@NikTek Not sure if it's related, but mortal kombat 11 on ue3 looks way better than mk1 on ue4. It's lighter, more optimized on lower spec devices, and has more content

LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight optimization doesn't make sense. Batman: Arkham Knight, was launched in 2015 and was developed on UE3, this game looked nothing short of incredible. The initial PC port was bad, primarily due to Rocksteady's fault for outsourcing it to a team of 12 people. But with later updates, Arkham Knight has aged like fine wine as it still looks just as beautiful today and you can even play it with little to no issues on low end hardware today. Fast forward to 2026, LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight launches in less than a month, albeit not developed by a different game studio, it is still being developed on Unreal Engine 5 and the system requirements which have just been released are a disaster. You would think that after all this time, the improvements in unreal engine itself and modern tech would allow developers to optimize their games much more efficiently, but it looks like the exact opposite is happening. If you have a low end GPU and want to run this game at 30FPS, the developer recommends you turn on frame-gen and set the upscaling mode to balanced. That's 16-17 base FPS which is then doubled with frame-gen and an internal resolution of 847p to achieve 30FPS, can you imagine how bad the resulting image, latency and overall experience would be? a 600$ GPU like the AMD RX 9070 XT cannot run this game at 60FPS native 4k if you don't turn on FSR set to quality and enable frame-gen. The worst part about all of this is that LEGO Batman doesn't even look visually more demanding than Arkham Knight, you would think that this game would be easy to run on low end hardware but not with a UE5 game, LEGO Batman is more demanding that Arkham Knight could ever be. There's something inherently wrong either with how Unreal Engine 5 handles open-world games or how developers are deliberately choosing to skip optimization altogether. I don't know if it is just me, but it truly feels like good optimization has been a lost art for most Unreal Engine titles.

@percfromdao @TheMKSource @ComicBook Ignorance is why wb is flirting with bankruptcy every year.

@PixelLsw @TheMKSource @ComicBook

Ed Boon revealed that Cole Young was almost a Kameo fighter in Mortal Kombat 1 but was scrapped because NRS had to move on to the next game.👀 (via @ComicBook) #MortalKombat1 #MK1 #MortalKombat #MKMovie #MK2Movie

@Dynasty1031 Each day i come to realize why John left midway 🤦‍♂️

Ed Boon confirms we almost got Cole Young as a "kameo fighter" in Mortal Kombat 1, but they ran out of time and had to begin working on their next game 👀 Full interview here via Comicbook - youtube.com/watch?v=_CvPmp… #MortalKombat🐉

@percfromdao @TheMKSource @ComicBook If it's the best, it would've outsold the previous games without dropping it's price. It would've gotten a kp3, and it would've won best fighting game at the game awards

@TheMKSource @ComicBook I gotta be the only person who thinks mk1 is the best one in the franchise it’s really fun hopefully next game gets the lifespan it deserves

@CoveredGeekly You ran out of time? Nah your shit got cancelled because it failed miserably

Ed Boon says NetherRealm Studios almost added Lewis Tan's Cole Young as a Kameo fighter in Mortal Kombat 1 "We ran out of time and had to start the next game" (via youtube.com/watch?v=_CvPmp…)

@NikTek Doesn't the steam machine support 3rd party controllers, either way $100 is still a great deal compared to Sony and xbox

> DualSense Edge costs $199 and comes with potentiometer-based analog sticks that are prone to stick drift (an analog module alone costs $19 when its time to replace them) > Xbox Elite Controller Series 2 is on sale and currently costs $157. It comes with the same type of analog sticks The Steam Controller comes with haptic dual trackpads and drift-resistant TMR magnetic joysticks, yet some people seem to call Steam crazy for pricing it at $99. I never expected this controller to cost anywhere near in the range of $60 to $70. Although $100 isn’t cheap, what you’re getting here is a controller that is going to last much longer than any of these other ones.

@Shitpost_2048 Dude got more purple studs than blue ones 😭

@KingJae Midways war gods

What’s the one dead fighting game series you would want to REVIVE into the MODERN ERA?

@Just_2swift @LudiFGC Ok dry? No Short? Yeah (approx. 8 seconds) Saucy? Absolutely

@PixelLsw @LudiFGC Short & dry combos huh #mk11

The MK11 top 8 stream at CB is gonna be more exciting than any tournament MK1 ever had btw just watch. For what a supposedly dry and boring game MK11 was, almost everyone I know can name like ten memorable MK11 sets before a couple MK1 sets...

@Spirit_2401 Hehe funny, you said top 🤣

Heartwarming: top player argues he should take a pay cut

@Poseidonssb1 @Cam234509 @Euphoring1 @DEZDA11 @Deathroww45 @SylvaireTTV Dezda was on point 🙌

Congrats to @Cam234509 for winning back to back MK11 tournaments, congrats to all of top 8 as well! If you missed the tourament or want to rewatch video is in the replies! 2. @Euphoring1 3. @DEZDA11 4. @Deathroww45 5. @Poseidonssb1 & @SylvaireTTV 7. Pool & Takuya

@Lapriz_ Thought you was PL for a sec

Player that thinks their character takes skill because they are low or mid tier

@Rooflemonger Oh what I'd give for an NRS marvel fighter 😭

Injustice(or otherwise DC fighter). MK needs a break right now after 2 back to back games and MK1's reception coulda been a lot better. DC in general is doing great now and more great stuff in the future. Just focus on DC for now while retooling MK to be where it needs to be.

@Shujinkydink Exciting to watch? Meh. Balanced? No way. Skill rewarding? Absolutely! No pay to win, no dlc, nothing. Kabal is not easy.

Not a single soul claimed this was balanced. It is a game that holds a lot of great memories for people who first found the NRS community however

@Never_Just_J Remembered for his evo wins? Lol no Remembered for the 13-0? Till the end of time 🤣

There’s only 1 man that can say some shit like this and mean it Perfect legend you will always ALWAYS be remembered Laughed at 10000% But at least you’re remembered

@_kenziestar_ You either die a hero, or live long enough to see yourself become a perfect legend

ok i am so well aware he's just engagement farming but i swear to god this said "4x world champion" like an hour ago and he changed it

The absolute worst FGC take 🤣 dude got the entire community like:

@Poseidonssb1 @shirairyutv Sorry, When 😅😅😅.... Last one was two weeks ago and I was hoping it'd drop Sunday night

@PixelLsw @shirairyutv You are wondering where the video is or when the next one is?

We are live! Come watch another SRS hosted by @Poseidonssb1 always a good time! twitch.tv/shirairyutv
