Steve2911 posted:Do people really care that much about raytracing? The people who are ready interviews with Mark Cerny and talking about PS5 at least 2 years before it ships probably know and care about raytracing. This is the pre-hype hype you do to start seeding awareness in the core community. Like when Sony bullshitted to gaming magazines about how shipping PS2 internationally would be difficult because export controls regulate the imports of hyper-advanced supercomputers.

Steve2911 posted:Do people really care that much about raytracing? People will care, because it's a substantial improvement and the holy Grail of game tech after making games 3d. Right now games spend a lot of resources on trickery to mimick realistic lighting. It's the difference between a video game and, say, CGI in The Avengers or a Pixar film. Here's raytracing in the unreal engine. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J3ue35ago3Y Donovan Trip fucked around with this message at 22:59 on May 30, 2019 |

Very good point, MGSV shipped simultaneously on PC and 4 consoles spanning 2 generations. DS just targets PS4, which is a major reduction in scope.

MGS V was well into development and announced a year before the next-gen consoles were announced. You can't blame Konami for Kojima's complete inability to complete a project on schedule. Peace Walker came out in 2010, five and a half years later his next game wasn't done. "Fox engine took a long time to build" is also an absurd cop-out, because again that was a Kojima decision, and he either should have got it done faster or gone third-party from the beginning. Konami is plenty lovely but the apologism for Kojima is ridiculous sometimes.

Peace Walker came out in 2010, five and a half years later his next game wasn't done. I'm not apologizing for anyone, Kojima of course shares responsibility for how MGSV stumbled. But MGSV and DS are obviously different projects with very different development stories, it's silly to expect DS to have MGSV's difficulties.

Fair point, but they had to have known the next gen consoles were right around the corner and they had to have known that the dev cycle was going to be long what with making a new engine and all. A minimum of 4 years dev time? One for the engine at best and 3 for the game itself? So given that knowledge, why would you force your game to be made for machines that you KNOW are going to be well (at least 2 years) out of date by the time you release? I don't know poo poo about dev cycles, so take those numbers as the mutterings of an idiot. But I do agree that Kojima hosed up just as well as Konami did. The whole thing was a poo poo show really.

MGSV's gameplay coupled with a hub-style mission system where you could travel to a few different, smaller, really well-crafted environments instead of a giant sandbox that you just end up flying around in a chopper anyway would have been basically a perfect game. Ground Zeroes actually showed off just how well a semi-open design could work if the area was still small enough to get that level of attention, and I honestly don't remember any bases in V that had as much verticality / as many different routes in and out. It's kinda funny that as the series' cutscenes get more "cinematic" the gameplay becomes less so. V still has, for my money, maybe the best actual gameplay ever in terms of just how interactive everything is and good / intuitive the controls feel, but I do miss the very carefully crafted camera angles that MGS1 and 2 played with. Still, there were plenty of good setpieces in V (the intro sequence, the creepy rear end field hospital, the Metal Gear battle, the quarantine, etc.) and even though the narrative was uneven and pretty messy, it still had more interesting things to say than 99% of games do. acksplode posted:I think it was after the first trailer dropped I remarked that Death Stranding is gonna be Kojima shedding MGS canon like Goku removing weighted clothing, and I still feel that way This is pretty much how I'm feeling too.

raytracing has been the next big thing for 30 years and will continue to be until someone figures out the locality problem. amd gpus have no specific raytracing hardware so unless sony's adding bespoke pieces to the ps5 gpu it will be a software implementation. which unfortunately will probably be more of a novelty. we'll be mostly rasterization for a while yet. death stranding: i expect the game to be very uneven and insane. i'm sure there will be awesomely fun bits mixed with a ton of WTF.

Modest Mao posted:I think the US did make a super computer out of PS3s, because their idiotic blast core whatever happened to be a cheaper substitute for whatever some kid of super computer needed PS3's CPU was somewhat novel at the time for having a large number of relatively slow cores, which is useful for work that can be executed in parallel. (The trend up until the early 2000's was increasingly faster single-core CPUs.) Modern supercomputers are basically large quantities of commodity servers networked together, which means they're intended for work that's easy to parallelize among many CPUs. So a highly parallel CPU plus GPU (which is essentially another slow but highly parallel CPU), and the cheap price due to economies of scale, and Linux support, is what made PS3 attractive for building a supercomputer on a budget for a brief moment in computing history.
