@dillzilla11 @Polythane I mean, it depends on your requirements as a developer. If you’re making something unoriginal, iterative or <AA budget then sure But boundary pushing games (like Rockstar w/RAGE) and borderline ecosystems (like Call of Duty) require a mostly custom stack

@reece_us @Polythane Because they are. If your goal is to make a game, making your own game engine makes little sense.

Cyberpunk is a fuck up, in every singular regard. But what they had right was the engine, itself. Why the fuck did they drop it. Actually imbicils

@akshen121 incredible save

Students who got Google AI pro free for One year. It's time to cancel the Autopay😃

@krispy1337 All I hear about is the metaverse, creator economy and networking improvements. Where are these mystical overhead improvements optimizations and who is the source? Every iteration of UE5 has had these and it still hasn't stopped devs from misusing expensive tools

@reece_us UE6 is literally focusing on improving the multithreading, reducing overhead and such, check out the UE6 news cuz you seem to be outdated

Hardware is just now catching up to be able to use flagship UE5 tools. Lumen and Nanite still run like garbage on most systems, and here comes UE6 😂😂

@Septic_Sauce i think it’s not super likely but wouldn’t rule it out. dumb decision and has never ended up working for other publishers

Do you think Xbox will ever ditch Steam?

@GeovaniBeltrn 4th is a major sneak

Forza 6 está en el techo gráfico del fotorealismo.

@JezCorden @MizoChris If they did this I'd just go back to cheesing game pass when an Xbox game comes around that I wanna play. Only time I pay full price for an Xbox game nowadays is for Steam ownership and launcher integration

@MizoChris What if Microsoft left Steam all together? 🤔

Microsoft needs to leave Gaming Services in the past. I bought Forza Horizon 6 on Steam, Why should the game depend on Microsoft’s broken service layer just to launch? • Steam already handles ownership • Steam already handles updates • Steam already handles installs • Gaming Services only adds another failure point People are buying FH6 on Steam and still running into Gaming Services errors. That is absolutely unnecessary. Xbox games on Steam should only launch through Steam.

@Polythane Suits see game engines as an unnecessary anchor. Between games you have to upgrade your tech and tools, you need a core support team, docs, training regime for new employees … Why eat that cost when you can just outsource

@Polythane They don’t care. Like many devs nowadays, Unreal is an easy crutch and excuse to not retain talent that are trained and knowledgeable on proprietary tech. It’s why much of Microsoft, including even Halo is going to UE.

Good to see the Mr T Lexify priv account is going well. And Lex, I know you'll see this because you search your own name

Bonne de douche. Le bosh

@reece_us i flinched when million dollar baby came on dude

genuinely bought forza just to drive around for hours i don't even do the races anymore

@realityuk @6thiagoat it’s a bank holiday let’s not be hasty

@6thiagoat weeds fine but 11am is diabolical work

Ahh yes the sweet smell of weed in the air at 11am, imagine being that sad 😭

@Beyondsimplify Yeah people are putting this down because it can't compete with a budget option from a few years ago, but it will soon creep up on us just like those car manufacturers.

This card cannot beat a 3 year old NVIDIA card in a straight race as of today. In Cyberpunk it pushed 88 frames a second the Nvidia card pushed 232. But they designed the whole thing themselves and just like BYD and Mobiles this too will end up dominating the market soon.

@scryocat The Spotify mod is insane because it fixes one of the key problems I’ve had with the games since 2018. Whoever curates the licensed music at Playground needs to be carted out and they need to drag DJ Rob Da Bank back in from 1 and 2

@reece_us i downloaded that spotify mod too so i've just got my playlists going as well and it feels great i didn't even realise it was almost 4am when i tweeted this

The vibes in Forza Horizon 6 are captivating in a way that was missing from 4 and 5

@zeitgeistCL @Eltomex56 well, the chinese come hard and fast, my friend. maybe we will be eating our words soon its certainly a large undertaking to develop an entire new series of discrete graphics hardware (just look at intel) but.. china has some unique advantages and head starts

@Eltomex56 Y cuantos años tardará en ser estable tener un buen driver , compatibilidad con los sistemas operativos ,etc , era claro que China lo iba a intentar pero seguro habrá que esperar años a que una serie de cosas sean de una calidad probada

Los chinos consiguieron el rendimiento de una RTX 3070 Pero por $400 USD

Kind of magical how this simple song is one of the best things ever

@SynthPotato my last day is this coming friday, got my dissertation inspection 🥲🥲 good luck with your final weeks!

Just a few weeks until I graduate from Aerospace Engineering, just got my thesis left and then I am finally FREE (and a rocket scientist)😭
