I wonder if they’re still dealing with engine limitations? Not excusing them, because the feedback is actually on point if you see the screenshots/trailer. But I’m wondering if there’s a poly count limit or something.
They’re clearly bolting on the graphical improvements on top of this antiquated engine, rather than rewriting it. I wonder if they need to “trick” the engine (like with RTX Remix, where the game isn’t “aware” of the changes).
I don’t think so. They’re quite cheap when it comes to knocking these out, and didn’t have a higher poly model to go off like they did with Tomb Raider or Soul Reaver.
I’m still salty over how many tweaks they could have made to improve that and didn’t bother.

These are the recommended system requirements. Not sure what they are doing behind the scenes but they are absolutely ridiculous for a game of this scope.
NotKyloRen@lemmy.zip 3 weeks ago
It’s even dumber: look at the minimum requirements, too. The insane difference between the minimum and recommended tell me that it’s the original engine with a ton of shit bolted on top.

That’s the only reason they’d recommend a 2080 or above – just sheer brute force. I hope I’m wrong, but I smell an unoptimized rerelease. Someone mentioned this studio remastered a Star Wars game (I forget which) and apparently it didn’t go well.

Aspyr is the company, it’s not really a ‘studio’ - they’re a porting house that used to port PC games to MacOS, poorly (but beggars could not be choosers in the post win95 world, crappy Aspyr port or none at all)

I didn’t realize it was Aspyr (like you mentioned, I’m familiar with their earlier Mac ports of Windows games). Still sucks.

make sure you put remarks under every one of my comments, you forgot some.
duhlieluh@lemmy.zip 3 weeks ago
it says switch, thanks for the positive comments and the obvious conclusion i am working PR on fucking lemmy, lmao. i was just trying to figure out where all the unfounded hate was coming from, i have deducted that i am reading comments from a bunch of pissy pants who need something to complain about constantly. truly incredible and insightful knowledge you have given and obviously taken the time to look at yourself.
