Digital Foundry: Last year was a disaster for PC gaming: Here's How Things Need to Change (PC trails PS5 in performance and optimization)

[Bodycount611]

Was a pretty rough year for the Mustard *ahem* I mean master race last year, with a slew of disastrous and broken PC ports.

Alex goes over a bevy of issues from broken ports, stuttering issues which have plagued and decimated all Unreal Engine games on PC, and a lack of general interest from developers.

Sad to see that PC gamers had to suffer through this. Do developers just not care about PC?

 

[KiryuRealty]

Alex can get fucked.

 

[Satoru]

Alex Bugaga crying again. It's just lighting bro.

It’ll be really funny to see his mental state as the dedicated PS5 games start coming out in numbers this year. PC can’t be optimized like PS5 due to architectural choices Cerny made in the PS5. The PC Hamster Race just has to hold the L forevermore.

Development for a simple platform triumph over abstraction layers…

Shocked.

Don't forget people saying Returnal would be EZPZ to port to PC and then it requires 32GB ram to run on recommended specs.

Yeah, that cracked me up. Why do people underestimate Returnal so badly?

 

[Satoru]

Because it was not made by 343 industries. If it was it would be game of the generation.

Why does it require that?

 

[KnittedKnight]

He prob enjoys the top comment suggestion.

When there is no alpha overseer you get those results.

 

[Bodycount611]

Those Unreal engine stutters. MY GOD. Stuff like that is completely unplayable.

 

[Satoru]

Why does it require that?

Because it probably needs to have a lot of shit in ram to compensate for slower IO.

 

[ethomaz]

Why does it require that?

Because it probably loads everything in the RAM instead of stream on the fly from SSD.

God forbid paying premium for a PC to lag behind a console lmao

More money than brains makes for some good laughs for those observing from the sidelines!

imagine being a "PC Master Race" enthusiast and crying over how games cannot run well on a 2000 USD PC.

If they cancel all the PC ports, then there will be no bad PC ports and it's way easier.....

Problem solved, you're welcome.

I ... think that's exactly the point of the video .. if you're paying 2x, 3x times over the price of a console, the least you should have to expect is a consistent experience.

Hey, if they won’t be happy when they do get the ports they begged for, fuck ‘em!
