  1. My guess is standard ray tracing where they would be CPU limited since they are still going with an AMD GPU vs an Nvidia hardware solution.
  2. As kind of an aside to Xbob’s impressions; I learned a long time ago not to play prior game in a series unless I need it for story reasons or I already really liked it. Two reasons: the world or gameplay is likely dated and since I have no nostalgia for it I wont be able to get into it. Chances are there could be multiple little improvements to the new entry that everything I hate is gone or not that bad. burnout is the other one. Even if I didnt hate something, it could flip on me like a switch in the new game that I no longer tolerate something. Or I could just get bored with the whole formula and stop playing the newer game prematurely. at this point I can never go back and experience the last game like others did when it was new and at a certain time in the industry.
  3. Holy shit this show is so good. I didnt think they would make tv like this any more. Shit they barely make movies of this quality any more. Just finished watching the first two episodes. Im so hooked.
  4. Ive seen a couple channels do non-scientific experiments, one being Linus Tech Tips where they had an RTX 4090 and brought people in to see if they could tell if they were looking at 4K or 8K. They either couldnt tell or incorrectly chose between the two. part of the problem too is screen size vs viewing distance. We’re getting into territory where to really be able to see the difference you’ll meed to be sitting closer to a larger screen than is recommended. but as far as marketing goes, many consumers dont care. Its not that they will get or have an 8K tv. Its that it can do it. It’s not even like Sony will market it as 8k/30fps. They’ll say “8K” and “120fps” and casual consumers will think it could possibly do 8K/120fps. the playstation super sampling is interesting. I wonder if multiplatform titles will use as that could mean theyre now having to implement now 4 different types of super sampling, not counting any differences in work between FSR2, FSR3, and DLSS 3 and DLSS 3.5. So I wonder if implementation will pretty much be on exclusives only.
  5. Ive seen some say what they played felt more watered down than those games. As if the point of Rise of the Ronin is to appeal to a wider audience than their games normally do. Seemingly all who felt that way wondering if mid to late game will have that Team Ninja depth in its combat and encounters. it also sounded like from early impressions that parrying is very important. So if that’s true then that alone could hurt this game with people that normally dont like souls-like games. And if it feels more shallow than popular Team Ninja titles it could feel unremarkable to their existing fans. I hope it’s just a case of the early game and what Team Ninja were willing to show was just the earliest parts of the game meant to ease in players. We shall see when review copies go out and the embargo lifts.
  6. Pretty mixed preview impressions around the internet. Not seeing anyone outright say it’s bad. some feeling the limited amount they’ve been able to play and have been shown by Team Ninja isnt enough to make a decision yet, but some do say the game so far doesnt feel as good as the contemporaries making this style of game or in the same time period. Then there are people that are just glowing about it. I get the feeling this is going to be in the 7-8/10 range.
  7. I struggle to think of an industry that isnt built on exploitation. It’s surely can be more predatory and physically harmful in the porn industry. Which seems more like it needs legislative protections for its workers, not slowly trying to legislate the industry out of existence.
