Tom Clancy's The Division [PS4, XO]

[orangpelupa]

Have you guys seem this video?

Comments on this?

Does the technical explanation is correct? I'm not well informed on those light technical stuff...

But when he talks about the lack of global illumination resulting in missing reflection.. Is it really tied like that?

Can't reflection runs independently?
Isn't global illumination usually only used for the lights?

In on PC, waiting for Ps4 code

Edit: In on Ps4 as well

The beta is actually around 26 gigs.

[London Geezer]

He's clearly not a Global Illuminati.

Nah you're the one talking out of your ass ;-) but thats OK I've pinched my nose shut
Global illumination uses everything, not just lights

Please enlighten us on such new amazing real time GI technique that "uses everything"..

 

[Rangers]

It's a long shot but since a lot of codes being thrown around here I could use one for my buddy if anybody has a spare. TIA and all that...Xbox One...hell and/or PC for my Bro while I'm being greedy lol

well I made one 14 years ago.
I think you better look up the definition of 'global illumination' eg type it into google

Global Illumination (GI) is a system that models how light is bounced off of surfaces onto other surfaces (indirect light) rather than being limited to just the light that hits a surface directly from a light source (direct light).

From Wikipedia

Theoretically reflections, refractions, and shadows are all examples of global illumination, because when simulating them, one object affects the rendering of another object (as opposed to an object being affected only by a direct light). In practice, however, only the simulation of diffuse inter-reflection or caustics is called global illumination.

In gaming it usually just means indirect diffuse lighting.

We should call it domestic illumination then

Global illumination is related to reflections, refractions, and shadows from light sources. I dont think this is directly related to mirror effects like those he mentions.
Regardless the sign example light tint is still valid, because the tint caused by the light stays on even when the sign light is off.

Yeah the stuff about baked assets looks right on his video.

Baked asset can be good looking though. Will see myself after I got back from out of town.. One day after the beta started aaaaaaaaaaaaaah

 

[Rangers]

Beta was downloaded last night, guess I'll fire it up at some point...lots to do in Destiny

It's not under NDA, that's good. Some gaffers report it looks better than the Alpha.

Meh, beta on ps4 starts tomorrow lunch time...I am on a trip the whole weekend starting tomorrow at lunch time

 

[Billy Idol]

Sry, double post.

[Nesh]

My gaming time has been reduced dramatically lately. I might give it a try. Maybe.

Do you guys like what you see?

 

[Metal_Spirit]

Anyone with a spare key for any system (PC, PS4 ou Xbox One)?

 

[ultragpu]

Is it just me or this game doesn't even have character self shadowing? It would explain why it looks kinda flat sometimes.
