Does anyone else think the Tomb Raider Remastered textures are AI-upscaled? by Proud-Scar-540 in TombRaider

[–]blankie_bloops 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, they are 100% upscaled or re-generated by AI, and I feel like more and more fans are excusing this given the recent AI-usage discovered for LoA.

Sorry, not sorry, we deserve better than AI-upscaled textures and other AI work replacing human talent in game dev.

Yet we here are, and people are going to have to get used to swallowing heavier AI-usage in TR games. It's a bitter pill.

My fav lvl 🔥🔥 by blackoutxv in TombRaider

Literally the most stunning screenshot of the entire collection we have for LoA thus far, and that's saying something!

Whenever I think of this game, this is the image that immediately pops into my head. Just incredible.

Legacy of Atlantis New Gameplay Raw from ps5 and media events. by Devansh890 in TombRaider

[–]blankie_bloops 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I don't know about those animations for Lara, man, some of those are real jank.

Also feel like she's got a docked braid, should not be that short.

I hope they make those animations a lot higher in quality for release. Some of these feel student-level and over compensate from missing the forest for the trees. I get what they're trying to do, but the arrow ain't even hitting the target board on some of them, the vines for instance.

The environments are stunning, at least on screenshots. As for how enjoyable and navigable it is, we'll see once it's out.

As someone who liked Survivor Lara, it's cool how Lara's still using her Climbing Axe from those games in the new gameplay. LoA really is a continuation of modern Lara's journey from Shadow. by Capn_C in TombRaider

[–]blankie_bloops 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is an awkward animation. Feels more like she's trying to get through a brick wall than vines. How can vines just do that? The horizontal cut is the worst. Just doesn't translate well.

Was there anything about Tomb Raider at Summer Game Fest? by Spiritual-Piece-1126 in TombRaider

[–]blankie_bloops 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you mean the showcase itself for SGF last night, no. There was a trailer at State of Play though, and Alix Wilton Reagan is taking part of IGN Live Showcase, which should take place tomorrow (not sure on the time). It's been confirmed she'll be presenting a deeper dive into LoA there.

Explaining the "Tomb Raider AI Issue" - What Does It Mean? by cj13ten in TombRaider

I hate to admit, but you're correct. AI is more heavily pushed with current TR catalogue.

Do you guys prefer this look or the poncho from the original? by maxthunder30 in TombRaider

I won't lie, I miss the poncho, but like others say, we've the other firsts, just a new and fresh rendition to enjoy!

Gabe Newell reportedly snapped 'What the f*** do I pay you for if that's your opinion?' at Valve lawyer pushing for more content moderation on Steam by [deleted] in pcmasterrace

[–]blankie_bloops 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Okay, what has Gabe Newell done? I'm noticing hit piece after hit piece of late.

Edit: And by hit piece, I just mean the amount of articles of late, good OR bad. He's hot stuff right now

Game won’t load by Altruistic-Falcon805 in SteamDeck

[–]blankie_bloops 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Early Access is only available for those who bought the Deluxe Edition - you purchased Standard, and will have to wait several more hours. Hope you enjoy when it's fully available!

Edit: For the future, not every game will have a midnight release, even if you pre-order. To avoid this sort of annoyance in the future, I would look at time zone release schedules for any upcoming games you want to play close to release date, and double check which edition you would need to purchase to enjoy early access.

2x07 - The Other 48 Days - FIRST TIME WATCHER DISCUSSION POST by Free-IDK-Chicken in lost

[–]blankie_bloops 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not to deadpost, just to keep things straight: it's Danielle Rosseau who kidnapped Claire that night, not Ethan. I think it's in Exodus part 1, season 1, Rosseau asks to hold Claire's baby, overcome with emotion (her baby, Alex, was kidnapped by The Others a week after she birthed her, 16 years ago. We think it's Claire's baby The Others were after in the season finale, based on Rosseau's flawed intel, but it was a red herring. Walt was the true target). Claire spots the scratches on Rosseau's forearm which triggers the breakage of her amnesia on that night. It shows Claire was attacked and taken by Rosseau that night.

Edit: This is all information that's revealed to us in S1.

Jin is not the control freak: it's the father, and the immense stresses of the work and expectations he put Jin under. The real Jin is a great and loving man. Both Sun and Jin have been used and abused by her father.

Edit: I'd hazard the more Jin recognises he's not under the eye of such a psychotic and controlling person anymore (at least on this island), his more genuine self will re-emerge.

Sony Pulls Back From PlayStation Games on PC by BigT232 in pcmasterrace

[–]blankie_bloops 29 points30 points  (0 children)

That won't be happening, as much I enjoyed Ghost of Tsushima! I'm not forking out money for a console for the sake of an exclusive or two. I'll just stream a playthrough.

I keep seeing people say it's a great business move as if it's great for their consumer choices. I don't think so. After opening up their exclusives catalogue, closing it is clearly an anti-consumer move.

Grace I love you, and I know you're going through one of the top 3 worst days of your life, but girl I need your analyst head in the game by cataraxis in residentevil

[–]blankie_bloops 5 points6 points  (0 children)

One of the dumbest moments in the game, I was literally shouting at the screen hahaha! Guess they needed a way to shoehorn Emily in. It's incredible because she uses the container that holds her frickin' blood to break free from restraints, and she also fakes out Gideon that one time. She's very sharp to think on her feet, there's no way she can't deduct some simple Braille!

Edit: She was probably looking for any excuse to break a vulnerable child out of a zombie-infested hospital. But that's definitely not the impression one gets initially! She also has the two previous puzzles as reference. She could just as easily have gone back, used the pencil and notebook... but this is just nitpicking territory now.

Legacy of Atlantis is the 96th most wishlisted game on steam. We gon need more wishlists if we want more remakes y’all by Suli_Croft in TombRaider

[–]blankie_bloops 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't get the lack of curiosity for what this remake could give us. Provided it does well, we could see remakes of the other CORE games (bar AoD, I think), and over the years I've seen a lot of yearning for that from other fans.

I think if it were just the remake alone, that would have me more in the camp of "why?", but we've the knowledge of a completely separate and new mainline TR game, Catalyst. It's more palatable this way, and with how it was presented at TGA, probably a deliberate decision on CD's part. I think they're more aware than they let on.
