/v/ - Video Games

>EA

EA's a failing sack of shit company.

>>15664988

big talk; does nothing? Basically this board in a nutshell

>>15665016

Just like the retards that keep bringing up the shitty meme.

>>15665016

Nigger we are the minority of minorities. In case you've been asleep for the past ten fucking years let me remind you: This industry's gross revenue has eclipsed Hollywood. That wasn't us buying those video games.

>no longer bound on cpu or gpu

>When servers will still depend on these things

I get it sounds "cool" in marketing terms, but that is still retarded. Also I hope the stock holders/suits don't actually fall for

>cloud gaming will enable games to reach new audiences and geographies

No nigger in mudhut africa is going to be able to afford or have the ability to stream games. It'll only be the same fuckers who have the money to waste on new and pointless things.

>>15665045

nah, they're technically right about the streaming part, in terms of raw computing power. for example, excepting some PC games, Brazillians are basically lagging a whole console generation behind because they have absurd import laws. this is why the PS2 had such a ridiculously long shelf life. now they only need to ensure that BRs have consistent and fast internet, which i can tell you from playing Dota 2 a few years ago that they definitely don't

>>15665045

Cloud gaming is still a terrible experience. And I'm not sure about the rest of the world but in America most of the broadband internet companies have metered connections meaning it will never be viable because of the bandwidth limitations.

>>15665094

reminds me of the intentional delay frames put in SFV to make online play more smooth. they're taking it out soon due to massive player complaints, too late though, most players quit a few months in.

Whatever. Let this be the hill EA finally dies on.

>>15664981

>still no infrastructure to make it widely available

>still renders graphics looking like shit

>still has input delay

>already has established competition doing it better

>actually believes they'll be able to corner the market!

Electronic Arts and anyone who invests with them are fucking morons.

>>15665045

investors in gaming have proven time and time again that they have zero grasp of what makes vidya good and popular.

>>15665105

That shit should never even have been put into the water mains. As it stands, its ruined their entire water distribution infrastructure and they have the gall to act like the customers should pay for it.

If it quickens the video game crash, I welcome it.

>>15665174

The xbone one console is the normalfag containment unit and we are still drowned in AAA shit and pozz. The only people I know who have xbunos only have sports and cod and here we are today.

Anyone remember when this gen was supposed to be all about second screen experiences? Instead it became about jewing customers out of every scent. Until EA tried it and turned governments against them. Now they are pushing streaming I wonder how it will turn out.

>>15665094

Fuck yeah games that are even less responsive and require even less precision than they do now. Modern video games have already sacrificed so much to account for HD's extra processing time.

>>15665281

>cuckchan memes

>>15664981

We don't need a disruptive force, we need good games

They've never not been evil but at least EA used to occasionally deliver good games

>>15665310

yes. A lot of this shit comes from shit posted online, and the shitty stuff stands out but is a minority to how people actually think. These people usually know eachother, get into Youtuber parties and act like eachother as a result. What you're seeing are city folk, and a small number of them at that.

The internet makes for a very small world my friend.

>>15665384

If that's all you have to say in response, then it's a pathetic response. You're here to demoralize, you don't actually know people. The internet isn't the world.

>>15665281

I bet a millenial posted this.

>>15665384

most people are stupid and weak and the characterization of normalfags as a horde of uninformed, uncultered swine is not far off the mark.

>>15665405

>>15665415

This reeks of ID hopping, no one says "Indeed" to fucking anything around here.

>>15665561

They know piracy doesn't hurt them, or if it does it's a tiny amount. It's about control. They want complete control over the consumer and product. It's why their butthurt about piracy/torrent/peer2peer/rom/etc sites. Not because they hurt their bottomline much, but because they represent a way to get games out of their control. Streaming is the ultimate for of control, which is why they keep pushing it and will always try to push it.

We all know stream only operating systems are the final step in anti-piracy and mass censorship. Of course EA would jump on the game streaming platform.

Yay.

Can't wait for shitty input lag while seeing their glorious 4k 12fps cinematic experience ruined by stream compression and ads.

>>15665603

I agree completely. Cloud gaming would allow them to monetize every single aspect of games, and to dictate the way they are played. No more free mods, no more independant community, no more private servers. It would also severely hinder indie devs, so that's another competitor out. And since we know the average normalnigger doesn't give a shit about good games, you can be sure they would love cloud gaming. If it catches on, the whole medium will become an ocean of jewish marketing diarrhea.

>>15665613

I ain't going to use a Stream only OS. Nor will I use a Stream only game. For one problem, the fact of the matter is a game that you can only play always online is a game living on deathrow, the game will only run until the game publishers decide "this game is done" and kill it. Want to play a game you enjoyed 10 years ago? Too fucking bad, it got shutdown 7 years ago even though it was a singleplayer game.

See: Darkspore

>>15665681

Fuck you, and fuck that. If it comes down to it, I'll start making and publishing my own games if it has to come to that.

>>15665699

Kill yourself blackpill fag. Just skip the bullshit and go straight into abusing all the text formatting faggot.

Is it really worth it to them to have to be the ones providing the hardware and electricity to run everyone's games? It's going to be funny as hell if someone finds a code injection glitch like embed related. I'm not sure how common they are now though.

>>15665681

Sounds like you need to take the brown pill again, niggerpiller.

While I am not entirely against the idea of streaming games onto computers/consoles to play, especially if it is an optional method of play, I can this having some severe issues.

People with shit internet connections are going to have a worse experience compared to having it run on dedicated hardware.

ISP packages with bandwidth caps are going to likely reduce the amount of people who are likely going to play games with said services.

Component companies will likely attempt to get exclusive access to devs who will not provide games with streaming services or other methods in order to sabotage streaming as it would likely hurt their bottom line.

Making a functional backend for all this is going to be one colossal task for any company.

>>15665791

And this is where Google and Facebook trying to extend their internet services to turd worlds come in to play. ISPs have already grown to their max with the monopolies in the west. To grow more power because profit is for chums these companies are looking to expand their services into the turd world. Thus hoping to get into politics there to exploit the system for power.

Everyone here seems to be missing one major issue with games as a streaming service: they're gone forever once the streaming service decides the game is unprofitable. Imagine if movie studios didn't make DVDs or BDs of movies and once the movie's theatrical run was over, that was it. Nobody would ever be seeing that movie again. This is the future EA and everyone pushing for games as a service wants.

>>15665862

I'm certain games preservation doesn't need to be said. But to these big companies game preservation is literal piracy. So they will want to memory hole releases to sell them offer and offer again.

>>15665888

Metal Gear Solid 5 is the last game I remembered that was optimized for PC.

>>15665888

>They weren't smart enough to code the game so that it just teleports you five feet back when you leave the operational boundary

>They weren't even smart enough to just put impassable mountains or even just an invisible wall there.

Christ really good fucking devs you got there.

>>15665714

ASSES AND ELBOWS MY FELLOW REDDITOR!

>you_don't_own_nothing_goyim.jpg

I imagine a world without Jews.

I have a feeling this is going to be divisive even among normalfags and they're going to pull some shit to make themselves look like victims.

>>15665917

Do you remember when that mad lad went on about super secret special wifi? I don't have any sources on hand but I recall a conference where he went on about some radio shit like a loon.

>>15666172

I only remember the tachyon thing, a shame, because that sounds like some Communist Gangster Computer God level of hilarity.

>>15665016

>>15665281

Hi cuckchan.

>>15665162

I agree, retards will eat this up.

>>15666165

I agree, I don't think it'll pass as smoothly as some here think.

>>15666211

Humourously, even piracy is probably a lot less expensive to them than having to maintain all the expensive servers that would be needed for this scheme.

>>15665681

>Just give it up, they won.

Yes, fellow white person.

I can't wait for the mess of technical issues caused by the fact that ISPs in America are entirely dogshit. Surely increasing the number of freeriders and their bandwidth consumption on infrastructure that is already crumbling will have no negative effects on anything. Enjoy not being able to load a website because all of the cowadoodee faggots are streaming the entire game and streaming the video and audio from it to twitch to be watched by other faggots.

>>15666232

it doesnt matter, all the good games were already released on physical media

there're enough games from 1980-2015 to last a lifetime

>>15664981

The majority of America's citizens currently enjoy shit internet. An entirely new infrastructure would need to be put into place before this sort of solution would be viable, at least in burgerland. Maybe Eurofags will have the pleasure of being the lab rats for this new type of distribution. Hopefully it dies before it ever gets any traction, but knowing the average consumer has about as much forethought as a retarded chimp, and half the fucking self restraint, we can expect this to encroach the video game industry as the hot new thing in probably another 10 to 12 years. If this ever comes to fruition, I'll truly be done with new games. Fuck off, I'll play old shit for the remainder of my days. There's not that much to look forward to anyway.

>>15666251

somewhat true but a lot of those games need to be archived because we're loosing the files necessary to play those games and the hardware is also ageing terribly. I agree though that the curation and backup of video games is extremely important and something that works in contrary to these new streaming initiatives. I am farrr more interested in the restoration of older games.

>gaas

>you pay based on how much you play

>games either become grindfest for the autist skinnerites that still play games or they try to have long term interest ie rebirth of MMO

In reality

>gaas

>you buy the game for $100

>it's a shitty laggy grindfest for the autist brigade

>>15666246

It's easy, I think they are aiming for a target audience in the big cities where else in the states do you have decent fast internet with a good upload speed to go along with it outside of metro areas?

>>15666251

>there're enough games from 1980-2015 to last a lifetime

Not saying it's wrong, but it shouldnt have to be that way. Also what >>15666262 said about the top priority of preserving phsical media and iso/rom files for old (and still rather 'recent') games

They will keep trying for this as its the true end game for the kikes. Players will not even own a digital copy to distribute elsewhere, they will have no choice but to stay on the internet and play a game.

I only pay for physical so good luck with that. I like to own my stuff.

>>15666289

>360: for people

>one: for people with internet

>next gen: for people with really fast internet, close to city centres

What's next, return of the arcades?

Reminder that EA's stocks are taking a massive nosedive with no sign of stopping, to the point where they are worse off now than they were last year.

>>15666307

How long until Tencent buys EA so that we can truly welcome our new Chinese overlords?

I seriously would rather put up with the Chinamen kikes' bullshit than the vanilla kikes' bullshit.

Oh look, I was right again. Imagine my fucking shock.

>>15664981

They can't even support game servers to play on for more than two years, how are they gonna support the 24/7 streaming shit?

>>15666325

It'll cause the Collapse. So you might be right about them being dumb enough to do it, but expect it to bite them in the ass.

>>15666339

it won't collapse, they'll just move to full-time gambling like Konami did.

>>15664981

>no longer bound by device or CPU or GPU

But all the FIFA normalfags and NBA nogs play on console. They don't even buy digital games let alone pay for streaming. Not to mention that stuff like PSNow flopped hard.

>>15666319

>I seriously would rather put up with the Chinamen kikes' bullshit than the vanilla kikes' bullshit.

You know nothing, anon. Chinks are probably the most subhuman of all homo sapiens on this planet, they're like fucking locusts.

>>15666350

Locust is still preferable to jew.

>This will be inevitable because games will be designed around predictive algorithms, anon.

Fucking hilarious shit, they can't even create competent games anymore because the industry is full of cronyism, corruption, political bootlicking, and shady business practices. You really think the increasingly incompetent workforce will be able to magic up a new way of designing games when they phone it in for every new gimmick using middleware. This is all snake oil to sell shareholders, even they don't buy it.

>>15665256

I thought that was the PS4 what with all their censor faggotry.

Things like these make me realize that justice is just a meme

>>15665174

>he wants EA to become a gaming version of (((Netflix)))

Great fucking idea.

>>15666325

15 years ago I called people retards for thinking digital games are the future. And look where we are now.

>>15666377

Digital gaming at least is what allowed smaller studios to compete with the big boys, which if they DO go into becoming solely streaming services that somehow take off without constant technical issues, will allow good games to still be made and distributed outside the cloud. AAA gaming has been dead for years anyway for those with taste, and if the streaming services attract all the normalfags and shit-eaters while opening a niche for people who desire their games to remain locally installed, we might see a return to a better and healthier scene, especially since those cancerous indie faggots desiring quick bucks and propaganda vehicles will move to the popular method, whatever that may be. The evil becomes the good.

>>15666339

Be reasonable here, if normalfags are okay with 30fps with dips into single digit framerates on their AAAshit, do you really think some input lag is going to be the straw that breaks the camel's back?

>>15665045

>I get it sounds "cool" in marketing terms, but that is still retarded. Also I hope the stock holders/suits don't actually fall for

>>15665211

>investors in gaming have proven time and time again that they have zero grasp of what makes vidya good and popular.

People seem to forget that executives and shareholders are normalfags themselves. Of course they're going to fall for such bull.

>>15666422

Good point. And given the amount of autoaim and "it plays itself" shit we see like Uncharted, Bamham, etc, I wouldn't be surprised if they implemented some kind of "predictive play" feature (possibly based on data-mining other players) to hide even the input lag by automatically injecting common actions server-side, like that scene in the shitty Robocop reboot where they hacked his brain to make him think he was in control but really he wasn't

At that point it's only a matter of time until shit like "Skyrim Alexa" becomes normal and instead of using a controller you just yell at the TV what to do and the whole thing is treated like some kind of episodic movie using digital likenesses of famous dead actors injected into pozzed scripts shat out of Hollywood's no-talent narcissistic anal fissures.

>>15666325

You're a faggot and there is zero chance of that ever happening.

>>15666325

This shit comes in waves. Same thing happens with VR. Game streaming will go away again, and so will VR, which is already dying.

The only true constant is suffering. And jewish tricks. The only two constants are constant suffering from constant jewish tricks.

>>15665104

That's not even the fucking problem with SFV and input delay, the problem is that they somehow fucking managed to keep a high and randomly fluctuating input delay even offline. There's never been anything smooth about that game offline or online.

>>15665281

>fuck over western societies

>outsource all jobs

<millenials are like so lazy, worst generation

Cant wait for you boomer fucks to die off in retirement homes.

Hope they go balls-deep into it and then cry as the cutomers leave them in droves due to the servers getting overloaded. It's like Diablo 3 taught them nothing about what a shitty idea this is

>>15666451

Dont forget about muh eye tracking, (((they))) are desperate to sell that tech

>>15666557

Not to mention the old

> when I was your age I made $10 an hour and I liked it just fine

ignoring the whole "drastic inflation" the jews pull with fiat currency so that even earning $20 an hour today is worth less than $5 back when your parents were earning money in the 70s and 80s.

>>15666867

Gotta get those retinal images and facial scans.

>>15664981

Unless EA invented tech involving tachyons, this shit ain't happening fucking ever.

I can't even stream to my own tablet from my pc via fast ethernet and satisfying latency lol, unless maybe for aaa-shit games where your movement is sluggish

It's pointless idiocy by people who have no idea how computers work. Neither Valve nor EA nor any other big publisher has been able to provide a 100% stable and fast service to this day, so the idea of having thousands of people stream a game from their servers is laughable.

>>15666590

I SO MUCH hope they finally go bankrupt and make space for a company like EA was in its old days.

>>15664981

Let me know when they can achieve 0 ping uncapped broadband with 1TB of bandwidth for the entire planet. That's the minimum they'd have to do before I give a single fuck about anything EA "imagines".

>>15666399

>Digital gaming at least is what allowed smaller studios to compete with the big boys

It's not really the smaller studios since they still have big publishers most of the time especially if it's multiplat. But it's good for indie devs, because they reach a bigger audience if their game is on Steam, GoG or whatever. But what bothers me personally is that digital games are the same price as their physical counterpart or often even 5-15 bucks more expensive for some reason. Not counting keysites or sales of course.

>especially since those cancerous indie faggots desiring quick bucks and propaganda vehicles will move to the popular method

Yup, you just need to look at the games Shitcord is selling, which are all indies, to realize that most indie devs are sellouts. Hell, even Notch sold out to m$, but they offered him 2,5 billion so thats atleast understandable. Everyone would've done the same in his position.

>>15665086

Yeah, streaming games sucks. I tried a few from the PSN shit, and I had decent internet, but still any action game was unplayable because there was just way too much delay. Only turnbased shit was playable, like XCOM.

Streaming videogames is impossible due to lag or perhaps will EA break some physic laws? Let's see in another episode of gold diggers.

>>15667682

More importantly they can then ban you for being a shitlord elsewhere, too.

>>15666451

>"predictive play" feature (possibly based on data-mining other players) to hide even the input lag by automatically injecting common actions server-side

Retroarch has a similar feature now to remove input latency completely. I forgot what it's called, but it somehow has to do with fast forwarding, saving every possible button command and loading them at the right time or something.

>>15667760

Is that something similar to speculative execution on CPUs, where it will do every possible combination of results and then use the correct one?

>>15667682

First they have to deal with all the old hardware, and that general purpose computers aren't going anywhere.

>>15667458

If they deliver instantaneous internet to every single human on earth, unlimited even by the speed of light, that can download terabytes per second regardless of server load, then we'll have more to worry about than just "oh no they control my vidya". How about "oh no EA has technology that can break the lightspeed barrier"? They could control the fucking universe with tech like that, so vidya would be a lower priority concern.

(The joke was that my conditions for taking them seriously were inherently impossible.)

How will streaming work with the big new Chink market? Chinks have shit hardware that can barely play Starcraft, lol @ the idea of them streaming anything from the other side of the world.

My friend just canceled his Netflix subscription the other day and bought the season DVDs of a show they removed. The second EA decides that it's time to shutdown whatever game they put out that's only available through streaming, the whole thing will fall apart. People will cancel their game streaming subscriptions en masse.

>>15667907

You overestimate the average consumer.

>>15664981

>Next generation will be about streaming games

in the same time 100% of the new games are pure shit, cohenincidence?

>>15667924

I have not seen a single instance in which any consumer, normalfag or otherwise, has been okay with companies taking stuff away from them. Someone had itunes delete the files for two movies FROM HIS HARDDRIVE because itunes didn't have the license for them anymore. That tweet went viral, meaning that even normalfags don't like the "You don't own shit, goyim" that a lot of companies are trying to peddle.

>>15665211

It's marketing faggot, and they've got a damn good grasp on what is making the most money.

>>15666208

You just need to design game in such way it it doesn't require fast twitch inputs.

For shooter style games solution is obvious. Aimbots.

>>15668162

GoW aiming is still shit and controllers will always be inferior to M/KB, so uh?

>>15665211

Their water ended up like that because they DON'T pay for it. Welfare niggers don't pay their water bills nor do they pay taxes, that's why those cities are crumbling. There was a city employee in Flint that made a passing remark about that fact and he was fired from his job. Democrat run cities survive only on denial.

>>15668209

steam still installs games on your system and can be cracked to access those games without real steam access.

full cloud gaming has the game installed and running in a company datacenter somewhere while its just streamed to your screen through a device while your control inputs are streamed back to the processors in the datacenter.

>>15668263

of all games, you chose the one with literal p2w mechanics

Welcome to Anglo management.

>>15667338

>Streaming means service, thus only big companies can provide

Not only that. They will be ban you or pull games at any time, and if a company goes under, so do their games. Furthermore, it's an excellent way to fuck over those with shit internet or in remote areas.

You can bet they'll try to jew everyone out of their money as you'll very likely have to keep paying to access 'your' library.

Also see >>15668303

doesn't this mean that this along with VR could potentially bring arcades back?

I believe it, though I don't think it's a good thing. I think the generation after the next one will be digital only.

>>15670556

Yea, and microtransactions were a plan to destroy young people's economies and gacha games are an invention of the USA to destroy China.

No, it's just what EA hopes for the future. They already said all of this for microtransactions.

Maybe you could be correct in 50 years.

>>15665077

>bandwidth limitations.

In the UK there's only one Internet provider that won't throttle you if you use "too much", despite all major ISP's having "unlimited" packages. Fair usage policies are total horseshit but it might just keep this streaming bullshit at bay although if Steam picks it up, it's probably all over for physical.

>>15666568

After Code Vein, maybe. I like the Souls format, and Namco Bandai are the publisher that works with FromSoft to make Souls games. So I'm confident they'll make something I enjoy.

Also Shadows Die Twice.

>>15664981

Good. It will accelerate (even more) the fall of EA.

>>15664981

If that day ever comes, it will be the day I no longer play any current games and exclusively play older games. I'm already mostly there anyway.

>>15665045

>>15666441

To be honest, they can easily make "X game" machines. This means they can, just like for consoles, they can optimize for just one machine, which is easier and cheaper. Not saying I want cloud gaming, but not being depended on CPU/GPU is actually a true statement in the sense of optimization. They can choose their "X game" machine to have whatever they want and optimize just for it.

>>15666304

>What's next, return of the arcades?

I wouldn't be surprised. Apparently tyrannical control of your video game is now the most important thing in the universe, trumping all common sense. I imagine it has to be due to executives that talked to executives from the real software industry and not pseudoHollywood who hyped them up on software as a service. Obviously streaming providers have their own incentive but they need gaming publishers to get interested.

>>15674006

>>Even though every file you need is on your HDD and you only need to crack Steam's DRM

>>Which Steam is so lax with that 99% of non-denuvo games are easily cracked

The point is you have to be a nigger and violate the (((terms of service))), (((EULA))), and (((copyright law))) to run and keep your games offline, or to play in LAN without (((Steam)))'s cancer. If you really owned your games, you'd be able to run them on your terms with whomever you want and at the version of your choice.

Basically, less bad than the worst is still bad.

>>15675969

>play in LAN

to have non-local multiplayer

>>15665086

You can't see the whole picture. The titles that normalfags pick up aren't the most popular ones, but those that are the easiest to make within a given platform. FPSs became extremely popular after Halo showed the world that there was an easy solution to shooting with a controller. Most likely, eggheads in EA dev teams are already crafting the easiest-to-make game type that most people will buy in streamed format. Mark my fucking words here…

It'll be cinematic (obviously, no problems with lag during cutscenes) and will focus heavily on turn based or automatic bullshit like modern mobile games. It will be sort of how Pokèmon or those mobile tower defense games are, minimal input by the user, mostly gachashit and occasional metagames.

Lot of poorly organized forced memeing about this, the degeneration of creativity hits everywhere, it seems.

That's like imagining a world where electric cars are no longer bound by batteries because they've all got really long cords and you just leave them plugged in

the internet is no where near fast enough for streaming games to be remotely satisfying.

>>15677813

no pun intended

>>15664981

Streaming games that can be turned off at any second.

>>15665066

That is exactly his point, anon. The people that are rich enough to afford an internet connection that has the bandwidth to even support streaming fucking videogames of all things, generally have enough of a budget to have already bought a console or PC. Some poor faggot in bumfuckistan isn't going to have access to streamed videogames.

What I'm wondering is, how do they expect to run multiple instances of the same game? Say you have, and let's be conservative, 50,000 head of cattle who are simultaneously playing your shitty game on your shitty streaming service. How would your internal infrastructure even manage that? You would literally need supercomputers to handle all of those processes. These fuckers have absolutely no foresight.

im stupid and have no idea wut they mean by cloud gaming? does it mean they want to run the game through the cloud? as inyou dont even have the game on your system and someone else runs the game for you and you just recieve it through the internet?

Joking aside, my monitor is actually 2560x1440 @ 144 Hz, and all the current streaming specs assume 1080p @ 60 fps. If there's anything that dents the possibility of this bullshit, at least on the PC side, is if the standards increase.

>>15664981

>No longer bound by CPU and GPU

Oh great, now that devs won't have the constraint of hardware they will totally unlearn to optimize anything to the point where games are going to be bound by your fucking network speed.

They would just shove more cutscenes in the games than they already have been doing so technically their servers at the data center renders something once and sends it out to multiple clients. No one these days complains about cutscenes as much as I do, so I see that in the realm of possibility.

>>15664981

ya streaming video games where we are still limited by shitty half done infrastructure, lag/ping and internet providers

FUCK EA

>>15686426

It'll happen and the cucks will eat up EA's excuses anyway.

Much like Ross, I feel like if game streaming does become standard, I'll just not bother with new games anymore. Maybe I'll finally be able to finish my backlog. Ironically Nintendo will probably get on the bandwagon last, if at all, due to their incompetence with online. Not to mention I think they've given up on consoles, and handhelds would be less likely to handle that sort of thing well.

Meanwhile I'm imagining a world where I can still play a game I bought less than 5 years ago online.

>>15693971

Why would you bother with new games at all? I've been playing old games for over ten years now - only come on here to see fellow anons hilariously tear into the shit like this. New games haven't been worth playing in ages - you're not missing much if you just move on now.

This is a fucking horrible idea, enjoy your input latency and have fun trying to not kill yourself from frustration.

Just boycott it.

>>15693971

Ross is an idiot trying to make a stir for internet gibs though, the guy sounds like he has a mental disability when he talks.

>>15666451

I'm genuinely terrified now

I imagine a world without an occult, Satanic cabal ruling behind the scenes pushing for a socialist communist marxist New World Order by destroying the Four Pillars of mankind (Family, Religion, Nation, Race).

I imagine a world without the Illuminati/Freemasons/Jesuits/Kabbalists/Gnostics/Rosicrucians/Knights Templars/Black Nobility concocting wars and misery.

>>15711525

It will be a reality when (not if) White People kill them all.

>>15711492

>>15666451

There is no reason not to be blackpilled about the future now. Non-cloud gaming will become literally impossible in the future. NPCs will never fight back against this and everyone knows it. Despite what autists say, cloud gaming WILL become the standard in a few years. In the end, everything is fucked forever.

Fox Engine is just a good engine. Too bad its being rapud

What the fuck is even going on in this image?

>>15731987

I think the idea is quadrupling every pixel gets you a super sharp upscaled 4k image.

basically troll physics: 2018 edition

>>15731987

>>15732194

It's comparing upscaling by interpolation/sampling and just a simple integer multiplication.

>>15665027

This. I can't remember the last time I bought an EA game.

>troll physics

I miss those old threads on /b/ from all those years ago. Back before reddit ran trollface and other reaction macros clean into the ground as their "OC."

>a decent engine with a lot of untapped potnetial

>used to for their crappy dude zombie lmao and pachinkoshit gayms

This timeline is such a joke, that the jokes write themselves.

>>15664981

Ironically GPUs and CPUs along with game development have stagnated to the point where 5+ year old systems still run games fine.

>>15667682

Even if they somehow succeeded, it would only work in the US at most. Europe, Russia and even Brazil would be using hardware for ages until their infrastructure was up to snuff, and these companies would be totally retarded to stop selling to those markets.
