Amazing info was dropped in this video....
This quote reminded me of what Tim S was tweeting about last year:Mike Fitzgerald said:

That something a lot talked before the gen start but a lot of guys didn't believe.
Yeah, it makes sense. When Zen 2 launched, AMD were getting better at gaming perf but were still catching up with Intel's best at that time. While it's a dramatic improvement over Jaguar, there was still room for improvement. That's where Zen 3 comes in.
I believe the company I works will fully embrace homework (it is cheaper for them) after pandemic and just have a small office for important meetings and some administration/marketing tasks.
Which is exactly what people were saying would happen "on the fly" and were laughed at for.
Yup, alot of ppl said this before the consoles launched.
well that's silly because we've been seeing the seamless transitions to cinematics from gameplay and back for a long time now. I've only said don't expect the same cinematic level quality from the marketing material in gameplay, because it literally won't be the exact same (though still looking good nonetheless).
Of course it's silly, yet people were still arguing against the zooming in and out of the character will change LOD seamlessly on the fly.
This guy right here. He makes being a dork look cool. I love the dude.
Where's the lie? Zooming in in photo mode alters the state of the visuals of the assets, just like how zooming in on Rivet's tail brings in more fur. Everyone likes to bring up the fly that looks great when zoomed in in high detail. It's not at that level of detail outside of photo mode because the camera isn't as close. Same thing with cinematics.

and @villentretenmerth for the summaries - I'm not watching any of these DF videos (which is a shame) because I absolutely want to see everything myself for the first time whilst actually playing the game.
Yeah, something like at 1080p w/o RT it should have been possible to run at 120fps but due to what they're doing on the gameplay side of things, the CPU came in the way. But he kind of alludes that in the future titles with enough optimization they could pull it off.
Hmm, it's definitely a possibility.
On the other hand, he's not that presentable and doesn't rock a "hey I'm a gamer too" t-shirt, so he's probably just a poser and doesn't know shit.
FWIW the footage shown is pretty much what you've (maybe) already seen in the trailers, so safe in that regard. And you can just listen to this as a podcast without video for that matter.Thanks both
....but the dev just said they arent switching assets....
Precisely. And as they say, they're only scratching the surface of what the PS5 can do.
Because they aren't swapping assets like a duplicate or a separate model. It's the systems in place that's doing the swapping on the fly like texture mips and how much fur to render and whatnot. It's the same "asset" but it's semantics really because the quality is different. It's unnoticeable to the eye at the gameplay size... And that's the point. There's no point in rendering more than you have to.
You were claiming those assets are separate from gameplay assets. As in they're only used for cinematic and or photomode which they're not. Those assets exist in the game as "one model" with varying level of detail based on how far it is from the camera. Each model has several LOD levels that change based on distance from the camera, if you are able to get close to a model while in gameplay you can see that higher detail LOD. What you are implying is that you can only see those detail in cinematic or photomode. Photo mode allows you to zoom in very close so you are able to see LOD 0 at any time. Gameplay view is pulled out so you can't see LOD 0 easily without trying very hard. There are no separate Cinematic or Photomode assets, they are same assets in cinematic, photomode and gameplay.
We just don't know what I/O rate was needed, and PC you couldn't compress as much.
