DF Direct Weekly  

From Software isn't above criticism, and we shouldn't pretend that they are because, ultimately, we are paying the price they ask for their product.

Totally agree with Alex, charging 70 bucks and expecting gamers to put up with a technically poor performing or broken game is ridiculous.

I love how all 3 of them basically just agreed to the fact that Elden Ring issues can be fixed easily, but the publisher just won’t fix it.

I think when it comes to the way Capcom does 'remasters' -- if it's just the old game but with minor updates they call it "HD". Here with Dead Rising they are calling it "Remastered" because of updating the assets but the game has the same structure. And then they call something a remake when it's a "reimagining" of the project.

Yup, I'm tired to see FromSoft getting pass on the same mistakes they make for years...

"toning down the harshness of negative reviews". Please don't. If there are issues with game performance then it needs to be said. God knows noone else seems to tell us viewers about them

Whoever told Alex to not be so harsh about Elden Rings PC performance because they find the game fun should just keep their opinion to themself. Fun is subjective performance isn’t and AAA games releasing with poor performance on PC needs to stop. They’re charging too much for this to be acceptable

Capcom Vancouver died after Dead Rising 4 flopped. They lasted a year to make the PS4 update for the game, and a bad mobile Puzzle Fighter game. DR2 was on MT Framework but Inafune was working on that game. For DR3 and 4, they were using something internal called Forge Engine I think.

Let's recap on Elden Ring on the DLC release: Console: 1) fps is just unstable in every mode despite the reality that, literally all they'd have to do is scale back whatever it is they are using for upscaling & maybe cut back on some foliage 2) poorly optimized RT (this is consistent across the board) that eviscerates console performance 3) so stuttery overall that certain people justify using the ps4 version on ps5 PC: 1) no way to manipulate framerate caps or go above 60fps 2) janky-ass RT implementation that can look good in certain areas for a huge fps hit, and then in others do almost nothing except AO for no or almost no FPS hit 3) absolutely zero upscaling capability in spite of the janky RT that just eviscerates performance on all but the absolute top-tier GPUs 4) weird freezes on certain hardware (maybe all hardware, who knows, but I've noticed it & Alex points it out as well on diff specs) And all of this nearly 2 1/2 years after release with a near full-price DLC release and we're all supposed to just say nothing because FromSoft is your boyfriend? They aren't even trying, man. I'm sorry I have to tell you, but you are in an abusive relationship. Maybe if you did stand up for yourself things might get better... I'm so not surprised this is the response to serious crticism of anything FromSoft touches at this point. Like, it's hilarious at this point, this isn't even talking about the freaking gameplay and people still feel the need to white-knight for something that is literally observable objective reality that can be represented with data... Nobody is saying you aren't allowed to enjoy the game and because it's a juttery mess you should hate the game... They're observing how it performs on various hardware & reporting on it, as people expect them to. Both Capcom & Team Ninja/Koei Tecmo can patch their janky in-house engine releases after the fact (Dragons Dogma 2 & Wo Long) to include features from this decade and fix optimization, but FromSoft can't? We just have to accept this because it's FromSoft? It's 100% legitimate to ask 'why not' because frankly there isn't a clear answer except perhaps 'because everyone will forgive them anyway', which is sad and worse for everyone. I like FromSoft games, that's why it sucks so much every time I play Elden Ring and think, "man, this experience could be so much better if they just gave one small fraction of a fuck"

I think Capcom called it a Deluxe Remaster just so they can call it DR:DR

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="2910">48:30</a> - specifically on the price of Forza Horizon 4, the Ultimate edition with all meaningful DLC is on deep sale on Steam (15 USD before sales tax / 17 GBP after it), and Microsoft have also announced it will go on deep sale on the Xbox and Microsoft stores from 14th July. So they are both deeply discounting, and telling us what date that's coming. The game is very very worth picking up at those prices.

so many angry people at the mere mention of criticism directed at From, I just dont get how people can be fans of corporations

Counter-Strike 2 does have MSAA

The fact that elden ring launched with those stuttering issues at all is pretty inexcusable, but now that we're 2 years after the fact with a new expansion where they invested none of their resources in fixing as the guys said low hanging fruit is just insulting quite frankly. I don't even dislike elden ring, but honestly its technical state should damage its rep alot more than it does.

I don't understand why the Fromsoft bootlickers have to comment on you guys doing your jobs. Alex was harsh, but rightfully so. It's insane how Capcom is fixing DD2, which released after Elden Ring, while Fromsoft does nothing to improve the technical side. They are not a small indie company. We shouldn't defend corporations. All the money and sales they have made, should be invested to improve the experience for their players. We are paying for the game, so expectations are not unreasonable for the money. I am glad you guys are vocal about these issues, since too many people are in denial, and can't seem to seperate the technical side from the content side.

Don't play with us; you're modelling the hell out of that t shirt Rich

Nothing quite like a tub of manmilk to get your morning started.

Thank you for being upfront about your criticism on bigger game studios not taking performance seriously. Gamers become so blindly loyal, that they will defend problems until the end of time. Because they “personally” didn’t care about poor optimization. Also, they seem to forget it’s another persons opinion, and they aren’t required to watch it, or agree with it.

As someone who has worked a bit with Unity the camera stutter issue is really annoying and not well documented/agreed upon on how you should fix it. I find that setting interpolation on the target rigidbody is not enough and does not always fix the problem, and I also would not recommend changing the physics update to 60, because ultimately that will still make physics motion weird at higher frame rates and have a hit to performance. The best solution I have found is to just not parent the camera to the rigidbody object and instead have a small script that places the camera on to an empty camera transform each frame (wherever you need the camera to be relative to player location). All that being said if a rigidbody rotates I found it can STILL cause camera stutter even after all of that so I would lock down rb rotation as well. The amount of tinkering and experimentation I had to do to make this problem go away is ridiculous it should be a one-button fix built in to the camera object by default but hey whatever Unity has other priorities I guess. I am also a total novice at game dev so maybe the pros out there have a simple solution but I haven't found it.

I think the reason a lot of reviewers don’t mention the technical side in any detail is because DF exists! DF have carved out a niche and become experts/specialists in it. Your average reviewer wouldn’t have known about SGSSAA (I didn’t either)

Alex, we call pointy sticks spears 😭

Your critique wasn't harsh it was on point it was a reflection of the product but when you're an industry darling fans will come at you in order to support the product. All simply because they liked it so should you. I've seen this play out with devices software Etc name it <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="71">1:11</a>:46

Hey as long as Capcom has Gone Guru playing when the convicts are driving in the park it’ll be alright in my books.

I really appreciate DF speaking out on game preservation. I really wish we could find a way to preserve games.

I played Forza Horizon 4 only via game pass and bought some DLCs later. A couple of days ago MS offered me a key for the game itself (for free) in order to not lose the ability to play my bought DLCs.

Bear in mind we are NOT always playing the final shipped build when testing features. QA do. But developers mainly run at much lower framerates due to debug builds.

While PS2 emulation is a separate thing, the effort and strange choices made for PS1, PS2, PSP emulation have been pretty consistent. I doubt they would go all out for PS3 when they haven't done anything impressive yet in regards to emulation.

I think the reason people consider DF's critiques of Elden Ring "Harsh" is that they focus solely on the technical performance of the games, with little regard to other aspects of it. While it's a perfectly valid method to critique a game (and DF's mandate to begin with), I can see how it would put people off who see Elden Ring as offering a tremendously good value to the customer, especially in this age where good games are rare, and charging a reasonable price for them even more so. I personally see the triumph of Elden Ring as more of the latter, it's really a generational effort, but Fromsoft's technical prowess clearly leaves something to be desired, even after all of the improvements they've made since DS1's PC port.

WICCA - What a terrible take. Lol. Imagine being an apologized for a huge company taking advantage of its customers, shipping half broken games while raking in millions and millions of $$$. But take it easy on them, won’t somebody please think of the millionaires. My god. Alex was spot on with his criticisms of FROM. I wish he was harsher.

"The game doesn't look as smooth as it should, and this is nuts!" No Jon, this camera issue in Super Monkey Ball is clearly BANANAS.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="71">1:11</a>:18 If your game stutter, I won't be immersed at all. Simple as. Alex's tone is absolutely on point.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="74">1:14</a>:35 i applaud this --- and in fact i did put my hands together --- way to go Alex!

The first dead rising was a really special game. It's one of those ones that had an amazing atmosphere that just sucked you in from the first minute. I really hope the remake does it justice

These comments defending Elden Ring's technical problems are wild to me. Just vague notions of "fun" and "immersion" and other nonsense that doesn't even attempt to understand the issues. Maybe those people don't notice the performance issues and that's fine, but for people like me who do notice them... When I'm playing a game and constantly noticing the lack of smoothness, the stutters, the technical problems... That breaks any immersion I could have had. Instead of being absorbed in the world I'm constantly reminded that I'm playing a video game that doesn't run properly. I can't have when I'm just thinking "i wish they would fix this already" the entire time I wish these commenters would just be honest and say "I can't notice it so I don't care if it gets fixed" instead of coming up with all that malarkey about why nobody else should have a problem with it either. In particular, what was that crap about "don't mention it until From Software is back on their feet"? When was From Software off their feet, exactly? Utter nonsense.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1975">32:55</a> fire sticks are a must have when traveling because hotel TVs absolutely suck when it comes to having any apps at all

I am sorry Elden Ring sold over 10mil in the first few weeks and over 25mil to this day. With over 5mil expansions sold. They have no excuse about resources not fixing the game

Dragon Dogma 2 still needs work

all digital content should be released to public domain if they are claimed as a tax write-off or unavailable for general sale

Hi Alex. Unfortunately SSDs (if that is in fact where the Horizon vids are) are not thought to be as reliable as magnetic disks for long term storage of unchanging data because SSDs functionally trap an electron as memory instead of memory being a magnetic piece which is just flipped and then is at rest. The mechanism holding the electrons in place within SSDs can deteriorate over time, so I'd recommend cloud or big magnetic hard disks for long term cheap storage which are slow but reliable.

I feel like the more you critic them the better, hopefully one day they will fix everything. But since everyone still buys the games they don't bother trying, they just say people like this name of game and will buy so we don't have to try

I think of beer when I hear Keystone.

The biggest issue with FH4 being delisted is there are two expansions for that game, that are really good, that were digital only. So even if you bought it in advance or buy a physical copy, if you haven't bought that digitally, there's no way to experience it.

Liking Alex's Young Frankenstein reference there! 😙👌

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="73">1:13</a>:57 I have been playing Elden Ring PS4 on PS5 for almost 100 hours (after enduring the horrible performance of the ps5 version even on a LG C3 with VRR) and surprisingly, the more you advance in that version, the more frequents are the fps drops. There are parts in Raya Lucaria and Caria Manor when the FPS drops to almost 30. and i imagine there are even more when reaching to big places like Leyndell Royal Capital.

Capcom Vancouver was shut down in 2018 RIP 😢

I love Alex's "sick" as a response to the third exclamation mark in Q3

Not harsh criticism AT ALL. Fromsoftware themselves have shown they can do high refresh rates with Armoured Core 6. And then you have Lies of P, just kicking From's ASS in terms of optimization and settings options (not to mention it is arguably on par with fromsoft gameplay wise too, and looks beautiful!)! I love Fromsoftware, but I'm not going easy on them just because they are the gaming community's darling. NO ONE is above being called out on their own BS. (Loving Elden Ring DLC, but I'm HATING the shite camera, bad 3rd person camera control should NOT be an issue in 2024 for $70 😡)

WICCA they about to meme you to death from now to eternity, with your supporter question.

"Wicca" managed to say one of the most intellectually void things I've ever seen, thank you for this opportunity to witness... whatever that statement was.

The real problem with games like Forza are the external licences and it is 'illegal' to make money from anothers trademarks/IP's. MS can't sell the game with Ferrari cars if Ferrari aren't getting their money for using their cars. If you 'own' the Disc or Digital version, you can still play as the 'money' you spent to buy the game also gave some money to Ferrari for example - you've paid for a license to access that game. MS aren't producing more Discs and if you can still find New Old Stock, you are still buying a 'licence' to access whatever content you paid for. its 'preserved' for the Owner as long as they keep their account or keep the disc/hardware it was meant for. If you can't buy FH 1-4 anymore, you have 5 to buy/play. If you can't buy Fifa 09 anymore, does that matter with Fifa 20 of FC24 now? Should they be preserved too? Madden as well for example. I don't think every game 'needs' to be preserved and be 'purchasable' indefinitely. In 10 yrs time, with maybe FH6 or even 7 now out, then that is the 'game' people are playing/buying and likely will still be able to play in another 10yrs despite that game being delisted and now FH9 or 10 is out... Unless it gets remastered with modern Physics etc, these games tend to get dated - even the cars you get to use will be considered 'old' in 10yrs time and you can't drive the latest 'supercars'. I can't play Goldeneye today because it feels so old and dated next to modern FPS games despite the 100's of hours I spent playing on N64. I can't play games like Sabrewulf, Knightore, Jet Set Gemini or Perfect Dark. Even Pac-man or space invaders bore the hell out of me today.

regarding "harshness": if i pay full price i expect full quality. its as simple as that. and if reviewers with their outside look can not only identify the issue but offer solutions (without access to source code and all the debugging options that come with this), then it is not too much to ask that studios put in the effort. in the end this is a management and financial issue. its just greed and believing to get away with it. i guarantee that each of the devs would love to put in the time and effort to make the game run better.

How can a person 'working in the industry' not see that making a solid, locked 60 fps on consoles in Elden Ring would not require any amount of money nor human ressources is beyond me.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="900">15:00</a> Idk when this was recorded. But from what I’ve seen about the developers of the original re1 pc version it seems to have gotten some improvements if I understood it correctly. I watched the sphere hunter’s video on it.

Just a minor comment about the engine for Trails through Daybreak, this is Falcom’s first game on their new engine. Subsequent games after this release are all on it, Ys X, Trails through Daybreak 2, Kai no Kiseki. Anything prior to that was on the old engine with the last title on it being Trails through Reverie.

Regarding the Unity 50 Hz rant: Interpolation is the sensible solution for anything other than console exclusives as you need a locked framerate for the approach John described (setting tick rate to the equivalent of the target framerate). Also keep in mind that with "tickrate = framerate" if you ever drop one frame you will need to do double physics on the next frame. You need headroom in the cost of the physics or you're turning every single frame drop into a multi-frame stutter incident. However there is at least one way around this: Tie the time to the framerate (so when you drop a frame the time is effectively paused for that frame - no additional physics update is triggered). Now you've basically emulated an old school engine inside Unity. You're effectively doing physics per frame. I think it's an interesting idea for innovative or "retro" indie devs but for bigger companies if they use Unity it's probably because they want to hire from a large pool and they want to iterate and ship quickly. Using such a unique approach to physics is going to confuse devs who are otherwise experienced in Unity. It's going to cost time. The fact that this SMB game uses the default tick rate already speaks volumes. The devs did not want to customize anything unless they needed to. The correct solution for this kind of developer is definitely interpolation.

Holy shit Alex that was one well-phrased reply

Dont tone down the harshness on the technical issues. The technical issues are utterly unacceptable. Indie devs are able to polish their games to the extreme. See Rimworld, Factorio, Prison Architect and Xenonauts 1 and 2, and many many more. These big studios pushing out worthless garbage at full retail pricing is complete BS.

Don't hate on that firestick, it's useful when like me you're still running a 2009 TV. No interest for the idea of streaming games through it though.

When it comes to PS3 emulation on PS5 couldn't they leverage the Tempest Engine to help? In the PS5 presentation Cerny noted the Tempest Engine is almost identical to the Cell.

Looking forward to the shootout between Lossless Scaling and the other frame gen solutions!

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="70">1:10</a>:20 The question from Wicca I have some massive issues with. Firstly about the layoffs in terms of the state of the industry, Miyazaki has made it very clear they are not laying off staff at From, if anything they are looking at growth but not massive expansion. Secondly there is nothing more immersion breaking than trash frame rates, massive stutters, the game paugin then speeding back up so I completely disagree with the point that From focus on immersion as a well performing game is fundamental to this. As Alex mentioned basic stuff like say fps above 60fps was modded into the game, this mod literally came out within hours of the base games launch and has not been officially supported, that is just pure incompetence to not be done in 2 years. Same for UW support, FoV, getting the game to 60fps on consoles. And anyone who's played the DLC to the end will know how terrible the performance issues can be, i went from 120fps to 29fps during a boss attack. The base game was £50 the DLC was £35, base game has sold over 25 million copies and the DLC has already sold over 5 million. From do not get a pass for making a "fun game" they are one of the worst in the AAA space for technical quality, they need to use that money to hire competent staff. Heck even paying the modders to add basic features that took them a couple hours of work would be a improvement. Japanese devs always get a pass from the community when compared to the likes of EA and Ubisoft, this needs to stop, they are selling product it should be better.

The Unity issue isn't something Unity can fix besides better developer education. If developers are telling the camera to only update in the fixed update loop at 50hz then the engine is going to do what the developer is telling it to do. Hacking to game to change it to 60hz won't fix the problem if you are at a higher frame rate. It also wont fix the problem because the fixed update loop may not sync up with the render loop even if both are 60hz.

The biggest "problem" with negative coverage on any kind of media, but specifically in the case of video game visuals and performance is that while Digital Foundry is (excellently, I might add) creating responsible, nuanced content, the Internet at large isn't using it in a responsible, nuanced way. In fact, it's often used by bad actors as further "proof" as to why a game is terrible and its developers lazy, or worse, they misrepresent what the DF crew create as trying to slander a game such as Nintendo content creators upset at the "Too big for Switch" Tears of The Kingdom debacle. Honestly, this isn't DF's problem as much as the "John Q Internet" needs to be more mature and measured. It definitely makes it less exciting to talk about gaming for sure.

NEVER tone down being "harsh" because then you make subpar acceptable and common. Boo hoo, Elden Ring devs are lazy.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="81">1:21</a>:08 - how does IGN deal with tech issues in its reviews? Is there space for a partnership where they put DF comment boxes on the side to give a perspective on performance (without changing review scores unless the reviewer chose to do that)?

i don´t get this critiquing the "harshness" of the critique thing, or maybe i do but only if it´s your first time watching df. i mostly don´t care for minor hiccups or stutters or zoom in artifacts either, but i´m free to ignore that if it doesn´t cross the threshoud were it would bother me, and so is everybody. df isn´t evaluating gameplay it´s mainly objective technical analysis and they bring the receipts. those issue are there wether you like it or not and you can just ignore those and still enjoy the game. most people don´t even notice these things let alone be bothered by it.

Are you guys going to look into Forza Motorsport Update 9? It brought some graphical improvements which made a night and day difference in how the game looks (new sky rendering, new gamma and color correction). It might not sound much, but trust me it's a massive difference. For example Maple Valley looks so beautiful now.

The only thing of value in the Assassin's Creed series is the focus on historical setting. They need to go full Kingdom Come Deliverance in the virtual museum aspect.

In regards to FromSoftware. Subjective fondness doesn't excuse objective technical issues. The games gets enough worship for something that to me looks old and janky. People are just emotional creatures who will put up with a lot of shit if they like something. If more people complained, they would fix it. It really undermines the value of my opinion if people tell me I'm being "dramatic over performance issues" and just have to "enjoy the game." Sorry if my eyes are superior to yours and major stutters and the game dropping to 0 fps doesn't break your immersion and impact your enjoyment. "It looks cool" is an extremely shallow reason to excuse fundamental technical issues with one of the most successful games of all time. The fact this is even a debate or conversation is very disappointing

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="794">13:14</a> I'd say Crisis Core - Final Fantasy VII - Reunion is another game that fits this awkward space on what to call it, its still a remaster like this new Dead Rising but has heavily updated graphics with new character models, new voice acting, added voice lines for NPCs that never spoke before, updated background assets, revised battle system, new end cutscene, quality of life updates like being able to sprint etc. It really blurred the lines between a remaster and a remake, at a glance one could easily mistaken it for FF7 Remake which is a huge compliment since the original is a PSP exclusive game lol.

Regarding expectations for high priced products, it should be noted that a similar issue is very much present in the headphones space as well where manufacturers expect the users to do their work for them. As an example, Audeze expects us, the users to completely tune the headphones (LCD i4 in this case - $$) to make them sound as good as their price commands. It is ridiculous.

We need Dead rising 1 retrospective. that game was so next gen on 360, I couldn't believe it. The animations are still amazing today

What do your normal eyes see, Legolex?

Good Weekly. Alex does know his stuff.. look forward to his video on FSR.

Wow I am blown away from how intelligent you are. And what you all see that some of us don’t thank you for all you guys do … you’re all so gentle and respectful in your approach. Thank you

FF 14 engine upgrades episode soon? 😊

Regarding an Elden Ring viewer statement (Q1): Apologists are just the worst. Takeaway: People exist who believe that because something costs a lot of money, it's okay if it doesn't work right. Connect your own dots. If you're unable to do so... Outrageous follow-up: If a new car is released and 50% of them blow up upon starting, it's okay. They cost a lot to make. Do you know how much money and time it would take to correct these engineering issues? Terms of the day: False Equivalency and Broken Logic. Paraphrasing moment: "Change how you do all of your reviews. The way you review is wrong. It doesn't coincide with my perspective. Fix that. Oh... and thanks for all of your reviews."

I played the PS4 Pro version of Elden Ring on PS5 on a LG G3 65” TV and OMG it looks and runs amazing!. I only notice the low grass density when playing which wasn’t a deal breaker. I suppose the PS5 Pro will run the PS5 version with no issues. At least there’s an option. Still, kind of ridiculous on FROM SOFTWARE’s part. OPTIMIZE MF!!! Lol

The question about getting too technical in reviews is literally your guys' niche when in comes to reviews, for the love of goodness keep deep diving all the technicals of every review! Keep up the good work!

I've tested a lot of FSR3.1 and the only major improvement of the upscaler is that the low quality presets (performance/ultraperf) look substantially better than before. Not great but much better. The higher quality presets still have the same issues as before, primarily the disoclussion during rapid movement. In Ghost of Tsushima fast sword movements or fire effect or particles all have that FSR disoclussion, except now it's a bit less pixelated and more smeary. In Horizon it's still pixelated and the water looks bad. In Ratchet & Clank there's a lot of aliasing with 3.1 that wasn't there before, like Clank on Ratchet's back will have very obvious jagged edges even on the quality setting. So the strength of the upscaler's quality/balanced setting hasn't changed too much since 2.1, still looks good and sharp when everything is still but starts having distracting issues once you get moving. I can't say the shimmer is better because in some cases FSR3.1 is less shimmery than before, but in some cases it's more shimmery.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="71">1:11</a>:21 The face of a man who just heard the dumbest comment ever. It's comical how fast people turn into subervient drones the minute a company makes something they even remotely enjoyed.

MSAA is alive and well in Forward rendered mobile and VR games!

The biggest problem with Forza is actually the Lego DLC being removed yet theyre still selling the Ultimate edition. I bought that the second the delisting was announced and was shocked it's just not there - without any mention of it. So dirty.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="74">1:14</a>:27 Excellent response Alex, BRAVO!!!

Issue is most reviewers have no standards and are like: Ran at a mostly smooth 60fps on a 4090 at 1440p ultra performance mode great port! Obviously ignoring the fact that is 100% unacceptable performance. A 4090 is a 4k native MAX 70-80fps card

Unfortunately for forza and similar games from microsoft, yes the older games can be played 'offline' cracked but the latest ones just require constant online connection which one day they will pull the plug and it would be gone forever ... like the ubisoft games

John’s intro was hilarious! A great start to the week!

That viewer question about Elden ring is completely out of line. The game is NOT FUN when it has such technical issues like constant stuttering! We need this pointed out more often and harsh as possible.

John not considering an Xbox purchase of a third party game and biting him in the ass is well deserved 😛 Wasn't completely perfect, but with VRR was rarely ever aess, like momentarily in the main town etc. Didn't expect to play that game for hindrends of hours.. GOTY contender for me. Best open world game I've played this year and happens to be a great RPG as well. Loved it.

The logic of "X industry is struggling so lets lower our expectations" is so hilarious to me. Like, if the dollar for each consumer is getting stretched thinner then they are going to be more picky about where they spend their money. Being dishonestly "nice" to a developer doesn't do anything besides stroke their egos. If there is fair criticism, it should be levied, for the benefit of all involved.

John in VR was hilarious

Oh god the from software fanboys getting their feelings hurt over a technical analysis is so cringe 😂🤦🏽‍♂️

Strange that FSR has such a large defense brigade who won't allow zooming in. Like...why?

Forza Horizon 5 has MSAA!

"I'm having trouble getting that legacy recording off a hard drive"... Y'all it's finally time to break down and make sure each member of the team has their own dedicated NAS.

FSR3.1 looks disappointing...

I miss Audi's jokes in those Directs:(

I definitely want DF whisky glasses, let’s do it

I remember having this 50Hz camera update issue as well. Since it was dependent on following objects that were updated by physics, we actually rewrote the update system for all those objects by doing the physics calculations both in physics update, as well as in the variable update, and then update the camera after both. Really suboptimal, but luckily we did all of our own physics calculations anyway.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="69">1:09</a>:53 is easily the most stupid question i've seen in this channel.
