I don’t care much about RT but the reason they’ve decided to do RT implementation mandatory is quite good and revolutionary and I can’t wait to see it in action. Using RT for pixel perfect hitboxes? Sign me in!

“And now, it has been revealed that the game will use ray tracing (RT) not only to enhance visuals but also to offer key gameplay improvements, such as better hit detection and the ability to distinguish materials in a bid to make the game more immersive.”

Whether it’s 50% or 200% it’s pointless if the avg FPS can’t even reach the bare minimum of 30.

I dont mind that its old. It can still do its job just fine. Setting it up and preparing room and space for it is a pain though…

I’ve bought my Oculus Rift in like 2017 and haven’t used it at all for the last 3 years… And I missed nothing. I played the heck out of Beat Saber and HL: Alyx, Lone Echo and some few other games but nothing noteworthy has been released for a long time so I’m just patiently waiting.

Oh, I did play quite a bit of VRChat as well back then.

To be fair so far I had just positive experience when asking about issues here on Lemmy… Don’t know about other places though.

In my experience it’s both cheap shitty headset and expensive shitty headset. The arguments is always wireless + mic so people go and spend ridiculous money on something that can be done better with a cheap good headphones like the Koss + dedicated mic that may not be as convenient to use but will sound much better.

Still, good sound design may be enjoyed on a shitty headset, it’s just that good audio can add more to gameplay than just graphics. Like for example walking in the main HUB area in Starfield is like soul numbingly hilarious… it does not feel alive at all even when you see NPCs walking around all the time.

Sound design > Graphics

You just unzip it and run it

I’ve played Postal 2 extensively when I was 8y old and I only piss in peoples mouth at work. I don’t even remember when it was the last time I went shopping and burned some alive with a gasoline.

They could retype it but are busy complaining

I’d rather buy a cheeseburger

The issue is not that the games performance requirements at reasonable graphics settings is absolutely destroying modern HW. The issue is that once you set the game to low settings it still performs like shit while looking worse than a 10y old games

Have you tried increasing FOV?

If they don’t want me to buy them then why should I buy them now instead of borrowing them for free for unspecified amount of time from the Internet?

The game sucks because of the writing not because it runs on a different engine

I wish you were a cat too

I don’t remember ever being so unexcider about any GPU or CPU HW release for gaming.

New CPUs are hardly worth upgrading to from 5800X3D and my 2nd hand 6800 XT that I got 2y ago for €400 and overclocks like crazy (20% on air cooling) is still so damn good that new cards which match that lvl of performanve are still like €500-€600… So if 8000 series will actually be cheaper it may finally match my 6800 XT with €/performance… Wow! It only took several years!

Where? Workstations at best.
