No doubt they’ll be the people least deserving

Here in Australia I’m hosting a snow trip next week… there is still no snow in the mountains where we’re goin

Also f summer. Hayfever and bushfires suck

I have no idea why you’re getting upvoted… You keep saying optimisation, but for what?

Mind referencing where the 86mb claim comes from?

They’re either likely including different scaled images, to help accommodate different video card VRAM configurations, or, full quality that gets scaled as required. My guess would be a few differently scaled images, as you wouldn’t pull in 4K images for Scenary that is in the background for a game, and then rescale in realtime if you’re not running with much VRAM (similar to icons, they have multiple scaled images too).

You’ve picked a bad example (EA), but there are plenty of remastered games that are absolutely fantastic compared to the original, like Command and conquer (obviously though, VRAM isn’t an issue there). That isn’t even the first NFS dud though (a lot of them were garbage after HP). In fact, Fairly sure I bought the latest one and it doesn’t run correctly on my Rog Ally X (even when set to 30W).

One other consideration is that we’re also playing games in 4K these days, which absolutely makes a difference to 1080p.

We all look back fondly to games from 20 years ago which blew our minds away, but, if you replay them, you’ll absolutely see the difference. My mind was blown with Half-life 2 as an example, but, I started playing it again, and the quality difference is DEFINITELY obvious to modern games. Similar to when you switched from glide to OpenGL on Half-life 1, and it felt too crisp (and was better quality, but uglier)

Previously low resolution make things look better, and reduced expectations, but its blurring and such obscured bad textures. With 4K, even in movies, every pimple and bruise now shows clearly on camera, and blocky textures are obviously. CGI in movies becomes blatantly obvious too (watch the matrix 2 as an example). That’s why resolution matters a lot more now.

Serious question, do you seriously think image lossy compression is difficult for game developers? lol

There are googly eyes on my robotic vacuum. Ie. DJ Roomba

Id imagine that movies and textures use up the bulk of the space.

There isn’t much to optimize there. Optimizing for performance also sometimes requires additional storage

It’s wild that you’re getting down voted 😂

You’re not wrong.

No, It’s still criminal to threaten to murder someone. And, it should remain illegal.

No idea why anyone would think criminal incitement is ok…

Pornhub is blocked. I just checked lol.

All the videos up aren’t porn, and there is censored porn videos to click that asks for verification

And yeah, honestly, pornhub is more ethical than Facebook, because they take down content that is illegal. Facebook don’t

Again, meta aren’t even moderating anymore.

They aren’t doing enough. I’ve seen lots of obvious criminal incitement amongst other things that has been reported, and it’s not against their standards

It’s not that teens shouldn’t socialize, it’s that meta have been so criminally fucking negligent that the biggest dipshits on the planet are normalizing absolutely crappy behavior

I would go one step further and start fining them heavily for all criminal activity that doesn’t get taken down too

Lets thought experiment…

If I create a local AI, and train in all the music, images and assets from GTA5 and then prompt it to create a game, with the GTA5 storyline with screenshots of videos of each storyline point and outcome… Should that be legal? Should it suddenly make it legal if I add 1 extra image that is public domain and got blended into it a bit?

Whether it is legal now, and whether it SHOULD be legal are two different things.

The laws simply haven’t caught up yet… Just because AI blends up a bunch of images it was never given permission to use and you can’t trace where they were from, doesn’t mean it SHOULD be legal to do so. Thats the problem.

Well, That’s my experience when I realised they were genuine buttheads who were acting… I’m not going to make something up for votes…

She can’t even say something as basic as that without s*itting on half of the country again.

What she said wasnt stupid… Nope, it’s the people who are left wing that are apparently… And that is at least half the country

I bought them on the wii store. And they didn’t go to Wii U too

Or, these shitty ai companies could pay creators a small amount to use their content for training. What is the problem with that?

There is no incentive for anyone to create original content anymore if AI will just steal it. Id argue that is dangerous

Good luck with your Nvidia shares …

Don’t even bring open source into this. Open source isn’t about stealing work mate. It’s about sharing it. And very few people consent to ai using their data. I know it copied a huge amount of data from our own website, despite the copyrights on it.

The people who generally want this are generally people who don’t contribute much of value that AI will steal

I’m Australian, but I lost interest on cenk uygurs show when the person he was hosting with started saying she was entitled to vape around other people…

At that moment I knew instantly that however they were acting on camera wasn’t genuine

Seems fine for most gamers… As others have said, Steam don’t make much profit on it, and the hardware isn’t bad.

Not everyone is playing 4K titles with raytracing. And when you start considering how quickly the cost of games adds up, steam ends up cheaper fairly quickly (I can’t imagine buying 300 games on PS5 lol)

Completely missing the point… Given that Artists work was basically used to train AI, a lot of them in particular would be hesitant to pay for something which possibly uses some of their work they didn’t get paid for.

Also, when I as a consumer see AI has been used, it is closer to suggesting they took shortcuts to make the game

Yeah. I have 2 copies now of no mans sky I’m fairly sure… And, I sold my PS5 and xbox ages ago
