What could possible improvements be? Higher resolutions? Larger displays? Higher refresh rates? Sharper picture with higher refresh rates? Greater contrast?
I've used a couple LaCie CRT's that have modes which seemed to push the contrast higher than other CRT's I've had do and to me the...
With the right people there could be improvements, two decades is quite awhile, and fresh minds thinking about how to expand and enhance old tech could yield something worthwhile, but it would take a major investment.
DK:Bananza looks like the only game worth buying to me so far. Mario Kart looks and feels like it's MK8 recycled, not a decades long update. As something someone else pointed out, re-releasing major titles seems a bit of a money grab, they don't look much better to my eye and if the system is...
$500 for the new Mario Kart? Hmmmm, the drive everywhere seems like a stupid thing to tout as a feature for the game, who cares? $80 for the game by itself? Does this mean other first party games are going to be a major gouge too? The Mario Kart formula hasn't changed really ever, as...
I disliked Windows 11 so much I switched back to Windows 7 for a retro system as my daily driver. I didn't particularly care for Windows 10 either, something about adopting it at work before I had upgraded at home kind of ruined it for me. I always feel like I'm following the job every time...
I bought a Pixel 7 and tried to keep it stock, switched back to my rooted Pixel 3 XL, then recently decided to just use my landline and flip phone for calls and texting. So, I've got two mini-tablet pixels and a Nexus 7 for any sort of mobile computing needs, which tends to be almost nothing...
Social media and AI are completely ruining how people think. Externalizing what makes us human is extremely BAD. Yes, it can help solve problems, but we're given things that try to act like a person inside the machine, that part of AI is terrible and should be limited. Build it for deep...
I'm satisfied with good enough. The skyrocketing prices from the 30xx series on weighed heavily on settling for a system that doesn't necessarily provide as many frames as possible, but provides a playable experience without needing to upgrade every few years. The game market is over saturated...
Getting into double digit rounds feels so nice. I get to where I know the next blind is going to destroy me and just let the game sit for a few days before I spoil it.
I agree this type of tech is very, very anti-social and people just don't like putting hardware on their face, something about it feels uncomfortable and detached from normal existence
So you're saying everyone's being forced to shell out a shitload of extra money so cushy game developers can have an easier time at their already easy life?
Raster will always be primary. RT feels to me like a fading trend. Being the first noticeable visual upgrade in some years, they grabbed hold of it and ran with a single feature that requires extra hardware to do. It doesn't look like it will keep scaling upward and as I've said before, it...
I can't believe I'm saying this, but if you google/craigslist you can find people/services that you can simply pay to wait in line and have you swoop in to take the spot right when you need to.
The idea of frame gen sounds like all the extra crap that's thrown into social media feeds that is a guess at what we're looking for, but with the finite realm of a game.
