DOOM Eternal - the sequel to the 2016 reboot - now with The Ancient Gods DLC

Most of technical visual improvements require exponentially more processing power and memory, while generate exponentially decreasing visual improvements.

For example, consider a jump from 800x600 resolution to 1920x1080 and another to 4k, both jumps quadrupled the number of pixels, but the first one is a giant improvement, while the second is barely noticeable.
This applies to everything, draw distances, polycount, particlecount, texture resolutions, etc.

Developers try to fully utilise available hardware, but perceived difference between what few years old and new GPU can render is very small, so nothing wrong here, just physical limitations.

Official specs are almost always overblown. I don't get why people still use them as a benchmark after all these years.

I imagine they are for worst case scenarios, meaning what you need to achieve 60 FPS in the most intense and detailed fights.

Like I suspected. He might still be wrong though.

It's often not that the gameplay itself is frustrating, it's things like having to repeat a bunch of trivial actions and scripted stuff every single time because of bad checkpoints.

I've stopped playing quite a few modern games just because of shit like that.

4k is very noticeable as a form of anti-aliasing basically, if you have a big enough screen. Though the better stuff like TAA and DLSS get, the less it'll be seen as necessary I'm sure. It's all about preferences though, as on my old 60hz monitor I loved running at 4k res and downsampling for AA purposes, but now that I have a 144hz monitor that is a MUCH higher priority for me, there's no going back once you experience higher framerates.

In any event, my point was more that the things hammering newer GPUs in most games are stuff like "ultra screen effects" and stuff. Outer Worlds ran at 60ish frames for me on ultra, and then I turned down a couple processing effects to medium and high and suddenly it ran at 100+fps. These games are designed to run on the Xbox One S, so the lower settings should be theoretically well performing on older systems, or there's an optimization issue.

No wonder there's so much console shit in this thing. This guy was probably a console peasant too when he was younger.

this is so cringe, both of them are clueless about video games

 

[Bigg Boss]

It is cringe. It made me turn the video off and I like the podcast. It reeks of "selling out" in some way since this dude is selling a corporate product, not some passion project he is working on. How much money did Joe get from Zenimax Deep State Dead Baby Inc?

 

[Assisted Living Godzilla]

Joe Rogan seems to love Doom and the '90s Quake games, (I think it's Quake 3 Arena he's always bring up the little he does bring up video games) so it's not exactly surprising that if he's having someone on talking about video games it's for this. He had John Carmack on last year.

Hugo Martin looks like a meathead.

Damn, I did not like any bit of that video at all. I pray every day the modern id Software does never touch Quake and make a "nuDoomified" remake of that one. Just don't. Keep away.

i clicked video and man said ‘gaymers’ and i could hear the soy!

In his ravenous hatred he found no peace, and with boiling blood he scoured the Videogame Forums seeking vengeance against the devs who had wronged him. He wore the crown of Sawyer, and those that gave "Participation Awards" to his posts named him... the Doom Seether.

I wish they'd come right out and admit that the game will eventually have MTX. There's no way Bethesda is missing that chance. The pretending they don't know what is going on while the whole game seems to have been built around allowing for player and demon skins if getting annoying.
