It can't be that painful, the memory configuration is similar to a RX 6600. I think devs should have the mindset that these consoles have bucked the trend and stop blaming the hardware. It's really pathetic that Gotham Knights can't run at a locked 60 on PC with similar specs due to it being shit code
That's the wrong way of looking at it. Game and graphics share the same memory so if a developer uses 8GB, like available on an RX 6600, then there no room for the game. So what is a reasonable amount of RAM a modern game would use? Subtract that from the ~8GB and that's the amount left for VRAM. Or the other way around, what is a reasonable amount of VRAM? Substract that from 8 and that's what's left for the game to run in.

I'm not defending gotham knights here, I don't care about that piece of shit.
 
btw there is a Hokuto no Ken license game coming on Switch under the franchise of Fit Boxing, releasing this December 22nd in Japan with a March 2023 date worldwide.
https://youtube.com/watch?v=m14iiyVRMwcThe concept looks silly enough that I might get it just for the fun.
Also the japanese sub-title has "You're already thin" (omae wa mou yaseteiru) but it's been left absent in the western localization for some reason
That series actually got published by Nintendo at one point because they wanted an exercise game for Christmas but didn't have any of their own. It sold over a million units that release...

Yea, didn't think of it like that. But would using a API that allows for memory management alleviate that? I would think that using those APIs plus techniques or features from the engine would help as well
 
You're welcome to try, though I don't know if there's much to say other than "free games guyz!!!!!!!!". Which I'd agree with, thanks to the Legendary client, which lets you install and launch all those free games without ever touching Epic's launcher. As long as you're okay with doing everything from a CLI.


I actually really liked that controller, and wanted to get one a few weeks after it came out. Turned out, it really was a no-joke limited edition, and nobody had stock of it, nor even a used one afterwards. I even went into a Gamestop and asked about it, and one employee even fuckin' talked to me like I'm an idiot, saying something like "That was a limited edition from months ago, you're not gonna find it anywhere :smug:". And then I looked around, and saw countless used games with "Day One Edition" emblazoned across their boxes, looked back at him, and said "Uh, yeah, you're right".

I guess racing fans are the types to not buy other kinds of games, but stay super dedicated to their genre, and buy fancy controllers and steering wheels and all sorts of stuff for their favorite games. So they buy controllers like that in droves, leaving casuals with gaudy taste like myself wondering where they went.

PS5 controller colors are boring and lame. Look at this ugly bastard:

That's "Nova Pink". Compare that to the lovely pink Dualshock 3:

And it's like, no contest. The PS3 pink controller is an actual girly pink, and the PS5 controller is like, tranny pink. They'll insist it's pink and try to cancel you if you say it's not, even though it's clearly a disgusting kind of pink-purple-something. It's not pretty, it's the color of Benadryl!
PS5 anything is ugly, gaudy shit. Stuff that would look okay in one type of living room but entirely out of place in anyone else's. I've never really been a fan of Playstation style (PS4 controller is good, PS2 slim is okay, but its all downhill from there) but this is by far the worst its ever been. Absolute monstrosity console, equally ugly controller.

It's an abstract piece of technology.

Look how bulky it looks laying down.

At least the first generation PS3 looks modern. Especially with the glossy tint.

Yeah, I went on some rants when it was new about how ugly it is. It looks like a robot's vagina. The all digital version is at least symmetrical, but the regular disc version looks all unbalanced where the disc drive is. Like, come on, guys.

The PS2 slim's one of my favorite looking consoles of all time by virtue of just how slim it really is. It's the size of two DVD cases.
 
Sony fanboy's have been giving Sophia Narwitz shit because she called GoW: Ragnarok "Meh."

She didn't even call it bad, just disappointing and the snoys took it as a personal attack. I swear they're literally incapable of comprehending any opinion on their walking sims that isn't "This is a 10/10 MASTAHPIECE that literally changed the way I look at games!"

She's made a bunch of tweets about the game but this specific one is the one that got the most attention. (Archive)

Behead those who insult GoW of Us Part II. Peace be upon Sony.

Sony fanboys are all soyboys with daddy issues, so of course they get mad if someone doesn't proclaim the game as the greatest thing ever.

To them, you're basically saying their father sucks dick.

You know you fucked up when a Microsoft console is better looking than your own. I don't know what Sony was smoking when they designed the PS5 or their new controller, they both look like they belong in a 'PS4 and Xbox 720' youtube video from 2009. The only positive I can give them is the changeable plates on the console. I really liked those on the 360.

Since most of their games seem to already be one Sony should just get it out of their system and make a fucking Rock Climbing/Hiking Simulator.
 
I never even liked a single God of War game, lol. Kratos is a terrible character and David Jaffe's a hack.

Completely agreed, though I get the sense that the PS5 controller has, like, superhero aesthetics in its design language. I can't put my finger on why. The two-tone presentation sure is fugly, too:

The black one looks a lot better:

Though the PS4 controller is easily the best PlayStation controller (even if the battery life is atrocious):

Holy shit, superhero aesthetic is the perfect way to describe the base DualSense controller. I can't unsee it now. I agree that the black version looks much better in terms of color palette but I actually do like the translucent look that the vanilla controller has for the d-pad and face buttons. I only kinda miss the colors from the face buttons.

...at the cost of eating your discs though aside from that there is something oddly satisfying about inserting the disc into the slim that you don't get with the fat ( probably due to the mechanical disc tray making it feel like a dvd player than a game console ) it feels like the modern equivalent of inserting a cartridge

If it wasn't for the useless wagglan' pad on the PS4 controller i'd agree, can't even think of a single game i played that made use of it apart from being an extra button. I'd also say the Xbox pad analog stick placement (so, left stick above d-pad) feels more natural to me than the DS placement. The pad that most surprised me was the GC pad, i went from "did an actual retard design the layout?" to "boy, this sure is nice" in double-quick time. For Snoy, nothing beats the good old PS2 pad.

Hard agree but i can see its appeal for the normie crowd.

I enjoyed the first three as dumb action pieces. They're at least relatively fun to play in that they aren't walking simulators like the new games are.

Look wise I agree but having used them all have to say the PS5 controller is a joy to use and a big upgrade over the past ones. Only issue with it is stick drift which is also a issues with the ps4 controller and xbox/switch ones as well.

Hope Nintendo loses that stick drift lawsuit when that ever happens, and it forces the rest of them to not cheap out on that part anymore.

It's an abstract piece of technology.

OG PS3 has my favorite look of any console, the slim wasn't bad but the super slim they did maybe the worst design of any sony console

PS5 design has kind of grown on me, not to the point of liking it but to the point I no longer hate it.
