This is my issue with it. I have a good wired headset I plug in when I am playing online multiplayer or anything that needs good sound. I have a Bluetooth headset I use when I don’t want the hassle of wires or am listening to music and might stand up and walk around or something.
Let me have the choice and don’t treat me like an idiot for not caring about laggy audio when I’m just playing Football Manager and listening to Spotify.
This comic and all of these comments are mega wholesome.
I’m so kooky, just putting this shoe polish all over my face.
So quirky, heading out to be a Christmas minstrel.
Too zany, punching some protesters that want me to stop.
I’m not really sure how PhysX was a gimmick. It had a weird implementation due to hardware restrictions initially, but is still used today on your bog standard GPS.
It’s actually a great example of a tech that had this weird transition period at first, when the hardware wasn’t advanced enough to support it by default, and is now just a standard tool to make games look great on average hardware.
And if you do either of those, most games companies would love to snap you up right out of graduation.
It’s expensive, but a high end rig with a good headset (index or vive), it’s pretty great.
Optimization is not an on/off switch. All companies are optimising their implementation to the best of their ability/budget. As coders get more familiar with the tech and it becomes more commonplace, as well as work being done by graphics card companies on their drivers, it will reduce the computational requirements over time. There’s a hell of a lot of work that goes into graphical processing on hardware, software, engine and game levels to make things look better for less computations, it’s not just “tell GPU to do simulate every particle from the sun”.
3D cinema is more like light gun games. Kinda cool but it doesn’t really advance anything.
Man, now I’ve said that I miss the old Namco arcades.
That’s exactly my point. Raytracing is being shoehorned into things without them being optimised specifically for it at the moment. That doesn’t mean we should stop developing the tech entirely because people are implementing it poorly most of the time.
This feels like one of those “VR in the 90s was shit so we should never develop VR” kind of things.
I’m a Pisces.
