Moralists don't really *have* beliefs. Sometimes they stumble on one, like on a child's toy left on the carpet. The toy must be put away immediately. And the child reprimanded.

and in the later videos and trailers the amount lowered by 3 or 4 times.

And not only do they have maybe a fifth of the people on the streets, but in five minutes of watching a stream I saw duplicate NPCs, visual glitches (stuff like coffee cups floating in front of the NPC while they smoke a cigarette) and at least one NPC blink out of existence while looking straight at them.

I really want to see what this game actually looked like back in April.

Let me tell you about true luxury.

For anyone who designs games, what is the reason for T-poses as a bug? Is it that characters are designed in a T-pose and then animated? Is that the standard procedure?

Edit- I guess I am suggesting that if you designed characters in a normal stance, the "bug" would be a character not acting normally but standing normally, which seems like a way to avoid some embarrassment.

Series X has the "Day 0" patch baked in if you preloaded, according to folks online.

edit: Interestingly, Series X has the option to lock 30 fps and get closer to a locked 4k or favor fps. PS5 apparently only allows you to run in 60 fps mode. Seems weird to only have the option on one platform. I wonder if that's coming from working in XGDK with the scalability requirements across Series S / X, etc.

Yeah I was kind of surprised to see a performance and quality mode...although and this was with very little switch testing, I didn't seem to notice much.

So Day 0 was baked in, and we're still getting another patch? Cool. I wonder when it will pop up, perhaps it already has as I haven't checked my series X since this morning.

Yes. An actual 3D artist could tell you more, but as I understand it the T-pose is picked because it minimises the amount of texture stretching that happens when the model is put in different poses later.

They had some mix-ups where DLSS was on when they didn't mean it to be on some tests, and they ran some in PSYCHO EXTREME mode instead of Ultra. Probably something like that.

Basically this. Its also a lot easier to spot a bugged NPC if they are in t-pose rather than a pose designed to blend in.

Edit: I mean if you are a dev trying to fix the issue or QA trying to find it.

I've been banging the drum that Ultra is gently caress YOUR $3,000 PC HARDWARE LMAO mode and not something to expect from even good current cards.

And apparently they even have a quality level above Ultra to just make RT 3090s run at 10 FPS for the lols

I saw something on reddit about version numbers, but fwiw Kiwipunk is still at 1.0.0.6. (in the game it's 1.02) Surprised it hasn't pushed the Day 1 patch, I've tried restarting to trigger it, but nothing yet.

The crowd density thing reminds me of when people poo poo on TW3 for their "graphics downgrade" compared to the trailers and at the end of the day nobody gave a poo poo because the game was so loving good. Same thing with the amount of bugs and jankiness TW3 had at launch, it became an afterthought after a couple of patches. I'm expecting the same thing is going to happen here.

Not to mention there are tons of videos people have posted with fairly heavy crowds, but there's a lot of factors, not all streets are busy 24/7 like real life, and obviously a slim PS4 isn't gonna look as good as PC.

Apparently the 101 GB preload already includes the day one patch (1.02).

I haven't seen that? It seems Ultra is the max.

I mean, once you deactivate DLSS and select max RTX (which is separate to the other settings) and 4k, then yes, the RTX 3090 gets hosed :D :D

On crowd density and stuff, I don't mind. I'm getting it on a launch PS4, so I'll be happy with low settings type stuff. Also I was just playing GTA3 recently, and I even still find that city fun and immersive.
