Epic's boosting the fuck out of it
They trot out the same tech, year after year
repackage it as "new"
and everyone spills their spaghetti over it
this year, HDR is their big focus
which is just a fucking filter you can mask all light sources with
The same way you could colour-shift it before
but now it's """new"""
and only compatible with monitors which consumers won't be buying for 5+ years
hot take
lighting matters in <10% of games
the majority of games would benefit from not trying to get fancy with moving light sources, and light the scene like you would in a movie, with a fixed source
if your game has to have a day/night cycle
then fine
but you're still better off lighting the scene statically
and faking the shadows
and this is coming from someone who already spends an obscene amount on computers, and doesn't need to care about the performance impact of anything
Discord says 6 minutes
on the official make-up day
like... what happened every year
Dolf is an apex-reditor
Gent's one of the few people here who I'm confident is straight
Leg's the second
I feel like Rusp would have trouble saying no
which knocks him down a few spots
