i want good graphics
NO FILLING THE HARDDRIVE, only good graphicsš”š”
Jesus christ what a braindead thread this is. Evil devs just filling your games with bytes just to piss you off right
Compression is a thing. But software developers offload their laziness on their users.
From the games Iāve seen, all of them have used compressed textures. Itās the industry norm my dude. I donāt think I have ever seen an uncompressed dds in the wild
You are confusing compressed textures and compressed files. Texture compression is used to give older hardware a chance to render anything by reducing quality of texture which is stored on the GPU. Yes, it has been industry norm since forever, also, not what we are talking about here.
Compression, rendering and other algorithms that use the processing power of the console rather than then entire ssd storage. This 161gb is so incredibly lazy
It would mean slower loading perhaps but thereās a balance to be struck there. Besides, game being fun has nothing to do with game being high fidelity or huge hard disk space.
I agree with this. I think the real problem is that people have been complaining about this for years and Sony and Microsoft still do nothing about even tho they sell consoles meant for gaming. At least add transparent compression to the filesystem. Have more storage for games right off the bat instead of selling 500GB models and calling it a day.
Something that i liked very much on some games was choosing the assets you want to download, you want to play on low, no need to download ultra high res textures.
The thing is, using less resources is always an optimization cost for the company. If the user will just get better hardware, thereās not much incentive for spending on that. Unless the company aims for devices with lower hardware like switch, deck or mobile.
Two things:
Iād say around 98% of players donāt want to choose between texture sizes. Plug and play is by far the most convenient, especially on these sports games. Seriously, think of someone who legit plays nba games, do they really care?
Second of all, graphical fidelity is the only thing keeping these games afloat. There is not much untapped innovation when it comes to sports games. They HAVE to make graphics better per gen to justify 80$ pricetag or whatever these games go for.
Yāall wanted 4K Next Gen Gwaphix well that shits gonna cost you some storage space lol
Sucks but whatever. Been happening since the beginning.
I think the solution to game size (aside from optimization) is breaking up the game into optional downloads. Things like, 4k textures, high poly models, multiplayer, singleplayer etc.
This would be a great feature. However some of that has shared resources. SP and MP probably use 85% same stuff. Have seen UHD Textures as a separate download in some games.
And Starfield is more than twice that. Itās ridiculous.
Thereās no reason for it.
Do you have like solid number of reasonable gigabytes a game can be? How did you arrive to this number exactly?
Starfield is pretty huge though isnāt it? I dunno, it feels like if any games should take that much storage space, itās a massive space game.
Iād prefer they spend time optimizing CPU, GPU, RAM usage instead of storage size.
In third world, internet is expensive, so shit like this would cause alot of people to have to download it over more than a month
Actually internet is cheaper in third world than first world. But PC hardware is expensive.
Christ you people will bitch about anything. You all just want to be pissed off.
Or maybe I donāt want to spend over 100$ for an SSD that can store more than 7 games, or leave my computer on for 24 hours to download the fucking thing.
$60 my man. 2TB. Less than a controller. Youāll survive.
Bro all Iāve seen you doing is bitch about everyone bitching about everything.
You stick around though, and continue to bitch. I donāt know which is worse, tbh. You are aware of the bitching that takes place here and yet you continue to returnā¦and bitch. So my take is that you like to bitch but youāre getting bitchy because other peeps are gathering on your once-private province of bitchery. There was a ton of bitching happening before you came here, and there will be tons of bitching happening after you leave. Cry into the void all you want, you just look like a bitch though
āJapanese game dev has been hereā
āHow can you tell?ā
ā30fps capā
āIs Bethesda a Japanese word?ā
