Actually, it's highly probable that the 30 fps on consoles is strictly caused by the shitty CPU. If we look at the Steam requirements, both of these 30 fps estimations are rocking outdated CPUs. The Ryzen 5 3600X is about what's in a PS5/XSX, so it stands to reason that the CPU is the likely the bottleneck.

Someone with a 12700k/5800X will more than likely see 60 fps(with a decent video card) as they are much stronger CPUs.

What is the point of discussing game of the year in February?

No way this is as bad as Xbox 360. You may want to look at a 360 game before you make that statement. However, it does look a lot like Fallout 4 graphics as far as environment goes, I'll give you that, and that was not a great looking game even on release.

Typically delisted games end up being free to download on abandonware sites eventually. Go google abandonware games and see what you can find.

I don't know for sure, but Nvidia's first reveal for just rendering was 5ish years ago in Battlefield 5 and the consoles came out a little over 3 years ago. It's possible that Nvidia pushed for it after the consoles were already ready, but it's also possible that AMD didn't think anything of it and it would have been too expensive to account for. Nvidia also pushed DLSS hard as well, and that actually cascaded over to AMD to create FSR.

The consoles have a lot to be thankful for to Nvidia, honestly. If Nvidia hadn't invented DLSS and marketed it like crazy, FSR would have ceased to exist.

Well, to be fair, ray tracing and stuff like that was completely off the table before the gen started. Those seem to be the big killers since DD2 will be getting ray tracing(at least on the PC version)--and if it is, then that might be the major fps killer, but who knows what's going on behind the scenes.

The funny thing is, consoles are dropping resolution for many games and many still aren't running at 4k. The Finals, for instance is only at 1440p basically all of the time except looking straight up into the sky on the consoles. It's not really the fact that 4k is hard to hit, because that's not even the reason much of the time--it's mainly the garbage CPU they put in these consoles.

I'm looking and I only see improvements, not actual extra RT methods used. It seems to be just reflections, which is exactly what the PS5 uses, of course at a lower level of RT detail. This is from the DF page: https://www.eurogamer.net/digitalfoundry-2022-marvels-spider-man-pc-tech-review

Where exactly in the video do they highlight new RT features? Because frankly, I'm not watching the whole 26 minutes to find it. Lol

Were there? Or were they just stronger RT implementations? I know the reflections and shadows have more bounces, but I don't think they added any extra RT. I believe Returnal added reflections for the PC version, whereas the PS5 still uses screenspace.

It is possible that Horizon FW adds RT later on, though, you are right about that. Since Returnal didn't have any RT at all to begin with and then they had a big update.

I was hoping they'd add some RT, but I figured they wouldn't since they didn't for any of the other ports except Returnal, which looks great.

I'll be skipping this at least until it's cheap since I wasn't a big fan of the first one.

If it had RT, I'd want to check it out just for the tech portion, but meh, I'll wait.

Glad it's coming to PC, though.

That makes zero sense. I'd remove all of those, but compromised integrity likes to do that and skew the narrative. *hint hint*

Monster Hunter does not have a join code through the main menu. Everything is done within the game after you load in. The system isn't the same at all.

Elden Ring has no loading screens until you fast travel or die. Even the dungeons are not instanced so to speak.

Churches? What?

And tons of games use building mechanics, so are all of those games comparable to Fortnite? These comparisons are ridiculous and nonsensical.

All of the things you wrote make zero sense to people that have actually played the game.
