Once again overwatch is watering down gameplay. This change can be boiled down to automating player choice to lower the skill ceiling while pushing the skill floor so you can touch both without moving.

I’m in total agreement. They had already been picking away at what made her interesting, but the change to the Translocator really just kills my interest in playing her much. Maybe it’ll feel better than I imagine, but she may have just dropped from my choice pool.

Haven't played OW (or OW2) in a few years, but this sounds like shit (par for the course I guess).

I’ve already established that 1080p30 is not “fine” by 2023 standards. Any game releasing at 1080p30 on PS5/XSX/PC in 2023 will be deservedly lambasted because that’s far below modern technical standards and is extra absurd when these are ports of games that were released over 20 years ago.

I’m confused as to why you think that Konami selling an emulated version of a PSX game is somehow a good thing. It’s the very definition of “half-assed cash grab.” The fact (if it is indeed a fact) that they’re just emulating MGS1 PSX is the entire problem.

So to be clear, you’re stating that games don’t need to have scalable resolutions, framerates, etc? You’re aware that it’s 2023, right? These games are coming out on PC. PC games need scalable resolutions and framerates. 1080p30 is not acceptable for a PC game in 2023, which is why pretty much every developer makes…

just a little upscaling would have gone a long way. i think their statement is misleading and the game will render with a normal internal resolution. but look how good it can look with just some upscaling!

So you’d be fine with a remastered version of the Uncharted games with Drake looking like Tom Holland?

It’s a REMASTER.  They can re do the whole damn game in 60fps.  Not impossible by any means.  Just a lot of time and money.  

Like, theres no reason they couldn’t just do the improved tech with the old face

Sounds perfect for the 23 year old in 2023. Have you met a modern gen z adult? They don’t exactly look like they just clocked out from the coal mine. One minor benefit of all that child labor and tobacco regulation we put in place that republicans are trying to dismantle.

You’re kind of ignoring the fact that modern games struggle to run at native 4K because they also have many other demands on the GPU. A game released in 1998 is not going to have those same demands. Hell, a phone could run MGS1 at 4k60.

Sigh. Am I really going to have explain why framerate is more important in an interactive medium where users provide timing-sensitive inputs?

Those remasters came out 12 years ago. The product we’re discussing is coming out in 2023. 1080p is not standard resolution for videogames in 2023, particularly for ports of games that came out over a decade ago (two decades if we’re counting the original versions).

There are numerous mods for FF7PC that make the battles 60FPS and it looks and works great.

All other things aside with how unimpressive this already is, but why is MGS2 running at 30 on the Switch ever? It was 60 FPS on the Playstation 2, there’s no reason the handheld Switch version should be operating at 30, let alone the docked mode.

FucKonami!

I will give you the framerate. Even today it’s not incredibly uncommon to see games that tie logic to framerate (RE2 Knife), and back then it was even more common. It can be a lot of work to undo that. The resolution thing is horseshit though. Sprites are not 3D,and Emulators have been running these games at 4K for…

Konami really should have hired Nightdive to do a proper remaster of these games.

It’s a remaster....they can code in 60fps without doubling the game speed.  The issue is that it’s not the 90's and early aughts and we’ve been able to run faster than a jittery mess for fucking DECADES now.  

Nope. I’ll emulate them and not give them a dime. This shit is sooooooooo unacceptable in 2023. 4K is new 1080P, and 30fps feels like a mess. This is ignorant developers stuck in time when computing power could not give any better than 30fps.

This shit needs to stop. Even consoles nowadays are capable of better. Stop…
