It was Sony bend. They hired some hollywood writers but after wasting a year and a half fighting ND on everything, the writers quit and Bend asked sony to do a new IP to avoid ND altogether.
Graphical fidelity aside, this still feels better than a lot of modern games. The movement is fairly fluid and there are more actions. I notice in recent games they don't even animate the character opening and closing doors or picking things up anymore. The way the glass broke was also impressive. I'm getting more and more disappointed in the industry. I really don't think it is age that is the factor either. I realize that more and more.
The fact that it ran at 60 fps on the weakest of the four consoles that gen speaks volumes about devs trying to squeeze everything out of hardware. Nowadays they are ok with dropping resolution below 720p and still cant hit 60 fps. star wars and ff16 both hover around 35 fps at times despite dropping to insanely low ps3 era resolutions.
Even if Ratchet comes out and runs at a shitty 2.5 tflops GPU with 2GB of ram, i think its safe to say that they are using the io system seeing as how Nixxes had to tap into direct storage on PC.
Daaaamn bro we are the same. You breaking down your favorite genre games was peak taste. Those are all my favorites as well and you kind of depressed me because I never stopped to consider they’ve all never been topped really for me despite being of the PS360 Gen :///
So true. Your list made me cry. So very true.
I'm gonna say it. Tears of the Kingdom is peak freedom and agency in the open world genre.
Reveal trailer end where rda starts attacking the player where bullet Maul through trees and overview trailer explosion destroy nearby plant.
He called it a PS3 game because MGSV literally came out on ps3 and was functionally the exact same game with same minor graphical and technical downgrades of course
I don't give a fuck about western movies and it was still my goty (with gow)
Not sure I totally agree with your IO theory since Cerny literally said they designed this based on feedback they got from the devs themselves. He said they asked the devs whats the number one thing they wanted to see improve, what’s the priority for them and the feedback they got was faster ssd’s and IO and Cerny obliged and gave them what they asked for. It’s not like Sony said “yeah let’s ditch everything else and just focus on creating a blazing fast io for the vibes.”
Character wise, many games look better, last of us 2 so ps4 game too, if we talking next gen lets wait till hellblade 2 launches(maybe holidays 2024, maybe 2025 sometime?) then we can compare;D
Nostalgia is one helluva drug!
If I may ask, what has the dev feedback been since? I honestly don't know.
I'll reply to this soon, currently at work.
GTA 6 is the most anticipated game in history. It has been in the works for a decade probably, it skipped an entire gen for the first time ever, it has a big ass budget, and RDR2 is one of the best games ever, so the bar is really really high for Rockstar, if they don't deliver there might be a huge backlash. Having said that there is no way GTA 6 is not gonna dazzle I just cannot foresee it honestly. Graphically it might not be what we're looking for, I do see it coming up short of our high expectations but everything else is just gonna be mind-blowing. That's my prediction for the game.I'll reply to this soon, currently at work.
Apparently it's well known in the industry that Rockstar aggressively hire the best graphics/engine programmers and art designer in the world. RD2 and GTA 5 were testimony to that.
Although given the current trend, I'd be cautiously optimistic about looking for all the next-gen goodness in the next GTA title.
nah, MGS5 looked a gen behind Witcher 3, Batman Arkham, Division and other next gen open world games in 2015. Thats why it ran at 60 fps. it ran at 720p 30 fps on last gen systems.
Devs told Cerny they needed an SSD. This is back when SATA ssds were the norm on PCs. They are rated at around 500 MBps. He went all out and put in a 5,500 MBps ssd. I can promise you, no one asked for that. SSD helps streamline game development so devs dont have to worry about managing assets as much. But SSDs impacting game design? Like actually built around the ssd? no one was going to do that. especially not for the PS5 when they have to ensure games ship on PCs with SATA ssds and on the much slower xbox consoles. There is a reason why no one has even bothered developing games around the ssd since ratchet.
That 'In development since 2014' is what gives me pause. That tells me that it was an early gen PS4 title built around the jaguar CPU, 1.8 tflops GPU with HDDs holding them back.I'll reply to this soon, currently at work.

Folks have been talking about GTA 6 since 2013, as GTA 5 was pretty much developed for PS3 and Xbox 360 in mind

That makes sense regarding the SSD, Cerny did go all out on them. What's even weirder is the fact Sony developed this proprietary tech knowing full well they were gonna start porting games over to PC meaning not even Sony studios were gonna limit themselves and develop their games around the proprietary IO Sony and Cerny created for the game to still be possible to port over to PC.nah, MGS5 looked a gen behind Witcher 3, Batman Arkham, Division and other next gen open world games in 2015.

Just look at how even ratchet, a game designed around the ssd, is able to run on HDD on PCs. Probably because they didnt come close to utilizing the 5.5 GBps speeds and ended up in the 500 MBps range which allowed them to scale down graphics for HDDs.

Now Jason said that all 3,000 rockstar devs worked on RDR2 until 2018 so maybe they went back and got PS5 devkits and used them as base but none of the 90 leaks were running on ps5 or xsx devkits. nearly all were ps4 devkits and some PC. the footage was from 2019 too. Or was it 2020? Devs on twitter were defending rockstar saying early dev games look like that, ok. maybe the graphics get an upgrade but why are we developing on last gen devkits?
maybe im wrong and maybe they produce matrix quality graphics with insane NPC and traffic simulations, but every fear of mine has come true. they called me chicken little, but the sky did fall and we ended up with zero next gen games from sony and ms first party in 2022 and now spiderman looks worse than last gen games. I love RDR2, its my gotg, but its way too scripted and while it worked for rdr2, i dont think i wanted to play a scripted gta game.
. But Rockstar has never failed us before and their blockbusters were always GoTY level, their last open world game RDR2 is my favorite of all time and hands down the most detailed open-world game ever made, people are still finding new stuff in that game today, 5 years after release. Also them getting burned up by the community on their God-awful remakes of the old GTA titles and facing immense backlash could also mean Rockstar not taking things lightly and phoning things in.
Man, I re-watched the trailer 5 times - all I could see is weightless explosions and bad animation and bigger plants kinda maybe reacting to the bullets (meanwhile, the short grass doesn't care when characters walk on it). Even if some plants get destroyed by explosion, it so timid and not new that I can't even call that "destruction".
Metroid Prime's ragdolls are pretty good. Weighty.
Find a video because i barely remember the shooting in that game.
Well, it is a video of funny deaths so that's to be expected.Yeah i'm sorry, it looks pretty light and kinda buggy to me
I whole heartedly agree.
