I agree with your point. But sometimes I see them just have massive letterbox across the screen that they write out the full resolution. I find that helpful because I’m not always doing mental math as I watch the video if the resolution isn’t normal.
A game worth remaking!
Everybody knows this about the traversal stutters but almost none bothers doing a damn thing about it.I've tried the PC version of this which performs fine...except, it's UE4 by a small studio. So you guessed it - no shader precompilation + traversal stutter.
The traversal stutter is annoying but relatively brief enough, the shader stutter is the key culprit though - it will have rooms halt and skip when you enter them and just pan around. Jesus man.
current consoles have shown that 60fps could be a standard on consoles, people were waiting for that for many years, every gen the classic discussion. It's not without tradeoffs or without 30fps quality modes, but now the CPUs are better. Next gen should be 4K 60fps standard, but who knows. Consoles' specs can improve dramatically, i.e. vram amount.
I assume this is a typo. PS6 wont have anywhere near 2 TB of RAM and there is unlikely to be a scenario where a PS7 is plausible.
Looking forward to seeing this in action. Hopefully this provides some additional insight into console performance as ell
The SSD's were largely in response to the lack of ability to improve RAM quantity, since price per GB improvements have slowed to a crawl this past decade or so. If you can stream large amounts of data into RAM quickly, you dont need as much spare data sitting around 'just in case', so you get a huge RAM(usage) efficiency boost. MS likes to talk about 'memory multipler', which is basically a different way of saying the same thing. Doing more with less. MS also brought out Sampler Feedback Streaming for this same thing(though to what end it's gotten used is largely unknown up to this point).
Yeah, but no. Above a certain amount it's a pointless resource and wasted. 96GB of RAM this gen would have made zero difference yet cost the earth. Same with framerate - above a certain amount, you won't gain any benefit. Same with resolution. 16GB is a pretty good fit for what the rendering can do, especially with the massive improvement in storage which isn't shown in your comparison. What was the storage speed up and latency decrease from PS1 to PS2 to PS3 to PS4 to PS5? PS4 to PS5 is what, 3 gbps to 44 gbps? More RAM was the only option in increase data availability - PS5 moved that need to a huge storage upgrade.
Why do they need to? We shouldn't be looking for upgrades for upgrades sake. What is the work that can be done and what are the resources needed to enable that? Given x amount of compute and processing power, so-and-so costs to produce content, xyz streaming tech, what actual amount of RAM and storage specs are needed to supply the perfect amount of data? Or more realistically, what's the optimal cost/benefit to hit probably a non-ideal solution but to get that 80% of ideal resources for 25% of the cost - same way we balance clock speeds with power drawer to get a more balanced power than just clocking as high as possible.
Imagine if the XB1/PS4 era were limited to just 4GB instead of 8GB. Games would have been necessarily limited in their detail and fidelity, especially in the second half of the generation when most all the most impressive games properly using the potential of the consoles came out.
