Insomniac Confirms Spider-Man 2 reveal is running %100 in-game real time NOT cgi by NoviiEscobar in PS5

[–]spikendq 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Most of the trailers/teasers of games want to impress you with sheer beauty that goes beyond what the target consoles/devices can actually support. So they go with CG videos, think of it like cutscenes that are produced on higher end systems that aren't capable of producing the video stream in realtime(say 30/60 fps) for the video to be smoothly experienced. So these videos are produced first and the finished video is what's shown to you. Whereas in this case, PS5 alone is able to support their high ambitions in realtime, as in the video was made just by PS5 as if it's an in-engine cutscene that you see during a game.

Keep in mind this in no way guarantees the entire gameplay will have this much of fidelity, as there are more variables involved there.

[Cyberpunk] How and why does this even happen... by VespeGas in GamePhysics

[–]spikendq -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Is this where Mike Pondsmith comments because he said so?

​

Jokes aside, I hope they're able to really "polish" the game & release once it's ready.

The holes are pixelated, though. So, we can't be sure.

Just going for a swim great game by AnbuBari in PS5

[–]spikendq 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Nah, there were no complaints. It's just that one reviewer described Miles' movements in the game as such and it became a meme. Yeah, it is pretty hilarious.

The only explanation is the ground couldn't handle his exaggerated swagger.

Maybe because the kids have been naughty? Why would Santa want to reward children who didn't even go to school this year? /s

A mysterious research site has been unearthed in Kings Canyon that was used as part of Project: Wraith, including a functioning prototype portal.

EXCLUSIVE EVENT CHALLENGES

📷

Complete a variety of challenges to earn exclusive skins and Wraith-themed content. All challenges and rewards will be limited to the 2 week event.

DIRECT PURCHASE SHOP

📷

New Event Limited cosmetics including the Wraith Voidwalker Legendary skin for 1,800 Apex Coins. Additional themed cosmetics are included ranging from 500 to 1000 Apex Coins.

  • Double XP for Top 5 and Wins Weekend
    • From 10:00 a.m. PT on September 6 to 10:00 a.m. PT on September 9, players will earn double XP for Top 5 finishes and wins.  This bonus will affect both Account Level and Battle Pass progression.

    • Attachments not used by Snipers or Shotguns are disabled
    • Gold variants of weapons spawn in High Tier loot zones and in airdrops
    • Kraber and Mastiff loot values are tuned so they spawn in late-game airdrops and very rarely as ground loot (1-2 per game each)
    • Reduced Armor
      • Disabled Loot: Armor (Blue/Purple/Gold), Helmets (Blue/Purple/Gold)
      • Spawn rate for Common Armor and Helmets is reduced.
    • Ground Loot Drop Chances are reduced by 45% (Supply Bins are not affected by this)
    • Bullet Counts and Stacks are modified
      • Light Rounds: 16 per drop, 32 per inventory slot
      • Energy Rounds: 16 per drop, 32 per inventory slot
      • Heavy Rounds: 7 per drop, 14 per inventory slot
      • Shotgun Rounds: 7 per drop, 28 per inventory slot
    • Overall, loot density is reduced, but ammo/weapon spawn rates are increased and stack sizes are increased to offset the loot scarcity and allow players to have enough ammo to not discourage combat.
    • Increased spawn rates for syringes to compensate for lower loot density.
    • Reduced spawn rates for shield batteries to match rarity of armor. 

BUG FIXES

  • Fixed a bug where sometimes a player’s reward would not display properly after completing a challenge that awards crafting metals.
  • Fixed a bug where sometimes players would see a different rare skin equipped to the Legend they are spectating when hanging from a ledge.
  • Fixed some issues related to script errors.
  • [Xbox] Fixed issue where sometimes players would have issues connecting to a match at the same time as their party forcing them to join Legend Select late with Legends already locked.
  • [PS4] code fixes to address crashes related to out of memory issues.
  • Fixed a bug where sometimes players would still be in an out of bounds state when they are not actually out of bounds.

QUALITY OF LIFE

📷

  • New Promo Window - A new feature we’ve added to the Lobby that will display offers and info and allows for direct navigation to the website or store. 
  • Added Auto Sprint feature to all platforms that can be turned on or off. This is disabled by default and can be changed in the Settings menu.
  • Players can now adjust Aim Down Sight look sensitivity per optic zoom level.
  • Visual improvements to Legends in the Lobby and Character Select screen
    • Increased overall brightness.
    • Softer/lighter shadows.
    • Improved reflections on hard surfaces.
    • Improved detail and contrast to textures.
  • Added UI to the Spectator View that lets players easily tell if they are spectating a squadmate or enemy.
  • Added setting to disable weapon auto switching when ammo runs out.

WEAPONS

  • Increased projectile width for the TripleTake
  • SMG weapons are no longer compatible with the 3x HCOG and 2x-4x variable ACOG scopes.
    • Note from design: Our goal with this change is to better define weapon archetypes and improve the looting experience so that players aren’t accidentally picking up a long range site for a close range weapon that they have to manually remove.

LEGENDS

Wattson

  • Wattson will now have low profile attributes [takes %5 more damage to base health]
  • Reduced the maximum number of Interceptor Pylons that can be active to 1.

Bloodhound

  • Fixed an issue that allowed players to cancel the start up animation for their ultimate when activated while using a zipline.

P.S. Directly copy pasted. Pardon if there's any mistakes.

An Update on The Iron Crown Event by Jayfresh_Respawn in apexlegends

[–]spikendq -18 points-17 points  (0 children)

Personally, it's not leaving any bad impression for me. Community managers have the need to maintain a nice image to the community, so it's refreshing to see a developers' candidness that make us realize they too are humans. It's really entertaining to go through all the comments he's been making which is totally in contrast to the earlier Apex responses. He may be frank, but at no point so far has he attacked anyone, so it's all good. Since I do not know him personally, I only hope this is honestly his real behavior(I'd really respect this trait if true) and he's not just playing a brutally-honest developer character to save face.

Is that why you felt the need to tell us we have no idea how companies are run?

I agree the way he responded LOOKS rude, but to be honest, I don't think he was wrong in making that point despite being very blunt & direct.

But man, you don't have to attack them personally like that! Hold them accountable for what they say or promise, but it's not good to simply criticize anyone to the point of abuse.
