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

    If exagerated density is the price we have to pay to get that lighting quality and volumetrics, that's a worthy trade-off to me.

    Next gen lighting technologies - voxelised, traced, and everything else *spawn*

    Yeah, in that case, that's very much Mafia's solution. Which I find very competent, and I wish I got to see it pushed further, though RT made it obsolete. https://www.gdcvault.com/play/1025467/Real-Time-Reflections-in-Mafia

    Are these "panoramas" basically dynamic env. probes? If so, thats pretty similar idea to Mafia Remaster solution, which was very impressive in its own right.

    Honestly, I am not up to date with the current state-of-the art or common practices for translucent shadows not using RT. What are typical solutions? Moment SMs? How many layers? What resolution? Do they use some kind of stocacity?

    Well, technically, every glass has some amount of colour tint to it. And as far as I know, most games barely ever do partial shadows for glass anyway, coloured or not, which would be a significant visual upgrade. Sunglasses come to mind, not because they are everywhere, but because when they are...

    Switch 2 Speculation

    Exactly. Nintendo has to release a WiiU2 for the next switch to succeed.

    Feedback wanted on game project [PC Web] *self promotion

    I tried the demo, but I think it bugged out on my computer. No enemies ever apeared, and I was presented with a never ending menu-after-menu that I could not understand. As for communicating to the player, the most direct non-verbal way of communicating that idea is by representing it as 2...

    Palworld is the new mass phenomenon. 8 million copies sold in 6 days and counting! (Xbox Series S/X, PC)

    Well, the many pokemon sequels are indeed very formulaic, but at least its the formula nintendo itself created, so it can't be called derivative. The game's world also has thematic cohesion, so I would not call it incongruent. You dont see pokemon slaves crafting AK-47s in sweatshops.

    Coronavirus Pandemic (COVID-19) (SARS-CoV-2) [2020]

    Your blindspot is believing dissinformation and exageration only comes from one side. Its a two way street. There are just as many "science" cheerleaders who are more focused on propagating blind trust than truth seeking, and who will twist facts and data to favor that agenda. Well intentioned...

    Palworld is the new mass phenomenon. 8 million copies sold in 6 days and counting! (Xbox Series S/X, PC)

    Everething I've always seen of this game seemed incredibly derivative, un-inpired and incongruent. I dont understand what other people have seen in it. Its like somebody picked random sonichu crayon fan-art from an autistic kid devian-art page and used it as a design document.

    Hello again

    I don't have much insight to add, but I cannot simply go on without just chiming in to say: I'm very glad to see B3D back. I love this place, and love you guys.

    Indiana Jones and the Great Circle [XBSX|S, PC, XGP]

    First person, though? Really? Seems so ill fitting to what I'd expect Indy to be doing... The cutsceens look very Uncharted-esque, which oozes with irony. Perhaps that is the great circle.

    Musk bought Twitter, what hasn't gone wrong?

    Is it really that bad? Does that mean I might have never taken actual LSD? What are the cheap substitutes most often used?

    Activision Blizzard continued issues

    Yeah, every business person and boss is a gready douchebag. Thats not a particularly insightful take. Its the most predictable, vanilla, 18 year old kid kind of opinion. And its so popular because it holds truth. But as with every tired basic belief, its partial and oversimplistic. There should...

    Future Sony first-party PlayStation games coming to PC

    That was six months ago... I've since been promoted to toilet janitor.
