Different thing, I think. That article is talking about Optane memory, what Crobber is flogging is an SSD.

but https://www.anandtech.com/show/11953/the-intel-optane-ssd-900p-review/11


it's still pretty worthless for average people.

I think Optane will end up like Rambus, an expensive thing that no one really benefited from then other technologies arrived that did it better and cheaper anyway.

Holy poo poo,

The way they are generating the planet surface is so bloated and inefficient.

If I am correct, they are generating like 100's of layers of geometry instanced to use as the boundaries for every physics object. Like SSD Crates or bullet casings or loose tires.

So that's why it's so slow. There isn't just one moon, there's like 1,000's of invisible moons.

It looks like the objects and levels are using separate simple colliders (boxes planes, spheres, etc) which is pretty standard.

But the moon surface is a coarse heightmap displaced by a function to make the smaller bumps of the ground. The bumpiness function normally just affects how the surface is drawn, and it happens on the video card (fast). To get the feet to sit properly they had to generate a physically collidable portion of the displaced mesh, but only around the character's feet (which shouldn't be too slow, I guess?)

The humorous part could be if the resolution or shape of this collidable displacement mesh (which he said is generated every frame) ever changes or glitches out. That's why he said the physics department was skeptical of dynamically generating collidable mesh.

For example, if your character is standing there, and you zoom out with the camera a lot, and the resolution of the ground changes under your feet, making an overlap that ragdolls you up into space.

- No seriously, this is being talked up like it's some breakthrough.
- He runs the basic IK side-by-side with their 'enhanced' version and the difference is negligable.


Nope, I never used IK motion to make Simon the Sorcerer look at the camera, nope not once ever.

Oh. Crap.

Don't you loving do it. We've been looking forward to this all year. Get on the edge of that seat, clutch that dog in anticipation, and get ready to feel the full burn of space game quality.

Also, holy poo poo, did that dude say his favorite moment in the game was a ship collision? Where's the fun gameplay?
