That and the game can flag frames that are too different (camera cuts) to mitigate this problem.
What the game supplies is the current frame + motion vectors, but the framegen bits take over how the frames are displayed onscreen. This is where the extra latency comes from, at worst you are seeing one true frame behind what the game is rendering, while the presentation layer generates the intermediate frame(s).
That is not strictly true, the actual latency increase is half the original frame rate. Because the input is not just the frame image but also the motion vectors (in which direction the pixel moved) for the current frame. Frame gen also knows a lot about the image, like which bits have transparent pixels (which move in multiple directions at once) and when the game is done with the frame yet still has to wait for the GPU (time which can be used for more work with little impact).
Frame gen is much more involved than the old “motion smoothing” of televisions, the so called “soap opera” mode, which did increase the latency much more and had no knowledge of how the source image was built, so processing was much more involved.
Stuff like DLSS5 is supposed to use the same inputs (source images and motion vectors), now that is magic to me.
Same here. I did it the hard way with a modchip but these days it’s all software. It lived as a media player for a long time. I eventually replaced it with a PC running Windows Media Center, that was nowhere near as good…
Same here, this exact conversation happened.
In every meeting where feedback is requested since then, there is a permanent note that says “please no questions about RTO”.
Now that’s something I didn’t think of: Prey in VR. 🤔
I’ll have to give that a go!
Such an amazing game! The atmosphere is excellent, loved every minute. My wife and I still reference it to this day (random mimic jokes).
Truly saddened that the studio responsible for it was closed, it clearly was one of the good ones.
That same exec vibe-coded the automatic captioning toggle for “foreign” languages. This time there is a checkbox on your account, but it doesn’t work. 😞
I didn’t realize EyeSight had different versions, on the Solterra it looks like it is indeed LIDAR.
My Crosstrek has the older dual camera setup for depth perception, it would not be fooled by a picture of a road on a wall… I’m surprised the Teslas are.
It is exactly my case, as HomeKit by itself is way too limited for automations.
All of my HomeKit devices are actually exposed through HomeBridge, so I can still use HomeKit stuff if needed, and devices that do not support HomeKit can still be added to HomeKit.
My current challenge is on the Smart Dashboard side, I don’t really want to buy a Google Pixel Tablet for this, and the Nest Hubs I have don’t really integrate with HomeAssistant except through Google cloud services.
HomeKit dashboard is fine but too basic.
I need to hunt down HZD out of storage, looks like the disc must be in the drive to get the upgrade pricing for the remaster.
No fast travel, now that is some dedication :) I know it usually pays off to walk everywhere especially in the beginning (at the very least you pick up resources that you’ll need anyway), but sometimes I just don’t want to.
Hey! I wanted to tell you that I came back to HFW after all due to your comment. I had logged 48 hours on it before I left, but was only 30% complete according to the PS5 dashboard.
I found that I liked the atmosphere, but it is definitely a slow game most of the time. So much filler dialogue between characters, puzzles are instantly spoiled by Aloy talking to herself way too soon before you’ve had a chance to work through them (God of War Ragnarok is also guilty of this).
And then there is the fact that Aloy will constantly put her life at risk at the slightest opportunity given by a stranger, even though story-wise she is literally the only one who can fix the Earth.
That being said I play the game in a particular way, I go through all missions (main or side) in the order of their level, and I tend to prefer the stealth approach to most fights. So this does slow down the game quite a bit. I think I am halfway through?
The overall vibe is really nice though, I might make it to the end this time. I’ve even put Burning Shores on my wish list!
Cheers!
I loved HZD so much on PS4, it is a great world, really good sci-fi story and awesome character progression. It feels so good to easily take down machines that you struggle with at the beginning, it never gets old to tear off parts and weapons to use against them. The DLC for it was a great addition.
Needless to say I jumped into Horizon Forbidden West as soon as it was released, and it did not live up to my expectations! The second go around everything feels so forced, I gave up midway through.
Solid recommendations throughout this thread…
I was being a bit facetious, thanks for the corrections and insight. Cheers!
They became a poster child for why you should never “start over from scratch” even if your current codebase is awful. Because when you do that your competitors keep going, then they have years on your now stale product. Netscape lost all on their own…
Also: selling a browser? Man, the 90’s where wild.
Same for me, though I did splurge a bit ($150 I think) to get the game on a USB key shaped like one of the starships in the game. I will never get that USB key…
If they ever get done I will consider spending more time with it, I don’t really care for early access into an unfinished game.
I should have asked for a refund when we had the chance…
Yeah it was not a surprise, and I understand someone has to pay for the bandwidth those features use up. But I still resent them for making remote start app-only.
I am otherwise happy with the car itself, but this does leave kind of a sour aftertaste. I feel like it’s only going to get worse with my next car…
Subaru does the same thing, on my car it was free for three years then you pay or lose all connected features. That includes remote start, there is no way to start the car from the keyfob.
I wish they weren’t so expensive though.
IMO the biggest incentive of all is that the battery exists for the life of the vehicle and can be recycled at the end (the lithium inside does not disappear!), vs the gas which is literally burning money away.
