me.

[quasi mantle]

Me neither

[pearl elk]

Netflix certainly do

[soft night]

lurker awards of the year goes to Manny

[turbid spindle]

@zinc matrix, :8ball: Concentrate and ask again.

[bronze axle]

!8ball Are you the best lurker of 2021?

[turbid spindle]

@bronze axle, :8ball: My reply is no.

[fathom wadi]

I've been lurking for the last year instead of helping out. Feelsbad though because I want to help out

[night grove]

You would think there were only like 10 games made this year

[quasi mantle]

Manny be self deprecating 😦

[night grove]

They just keep cycling through the nomination categories

[pearl elk]

hype building, more important than world building 😛

[quasi mantle]

Cyberpunk 2077 in a nutshell

[night grove]

Yeah I'm seeing that

Doesn't matter what I do in VS or UE4, just matters who I get to talk about the game

[pearl elk]

actually Cyberpunks world is better than Farcry 6 imo

[soft night]

!8ball are you the best lurker?

[turbid spindle]

@soft night, :8ball: Signs point to yes.

[pearl elk]

I can pick apart lots of games though

[quasi mantle]

That was the one UE4 game with that devlog, right?

I swear I see Tchia's WIP posts everywhere

Superheroes add costs to collateral damage smh

Oh cool, it's that one isekai game

Okay, admission, I wrote draft for Past Future since 2018, and somehow coincidentally the story seem to be similar to Forspoken

[void lantern]

If they play the matrix theme and get Keanu reeves on scene i'm gonna explode

[quasi mantle]

Isekai action RPG, with female protagonist, magics, fantasy world.
Somehow, coincidentally similar to my project O_O

[pearl elk]

they hacked your computer and stole your game ideas

[quasi mantle]

Square Enix better pay me idea royalty 😠

[soft night]

or hire you

[pearl elk]

tbh if game ideas were being stolen why does Google not make the best games 😛

[quasi mantle]

I'm just kidding

If anything, it could be a reference to improve Past Future's story

So far, the draft still kind of messy, unclear mid parts.

[bronze axle]

Skin Guys Fall Guys

[quasi mantle]

Like, for example, I still don't know how am I supposed to get Nala (the protagonist) motivated to really go back home, whatever it takes. Being a bounty hunter and cause trouble? Or work with the government?

[soft night]

from fallguys to ea ad

[quasi mantle]

I guess being bounty hunter to make living, and cause enough trouble until the kingdom notice her doings?

The problem is that she can't, but she didn't know if it's improbable for her to go back home.

[bronze axle]

Very cool. Dread looks good.

[quasi mantle]

tbh I'm not into Nintendo stuff (anymore)

[bronze axle]

Tiny Tina basically looks like Borderlands but high fantasy instead of sci-fi. Which could work!

[soft night]

SUS VR would that work?

[quasi mantle]

sus in vr lmao

[bronze axle]

Oh wow.

That ought to be interesting. lol

[quasi mantle]

ngl, K-pop isn't my jam lol

(which may sound weird because I prefer J way more than K)

[bronze axle]

I don't think I listen to any K-pop.

Ugh, the wub wubs.

They can't resist.

[night grove]

Wait what? Spotify on game awards?

[quasi mantle]

Because people apparently listen to Spotify on console

[bronze axle]

Yeah. Spotify partnered with them to stream the awards audio only I think.

[night grove]

Oh that makes more sense

Sponsorship

[quasi mantle]

Well, I did sometimes, but not even that frequent as doing it on PC/phone

[bronze axle]

Geoff did a podcast leading up to the awards, too. It was pretty good.

[night grove]

According to Microsoft, people should do everything on their console

[bronze axle]

https://newsroom.spotify.com/2021-11-22/get-your-headsets-ready-because-spotify-is-teaming-up-with-the-game-awards/

[quasi mantle]

Oh wow, another boomer shooter?

I was a metalhead, but hey, I'm down for boomer shooter stuff

[night grove]

I found the damage text a bit distracting

But I'm more for minimal UI / text in games

Am I missing something? Why would I want to play a mobile game on my PC?

[quasi mantle]

Mobile games on PC? I won't say my favourite mobile rhythm game will work on mouse, but I'm all for the performance lol

[night grove]

If I'm sitting at my PC with game time, I'd prefer more... substance.

Though my dad plays mobile games with bluestacks I think?

Some emulator

[quasi mantle]

It's more of a scuffed VirtualBox

[soft night]

well windows have now Android Subsystem for Windows

[quasi mantle]

Reggie's out of the chair

[bronze axle]

Always good to see Reggie.

[quasi mantle]

Final Fantasy 14 TOTALLY DESERVES IT!!!

[night grove]

Wow

they really turned that game around

[quasi mantle]

I would've mad if Genshin Impact was selected

[night grove]

Me too

The aesthetics for Genshin are amazing, but the game is quite shallow

[soft night]

more was like it have to be Fortnite

[night grove]

I was thinking it was going to be Apex or Fortnite

[bronze axle]

Something published by Epic.

[quasi mantle]

***verse thing

[soft night]

Rubleverse thing

[bronze axle]

Rumbleverse in the metaverse, scripted with Verse.

[quasi mantle]

Things apparently cooler with verse suffix

[bronze axle]

Prepare to see a lot of it in the next few years.

[quasi mantle]

Chances are it was lifted from MS FS engine

Maybe not, I heard Asobo used another of their own engine for MSFS

No, it wasn't.

APT Innocence uses Asobo's custom engine

I wish Fortnite's also in first person

Also seeing that they had Gears of War skins makes me smile, ngl

Lest they not forget their past

FH5 won best racing game as well eh

[bronze axle]

Wow no wonder this guy is nervous. Releasing a game on stage at TGA. 😅

[regal pecan]

GTFO again?

maybe it's an expansion

[bronze axle]

1.0, leaving early access.

It's out now with a launch discount.

[quasi mantle]

God, I keep forgetting to add class namespace smh

Ugh, muted that ad 😛

[soft night]

forza get things

[bronze axle]

I love Jeff Goldblum, but I guess he's doing some pretty silly stuff these days.

[last matrix]

TGA still going?

[bronze axle]

It's weird to see someone like him doing a mobile game ad.

[bronze axle]

Yep, 3-hour show.

[quasi mantle]

Still going

[bronze axle]

Should be about 25 minutes left.

[last matrix]

okay, thought i was just getting a bunch of commercials

[quasi mantle]

lmao, same

I should make a pedal control to mute YouTube when a live ad is rolling, particularly with those mobile games.

[last matrix]

i got a mute button on keybo

[night grove]

Youtube videos start on mute for me, b/c they are almost always preceded with ads

[bronze axle]

Halo live action series.

[quasi mantle]

I hope it features a honey farmer

[bronze axle]

I would probably get that reference if I played Halo games.

Donald Mustard on stage. Maybe it's time to enter the Matrix.

[quasi mantle]

Oh, now it's Epic's time pog

[last matrix]

I hope Elon Act 4 heard what Donald had to say about game dev

[bronze axle]

Never mind, he's presenting an award.

[void lantern]

Halo serie looks tight

hehe

[quasi mantle]

Did he had a speech on it at one point?

[last matrix]

said that it took a lot of people to make a game

[night grove]

Just now

[void lantern]

French accent overload

[last matrix]

maybe we have some time delay or something

[void lantern]

didn't know death loop was from a french studio

[last matrix]

haha loop joke

[night grove]

I was thinking it as well

Stuck in a loop!

[last matrix]

there's your time benchmark

[quasi mantle]

The Loop(TM)

Maybe he's a big fan of Deathloop, I dunno

[last matrix]

https://tenor.com/view/ohhh-whoah-gif-14206432

[void lantern]

Did a miss the matrix thingy?

[quasi mantle]

Not yet

[bronze axle]

Nope.

Guessing they're going to close with it.

[last matrix]

surprised and somehow not surprised about Elden

[void lantern]

hope it won't be a 'déjà vu'

[bronze axle]

Congrats to the Guilty Gear team.

Well deserved.

[zinc matrix]

MFS in the same category as strategy wut

[void lantern]

this year is so dry

i mena in award contest

the announcements were great

[quasi mantle]

Yeah, figured out lol

[bronze axle]

Keighley gets the scoops.

Elden Ring has people going wild.

[void lantern]

what is it?

[bronze axle]

The next game from From Software, makers of the Dark Souls series.

It's a collaboration with George R. R. Martin, too.

It looks good. The debut trailer was very cool.

[void lantern]

never played dark soul, always heard it was incredibly hard

[bronze axle]

If nothing else, this game has a very beautiful and creepy world.

Really great monster design, too.

[last matrix]

no horse!?

[bronze axle]

Trippy.

I will definitely play that game.

Release date!

Oh wait, that's not new.

[last matrix]

i got a dentist appointment that day... wont be forgetting

[bronze axle]

Hah nice.

[zinc matrix]

epic time

[bronze axle]

Indeed.

[void lantern]

Here we go

[bronze axle]

Get ready for metaverse Neo.

I'm excited because it's a UE5 project.

[quasi mantle]

I don't think they going to stream the realtime experience live on stage

[bronze axle]

Probably not unless it's very short.

[last matrix]

quest 2 will confirm truck

[night grove]

I want that fear truck

[void lantern]

I'm glad they're adding some serie/movie trailer teasers

Guillermo Del Toro trailer was incredible

[night grove]

Screw the Quest though. I'm putting a real headset in it.

Stream has had some nasty lag spikes for me as well

[void lantern]

If they play the Matrix "Wake Up" Theme i'm gonna explode

[quasi mantle]

I was coding so I didn't notice the lag

Oh, blue GPU 👀

[night grove]

It's pretty noticeable if you get it. Sound cuts out.

My internet here is terrible though

[quasi mantle]

I hope Intel GPU's actually support mesh distance fields 😛

[bronze axle]

I guess my connection is sturdy tonight. Been streaming in 4K with no latency at all.

[night grove]

I have "1 gig internet"

But it's from comcast b/c that's the only provider in the area

So.... It's no where near 1gig

And the latency on the connection is terrible, because it's still copper

[bronze axle]

I have Comcast, too. Not their gig plan, though. It's not fiber. I don't know who they think they're fooling.

[night grove]

Someday I'll move somewhere with fiber

[quasi mantle]

Unreal Engine specifically blacklisted Intel GPUs from using mesh distance fields

[bronze axle]

Fiber is a game changer. I definitely want it someday, mostly for the better upload speeds.

[last matrix]

still on 56k here, no probs

[night grove]

I had Century link fiber in my last house and it was awesome. 99.99999% uptime and oh the speed

[bronze axle]

Right now, uploading anything remotely large chokes my entire connection.

[void lantern]

yay Embark

at last

[quasi mantle]

I've been curious as to what they're up to 👀
Also heard that they use Blender to create assets, imported to UE4

[void lantern]

hehe , the Battlefront feel

lol youtube chat: "Battlefront 3"

[quasi mantle]

OMG I love that old logo aesthetics ❤️

[bronze axle]

Same. Digging the retro vibes.

Matrix time folks.

I love Keanu's sense of humor.

[quasi mantle]

Unreal Engine 5

[last matrix]

oooo too soon

[zinc matrix]

keanu is sounding like a tech presenter

but also not

[bronze axle]

Keanu. ❤️

[void lantern]

Keanu ❤️

haha

[last matrix]

xbox x and a**

[bronze axle]

No love for PC.

[void lantern]

PCCCCCCCCCCCCC

[quasi mantle]

Someone ought to record it on YT

[bronze axle]

Epic just uploaded it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WU0gvPcc3jQ

Almost 11 minutes long, so I guess this is the entire thing.

[quasi mantle]

Gotta check it later 👀

Oh boy, time to close YT chat

[zinc matrix]

I always close it

[bronze axle]

I can't even see it.

[zinc matrix]

It gives me illness

[quasi mantle]

(it's not like I had it open lol)

[bronze axle]

I use an amazing web extension that makes YouTube so, so much better.

[quasi mantle]

Same story, I'd say.

The online community will still going to shit on ND

[bronze axle]

TGA is always better on YouTube. 4K and generally better quality, at least for me.

[last matrix]

its called Twitch 😉

[bronze axle]

lol

I'm quite content watching on YouTube in 4K. 🙂

[last matrix]

is everyone here on yt? maybe that explains the offset

[quasi mantle]

My second monitor had YT

[night grove]

I'm watching it through steam

Maybe I'm an imposter

[last matrix]

lol

gamer musician

[night grove]

poser

[last matrix]

you know which one

[quasi mantle]

Try streaming it in Unreal Engine 4 with Web Browser Widget

[night grove]

Oh... I should have streamed it through the epic launcher

[bronze axle]

Here's what my YouTube looks like.

[night grove]

Then I would have torn a hole in the space-time continuum,

[bronze axle]

The way it should be.

[last matrix]

refresh, it shouldnt be frozen

[bronze axle]

?

[last matrix]

bad joke 😛

[bronze axle]

Here's the extension I use. https://unhook.app/

Highly recommended if you use YouTube a lot but want more control over the interface.

It can hide the Trending tab and redirect the home page to your subs, too.

[quasi mantle]

Whoa

[bronze axle]

It's not a virus.

[quasi mantle]

It Takes Two got GOTY

[bronze axle]

Good for them. 🙂

[last matrix]

yo thats great, ty pfist

[quasi mantle]

Well deserved

[bronze axle]

Josef is on cloud nine.

[quasi mantle]

Yeah, I love his energetic speech lol

Now about the matrix they owed me.

[bronze axle]

Dude the UE5 Matrix thing looks nuts.

[void lantern]

i want to try it on pc mannn

[bronze axle]

I know right.

[quasi mantle]

I'm a potato so I look on YouTube 🙃

Wasn't even able to bought PS5 on time this year smh

[void lantern]

is this a legal issue or they just don't want people comparing pc and consoles

[bronze axle]

Same. Still don't have one.

[last matrix]

they want to give it some time before pc modders add d**k overhauls

[quasi mantle]

I don't think UE games are that easily moddable 🤔

[last matrix]

at least ue4, they have mod features

[void lantern]

man watching the youtube demo of the matrix demo

insane

[quasi mantle]

Is it just me or the 60 FPS video isn't actually 60 FPS?

[last matrix]

its in works https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MobYn8XVp6U

[void lantern]

you cna always sample a 30fps video game 60times per second <.<

[last matrix]

there are also other ways without the plugin, but yeah, mod support is a thing

[quasi mantle]

But it's bizzare that they don't just go with 30 FPS capture when the app runs at 30 FPS

[void lantern]

actual fps might fluctuate

but you can have a capture card sample the signal and generate a 60fps video

[quasi mantle]

Though it's difficult to implement in official capacity

[bronze axle]

There are some unannounced features in this UE5 tech demo.

Mass Framework and Rule Processor.

[quasi mantle]

What are thoooose? 👀

[bronze axle]

Mass Framework is a crowd and traffic AI system; Rule Processor is rule-based, automated object placement.

[void lantern]

watching the video even further

holy crap

[quasi mantle]

I wish UE5 stable is easy on low end hardware, without the Lumens and Nanites. I really have been craving for crowd AI system for a while now

Those features are so tempting for me to broke my own words lmao

[bronze axle]

Rule Processor:

A new rules-based data structure system ingests the Houdini point cloud of the city and enables the huge dataset to be managed at speed in UE5.

Mass:

Mass is Unreal Engine's high-performing solution to populate large worlds with a vast amount of simulated and interactive entities, such as the crowds and traffic all around the city.

From this website. https://www.unrealengine.com/en-US/wakeup

[last matrix]

ahh now i gotta start learning houdini

[void lantern]

man, i have never seen an open world like that before

closest there is might be those spider man games

[quasi mantle]

Man, the rendering of the character is so good there

like WTF

[last matrix]

what about Cyberpunk? 😁

[void lantern]

thye put it to shame man

[bronze axle]

^UE5

[last matrix]

AH!

[bronze axle]

It looks good.

[quasi mantle]

Looks way better than Johnny Silverhand (or REDengine 4's rendering)

[bronze axle]

Definitely.

[quasi mantle]

I can't help but felt something's off with CP2077's character rendering

[bronze axle]

Some of the demo looks a little uncanny, but Keanu's bit at the beginning is very convincing.

[zinc matrix]

Welp. That sure is convincing

[last matrix]

the first cinematic for the game looked great, but the second with the action sequences looked a lot worse

[quasi mantle]

Also spot the MetaHumans at the begining 😛

[void lantern]

gib pc version to me

[bronze axle]

MatrixHuman.

[last matrix]

am i missing something here, both are in game right?

[fathom wadi]

https://tenor.com/view/keanu-reeves-youre-breathtaking-gif-14325694

[rare sparrow]

I figured the first teaser with the super close-up of Keanu was really a digital human

[pearl elk]

this reminds me of a song from back in the day, more human than human

[void lantern]

they alternate between real shot and digital copy at the start

[fathom wadi]

I heard that song live in concert

[last matrix]

booo

nah i figured

[zinc matrix]

no way

[fathom wadi]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E0E0ynyIUsg

[zinc matrix]

im new to this stuff btw i havent even really gone on ue

[quasi mantle]

"Stay the hell away from marketing"

Will do. 😉

[void lantern]

Also, i missed Massive Attack "Dissolved Girl" at the start hehe

[zinc matrix]

https://i.imgur.com/l6xt9IW.png

[bronze axle]

Pretty sure we're being fooled. I think Keanu at the beginning is real, then it switches to MetaHuman later.

[void lantern]

I like the bit about actor remaining perpetually young

gonna give ideas to owner of the "Speed" franchise haha

let's get young keanu back

[fathom wadi]

as long as he doesnt do a sequel to point break

[quasi mantle]

The cloth wrinkles looked way too good at the beginning

[void lantern]

@fathom wadi 😏

[bronze axle]

Pretty sure the bottom one is UE5, the top one is actually Keanu.

[pearl elk]

fake tshirt, how is the collar not stretched from his fat head 😛

[rugged jetty]

yea the hairs kinda show it

[bronze axle]

Yeah, and the skin.

I'm not impressed anymore. lmao

[void lantern]

ofc top is real, too much detail in beard and all skin pores

[fathom wadi]

peppering on the beard gives it away for me

[bronze axle]

I thought it was all UE5.

[void lantern]

that's still pretty cool

[quasi mantle]

Well the concept was "How do we know what is real"

Guess that's the reason no PC version

[bronze axle]

Heh.

[pearl elk]

it all looks like compressed video to me ;P

[quasi mantle]

PCs have wider hardware range, it could spoil the guessing game far too early

[void lantern]

young keanu is so badass in the demo

if there were a pc version the models would have all been ripped alreayd by now

[quasi mantle]

I don't think it's that fast.

[pearl elk]

umm the package format is the same on console, just copy/paster

[quasi mantle]

Chances are that the pak file would be encrypted, and rippers would have to figure out the crypto first

[void lantern]

you don't need the pak file decode

as soon as it loads in GPU ram, you can make dump of this data

[zinc matrix]

dayummm

bruh how do u learn how to do that?

[quasi mantle]

Lest you got a bald keanu 😳

[quasi mantle]

Multi billion dollar companies, that's how.

[void lantern]

so the one who managed to exit the matrix? 😏

[zinc matrix]

ah

i see

lol

ea still cant manage to do that, they only have lags and scary glitches

[void lantern]

In the video beyond the model they managed to put every bit of keany nuances in his expression in the digital copy

around 2:15

[quasi mantle]

I think you could do almost the same with Blender Geonodes

[last matrix]

but it says ue5 is linking up with houdini

i NEED the same frustration as live link

[unborn lotus]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ARkIy4IZGmc&t=864s didn't realize it was so interactable, now that's just crazy

[cursive crypt]

CP2021

[pearl elk]

just dont watch the second Matrix film

the fight scene with Smith will look even worse than it already did

[quasi mantle]

Also inb4 Corridor guys trying to tear this apart visually

[pearl elk]

anyone here seen the new Venom film?

[quasi mantle]

Also I'm not going to question why do they use buttom face button to enter vehicle.

[last matrix]

no... just the old one 😫

[cursive crypt]

Not drinking that.

[quasi mantle]

I'm personally not a movie guy tbh

[cursive crypt]

And I'm not a gamer 🤷‍♂️

[pearl elk]

new one has some very impressive CG, I cant believe how the lighting on the characters matches so closely to the live action environments

[cursive crypt]

Yeah, I can admit, vfx gets pretty dope as of late years.

[pearl elk]

I was just watching it then I realised that I was fully immersed, at no time did I stop and think welp that felt off

it was like oh shi... this looks so good its basically live action

[cursive crypt]

That Marvel/DC right? 🤔

[pearl elk]

Sony/Marvel I think

Andy Serkis directed

[cursive crypt]

Sony? huh, yeah, these Marvel & Co put a lot on the cgi

[pearl elk]

king of CG characters tbh that guy

certainly not the best story ever but it really didnt matter with that CG lol

[cursive crypt]

haha, yeah, not everything needs a story 😏

[pearl elk]

well Id say Venom will go head to head with Matrix for best visual effects oscar

[median wraith]

Internet filled with people claiming this looks awesome because the engine itself

Despite the filtered post-processing trying to get realism the physics downgrade the whole final looking

but tbh didn't expect this, is cool overall

The little effects they did with particles are nice

by the way what's that thing the people talks about wheather in UE5?

[fallow finch]

Is the engine crashing when they developing the game😋

[median wraith]

Recently is interesting how forced fast they replace the main protagonist from films and games of the 1990 era for marketing as the intro says 🙃

[regal pecan]

It's been 30 years. The actors got old.

[cursive crypt]

He livin' in the matrix, can't get old.

[median wraith]

Man I don't even have 30 and I'm from early 1990

🤣 this is like 20 years

Still don't mean the age

They could at least use Jada Pinkett 🤔 or alike

[fluid bloom]

at what time did sean connery arrive at wimbledon?

...

..

tennish

[pearl elk]

need more 3d deaging

[bronze axle]

I love this response I got in the recent survey when asked what we can do to improve:

No one should have to defend their reasons for not using C++

Time to start the Believe in Blueprints movement. ✊

Complete with a rousing motivational speech by Morpheus.

[pearl elk]

take the red print or the blue print

[bronze axle]

lmao

That's a golden Unreal Slackers merch idea.

Should be a shirt.

[pearl elk]

tbh though I like BP but it needs some more work

its difficult to work on systems, there needs to be a larger view showing connections between classes similar to flow graphs of C++\

issue there is Epic have purposefully decoupled systems from data like with GAS

so you can view the data but there is no flow graph that makes sense

[last matrix]

hell yeah brother

[fallow finch]

Now guys is UE5 physics better than UE4 ?

[last matrix]

https://tenor.com/view/key-and-peele-jordan-peele-sweating-nervous-anxious-gif-15577346

[fallow finch]

:kappa:

You mean the both s... ??

No please

[unborn lotus]

I have a hard time imagining how as an artist you save, not lose time with nanite like they did all the buildings in the demo. Like working with super large files - exporting, saving, unwrapping, texturing? 😬 Unable to quickly reuse stuff or hack them together? Sounds like hell

[last matrix]

~~rent ~~ steal a nasa computer

[unborn lotus]

I read some workflow ideas and they said make a low res mesh to make the UVs on it, then reproject details...why not use that mesh instead of the hassle 😄

[last matrix]

although i love me some sarcasm, that sounds simple enough and not far off from tesselation workflows

[fluid bloom]

why wouldn't you reuse stuff with nanite?

all these demos have massive amounts of reuse

you don't have to go crazy and do movie quality assets

[unborn lotus]

quickly reuse 😔 I imagine its harder (slower) assembling a building in the DCC with many high res pieces. You cant easily snap vertices together, have to think about hiding seams and such. Honestly all I'm thinking is a masive scene in 3ds that slows down to a crawl everytime you try to do an operation

[regal pecan]

For major games that probably resembles what they do already.

[unborn lotus]

I'd love to see a breakdown of what they did in the demo

[carmine frigate]

so when are we getting a free Keanu on the marketplace?

[cursive crypt]

I don't doubt there will be an influx of matrix-themed assets.
It was for CP at least. Plus few others.

[quasi mantle]

Making Keanu available on marketplace so that one can made CP with better story

[unborn lotus]

you only had to work with a flat plane and a tiling texture, now look at these pieces, making those tile and making trims and making sure everything is fine sounds like hell 😆

[carmine frigate]

or a game about bread taking

[cursive crypt]

Ginger bread?

[tulip orbit]

bread baking could call it "Yeast Rising"

I haven't watched even one episode before cancelling it, lol

[unborn lotus]

I finished squid game and started this, turned it off after 1 minute 😬

[cursive crypt]

Haha, I kinda expect it to be bad.

[sharp turtle]

Hehehe

It's pretty weird to have all the devkits for everything but being unable to buy a retail kit anywhere

[quasi mantle]

Oof. Not hearing good things about it

Maybe not. Heard that devkits blocks signed executables.

[cursive crypt]

Another one

https://www.pcgamer.com/uk/ubisoft-de-lists-overwhelmingly-disliked-nft-announcement-video/

[quasi mantle]

LARGE OOF SIZE

[cursive crypt]

31k dislikes vs 1k likes

[quasi mantle]

Where?

[sharp turtle]

I just started watching it and it's definitely extremely cheesy, but I like it so far

[quasi mantle]

Cheesy as in 90s cheesy, or Dragon Ball Evolution kind of cheesy?

[sharp turtle]

I haven't seen DBE

Let's just say there is a lot of scenery chewing

[quasi mantle]

Don't see it lol
The amount of cheese is over 9000

[celest musk]

imho it's not bad

but i don't know the original, so i didn't had any expectations

[pearl elk]

Actually the fight choreography aint bad for a TV show

Netflix has a habit of cancelling things, I think they are trying to make things to sell off more these days

[fallow finch]

I can see weekend coming from horizon

[torpid star]

could I have some more memes please?

[quasi mantle]

Inb4 they open Windows KVM for shits and giggles

[remote kraken]

silly question: why there's no pc version of Matrix Awakens? Ty

[foggy path]

because marketing

:P

actually I get the feeling maybe it's also a performance and assets question... they don't want PC users stealing all the Matrix assets lol

and they don't want backlash from "this runs like shit" from man trying to run it on a potato

[quasi mantle]

Also kinda spoils the whole "what is real" concept, because it's easy to guess by either the rendering quality or ripping the pak file in PC

Not so much with consoles, which is more fixed configuration giving more consistent quality, and pretty much anyone owning PS5 or XSeS/X are in for the guessing game.

[foggy path]

Yeah

[remote kraken]

makes sense, wanted to try it, but it's ok

I mean, not just for the game, but for ue5 experience overall, you know... nanite... lumen.. and so on...

but thank you for your points of view

[quasi mantle]

Besides, you can build 5.0 branch of the engine right now, heard it's pretty stable by now

[remote kraken]

oh, yes, I tried it in the past, but wanted to see something very good already made

I mean, look at the city in the last part of the video: just amazing!

[quasi mantle]

I think you can create one in Blender with Geonodes, and bring them to UE5

You might be missing LiveLink stuff and that one Rule Positioning thing, but I think that's pretty much it

Also I need to see how they did the Mass thingie, maybe I could replicate parts of it into UE4

[remote kraken]

@quasi mantle ,mass thingie?!?!

[median wraith]

I think Nanite don't support world aligned materiasl?

also why they used nanite for this?

[quasi mantle]

Mass, UE5's crowd AI framework

[median wraith]

In the gameplays I was like, wow that dry trees have a lot of poly don't have transparency and are total static sure are nanite 🤣

[quasi mantle]

No, I'm not going to straight backporting it. Already had enough trauma from MetaSound attempt snowballing

[median wraith]

the trailer names they have some building. system?

for. random placement?

or I read it wrong?

[quasi mantle]

Rule Positioning IIRC

It was more of Houdini link thing

[median wraith]

seriusly? an Houdini link?

thought is a tool inside

like even Blender have procedural tools now

[quasi mantle]

Seems like it

[remote kraken]

maybe it's some sort of interpreter of points cloud from Houdini, so UE5 knows what to put in that point, its scale/rotation/material, everything setup in Houdini, which is very strong for that

[quasi mantle]

Wonder if Blender can have the equivalent for that ||(I don't think so, gamedev weren't Blender's priority)||

[median wraith]

well someone did Datasmith for Blender

[quasi mantle]

It's okay, but not that great IMO

[median wraith]

bet at some point someone can do a link or something

[median wraith]

never tried, but it works?

or whats the issue

is the only solution I see in order to export whole levels

[quasi mantle]

It works, but stuff like particles (particularly if you use it to scatter stuff around), some material functions, some modifiers, don't get carried through

[torpid star]

this is fantastic

[quasi mantle]

I think in Unreal you can import FBX as scene 🤔

[foggy path]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WU0gvPcc3jQ looks like the matrix thing is viewable here for us pc losers

I like how they're kind of self aware about it being marketing lol

[quasi mantle]

Also cheeky Unreal title drop

Also isn't the player character the first MetHum gal in the MetHum sample demo?

[median wraith]

Yeah and no, it won't let you reimport

Main thing because I was doing a tool for given purpose

[foggy path]

MetaClothing and MetaAccessories fucking when

[fallow finch]

Guys i will design VR Lounge this channel but VR

[foggy path]

right now MetaHumans is pretty useless for those who don't already have 3D modelers who could do humans

[fallow finch]

We can meet VR to VR

🤪

[median wraith]

Let's be honest I expected more GI quality for the cost it comes with

it changes like 3 times or 4 in 5 seconds

[remote kraken]

https://tenor.com/view/elmo-shrug-不造-i-dont-know-gif-5094560

things happens so quick players won't see them 😉

[cursive crypt]

It ain't bad? I mean, hardly we have something ultimate for real time.

[plucky pagoda]

It serves its purpose and showed some inkling of things to come.

[remote kraken]

maybe for rendering animations/cinematics/architecture projects there would be parameters to avoid that and fine tuning final results, but for a 4k 60fps (?) game it's fine, if it's not flickering so much to cause epilepsy attacks! XD

[median wraith]

Nanite seems to give a lot of problems when the build surfaces are aligned to the camera

[cursive crypt]

Yeah, I remember that from their video intro on twitch.

It is heavy tech.

[median wraith]

https://youtu.be/ajWLxZkhPW4?t=703

yeah here can be seen on the right side

[cursive crypt]

"this can't be real" lol
Damn clickbaiters.

[fluid bloom]

lots of AO ghosting with the cars

[plucky pagoda]

I think it was an astoundingly well done demo. The only gripe I have is I wanted something to blow up with chaos in the free roaming.

[remote kraken]

I think they will need this kind of projects, so they can fix problems like that

[median wraith]

We don't support masked materials for Nanite yet what we can do guys?

Make all the trees dry

[plucky pagoda]

WPO

[median wraith]

but by the end of the day the tech demo looks amazing

[plucky pagoda]

A bunch of non-moving leaves might have distracted from what they wanted to show off.

[median wraith]

no one like Epic to know what are the limitations of their tech and how to make it look fancy even with all the weak parts

so on that side this is awesome and did an awesome work

[cursive crypt]

Nah, they just shill their tech

[median wraith]

In other hand

seems like the people still wants more Hollywood looking games and films than real life

[plucky pagoda]

https://tenor.com/view/hungry-feed-me-gif-5904122

[median wraith]

But in the comments they all claim it looks better than real life

If someone see in the real life the world that dark on with a green/blue filter, please take an appointment with the medic

[plucky pagoda]

The demo lets you turn the post coloring off.

[median wraith]

but don't think they do the same for the burned darks ?

this common effect on horror games

[cursive crypt]

irl it is boring. There must be some artistic choice for all them movies & games.

[median wraith]

this guy is playing the new BF so is natural when he plays the new demo to feel like you evolved 14 years in gaming

I thought EA used their new GI tech on this one

[cursive crypt]

lol, that looks ~2010

Okay, 2015

[median wraith]

man the baked shadows on COD2 gave a better feeling than this

[cursive crypt]

Sky is nice tho.

[median wraith]

https://www.savegamedownload.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/cod4mw_savegamedownload.jpg

Like this have more color variation and effects

[celest musk]

i wonder if they made the whole city just from scratch for the demo, or if it's actually part of the movie and they could use those assets

[cursive crypt]

Well, it is an art choice.

I guess it is to make it gloomy.

[celest musk]

because, damn, the city is huge

[median wraith]

There is a nice work with the materials tbh

[remote kraken]

ahahahah
Just watched on 4K monitor and it's amazing

[celest musk]

yea and lot of details, like interiors (or at least cubemap interiors) https://youtu.be/ajWLxZkhPW4?t=621

[median wraith]

Still remember how good The Division looked

[plucky pagoda]

I thought it looked great on a 70" playing it on a PS5.

[median wraith]

and tbh we didn't need more tech that that to make cool things in realtime, their GI were realtime from what I know ?

using probes

[cursive crypt]

It was well made 🤔

[median wraith]

yeah I feel like the people don't remember such games

[cursive crypt]

Tho, I have only played that + FarCry, I would consider the rest of their games kinda the same.

Hey, it was not so long time ago?

[median wraith]

https://youtu.be/doa9h7AWYg8?t=876

I mean this game is from 6 years ago already

and to me looks kinda equal in many areas

[celest musk]

it looks awesome, no doubt

[cursive crypt]

Ooh, I played it for 1st time last year. Still looks good, kinda unique platform-like level design. Everything is rectangles 😄

[median wraith]

I didn't like the 2 one

[cursive crypt]

I heard about that 🙂

Some games you can really skip next part of them at least.

Say FIFA 2015, FIFA 2022

[celest musk]

i like how the "the division" video ends with an npc dog sliding around on ground xD

[median wraith]

XD

[celest musk]

but considering that the game is 5 years old. nice

[median wraith]

Are you using a black transparent plane ?
Don't lie son

xd

[cursive crypt]

oof

[celest musk]

what is that supposed to be? shadow?

[median wraith]

I bet

or rather an old school oclussion to get inside

it actually doesn't say cheese on the bag either now that I took a closer look at it

it's "pizza topping"

Fortnite Ch.3 uses Nanite?

I still doubt that's the case

Given how limited Nanite currently is at the moment

[celest musk]

those textures look like streaming pool is full

which could explain why it wont load a higher res mesh, either, if you run out of vram

[median wraith]

they have such an ugly UI?!

wtf

that looks like straight from UMG prototyping 😄

[quasi mantle]

It's almost the same since 2018 I think

[celest musk]

haven't played it yet

i enjoyed all the other games as the toxic kids went to play fortnite

[signal citrus]

It’s like a very stripped down version of Houdini

There isn’t really a concept of attributes like SOP has and there’s a lack of anything like a wrangler

[carmine frigate]

nah thats not imposters

[signal citrus]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uslTaqiv_7k

[carmine frigate]

the fortnire are lowest lvl LODs

but still above imposters

[signal citrus]

Fortnite seems to use interleaving a lot

The latest version I mean

[quasi mantle]

I don't give a shit tbh, I play Fortnite at times, casually, just having some mindless fun for a couple of lengthy rounds

And I never even build once in BR

[signal citrus]

It’s a lot of fun

Just was taken back when I slid and saw interleaving over the motion blur

Ue4 doesn’t do that

[carmine frigate]

i kinda like it, CoD is all grind levels to get an advantage on better weapons when the match starts

that shit is just BS

[quasi mantle]

UE4 did as well I think

[carmine frigate]

also CoD and stuff really make my eyes tired cuz ppl hide in grass and everything has the same color

[quasi mantle]

Fortnite is great at having fair playing field.

[celest musk]

i just saw a trailer, if the game is as good as their marketing, it's a blast

[signal citrus]

Yeah I think the skill level in Fortnite is actually one of its best features. Very limited amount of random recoil

[quasi mantle]

NGL I do feel the arena shooter roots in Fortnite

[carmine frigate]

yea, its smooth

also it has high defence and high offence

hide and camp wont help you much

also in CoD when you run and press the shoot button there is such a delay my gun wont even go off

build in input delay to make sitting still even more effective

[signal citrus]

I enjoy battlefield 2042 for as much flak it gets too

But yeah vanguard looks very boring

[carmine frigate]

yea i play it a bit, i cant stand the foggy dark lvl in BF tho

[signal citrus]

There’s too much dirt in the air sometimes yeah

[carmine frigate]

same stuff, it makes my eyes tired

[quasi mantle]

Also Fortnite is like miles better compared to GTA Online, especially netcode wise and monetisation

[celest musk]

from what? player perspective?

you can make ~$1M in gta online within an hour of gameplay

[quasi mantle]

I mean, GTA Online still trusting client too much with peer to peer connection for crying out loud

[celest musk]

yea netcode is probably shit, which explains the high amount of cheaters

[median wraith]

Don't seems to

[quasi mantle]

Yeah, figured Nanite's still isn't compatible with lower end hardware

[median wraith]

cost 2ms just enablimg it

[celest musk]

it probably never will be

if i'm not wrong they use it with geometry shaders, which require certain gpu instructions

[median wraith]

Ubisoft moved to. an auto LOD system months ago

and nobody noticed it

[quasi mantle]

GS can't be done in ES 3.1 right?

[celest musk]

no idea

[quasi mantle]

So far my GS stuff is only applied to SM5 only, might try with ES 3 some time

[cursive crypt]

We friends, right? Right?!

[zinc matrix]

Matrix Awaken looks better than Watchdogs in 4k

[celest musk]

still, cars look better in modded GTA V 😄

[quasi mantle]

I don't like the Matrix colour grading

It looks weird, and kinda janky

But it's a tech demo I guess

They're still struggling to get Chaos right I guess

It looks less floaty I think, compared to vehicle template's GTA IV controls

[celest musk]

https://youtu.be/2r-4NWcQZs8?t=54 i mean, the whole scene in this for example looks pretty much better than the car chase in the tech demo, imho

what GTA V could benefit of is subdiv(1)

[quasi mantle]

Vehicle template is so easy to flip upside down

[celest musk]

😄

[quasi mantle]

Single player DLC, I say

[tulip orbit]

dang thing is a gokart

[quasi mantle]

But nope. Not even Online vehicle were used by the peds

[quasi mantle]

Not even 4x4 was that floaty

[tulip orbit]

theres definetely problems with the vehicle physics. It bounces when I'm idle

yeah, but it doesnt bounce properly, goes all over

[quasi mantle]

Don't remind me of those GTA SA missions involving lowriders.
I hate those car types in the game

[tulip orbit]

I dont like them IRL

low profile vehicles are useless in my area. no road is even enough to not scrape your undercarriage

and I dont understand the point of the bouncing

I would like to see one of them do the hop while going over a speed bump, and crack their transmission wide open

[quasi mantle]

They never sold those types of cars in my region, so yay

Even if one would own the bouncy car one, the police could confiscate them

[celest musk]

the point of them, is to lift the car once they reach your region 😄

[tulip orbit]

lots of big lifted trucks around here, being driven by a person who never leaves the asphalt

[fluid bloom]

wasn't there an UT 2k4 mod similar to this? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ou_rV8AIYwc

I think it was in the MSUC

[fallow finch]

4.27.2 HOTfix

https://tenor.com/view/hot-heat-wave-too-hot-summer-gif-12107510

[quasi mantle]

Me who stays in 4.27.0 and can't move to 4.27.2

https://tenor.com/view/pusheen-lazy-cant-move-laziness-gif-5265374

[fallow finch]

why

[quasi mantle]

Because I'm lazy 😛

[faint dock]

me on 4.26.2

mac too old to bother compiling a new version

[fallow finch]

i'm upgrading till reach 5 xD

[quasi mantle]

My custom 4.27 is halfway being a frankenstein 😰

This is the one time odd numbered version actually felt like the hot spot

[faint dock]

luckily i only changed a handful of files

[fallow finch]

i change nothing
