Goddamn that's insanely great numbers, good on them!

Has anyone tried to use Unreal Engine 5, strip it from Lumen/Nanite/TAA/DLSS and force static lighting? I can't imagine the overhead being significant?

The part of Jason Schreier's new Blizzard book where the new CFO who was used to selling soap and diapers was basically like "why can't we just open more foreign factories to make games faster???????" They don't see games as creative endeavors like films, only as PRODUCT.

Looks like a relatively grounded sci-fi stylistically, interesting 👌

People have too inflated sense of what it means to "ask an AI" about something. The AI are language models trained basically by imitation on data from human labelers. Instead of the mysticism of "asking an AI", think of it more as "asking the average data labeler" on the

Nintendo is going to explore making games with shorter development cycles to counter rising development costs 🎮 They're also investing in their development teams to preserve the way they've traditionally made games

If that's not the pinnacle of endorsements 😍 Don't hesitate to send me a DM if you need more deets, I'd love to do a follow up video on more art/design-oriented optimization tips!

Most devs are putting the improved performance to visual improvements. Wasting 10x faster hardware to visual improvements was great for a while: PS1->PS2->PS3. PS4 already shows diminishing returns and PS5 even more. Should we spend the cycles elsewhere?

Minh Do Everyone overestimates what will happen in the next 3 months and wildly underestimate what will happen in the next 3 years.

AAA need to stop optimizing for high end. Mass-audience gamers need 60fps stable at 1080p on a 3060. However, the 1080TI is nearly 9 years old and doesn't even support DirectX12... Does it really fit on the right of this graph?!

This is quite disingenuous, you can achieve the same result with no extra verts using vertex painting. If your two top verts are black and the lower ones white, it'll create a gradient that, multiplied with noise, looks exactly like that.

I'd wager those squares are all in one single mesh with vertex animation, it's how we did it at Ubisoft. To reproduce this effect in UE5: spawn a flat plane for each light with a Blutility, merge them into one mesh with Modeling tool, add the shader - voilà!
