I have nothing to contribute but love technology threads.

>Its got a level of oil
Holy shit.
>wasted resources thread
>>340730664
Oh I'm sure the 4 KB of memory and 3 picoseconds of processing it took to keep track of the oil completely destroyed the game's performance and production schedule.
This game has some nice destruction.

>>340731385
I bet it took literal days to write that code, feat of engineering if anything. Literally 20 programmers at it for weeks, 250K+ spent on that feature no doubt.
>>340732207
Cool, thanks anon

I always thought the water in Resistance 2 was way to dense, seemed to have the consistency of oil more than water
>>340732571
I agree but for a 2008 console game it was impressive.
>>340731385
>a few lines of code to simulate real-life related rates
>don't even need actual calculus to make it convincing
This one feature alone probably delayed the game for years. What in the fuck were they thinking
>>340731869
>>340732261
>>340732942
Is this why HL3 is never coming out?
>>340732682
Yeah true, Resistance did some neat things. I think I remember the original one having some neat shattering glass.
>>340732682
It's actually old Sony tech from the PS2 days, Ratchet had this kind of water, Baldurs Gate had it, and then later God of War used it. R2's just adds refraction to the water
Iirc it was part of the tech demo examples that came with the PS2 SDK so thats why a lot of Sony games had it, I cant remember if the PS3 sdk had that but I'm sure you could port the code pretty easy if you wanted to
Also Unreal Engine had something similar
>>340732381
>>340732443
>>340732682
Unreal Tournament 2003 had the same water physics meshes, albeit lower resolution because of hardware at the time.
Don't know if this counts but fuck it
>>340734387
Get out
>>340730049
Why did they bother with that? It adds nothing to the game, but it looks like it consumed a lot of valuable time.
>>340734387
Are you stupid?
>>340734387
>enemies hit you in a random pattern that looks like it is synced
>"t-technology!"
I don't think so, soulsfag.
>>340730493
Yeah, I also remember that. My mind was blown back then. I recently replayed TS2 and I found it completely shitty, worse than Perfect Dark on the N64. It doesn't even have reload animations. What a piece of shit.
>>340732571
Same here, still cool though.
Is there any game besides Witcher that has beard/hair growth? I've seen people say GTA V but it's total bullshit.
>>340732348
>water doesn't pool on the floor
total trash
>>340734387
It looks really bad when the enemies just keep swinging after you're dying in slow motion. It just looks so off.
>>340734387
Completely your fault. I saw that R1 you fool
>>340734387
Can you dodge or block those attack, or is it a complete stunlock
>>340734796
Deadly Premonition
>>340734387
That's not synchronized it's a random clusterfuck you see in every single game if you get surrounded.
>>340735051
And if you don't wash and change clothes you start to smell bad, people complain, you get flies around you and they start docking your wage.

>>340734890
Not me, too much of a toaster to run DS3
>>340734985
Before they start jumping you can see he tries to swing, he should have rolled instead.
Blocking wouldn't work because you can't shield both left and right, unless you started blocking when facing the single guy.
Of course if only poise worked we wouldn't have to think about this stuff
Also, some more fun
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XS49Dazin3E
>>340734593
>>340734985
The enemies do try to synch up attacks in ds3, if you aggro two at the same time, just watch them, one of them will almost always hold off on attacking you until the first one has to time the staggers.
That said, I wouldn't really call something that basic 'technology'

This is no TECHNOLOGY. It's just a cool moment in a game. It's like calling that moment in the first BioShock "TECHNOLOGY" when instead it's just a cool, well implemented, scripted moment:

I appologize to all other anons for a slight off topic post.
I was super emotional, depressed and certain I'm too much of a freak, nerd and an introverted mess to ever be with a woman. My depression lasted for years, would get jelaous of every sex scene in a movie so much I'd stop watching it.
Turned out that for some time a young girl was adoring me from a distance, even doing some light stalking. Felt like she fell from the sky, I would have never guessed such a cute girl would be into me.
The point is, I was very pessimistic and it happened to me, so it can happen to you too anon, and it probably will, when you least expect it.

>>340739249
I don't understand
>>340739308
VLC is objectively inferior to MPC
>>340738947

>>340738016

It makes no difference. Both of them play videos.
>>340739536
A Nokia clamphone and and Samsung Galaxy both make phone calls, but that doesn't mean one isn't inferior to the other.
Imagine being an elitist about how you play videos on your computer holy shit
>>340739604
That was a pretty shoddy attempt anon. The Galaxy is better specifically because of all the things it can do beyond just making calls. In fact, if you literally wanted to do nothing but make calls, the Nokia phone would be a better choice because it would be cheaper and have better battery life.
>>340739762

That is not true of MPC and VLC. 99% of the time a person's experience watching a video with one or the other of these programs is virtually identical.

>>340743638
Why do you post fake words to make people angry?
>>340743091
No, I'm one of the people here who constantly makes fun of PS4 and Xbone for not being able to run anything at 60fps. The difference between 30 and 60 is obvious and most people who claim otherwise on /v/ are just (you) fishing. The difference you're claiming is not obvious or important.
Here, I literally opened the same video in the two without changing anything from the default settings. Explain which is MPC and why it's better.
>>340743976
Are you seriously saying good programming isn't technology?
>>340744210
I'm not him, but personally for me, VLC had a ton of fuzziness and pixelation going on, whereas MPC worked fine.
>>340741849
>the devs has been making bi weekly updates
>Also they have been doing bi weekly updates again
Christ it isn't even subtle.
>>340744210
Both of those look like still shots of the hallway. VLC causes a lot of artifacting in quick moving shots, and cuts
>>340744380
Sure, whatever the reason for that, use the one that works better for you.
The argument is about people who act superior over their choice.
>>340744224
It's not particularly unusual, an extra feature added in that would normally not even be thought of, OR a display of real-life physics that are often left out due to engine limitations.
>>340743636
If it's dynamic then yes, I haven't focus on this tho
