Replaying Far Cry 5, downloaded optional 30GB HD textures. I can now see the text on signs and papers instead of being a blurry mess. The problem? They didn’t bother writing any actual words.

    I wish they added an FOV slider to console. 🙁

    I loved it but the tight FOV made me quit T-T

    Interesting
    Are there any improvements you noticed graphics wise?

    lack of details – definitely hallmarks of an AAA game.

    Looks great tho curious how the open world looks for you now is that option available on PS5?

    If you upscale timesplitters 3 through emulation you can see text in the main menu that says stuff like
    ‘Useless shite that means nothing’

    It’s crunch time.

    You have seen your family maybe for 6 hours in the past two weeks, and never when everyone is fully awake. Haven’t shared a meal in months.

    These are assets 755-760 of the 6 million or whatever your project needs, and 80 thousand of them have been assigned to you. Alice crashed out in front of the art director in the team weekly, so… *she’s* probably gone. Her 80,000 are going to have to go somewhere.

    Also your company is being aggressively bought up by Vivendi, Tencent is knocking on the back door, sexual harassment runs rampant across the org, half of your franchises are being delayed, and oh yeah the mayor is up your ass because you’re a loose cannon.

    Do you: faithfully recreate firearms fact sheets? Or do you roll fingers into keyboard and press space a bunch on stuff that won’t be rendered legibly for the vast majority of people who experience your product?
