I feel like they'd make more money if they targeted lower end machines. My friend has a potato laptop and would enjoy borderlands, so they're out of luck. They're not going to spend any money on a new gaming toy because it's not that big a hobby for them. I imagine there are many such people.
I'm not doing anything that chat GPT can't do
for real though why don't more companies license idTech
hmmm, that kind of statement makes me long for my ol' eyepatch
Lol. I bet he has no idea how many people actually can do that
@inclementimmigrant borderlands 4 running like dogshit on a 5090 is going to make me crash out in the most legendary way
No
Is he wearing a barong Tagalog?
I think so too
Bai!
Seems fine in performance mode on PS5. Windows users having trouble?
It’s funny given they use unreal.
I run a 7800X3D on and X870 mobo, 64gb ram and an RTX3090, and couldn't run it at my native 7680x2160 resolution and have a playable framerate. It was fine at 3840x1080, but randomly crashed to desktop (at 1/4 my normal resolution, that I can even play Star Citizen at.)
I refunded it after 3 hours. This was before Randy's ridiculous response to the criticism. I was planning on buying again later when it's fixed, but now I'm not so sure. The man is his own worst enemy.
He's a bell end. He's always been a bell end. I had the dubious pleasure of meeting him when I was working as a games press outfit's tech monkey over a decade ago at Gamescom in Cologne.
Every other word out of his mouth was a business buzzword, he's smarmy and smug, my skin crawled the whole time he was present.
It looks like he's as high on his own farts now as he was back then.
Obligatory dril tweet about how you never "Gotta hand it to them"
But yeah. It is infuriating how often people just spew nonsense about "it is Unreal so it runs like shit" just like it was when "It is Unity so it runs like shit" and so forth. I very much do not think people need to "code (their) own engine" to understand things but... it would be a good idea to to do some basic research on the topic.
I can't speak for blands 4 specifiaclly. But with a lot of these games? People don't realize that the game is very much being optimized with upscaling and even framegen in mind. You can say you hate that if you want to. But these studios aren't targeting 120 FPS at 4k. They are targeting 120 FPS at 2k or even 60 FPS at 2k. In large part because... there still isn't a lot of value in actually targeting 4k on any console or even most PCs. So it gives them more or less a "single" target. And some techniques don't scale anywhere near as well (also 2k to 4k is not linear).
It is just that people grew up in the golden age where everything was targeting a PS4 and kind of has been for almost a decade at this point. So the idea of futzing with your graphics settings and checking the different AA (now upscaling) models is kind of anathema to a lot of users. And consoles STILL try to hide all of that.
