    Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart [PS5, PC]

    There's no need to say IMO that's a fact. What Cyberpunk 2077 achieved with PT was revolutionary and unprecedented in games. The PC certainly doesn't need unified memory. Buying the CPU and graphics card separately is an advantage for the PC. People talk about the price of PC-gaming being too...

    His other films have their not so good moments and pacing problems but compared to most other blockbusters they are good. Rouge One is the best "Star Wars film" in a long time. Maybe I should watch Godzilla 2014 again. When I have a new projector and screen I will also buy The Creator as a UHD...

    Godzilla X King Kong is stupid. I don't understand why filmmakers make it so easy for themselves. You should have a little more ambition. On top of that, the camera is ungrounded and fast and the giant monsters move far too quickly like small animals. I thought it would be better if you saw the...

    Horizon Forbidden West [PS4, PS5, PC]

    Avatar is in a different league and The Callisto Protocol was the best looking game of 2022. Without RT lighting games hardly appeal to me anymore visually. However, Avatar also has lighting problems indoors. At the moment the measure of all things here is CP2077 Pathtracing. Star Wars Outlaws...

    For me it was clear from the USD 82 million opening in the USA that there would be the next Dune film. However, Villeneuve's recent statements have been somewhat unsettling. Now it's confirmed. Waiting any longer would probably have a negative impact on audience figures. But he is right in...

    The first Matrix film was the best. The others didn't bring anything new but had nice scenes like the action chase scene on the motorway. I wonder about some films. Fast X had a budget of 340 million USD and it looks cheap. Indiana Jones 5 cost USD 300 million. The Expendables 3 cost USD 80...

    Matrix 4 flopped horribly, The movie is said to have had a budget of 190 million USD which is the same amount as Dune Part 2 had. Source: https://variety.com/2021/film/box-office/spiderman-billion-dollars-box-office-pandemic-1235143308/ In addition, advertising costs are at least 100 million...

    Unreal Engine 5, [UE5 Developer Availability 2022-04-05]

    The leaves are of course also geometry. Then I also could say as long as you have no data you also can't say that Robocop has more geometry. I have not started all of this by saying that Robocop is leagues ahead. Typical jungle scene of Avatar.

    Compared to Avatar jungle scenario Robocop only displays a fraction of the amount of geometry on the screen. Avatar is not the typical example that requires a "huge bump in geometry".

    For hand-picked assets the geometry level is much higher than in Alan Wake 2 but not across the board. Robocop only uses Nanite to a small to medium extend for assets/objects. Robocop is not the best Nanite example. In many places it is not much more detailled than many other quality games. If...

    Unreal Engine 5, [UE5 Developer Availability 2022-04-05]

    It was said that Robocop was leagues ahead (Plural form) of Alan Wake 2. However, rubble and rocks are usually only what stands out with much more geometry. The rest is not leagues ahead. The truth is that Robocop also looks like this. Alan Wake 2 is also detailed

    I wouldn't say that. In some rocky places, yes. In other places rather not. I don't think nanite is used everywhere in Robocop.

    This video explains why the world in Dune feels more lifelike than in any other recent Hollywood films. In Dune there is cause and effect everywhere whereas in other films like Star Wars it doesn't matter if multiple planets with billions of civilians get destroyed. It is not dynamic and has no...

    Digital Foundry Article Technical Discussion [2024]

    RTX DI is very promising. In Cyberpunk 2077 the lack of shadows from local light sources was the biggest graphical weakness before they added path tracing. As mentioned in the video shadows from local light sources are also missing in Avatar. Almost all games with local light sources share this...
