what is the most well optimized game of all time /v/?

Rollercoaster Tycoon
GTA IV PC:^)
DMC 4
To this day I still don't understand how it looks and plays so well on literal toasters.
probably World of Warcraft
It was a very well programmed game to begin
and after 10+ years of updates and expansions and only one platform it's probably the most polished and the most optimized video game ever
>>339697105
Pacman
Tetris
Pong
original starcraft
Don't agree? Tongue my nuts.

Doom.
Shit runs on ultrasound machines.
Doom
>>339697213
.kkreiger
An FPS in 96 Kilobytes.
>>339699241
it runs so well because its engine is literally a modifed WC3 engine, which was made in like 02.
>>339697105
Doom. It can actually run on ATMs.
>>339699793
>>339699797

Is there anything Doom can't run on?

This is more a testament to it's portability, not necessarilly it's optimization as the weird machines it's been run on have considerable power compared to PCs of the time. And while it is well optimized I still remember not being able to run it well on my mom's toaster.
>>339700461
People have got it running on a printer LCD display and an ATM, m8
DMC4 is magic.
You could probably run it on a calculator.
>>339697195
>>339699079
DMC4 runs incredible well because its engine is incredibly suited for the kind of game DMC4 is.
Almost everything in DMC4 is pre-baked, no physics, no dynamic lighting shit, its a very simple game in terms of tech. Which is what allowed it to run at 60 fps and look great on 360 and PS3, shadows actually looked fucking awful in DMC4 on consoles, but it was only noticeable in the jungle.
Now compare vanilla DMC4 with DMC4SE. In which they introduced minor new additions like new coat physics, and suddenly the performance takes a swan-dive. It still runs good, but it really makes you appreciate how incredibly clever the designers and programmers were. RE5 was also very good at hiding it's visual short-comings and looks pretty great still.

Is this some sort of meme I missed?
>>339700647
No.
DMC4 is REALLY well optimized.
>>339700647
DMC3 is one of the worst PC versions ever.
DMC4 is one of the best.

Yes, printers and ATMs with more processing power than most people's home computers in 1993.
>>339697105
It sounds goofy as fuck to bring this up, but GunZ the Duel can run pretty well on just about any toaster.
>>339701174
Someone post that picture of GunZ on the lowest settings.
>>339700714
>>339700827
Then I guess I got the one and only corrupted version because I had to jump through a billion hoops to get it to run propperly.
>>339697195
first post, best post
>>339701206It's my picture anyways
GunZ with purpose designed fuckery for maximum lightweight.
>>339701401
>We want the Alone in the Dark audience
>>339701206
The problem with it, was that it didn't run WELL on ANYTHING as well
>>339701546
I guess? I mean, I wasn't into the whole FPS debacle back when I played GunZ. I just knew that sub 20 FPS was bad, but I've never had a solid rig to see if GunZ was even capable of 60 FPS and not just hard capped at 30.

I always had the impression that Half-Life 1, HL 2 and all the other Valve games were amazingly well optimized. At the time I always had shitty pcs and was able to run them at some resolution.
I have the impression Overwatch might also be well optimized, but I haven't tried it yet in a very shitty pc.
>>339697105
To this day i have no idea how Just Cause 2 did it, Even when multiplayer hit i never got a single speck of lag, never a dull frame, Didnt matter if i prepared C4 onto every single fuel tank on the island and detonated, It was so good.
>>339702718
Source was always decent in terms of optimization, but not for shit like TF2 where they overloaded the engine with so much shit it really is hard to say its optimized anymore.
I would assume WoW is extremely well optimized, I'm assuming it can still run on toasters even to this day decently well otherwise it'd alienate the players.
Rollercoaster Tycoon probably. The thing was 99% written in assembly code which is just absurd.
MGSV
>>339702718
>I have the impression Overwatch might also be well optimized, but I haven't tried it yet in a very shitty pc.
I got an ancient toaster running a stock q6600, a gtx460 and iirc 4gb of ram, it runs at barely 30 fps
>>339702929
>assembly code
I still don't understand how they managed, Assembly is such a nightmare, even for simple debugging.
>>339702114
>not just hard capped at 30
Why the fuck would it be?
OpenTTD
>>339703152
Try reading the conversation before butting in. Not him, just to clarify.
Alien Isolation.
>>339703069
And it's general difficulty is greatly exaggerated. Assembly is extremely difficult to do certain things in, especially regarding things that ideally would be based around complex type abstractions. If you're just creating something out of simple functions that transform data structures in regular and well defined ways than it isn't that much more difficult than using C, especially with modern assemblers, and especially when you can make use of macros.
>>339703152
Because 60 FPS was a wet dream back when GunZ came out, and several weapon mechanics are frame dependent. Plus, a lot of shit regarding k-style is/was frame specific, which would be thrown out the window and would be nowhere near as prolific as it was/is if everyone was playing at a variety of frame rates depending on the cluster fuck.
So, as someone who can say that GunZ's frame rate is stable unless absolute crazy shit is happening, I'm going to just put the IDEA on the table that, just maybe, a hard cap was put on FPS to make sure things always worked as intended.
Calm your tits.
>>339703392
That's true, but RCT is full of complex abstractions.
I guess I just don't see the point for digging in to assembly code, except for tweaking stuff. Modern compilers can do a lot of that grunt work for you.
>>339703047
this
>>339701401
I remember when this game first came out and quickly became shit because of that k-style bug.
the feel when i got headshots on all those faggets and then they proceeded to use hacks to get revenge.

fucking kstyle was a mistake excuse me for using guns in gunz instead of teleporting around with a katana
>>339697105
Hitman Blood Money.
The game still looks considerably good even nowadays and I was able to run it @30 fps on a 1GHz netbook without a GPU.

ATM's run winXP so that's not that surprising
Binary Domain
>>339699991
that's cause atms are literally windows
>>339706323
>>339708275
Who the fuck would put Windows on an ATM (esp. XP) what with all the security holes and "telemetry" on that OS?
>>339709592
the same people that decided it's a good idea to put rfid on credit cards
pretty sure it uses old windows ce, and isn't actually connected to the internet, though
plus there's no regular keyboard or mouse connected to it, and you can't really log into it remotely either (I hope) so you can't really do much
>>339703283
>Alien
This. People said the GTX 970 wouldn't handle 1080p+
Yet it does Alien Isolation at 4K max graphics at 144FPS+.

I can send you my own XML file, it have way higher LoD options and more shadow res options.

Ran amazingly well on my previous toaster that had a core2duo and some ancient ATi card.
I wish all games were this well optimized.
>>339711994
I wouldn't push my luck this far since I got framedrops during explosions. Besides my only real disappointment is the AA filter, otherwise the game looks great.
MGSV runs like a dream in 1440p
WoW is damn near perfect. The only issues I ever encountered were caused by faulty addons. Also TESO is surprisingly well optimized. The game itself wasn't that fun but it ran great considering my specs.
>>339709592
Most ATM use windows embedded
>>339713161
You can use Nvidia Inspector if you want a different AA method anon. :3
>people stating original DOOM is the most optimized game of all time

It finally became playable by the time PSX/N64 came out and even then PSX's version is missing levels and there are limited demon spawnings equivalent to D44M. Fuck all of you doom babbies born after 80s.Sage and hidden.
>>339715002
Doom managed to run on low end PCs for it's time.
Consoles where slower than toasters at that time.
Go figure.
>>339709592
>what is Windows CE
>>>/g/
Educate yourself.
There is a tremendous amount of optimization work behind the original Quake engine. The engine was extremely ambitious in term of features at the time and they managed to make it run solely on an unremarkable Pentium CPU. The N64 CPU alone was roughly equivalent in term of processing power and had a fully dedicated GPU yet most games failed to match Quake's visual fidelity.
See the Graphics Programming Black Book.
>>339716640
The only sensible post amongst a pile of feces of 70-80 shitters.
>>339697105
any open source engine by id
>>339702620
I'm playing it right now and it's got a lot of hickups.
SSHD ran way better for me
>>339698152
This. Game would run just fine on toasters despite hundreds of guests walking around your park. Look at any more recent games that use independent agents like that. Tropicos, Sim City 2013 or even Cities Skylines. They all run worse on far more powerful hardware. RCT recommended specs are 200 Mhz Pentium and 32 MB of RAM. Minimum specs are half of that.
