a lot of these zoomers simply werent around back in 2007 when crysis launched so they have this incomplete and almost mythical view of how games ran back in the day. Crysis was notoriously heavy and didnt run well on anything at the time. it was insanely CPU bound on top of being graphics heavy so even if you had a top of the line GPU, you couldnt run it at 60 fps.
I remember making a PC 4 years later and still couldnt max it out at 1080p. Constant framedrops even after four years and 3 generations of GPUs later.
He then talks about GTA4 and Ubisoft engines and how they ran games that were stable. Like are you fucking kidding me? Every single game in the early PS360 era that wasnt first party ran at 20-30 fps. We now have games all running at 60 fps but we are saying they are less stable? Because UE5 games have traversal stutters and shader stutters on PCs? Like come on. These youtubers are hacks. They dont even know their own history. Literally last gen, we had 90% of the games running at 30 fps on consoles.
This is why i say fuck 60 fps modes. If gamers dont want to appreciate 60 fps modes, fuck em. Fuck them in the ear. Ship the games with 30 fps games. At least that will force gamers to play the game with the version that has great image quality. I dont even know why Silent Hill 2 or Silent Hill F even have a 60 fps mode. these bitches dont appreciate these 60 fps modes so why bother?
lastly, the guy is simply retarded calling Death Stranding 2 next gen. Saying its doing things UE5 simply cant do. When we all know it's the other way around.
he's simply clueless at best, borderline retarded at worst. Everything he says is wrong. Developers arent just clicking the enable lumen button, they still have to light each area with probes and other invisible light sources. There is still engineering involved. If there wasnt, you wouldnt have some UE5 games that run better than others. He's got zero understanding of how games are built. He also conveniently forgets engines like Anvil, Snowdrop, Northlight, Space Marine 2's engine, ID Tech, IO Interactive's engine, and of course RAGE. All of which have not degraded and are now offering 60 fps modes on consoles for the first time ever. Some do drop frames but thats ok because in the past most games dropped frames when they were targeting 30 fps.
Absolutely insane video. What a douche.
