Yeah, the weapons are sprites
sorry game done
That’s the reason why they act so weird
mmm gotcha, still it's something that should be address by developer, it's gamebreaking. Btw i think that 120fps is tinytiny faster then 60 but still seems the best compromise, assuming that game is designed at 60fps first.
yeah it's been a huge pain in the ass for me
it makes no sense that it slows down at higher frame rates
I'll bump it up the list
leleleleleleleon
@night ginkgo actually slow down at different frame caps/frametimes. Try to cap at 70 fps and see how freaking slow it is for example :0
yeah I'm aware
Leon the Fps-Master
@night ginkgo just out of curiosity, is at 60fps cap the regular weapons velocity?
hmm?
there's no cap, just for some reason past ~62fps the weapon sprites frame rate starts to increase
at 75 it slows down
it starts to slow down at 63
which is big shame
Big oof, meaning I shouldn't play it at 144Hz?
@night ginkgo I was asking what was the intended weapon velocity basically, so until 63 fps is like the game is designed.
But Yeah past that the weapons slow down (70 and 90 fps), they behave like 60fps more and less (120fps), they go faster then intended velocity (130fps) and slow again over 133 fps... Isn't something incremental so it's really strange to predict. My only ignorant guess is that is tied to the number of the frametime.
magic iz lame make scifi gaem nurd
we are
Big Chungus's Ultimate Revenge II in Space
Super Turbo Big Chungus's Puncher 4 - The revenge.
Amid Evil 2 space time
evil always finds a way, eh?
also, finally bought and started playing amid evil, is good
love it
I thought episodes 6 and 7 were space time already
When clipping through reality in episode 7 and 6 you end up in the new blood backrooms and can teleport to any point in time where amid evil was on sale. They use this technique to time travel to points of interest. So everytime amid evil is on sale you know that something crazy is going on at nb hq. I already said to much im going into hiding now.
😳
I finally bought this. Mrry chrsmass to myself.
merry christmas enjoy the game
Ty ty. Party time
@bold yarrow Remember to cap the game at 60 or 120fps to have proper weapon speed! Have fun and Merry Christmas!
oh that's why my axe was slow as shit
I finished the game on 144 fps
ok
any multiple of 60 should be okay
if you have a 144hz screen for instance and your pc can handle it then capping your fps to 240 should do it
What do those do again?
I’ll do it
AmidRTX12345
Playing Amid Evil for the first time since it was on sale for Christmas.
This feels so much more fun to play than to watch
the new level is pretty fun and gorgeous, if a bit linear
the 2 fights leading to the gold key could use more ground enemies and fights on the water too
great stuff as always, thanks for the christmas build
@dire briar Yeah that does go for most games honestly
I keep forgetting that because I usually try to judge if i wanna buy a game based on just, gameplay videos.
But even then that doesn't always quite do it justice
I didn't think I'd enjoy AE as much as I am now.
What were the major inspirations behind Amid Evil? I can bet it was either Heretic or Hexen.
AmidRTX12345 is a beta code y'all
rtx level gud
@frosty drift yeah, it seems like that even if I think that on 120fps is tiny faster then 60fps, I have to make a comparison video to be sure
Bouta test amid evil with my new computer
just beat the level
👌
I'm guessing RTX build has just that one level
I was able to load my old auto saves fine, but effects didn't work obv
fyi you can load any level you want with aeleon
rtx carries over?
yes
I noticed it on my old levels, just not as prevalent - maybe they need another pass or it's not as obvious as I imagined
looked rad though!
Naw it's just that the change is pretty subtle
would rather that tbh
RTX honestly doesn't do much more than good PBR unless you've got really apparent reflective surfaces or moving GI lights etc
At least in this case, where tbh Leon and Simon already did a really good job with the base reflections/lighting/etc
yeah
still, nice to see its implementation on something that isn't a big multi million dollar production
Pretty sure AE's DXR implementation is mostly just reflections and shadows?
No AO or GI.
Like Q2 RTX you mean?
Q2 RTX is kind of the tour de force of RTX, as I understand it
There was a point where GI was in there but the difference invisuals was super subtle. Unsure if it's still in or not. I've been a bit out of the loop
But yeah it's not the whole renderer like with Q2RTX
Yeah just a mock-up someone did
Looks like source engine.
That would be amazing.
mmm, that new level is sexy even without RTX
thanks m8
So I just finished E2 of AE, and it seems like I have my trifecta of weapons I use - the celestial claw / voltride/ star
not using warrior mode. I wanted auto soul on, but it doesn’t seem like it’s workin. Maybe I’m doin it backwards
I cannot stand how beautiful this game looks that I can’t even play right.
if you have a 144hz screen for instance and your pc can handle it then capping your fps to 240 should do it``` I would think just removing the unlimited fps setting from the fps limiter would solve overspeed issues
I set it to 240 just because while there is a very, very small input lag difference between 240 and 300 (that doesn't matter outside of competitive fps games)
I value smoothness of input as much as low input lag.
I also have an AMD Radeon RX 580 graphics card.
TIP: don't buy the Warrior Edition, it charges you $22.49. Get the game and soundtrack separately within your cart, you'll only be charged $22.48 - saving you one cent ($0.01)!
stonks
Indeed.
What if I just buy it twice then.
Then you're Evil.
I’ll buy it twice

Don’t you guys hate it when u have a nice conversation with Leon but then he turns into this
And starts going https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Dfb_n7wjb5k
Really youtube? no one had uploaded this before? are you kidding me? IT TOOK LIKE 20 SECONDS YOU LAZY BASTARDS.
If I wanted to do it myself, I wouldnt have looked on the internet damn it.
Yeah, ffs leon
I'm not seeing any RTX reflections
also the framerate does not change
is there anything else you have to do to activate it?
you sure you're in the beta branch?
yes
huh, weird
MMMM no GOG love I guess?
RTX will come to GOG when its fully released. what people have now is just a test build
GOG really need to support test build too... well, I guess I'll wait then, thank you <3

ae music > dusk music
ok except you're objectively wrong
If you think that ae music > dusk music
^
nop
yes
though i will say
ae has the better final boss
i love you ||stephen weyte|| but your moveset is WEAK
Sorry gamers
Undertale was game of the year 2019
Undertale is only good on the first or second playthrough really. And that game came out years ago.
i got a lil question, is there any chance any of the games will be on the xbox gamepass for windows 10?
@dire briar pls dont vaporize me i played rott to get the reference
@crystal spruce lol how many times you finish a game XD?
@gloomy comet depending on how many levels there are.
I mostly spend 15 to 25 minutes on a dusk level, not sure about amid evil though.
cant believe aes weapons are so good yet leon designed the rott2013 shotgun 
I DID NOT
the only weapon thing I was involved with was the firebomb dunking on alt fire
oh hi mark
leon why would you make the rott2013 shotgun so bad
you hurt you
the worst thing is leon also did the room, and only filled it with shotguns
I did 1/2 of the room
it was harder before I touched it
my levels are
E2L3
E3L1
E3L2
E4L2
E4L3
E4L5
I also finished off a lot of levels that were half done but it was mainly functionality and visuals rather than design
leon also does the voice for the guy who calls you an infidel
nah I did el oscuro snake form
I can't remember who did the infidel voice
it sounds like dave to me
dont forget youre talking with man responsible for bombshell
you can tell which levels leon worked on because they are usually boring and uninspired, much like bombshell
good thing simon was here to carry ae dev forward this time around
yeah
simon made everything in AE
all I made was the terrible font and screen flashes
Then what did you do?
Oh.
Figure out that Sprite FPS bug yet?
At least the fonts are nice lol
he also shat on daves lawn, posted zawussy pics to twitter for e-fame and ordered chinese food
Figure out that Sprite FPS bug yet?
nah it's christmas and stuff
I'll take a look next week probs
the font gave it soul
Sure, was just curious. I just bought the game, I think I'll wait to play it for a little bit since I play at 144Hz
I bet david made the fonts
Or dave
I meant
the font is actually foughtknight

I like it a lot, but lots of people have issues with it
Hey leon, what game inspired ae the most?
probably doom
But what about heretic and hexen?
little bit
the combat
But the critics said that ae was very heretic like.
iirc ae wasnt a love letter to doom or hexen, it was just the game they wanted to make
Well, ae was originally to be a doom mod.
I'd imagine that alternative universe where ae was a doom mod instead of an UE4 thing.
Bet it would've flopped.
what
it was like just a level set lol
there was this whole other game design for AE with top down game play
Leon, AE is the most Heretic game of 2019.
And you're saying it's Doom that's the most similar instead of Heretic?
you said what inspired us to make it
defo doom
there were a lot of different games that inspired AE
a quick list would be:
Doom
Quake
Gods
Amulets and Armour
Heretic/Hexen
Anachronox
Shadowcaster
Blood Omen
Im so good at english bro
And I need sleep
But anyway hey leon why do the celestial claw planets move at 15 frames per a second?
hmm?
The animations for the planets in the celestial claw have low frame rates, any reason why they’re like that?
Ah
great game
Great game.................................................................................|| cliffhanger ending sucks though||
I have to wonder if that was the fault of publishers though.
Lots of game seem to be pulling that bullshit around that time.
Ground Control 1, 2, and the expansion packs all end in cliffhanger endings. Its absolute madness.
Yeah I also recall Tom Hall saying he'd release the script for anachronox 2 a while back
I'm blue da ba dee zawada
Congrats Amid Evil for being the 21st century Heretic.
congrats amid evil for surviving another dave dev cycle
Well Amid Evil won the best new game award on steam.
wait really?
I'd say this is pretty much Heretic 3.
Maybe not an award but.
I know.
Wew it's all weebshit in here
Avain, you are worthy.
Could my processor run AE?
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/367135220241137667/659602323445645362/cpu.PNG
Yes
What about my AMD Radeon Rx 580 Graphics Card?
it runs
ye
Yes but that's a horrible combo. That 580 is bottlenecked
it will work with AE anyway
Thanks.
worse case with more demanding games
AE and Dusk can last me long enough to save money for new hardware 
anon is so brave, getting out of his room on a quest for tendies
also i just realized why i didn't like playing amid evil
85 default fov
@tall temple sorry for the ping but how and why would my 580 be bottlenecked? I'm not an expert on things like these so please do explain.
GPU bottleneck is when the GPU ends up waiting on the CPU to do its job. A slow CPU like that i3 is preventing you from taking full advantage of your 580 or any decent GPU
Which means the most important thing is to get a new CPU?
For you, yes. I would look into i5s or i7s that fit your current socket. It would be a night and day difference for you
A new GPU would be a waste of money till then
Noted- thank you.
what the fuck
What am I looking at here
Amid Evil gets a best david bowie album of the decade award.
Andrew Hulshult's ost seems more like a c418 album tbh.
[diidjiil intensifies]
@nocturne tapir you're my new favorite boomer.
That username is amazing, I too, shill Amid Evil.
Thanks zoomer :v

I was given the shill suffix by our lord skeleton and i wear it with pride
I'm keeping this username until Leon changes AE name to Heretic III.
where do you pay those shills leon

he ships chinese food from NZ
why would we want to give raven software money? because thats what you're asking us to do 
If I were you I'd do anything do get a Heretic 3.
Money is only a bit of a bother.
yeah lets spend about uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
several mil
getting the ip
just like people tell us to get the blood ip
v.simple
As long as it's not in 3rd person as how 2 was.
we hate money
🚨
all the money we get will be put into a random warehouse in the desert never to be seen again
and that's so we can remove as much money from society as possible
because we hate it
no
If you hate them, lemme have it.
the only thing i can tell is the location of the nearest beatmania cab from your house
How typical of you to think I would even make one step to a beatmania at all.
that's very unfortunate
*fortunate.
come on now, it's time to be a hero
herotic
Heretic, more like,
Pathetic.
Thats an odd profile picture right there.
id like Amid Evil coop but looks like not gonna happen any time soon
Welp now I own DUSK AND AMID EVIL wassup G
If amid evil ever gets any multiplayer components.
@crystal spruce it's one of the concept arts.
@crystal spruce devs stated in the dusk stream they won't be doing AE multiplayer since it's a waste of dev time
Yeah I know.
leon zawada more like leon bazawadinga
God damn it, I'm blue da ba dee zawada is such a good joke and nobody even reacted
wat
leon ae dev is done stop checking this channel
This channel belongs to Quantis Gelgado
Well we still need to rename AE to Heretic III, right?

You know you want to, leon.

I've purposefully made my name like this so that everytime you see me you're gonna see AE as Heretic 3
No escape.
i dont see ae as heretic

I mean, AE isn't like doom at all, it's more like doom with a makeover of magic and fantasy elements, very Heretic.
heretic is doom tho 
I just said.
Heretic is doom with magic/fantasy elements.
Therefore, AE is more like Heretic than Doom, concluding the idea that AE is basically Heretic III.
heretic is doom dark fantasy copypasta
Romero who?
he’s the guy who made amid evil
as far as I understand it id software got raven to make heretic for them
it was a romero game
Besides the fantasy theme, AE has little to do with Heretic tbh
^
ae dosent copy the other vidya, its crap on its own


If you really think about it AE is a Pain Killer and ROTT clone.
and both stink
If you really think about it AE is a pong clone
If you really think about it AE is a Rogue Warrior clone.
if you really think about it, heretic is an AE clone
the redditor guys keeps being cringe
@rustic barn no u
I never bothered to change the theme to dark mode.
where's my wholesome big chungus keanu reeves minecraft armor fortnite bad approved by reddit meme
Cursed images are more pleasant than dank memes tbh
cool AE chat
Fair enough, I guess.
Storywise, of course not. The fantasy theme is the main reason why AE is very Heretic-ish. From the weapons to levels to enemies, pretty much Heretic.
Like I've said before, heretic is pretty much doom with magic sticks.
oh shit i just saw that AE was on the Steam top releases of 2019
heh, and leon actually seemed a bit nervous about the launch
are the weapons sprites or models animated to look like sprites
yes
Hello, Amid Evil is cool
I couldn't agree more.
welcome to the r e d z o n e
I also finally made my first review on steam.
i thought Rad-guana posted a meme spoiler but i absolutely agree i fucking love that level
Amid Evil's worlds nail so many themes i'm a sucker for and none of them sucker me more than the final episode
That red level image reminds me of something I noticed back in the episode 7 beta. Somewhere in that level (I think just through that portal) there are two diamond shaped portals stacked on top of each other and the top portal doesnt take you anywhere. I dont know where I am going with this, but I always thought there should have been a secret there.
Oh I think it leads from somewhere
Hey leon how difficult is it to fix glitches in ae?
If there was many during the development and release.
there were a few crazy ones but fortunately most weren't all too bad
enough so that most of the bugs I found while testing the game were simple enough that I was even able to diagnose what the problem was and literally took leon like 5 minutes to fix
I’ve been getting and seeing a few errors recently, like hands of evil being flung around in The Abyss.
And sometimes theres tiny holes that lead outside the map, but those aren’t really noticeable.
feel free to leave reports on the steam discussion forums 
Will do.
There is no ETA for next official patch, right?
I guess I need to play some other boomer shooter in meantime XD
the RTX demo level should be out
but as always no set date.
So isn't the whole game in Rtx?
yes, the whole game will have rtx
the demo level is just designed to show off as much rtx technology as we can muster
So it's going to take months to have the full rtx patch on gog?
I don't even know how it will run sadly since there is no beta thing on gog, can you tell me at least the % impact of rtx on the game? I have an rtx 2060
I haven't been testing rtx features since I don't have an rtx capable system, so I can't comment on that
Ok, thanks anyway :)
This is honestly the first game that has made me want to get a powerhouse pc.
does it run like shit on your pc
Is the game well optimized or do you need a high end pc to play it comfortably?
I'd say it's well optimised, although don't have a low end or even modest rig to test it on but from what I've heard it scales well and if all else fails you can downsample the resolution (even turning off filters to make it all pixelly)
nice, I'll give it a try
I'm having one of those days where I feel like travelling to an unknown dimension such as that of the moon guardian and murdering it with a boat propeller
heh
the patch will be hopefully early next year
we're taking a break at the moment
uhuh sure thing non gamer
One of those famous “Dave breaks”
Friday: “Take a two week break guys”
Saturday: “WHERES THE SCREENSHOTS FOR SCREENSHOT SATURDAY?????”
Yes exactly
Leon: sleep and chill
Zombie: AHHHHHHHH
Andrew: plays guitar
Me: waking up early
ready to make my gpu cry
Wait what is happening?
Oooh need to test my 2080 Super on it.
I was going to play Quake II RTX but they pushed out a patch right when I was about to play it. I was using a custom exe compatible with the Mission Packs. Need to check into that again.
Downloading the beta ;o
We should all try it.
Grab the Volta XL magnetic charging cable on Amazon at https://lmg.gg/amazonvoltaxl or their main website at https://www.voltacharger.com
Setup your game server with AMP at https://cubecoders.com/AMP/
We didn’t care much for RTX when it launched… And now that RTX is ava...
is that young Gabe Newell lmao
Depending on exactly what RTX features were implemented, you might be able to play it just fine even without an RTX card.
RTX is a new tech so it doesn't run great right now, I expect it to me more mainstream with the 3000 series GPUs.
Quake 2 RTX runs like trash at 1440p on a 2080 Super.
Have to play Quake 2 at 1080p
Quake 2 runs like trash at 1440p on a 2080 Super. I thought Quake 2 uses path tracing, not ray tracing.
I think alot of RTX games don't run well above 1080p
Yeah it is path tracing.
Some games just kill performance without an RTX card though, some don't, it all depends on the RT features used.
I still need to pickup Control. I really want to play it on PC but I've been so busy with other stuff.
Honestly? They did so well with "current methods" that enabling RTX in that game doesn't impress me.
I'm looking forward to Watch Dogs with RTX.
Of the ray traced features, what impresses me the most has been ray traced ambient occlusion.
Ray traced reflections are nice, but the real world isn't made of mirrors.
Global Illumination is also a big improvement, but not something i would sacrifice a halving of frame rate over.
I'm currently running a 8086k, I hope to be switching to an AMD Ryzen 4950X or equivalent when it comes out if it supports DDR5.
Otherwise I'll probably sit on my 8086k until AMD supports DDR5.
I'm not upgrading until I start CPU bottlenecking, which isn't gonna happen any time soon.
I'm getting sick of flaws and bugs with Intel. I miss AMD.
8700K with 6 core @ 4.7 or 5 isn't going to be holding me back any time soon I hope.
My 8086k is basically a binned 8700k
I've never bought an AMD product, only thing is a card from AMD when AMD was still ATi
which was legit decades ago
Thing is I still play old and retro games and MMOs which end up being single thread heavy games.
I hear you.
Thats why I've always bought Intel for the best single thread performance though.
Seems like its not that bad anymore
According to Passmark the 3950X has better single core performance than the 8086k and 9700k by like 7-10%
Could be.
According to PassMark 3950X has 3008 single thread and the 9900KS has 3010 single thread. But overall score is 36k to 21.5k. Ryzen seems to be getting really good.
I wouldn't say they are bad, just that Intel has consistently been a bit better.
If that is worth the cost or not is entirely up to the builder.
Either way I'm definitely buying the first flagship Ryzen 9 that supports DDR5.
Obviously console manufacturers prefer AMD as a lower cost solution, then they put money into the GPU.
I'm not buying the flagship of anything anytime soon.
If my CPU isn't bottlenecking me then I don't see the point.
Its nice that AMD has been getting better though.
This system of duo monopolies isn't good for progress in the videocard and cpu industries.
Hopefully intel actually makes decent GPUs when they actually start getting serious about it.
d
Maybe you right.
4950X, 32GB of DDR5, and a new motherboard. Looking at like 1500 dollars.
might get better performance``` yeah
also assuming that is 1440p, you could try reducing as much as 50% and then using nvidia sharpening to tighten it up again
I'm not sure if that will work with the "pixel art style" of this game though 🤔
in my testing with it, that seems to work best with games that have a lot of solids
The beta level is gorgeous
I would love to see an episode with that theme, with its own enemies, music and all that stuff
(I also found both secrets)
I couldn't figure out how to select a track
Pls make the music select menu in ae more clear
Its not loading the chart wtf
Amid Evil is a great game btw have you heard?
r we going with sharpening again
it is
best played on Hard and Extra Hard though
the combat in some aspects is less twitch shooter and more methodical which is fine as long as failure to play smart results in steep consequences
its the kind of game that we don't get very often anymore
RTX test level was very playable at 1440p on a 2080 super
and then the forges happened
very purty tho
Hey leon how does it make you feel that David SINGS praises for amid evil but yet you’ve never once played dusk or duskworld and you talk mad shit about him on your dev server?
leon hasn't played dusk?
is rtx out or something?
how do i access it
By becoming die
Done
i hope it goes well on my 1070ti
30 fps when looking at stuff
80 fps when looking at the ground
70 fps on low general settings
with resolution scale set on 50
playable
i don't see rtx being a huge thing here though
haha
if i choose low general settings and set res scale to 100 i get 20 fps when looking at that light puddle
Yeah
lemme fuck with the options some more
rtx 
Res scale helps the most because of the amount of pixels is exponential
yep
50 res scale all epic - 82
50 res scale all low - 88
Conclusion:
1070ti
i5 8600 3.10 GHz 6 cores
AE RTX is not recommended on such setup
of course it's not good
you need an actual RTX card
and even then it won't perform good
why won't an RTX card not perform good?
It runs fine since it's currently just reflections
Full rtx features are super heavy
Like GI, shadows, and AO
RTX isn't going to "run good" until 3000 series GPUs.
It might run at acceptable levels though.
Just depends on how its implemented.
he doesn't have RTX shadows
cringe leon
The human eye can only see 30 fps anyways
Was the Axe inspired by Quake's axe?
the whole RTX thing could not be timed better lmao
getting a new rig in a few weeks
with RTX card
goodbye GTX 1070
unless your current card isn't cutting it anymore i would very much wait for the RTX 2100 series of GPUs
for what I wanna play the GTX 1070 is starting to show its age
also brand new GPUs are expensive as hell
I'd rather just be slightly behind the curve with affordable rigs
(And by new I mean new series)
i would save the money for the next generation Ti
i would assume that the next generation of cards is going to be effected by whatever microsoft and sony consoles have as GPUs
the specifics of those cards is not known
um
the only thing shown is a rumor
and the release only says "2020"
thats too general for me
Id rather just upgrade now
by 2020 that would mean like "January 2020" or "December 2020"
the RTX cards have too much unproven technology on them that I am skeptical about
and im not waiting an entire year for a new series
most people don't get RTX for the "RTX part of it"
they do pay for it though
they get them because it has more power than the GTX 1080 on its own
more power
also its newer and stuff
are you familiar with the hybrid ray tracing stuff from AMD?
no
and tbh I heard too many horror stories about AMD GPUs to really consider them
i've never owned a AMD product that wasn't labelled ATi
AMD is going to shape the market though
thing took a crap on him in less than 2 years
it seems currently AMD GPUs don't age well
AMD GPUs are what are used in consoles
consoles are still a bit behind current gen PCs
even 9th gen will be
I mean yeah it will be compareable for a bit but you know it will use cheaper parts
also console hardware is usually specialized
so ofcourse it will last and stuff
whatever ray tracing solutions AMD has for the consoles, will be fully embraced by developers
so RTX might become irrelevant
how many people do you hear talking about DLSS anymore?
consoles are what you get if you just wanna play games and have no setup. Yeah there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. But PCs are what you get if you are an enthusiast and want the best.
I never really heard of DLSS to begin with
AMD did push out some impressive GPUs i'll admit. But if they won't last then I'm not buying
I hear the complete opposite for their CPUs tho
you've never really heard of DLSS, but you'll pay for Tensor cores regardless?
AMD is whooping Intel's ass rn
from what I see its an AI that helps keep a stable framerate
what's so wrong with that?
or is there something I'm missing
sure
what
I mean nobody really uses DSR ether but thats included on alot of cards
Then we have Nvidia. Their DLSS technology went under the microscope of many outlets and most didn’t like what they found. While performance was definitely improved in metro exodus, when we add DLSS to ray tracing the image actually looked a lot softer and blurier. It seems...
but you can still just use TAA instead
okay
but then you are paying for tensor (ai) cores and not getting any benefit
its not like Nvidia is putting free stuff on the card that you don't pay for
but you are still getting Real Time Ray Tracing and more power than the GTX 1080 TI
this really cool, but #bnnuy-and-the-jits
I would still wait till the next round of RTX cards come out becauseexisting models should drop in price
but you are still getting Real Time Ray Tracing and more power than the GTX 1080 TI RTX is used in like 3 games, DLSS in almost none and its pretty much awful for 144 hertz gaming
they already sort of have
"more power than the GTX 1080 TI"
If you base your GPU logic off of features why don't we all just go back to using Voodoo 3 Cards
you gotta remember you still got the power it offers over the GTX 1080 TI
dude, buy what you want
i'm not interested in buying a GPU with extra stuff tacked onto it that almost nobody actually uses
tbh I just want a new rig
yeah, i know that feeling
Its showing age and I can't even take advantage of things anymore because its dated
if you are going to buy at a 2000 series card, when you already own a 1000 series card, then you'll likely also buy a 2100 series card at some point
i would save the money, skip the 2000 series and buy the best of the 2100 series
I tend to stay one card behind so I don't spend a fortune
wait what are you on atm?
anyway #bnnuy-and-the-jits
I don't expect any game developers to use RTX for anything other than marketing
when they are releasing games for next gen consoles using AMD ray tracing tech, that will be a different story
those next gen GPU cards, will be optimized for the kind of rendering that studios will be programming for consoles by default
I dont think that RTX will be powerful enough on consoles. It will be a gimmick that wont catch on until the tech is much more optimised
I don't mean to be that guy but #bnnuy-and-the-jits plz
It will be a gimmick that wont catch on until the tech is much more optimised both console manufacturers have already stated they have RT hardware in their next gen GPUs
AMD is giving the developers the options of using shader cores for RT or for more traditional shader functions
If I had to guess, RT functions will be used for cheaper stuff like shadows
Grab the Volta XL magnetic charging cable on Amazon at https://lmg.gg/amazonvoltaxl or their main website at https://www.voltacharger.com

We didn’t care much for RTX when it launched… And now that RTX is ava...
The video points out that probably the most beneficial use of RTX is shadows, which is also the cheapest to do for shaders
its called PROFORMANCE
It has better PROFORMANCE than the GTX 1080 TI
also you should probably move this to #bnnuy-and-the-jits
This talk about Amid Evil the Game sure is crazy

Leon probably posted it somewhere but i haven't read it yet

tbh I wonder how the Realistic Lighting is gonna look in the 90s style shooter.
@loud shoal do you mean global illumination?
Im just saying
Amid Evil has a blocky visual design to make it seem more retro
so I wonder how inserting such lighting will treat this
well
I think its just reflections being effected
not really lighting
or at least, that seems to be the impression that Dave Oshrey gave to journalists
It showcases how much raytracing can impact the reflections within AMID EVIL,
thx jedd
as for 90s style shooters rendered with Global Illumination....... the thing is retro shooters thrive on fast frame rates
Metro didn't look bad with GI off, it just looked slightly better with it on
GI is the future, for sure, but that something probably for the generation of consoles following next gen consoles, as UltimateCheess alluded too
GI is too expensive for what it adds, Global Reflections are nice I guess but kind of unnecessary. Ray Traced shadows I think is where the minimal performance cost is justified by the graphical fidelity it provides.
considering its a beta and he said "currently". It may change
If its just reflections and they run fine I feel that they would have updated the main game already ngl
but who knows ¯_(ツ)_/¯
has anyone been able to get 100% kills in the beta level?
i've been through it twice
only 92/95
how can i play the new level without the rtx?
yea i put the code and my card is compatible (gtx1080)
but in the steam blog says that you can play the level without that rtx thing
my game is running at 30fps and i want to play the level
untick 'reflections' in the RTX options
in the options menu
ortherwise you can try find the amidevil.exe in your steamapps folder and then add the command line param -DX11
will disable all RT based features
Was there a new episode added?
oh wait are you on a GTX card?
currently the options only work if it detects RTX cards
hence it being a beta
I'll have to add the option
I saw water monsters 
there's a demo level for RTX on the beta branch
Ah
@woeful pagoda try that -DX11 command it should speed the game up back to normal
the game crash when i put that comand
ok
Leon I’m gonna shit on your carpet and then dome myself in your bed, you cool with that?
ive tried rtx level yesterday
thats some really nice reflection maps on the ground
and on the water
very nice
👌
i don't have an RTX card, I don't see any RTX features in game or in the options menu
but seriously tho, has any achieved 100% kills in that level?
<- GTX980
beta seems to run fine tho
the beta only has 1 level
Yea seemed like you were confused on how it was gonna work mb
insanity
hmm, im getting quite a lot of noise and flickering in the reflections when i try the RTX beta :/
basically unplayable 😦
@hollow sage what's your setup
rtx 2070 with i5 9400 and 16 Gb RAM
its the first time i actually play something with RTX so maybe i have something set-up wrong?
idk can't help
got a 1070ti i5 8600 16 gb ram. everything was ok but the framerate was low
no noise and nothing like that
My game goes to a crash screen just after load up of the game title card, I get a UE4 crash report
changing the RTX screen percent from 50 to 100 only lowers fps from 90 to 45 and seems to slighly reduce the flicker. changing it from 50 to 25 increases fps to 105 and increases flicker noticably
i dont have a video record set up right now, but this gif shows the flicker and change in the reflections somewhat https://media.giphy.com/media/fYqoGikxzuWojndmVz/giphy.gif
you can see it clearly on the floor reflections
the three screenshots were taken as fast as possible, so that is constant flicker
A 1070 is a GTX card, not an RTX. So yeh, obviously it wouldn't work. 2000 RTX series are an alpha/beta testing branch for the 3000 series. It drops the frames no matter what card you have
thats not the issu tho
where can I download the demo?
I tried google but it only gives me articles with photos...
I have a 2070 and I did the RTX code thing but it still isn't showing up, any help?
I know AE is retro and the gameplay is basic enough.
but damn i want to play fortnite right now
But do you guys have any recommendations of what I should play in preparation before this?
@crystal spruce as what? AE's main source of influence?
@weary solar as in gameplay. The main source of influence comes from a lot of games either way.
Probably the closest thing would probably be Unreal 1 on either its Hard or Unreal setting.
Ironic.
Why is that.k
Eh never mind.
I would think just buy Amid Evil now and if you don't like it after an 1.5 hours get a refund
In preparation for this? Heretic or HeXen, but more Heretic tho. Even tho i like HeXen a lot more
I was just thinking of that! Thanks. I'd also like to add that Leon told me about the game's biggest inspiration being Doom instead of Heretic, which is unusual since that game is more like AE in both style and gameplay.
@GLUE#7794
Unreal 1 reminds me the most of AE just because both games are more methodical than frantic.
Relatively slow moving projectiles.
you don't really need to play anything beforehand, AE is it's own game 
Yeah, I don't think playing anything else before hand is really going to matter much.
get in the mood?
you can always play fortnite
AE has its own mood depending on the chapter, and almost every one of them are great with great music to boot
Even each chapter has its own HUD design
Wow, that's pretty fucking impressive.
I mean, it's the same HUD, just different texture for it
Never seen different Huds for different chapters before in a game.
Just get AE if you are on the verge of buying it. I promise you, you won't be regret it
That Axe from the screenshots I've seen is literally the most Quake thing I've seen in recent games.
Some of the castle levels seem sort of Quake inspired, except the color pallet isn't all brown.
I saw most, if not all of the weapons being screen-centered. The axe stands out a lot for being to the left.
why do you need to prep for a game? thats just weird

I assumed he just wanted to buy something cheaper.
Not really.
thats a good point lol
besides didnt you play the game a few days ago
cause you were all like "why is this hexen 3" or whatever
buy the bundle it will probably be cheaper
I'm just judging it by the trailers and screenshots lmao.
I've posted a tip for others about the bundle thing before.
in all seriousness ae is prolly the best nb game released
I know the trick myself
dusk is cool but ae feels like an actual thing
It's worth it, even the ratings are sky high. At one point Dusk held 91 at metacritic. Wish it didn't drop down to 89, but 89 is still pretty impressive. On the other hand AE holds 85, so if that ain't worth getting i don't know what is
I could just call ae a color or rtx demo.
I would say heretic has more colour
Ha
AE is Unreal 4 done right
The lighting is the most colorful I've seen in a game.
ae is very much not heretic
But does Leon have PHD in GamePad Games
the level design maybe
The gameplay too.
i thought so.
Weapon inspiration mostly
The weapons.
HEXEN level design
heretic weapons
unreal gameplay
heretic weapons
But in ae all the weps feel unique and fun to use
Hexen levels makes me feel sleepy.
Just saying they are a bit inspired by it. And yes, they are fun to use and unique
Jab its called switch ""puzzle""
And beat most weapons down
y u dont like poozles
Hexen is a puzzle game with violence. Enough said.
There is nothing better than using the powered up mace
"Adventure"
there's barely any puzzles
mhm
its mostly going to cool realms, finding switchs and getting cool weapons
theres some mods that decrease the tedium too
Those switch hunts I've done still haunts me.
oh please
Hexen is worse than heretic for that reason
There are two keys, that's kinda it
We posting our PHDs in colour theory?
Please do so. Color interests me.
I liked HeXen for the RPG elements, but the levels mang
Colorful!
lmao
Every PHDs in color theory is colorful.
I got this PHD a long time ago, now I believe in the colour wheel.
colour
u failed
stop
Colour cubes are also understandable but colour wheels.
But it is Colour
Mwah.
I like Pink, Purple and Cyan
Blue 

That's not a color Jab.

That is a not a color.
colour theory joke
So Get to the Orange Door. Very Cool Leon-san
Is transparent a color?
Tf is colour
Fun fact, the dev of GTTOD can't see Orange.
I still haven't found the Orange Door lmao
Your name is red on the GTTOD, so are you a supporter or what
No thanks.

theres a reason why im in the military leon
Anything purple is to be greatly admired by me.
Can't pace without the mace
vuz he dosent know how 2 gun
i think my favorite part of ae is how you can clearly tell leon didnt learn anything from his rott2013 days cause every level is about as annoying as the room, which was leons only contribution to that game
If I went to the military I'd probably die like, immediately in boot camp.
man i have to go the boot camp
I was just in time to NOT go to military because it wasn't needed anymore like it used to be
So i just said nah
I have DOOM experience, that counts
being in the military is awesome except for the parts where you get shot at
nobody at my station likes doom
Do they at least like Receiver?
i doubt it
True, Receiver is an acquired taste.
most people don't
listen these dude, me included, have to deal with firearms daily
pretty much everyone at work has played doom
Gamer rise up
none of them care about it
Man the last game i got from NB, and the only one missing was Maximum Action, and that shit is the most fun i had in a while. Apart from the horrible stuttering that is or isn't getting fixed (i have to tell bout it everywhere for senpais to notice me) So i am a battle hardened super soldier now
We played UT99 at Highschool mostly
And everybody loved it, which was strange, but that game is golden
idk just pick what you prefer
