    Same. And I’m sick of all these stupid puddles everywhere. It’s like how everything two generations ago looked wrapped in plastic because card makers were shovelling specular lightmaps or whatever.

    It’s just the vapid faces of fashion. A bullet point for the investors that’ll impress for a moment, then be forgotten.

      Control was the first game that made me “get” raytracing because everything else felt like a gimmick

        Control also convinced me that DLSS was actually useful. I was hoping it’d usher in an era of running games with high settings on low end hardware but instead it just kicked off an era of devs not bothering to optimize games.

        Yeah I was specifically thinking of Remedy with Control as a shop that makes good use of the tech to put forward an aesthetic that isn’t just flash and chrome.

        But I believe they could make a beautiful game with a Voodoo 2 lol, they’re that good.
