Doesn't Nvidia have a much larger presence in the gaming world? Enough so that's it's WAY more than a few customers.Blackhawk wrote: Tue Jun 27, 2023 5:54 pm
If AMD mandated that they only support AMD features for sponsorship? Well, if they can make money by pissing off a few customers that will still buy the game? They'll jump all over it.
From what I've read, AMD's FSR2 upscaling is supported on Nvidia hardware whereas Nvidia's DLSS2 upscaling is only supported on Nvidia hardware, so getting paid to partner with AMD and only provide FSR2 support in the game doesn't mean that people with Nvidia cards are completely SOL, it just means that they are required to use FSR2 instead of DLSS2, even if DLSS2 would look/perform better, until some modder patches in unofficial DLSS2 support.Punisher wrote: Tue Jun 27, 2023 6:46 pmDoesn't Nvidia have a much larger presence in the gaming world?

I don't mind that. I do mind when people say lol when they could simply... laugh.Blackhawk wrote: Tue Jun 27, 2023 6:49 pm And I see that 'lol' is in the Oxford English Dictionary now, too.

You’re literally enraged by that very slight shift (if that) in meaning of a colloquialism?Max Peck wrote: Tue Jun 27, 2023 5:37 pm I wonder if there is some way to enrage the majority of PC gamers who are champing at the bit to play Starfield? Let's find out...
Starfield partners with AMD and oh boy, the internet is not happyPersonally, I'm just enraged that PC Gamer has an editor that allows a writer to use "begs the question" when they actually mean "invites the question" although that phrase has probably gone the way of "literally" by now.AMD has today announced a partnership with Bethesda and Starfield, arguably the most anticipated game of both 2022 and now 2023. And, in all honesty, it's not great timing for the red team considering it's been taking a lot of heat recently for its perceived blocking of rival upscalers from its sponsored titles.
And therefore today's announcement begs the question as to whether this means there's no hope of DLSS being applied to Starfield outside of enterprising modders once the game releases.
The nixxing of rival implementations is an accusation AMD hasn’t actually denied, but has skirted the question when asked whether blocking the likes of DLSS and XeSS are functions of AMD sponsorship. For its part, Nvidia explicitly stated that it "does not, and will not block, restrict, discourage, or hinder developers from implementing competitor technologies in any way."
That is awesome!
I'm literally (in the classical sense) not enraged about it, and I've already explained that it was just a joke. It must be an egregiously bad joke if I have to explain that multiple times in a single thread. Or maybe you just tossed out a snarky remark about my snarky remark without bothering to read the rest of the thread.Carpet_pissr wrote: Wed Jun 28, 2023 3:38 pm You’re literally enraged by that very slight shift (if that) in meaning of a colloquialism?
Interesting. Given your anecdote, you may have a tendency to confuse colloquial speech with more formal definitions then. Or not realizing/accepting that they are different (although dictionaries usually do contains some colloquialisms).Max Peck wrote: Wed Jun 28, 2023 4:29 pmI'm literally (in the classical sense) not enraged about it, and I've already explained that it was just a joke.

<insert meme="¿Por qué no los dos?">
I'm curious, though, as to what you believe to be the original meaning of the phrase?
The OG definition means "to ignore a question or issue by assuming it has been answered or settled" and is considered to be a type of logical fallacy. The new-and-improved meaning is "to cause someone to ask a specified question as a reaction or response." That shift in meaning seems a bit more than "slight (if at all)" to me, but hey, what do I know? I'm just a dumb schmuck that can read a dictionary. I've literally (in the classical sense) been kicked off a message forum for being a dumb schmuck that can read a dictionary. It seems to be some sort of moral failing of mine, along with my propensity for sarcasm.
Meanwhile, back on topic, what about that Starfield game. Is it gonna be great or what?
CALLBACK!
They’ve been making some of the biggest and most well reviewed games for decades. Are they perfect? Of course not, but they’re hardly what I’d even remotely call a terrible company with lazy developers.Blackhawk wrote: Wed Jun 28, 2023 5:05 pm And I'm on the fence with Starfield. Great potential. Terrible company with lazy developers.
So am I. I'll absolutely be playing it. I've got two Bethesda games installed right now (New Vegas an FO76.) It will also be the first Bethesda game since Morrowind that I didn't preorder, and that I don't plan to get until I see the reception and reviews. I'm hoping that their Microsoft overlords will whip them into shape, as they really do have some ugly stuff in their reputation after the FO76 debacle, and I don't just mean the game. Still, the fact that I'll be playing it doesn't change my opinion of the company. I don't feel that 'lazy' is inappropriate, nor do I feel that 'terrible' is undeserved, not after the way they've treated their customers.hepcat wrote: Wed Jun 28, 2023 9:29 pm They’ve been making some of the biggest and most well reviewed games for decades.

p.s. let’s return in a year and see if you’re playing it. I’m about 99.9 percent certain you will have/will be.
While we wait for official word from either AMD or Bethesda on whether Starfield is going to be open to benefiting from DLSS support, professional modder, PureDark, has seemingly announced their intention to get it into the game before it's even fully released.
With AMD announcing its partnership with Bethesda for Starfield there has been quite the reaction from the gaming community over a perceived block on the developers adding in DLSS support for Nvidia users. The suggestion is that part of the partnership requires the exclusive use of AMD's own FidelityFX Super Resolution (FSR), blocking the likes of DLSS and Intel's XeSS from being added to partner games.
This is something AMD has avoided questioning about—and most recently when we've specifically asked for comment in the last day—so we still don't know whether that's definitely a thing or not. For its part Nvidia has recommended we ask the devs about DLSS, and we're still awaiting a response from Bethesda.
PureDark, however, has come out and explicitly stated that they'll have at least DLSS 3 support added during the pre-purchase reward early access period.
"Don't you worry, you've got me," they say, "I'll manage to get at least DLSS3 support in the Early Access 5 days, then slowly adding in an independent DLSS2 implementation depending on the situation (just like what I did with Jedi Survivor)."
You might remember PureDark from the various mods they've created for Skyrim, Elden Ring, The Last of Us, and Fallout 4, but it's arguably the Jedi: Survivor DLSS mod that garnered the most attention. By jamming DLSS 3 and Frame Generation support where it wasn't wanted, PureDark was able to hugely increase performance for anyone with supporting GPUs.

Honestly, it is that the developers consider consoles their primary market and the PC market as secondary. They design for the primary and then implement what's required for the secondary. A lot of the problems that people have had with the controls in every Bethesda game since Oblivion, right up through Fallout 76, is that Bethesda doesn't program PC controls. They program console controls, then map the keyboard to the controller inputs (IE - when you push 'W' to go forward, the game is being told that you're pushing on the stick. When you hit 'Tab' to go back, the game is being told it is the A button being pressed.Carpet_pissr wrote: Sun Jul 02, 2023 1:53 pm I guess my point is that I should really try using a controller again. I'm obviously missing something that the devs themselves see (and tons of if not most on here as well).

Was there anything ever said about pets? I don't recall any mention of it. If they did, it would likely be something cosmetic that stays on the ship.Daehawk wrote: Sun Jul 02, 2023 9:38 pm And where are dogs or pets? I saw nothing in that video. All that depth and detail and no pets??
