I don't get why so many people shit on Bethesda for this. It's a pretty clever way to do trains. There are 1000 other reasons to shit on Bethesda, but this isn't one.
>>317628349
>I don't get why so many people shit on Bethesda for this.
Are you fucking kidding me? Being so shit at programming that you need to resort to map-editor level hackjobs is pretty embarrasing
>>317628848
>hurr durr lets implement a whole new system that we would have to lengthen the costs and time for the game to come out just for one scene
You're fucking retarded. You only experience this once in the game, and it works just as intended. You don't even know it's like that until you load up the fucking thing in an external program.
>>317627909
>>317628349

>>317628848

>>317628848
>>317629050
>>317629104
>>317629198
from a programmer's point of view, that's actually a smart way of doing it, considering the shit engine and that they only use it once
>>317629340
Because working hard is associated with actual costs, unlike shitposting on a mongolian tapestry forum.
>>317626763

Non-Euclidean geometry is the absolute best. There's a video on YouTube of someone fucking around with it, like a door you can only enter from one direction, or a passageway that's three feet long but takes you to the other end of a massive room.

A man sees that a newspaper is having a pun contest. The rules are that you can write up to ten puns, send them in for free, and if any one of your puns are selected then you win a gift card. Thinking he's got a few good ones the man writes up the maximum allowable entries and submits them. The next week he opens up the paper to check the results page.
Alas,no pun in ten did.
>>317632137
It's just an animation that plays when it's hit by light. Notice how it's melting on the wrong side

In Portal 2 there's a special map entity that acts like an invisible portal of any size and lets you seamlessly link two areas together. They used it at least once in the base game, in an area where a large test chamber moves around and you have to enter it from under it.
>>317630695
That's pre-rendered. Not very impressive.
>>317637663

Technology thread. Here's a list of games with some technology:
>Half Life 2 (physics, high interactivity, gravity gun)
>Cryostatsis (water, ice and snow effects: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iHmcCVFhoTk)
>Metal Gear Solid series (lots of little touches, interactivity, funny stuff you can do)
>Starbreeze games (your character has a body and is a physical entity, not a floating gun, physics, high interactivity, dynamic lighting)
>Dark Messiah (again your character exists in the world, combat and physics)
>Crysis (destructibility, nanosuit, customization, lighting)
>Alone in the Dark (fire system, inventory, blinking, lots of interactivity)
>Max Payne games (lots of interactivity and physics)
>GTA IV/V (lots of interactivity and physics, lots of little touches and details)
>Call of Juarez (same as Dark Messiah)
>Trespasser (physics, being able to see your boobs)
>FEAR (details, particles, physics, slow-mo, seeing your body)
>Prey (lots of interactivity, portals)
>Hitman Blood Money (lots of interactivity and details)
>Flatout series/Next Car Game (car destruction)
>Red Faction series (destruction)
>Soldier of Fortune 2 (dismemberment and gore systems)
>Stranglehold (destruction)
>Wind Waker (http://www.polycount.com/forum/showthread.php?t=104415)
>Spintires (mud transforming, car physics)
>Overgrowth (colission, physics, fighting system)
>Metal Gear Solid Revengeance (choping shit up)
>>317630123

>>317619591
I don't remember being able to walk right through them like that.
>>317632883
>tfw playing FEAR for the first time these days and enjoying the shit out of it.
>>317638509
Making lists like this is fucking stupid and shows a completely misunderstanding of these threads. TECHNOLOGY isn't about "hey this game has decent physics" it's about a single moment or feature that's uncommon and surprising.
>>317638509
>Alone in the Dark
>blinking
This is still fucking retarded. It's fucking involuntary. The player playing the game is already blinking. SCP had better reason to have a blink button
>>317638509
>>317634515
You'd have to program a new object that deals with the train movement. At the end of the day it's pointless and takes up space, and extra loading for something that will never be seen again (another example is the baby in the beginning being just a small version of you).
It's efficient programming.
>>317638509
Crysis is legit some of the most fun shit ever once you learn to go fast. Shame that the game never challenges you to actually git gud.
>>317621286
they have the exact same glass physics in gta 5
FEAR MOTHERFUCKERS
>>317638728
>>317632883
FEAR barely had any TECHNOLOGY in it and you're stupid if you think it was the last one. There are examples after it already posted in this thread.
>>317638509
What a shitty webm. An actual good example from Cysis is how if you equip the laser pointer on a gun and shine it at a glass, bottle, or water jug, there's a simple fake refraction shader effect. It's not very realistic, but the fact that they even bothered is cool.
>>317635679

That wasn't the point. I was just saying that something like >>317638891 is so much more impressive to me than the webm I initially replied to, because it's not just an animation playing - it takes various variables into account as it creates the effect.
>>317639217
I tried to make non-euclidian mechanics in Unity and never got it to work properly.
>>317637368
>aiming_with_a_controller
>>317638339
>pre-rendered animation
lol, do you even know what pre-rendered means. The animation may be static and predetermined but it's still being rendered in real time, as is the lighting. Also, get off FEAR's dick. Cooler/better game != superior tech, Shadows Fall's lighting and shadowing is unquestionably more advanced.
TECHNOLOGY threads are great for pulling out the retards that don't know anything about tech.
>>317639417

>>317638327
Look at what's happening under the flashlight...
>>317639510
You see that sort of lighting in any game nowadays
>>317639510
You're right, I was being a retard. It's obviously real-time rendered. What I should have said is that it's just an animation, as opposed to a dynamic simulation of a melting object.
>>317639185
>1 dynamic melting
Metal Gear Solid 2
>>317639346
The fuck is up with the sound? Feels like satan just told me to kill my parents.
>>317639510
The melting can is about as impressive as setting up switches to kill a unit in the Starcraft editor regardless.
>>317639962
That's a simple animation too friend.
>>317639217
>Red Faction 4 improved the destruction by leaps and bounds
>but thanks to THQ, Red Faction and Geomod are dead
>>317639962
The "cubes closer melt slower" thing is just a myth, if that's what you mean. All the cubes melt at the same rate, but the bigger chunks disappear slower because they're bigger and it takes longer, duh. It has nothing to do with proximity to other cubes.
>>317639045
That makes me think
You know what would make a GREAT VR game?
40K: Guardsman
That way, even if there's no feedback, you can just say the gun is a laser and has no recoil.
I mean canonically, they added in fake recoil to the lasguns because soldiers were complaining, so you could say that the characters one broke.
I mean just imagine being part of a charge.
>>317639305
>>317639250
Except the tiles themselves don't look like they're reflecting that much light at all, at all.
>>317640176
>improved destruction
>90% of the game is indestrucable caves
Who's idea was that, anyways
The whole story was really fucking stupid
>>317638962
it's pretty much common sense to know that.
the game would have to run at like 500 FPS for it to work like that
>>317640103
You are right, but a lot of the things posted in TECHNOLOGY threads are not necessarily impressive simulations or technical achievement, just details you wouldn't expect them to bother with.
I mean the whole joke behind the TECHNOLOGY meme is that the wide-eyed player is attributing his surprise to games becoming more advanced without really knowing what's going on.
>>317633225
resistance had amazing water as well right?
>>317635679
This isn't technology, this shit has existed since particle tails during the PS1 days.
>>317638962
This. All that happens is that the game slows the falling rain particles, so the tail gets shorter.
>>317640436
The effect is exaggerated but having non-shiny tiles is perfectly acceptable and is actually a more natural way to show it. Indirect lighting is a real thing that happens, dude, turn off the lights and shine a flashlight at the wall of your room. My walls definitely aren't shiny but it still lights up the ceiling and floor quite a bit. Don't have any colored walls to prove the effect though.
>>317640464
Compare destruction from the two games in detail and tell me Armageddon's isn't better. In Guerrilla everything is kind of made out of big chunks, it doesn't form much rubble when it collapses, and props like rebar spawn in weird places where they shouldn't.
I don't know about the story, it was fucking death-knell THQ. They were trying desperately to make the next big thing.
>>317640436
The heck are you talking about. Things dont have to be shiny to reflect things. I dont know where you are going with this at all, at all.
>>317632789
What game is this?
>>317635679
i love this game despite whatever /v/ says
>>317640835
Obviously everything observable reflects light, but those tiles don't look like they're reflective enough to turn the area into a fucking nightclub.
>>317639217
Steambot Chronicles hd?
>>317639680
Its good tho tbqh
>>317635679
GTA V had better rain drops that even reflected light
>>317619326
this is some antichamber shit right here
>>317640820
No, it did have better destruction
But the game took place in 90% caves and it felt like a huge step backwards from guerilla.
The story is this
>terraformer gets fucked up by terrorists
>everyone has to go underground
>years later, martian bug things emerge because of mining or something
>we need to do something about this!
>go and fix the terraformer after a lot of bullshit
So everyone spent however many years undergound because the terraformer was broke, and then only after a ton of bullshit, do you go back to the terraformer and fix it, which takes all of ten seconds, which begs the question "Why didn't any of you fucking idiots just go fix the damn thing?"
>>317640545
It's details that aren't usually present in a wide array of games. Shooting out a window commonly has effects on the surrounding, it's about as impressive as hitting a pedestrian with a car in GTA and took little attention to detail to pull off.
Maybe if the barrels actually melted in relation to the light it would be impressive, but they don't even do that. The side farthest away and facing opposite to the the light melts fastest, which is just lazy.
>>317640967

No because Fallout 4 is a shit game and you're a faggot if you support Bethesda.
>>317641720
They're a cool company. They bought Darksiders and a few other THQ IPs too. DS2 re-release was troubled on PC though

non-euclidean means that over a particular space two parallel lines do not stay parallel.
Math is done on a flat plane, where angles in a triangle add to 180 and parallel lines stay a constant distance away.
In hyperbolic geometry angles in a triangle sum to less than 180 and parallel lines get further apart.
In ellipsoid geometry angles in a triangle sum to over 180 and parallel lines eventually intersect.
Longitude and latitude lines on a map are one example of ellipsoid geometry, in that two parallel vertical lines crash into each other at the poles and that greenland is fucking huge.
Get your shit together before my autism is triggered further.

All that effort on the windscreen and all I see is the driver side window is just a 2 second long fixed animation that loops...

They had to make cuts somewhere. It's running on a console after all.

look at the raindrop streaks on the driver window
>>317644650
to be fair nobody would be looking at the driver side window, your attention should be on the windshield while playing
only in webm form is it even obvious

many thanks
looking up "impossible" and "euclidian in workshop brought up nothing that looked like it

I don't trust mind readers.
