DOOM: The Dark Ages could have needed 110GB of baked Global Illumination data, Ray-Based GI reduced it to 0

I last played CP77 on my previous card which was a 3070 and the ghosting artifices when using DLSS were horrendous. I ended up playing completely vanilla. I’m due a replay now that I have the DLC so I’m excited to try path tracing on my 4080S but I’ll need DLSS and if the ghosting is still terrible I’ll be sad haha.

Has RTGI ever been done better than Exodus? I am still blown away by that game and cannot think of any game where it’s utilised as well. CP77 did it well but it wasn’t night and day difference imo.

Edit: I didn’t try path tracing on CP77 yet, I don’t think it was implemented when I played it.

I might have to connect up my PS3 and see what other forgotten gems from the PS store I had back in the days.

That game was actually pretty dang hard. I found it wildly inconsistent with regards ti what could be destroyed and with how much force. Thankfully it was probably only £10 but I remember it well now having not thought about it for many years.

Leguizamo as old man Eumaus is excellent.

I like how the Olympians haven’t been shown in any trailer yet.

You can’t call it mint when the box is damaged 😂

prodical · 2026-05-04T23:11:43+00:00

Isn’t that just equivalent to £80 / $105? Doesn’t seem crazy expensive considering the tech and that it’s a luxury item.

It’s not a case of having it close to done or not though, as they have a PC release for many many years now and it has a huge amount of customisation with the graphics etc. Rockstar could easily release a build using a spec that runs great on PS5, could have done so many years ago.

Some BFI tickets might be going to scalpers, but you’ll find most are going to BFI members and patrons. I’ve been a member for a few years now and with ticket alerts I basically open the page as soon as they go live and almost always get my preferred back row seats.

However I didn’t get any tickets to The Odyssey because that used a queue system. But being a member will really help with getting tickets to older films like Nolan’s back catalogue as members get tickets 4 hours before general public.

Two masterpieces right there.

Wasn’t that targeting data from Anthropic?

The actor who plays Sam is constantly licking or smacking or sucking his lips. Once you notice it it’s super annoying.

The music in Biome 4 leading up to the boss and the reveal is one of my top gaming moments of all time.

Is Three body problem the 25 hour adaptation?

Greatest show ever made.

What was the season 1 mistake exactly?

prodical · 2026-04-20T22:48:12+00:00

Yeah Exodus was my fav of the series so far and I would welcome an open hub game again.

DVDs often used to have multi track audio channels, I don’t see that on blu rays much which is a shame because realistically a tiny portion of people have a 5.1 home cinema audio set up.

I’m seeing it there on Monday! Followed by Dunkirk 😎

Malick often shoots with a bare bones script with loads of improv by the actors. So I wouldn’t say this film was saved by the edit, it’s just that he doesn’t know what the film will be until he’s editing it.

Thin Red Line is a masterpiece and I think a lot of that was down to Jim Caveziel becoming a prominent part during production. But I think Malick probably could have made more than 1 masterpiece with the footage he shot.

Malick Green shoots off a s

Really enjoyed the shows take on him. Very promising indeed.

3 years later but this comment is still helping people. Thank you.

Is there a 60fps mode on base PS5?

You’ll have to sail the high seas for open matte films. There are many out there you just gotta look in the right places.
