I dunno man seems kinda5/29/2023 ![]() MS has stated as such this is something that should be considered to be implemented early in a game's development. But again, this is a big architectural change - all textures would have be re-encoded into a new format for one, this would in effect be a 90GB 'patch'. I'd love it if they announced they're working on it, as I don't see really any other way of reducing the CPU load either (assuming this is the main bottleneck). So sure, could they do it? Maybe they could be the second title to employ DirectStorage, and the first to use a significant iteration of it - maybe they want to be the first to market with this - and the first to do it via a patch - and also hope that all GPU vendors have stable drivers for it to, despite never actually being tested in a real-world scenario before now. There is one game shipping with DS, and that was Forspoken, and it didn't even use GPU decompression. Yes - with Directstorage 1.1, that came out of beta all of 4 months ago. I think Andy mentioned occasional frame drops and that’s about it. For now the people at KF who HAVE been playing it have said they’ve had solid experiences. I’m sure the actual issue at hand will be a topic of conversation on an upcoming games daily, gamescast, or PS I Love You XOXO where they’ll have a serious discussion about the state of the port. Anyone who legitimately gets incensed by something like this is taking it much too seriously. These videos are for the people who are already familiar with those running bits and are of course going to mean nothing and feel immature or spiteful to the people seeing them out of context, just as your favorite podcaster’s running bits and humor won’t immediately click to a random person with no context or history. Greg in particular has moments like this where he plays up ignorance and says PCs are just for turbo tax etc, same as when Andy is ironic about PC superiority and such, and SnowBikeMike saying the DualSense is the worst controller ever made or whatever. KF’s always been calling out the chuds that reply to every Xbox and PlayStation tweet, and ironically mocking console warriors. Guy’s having fun! Glad to see him back at it after the past few months he’s had. I also listen to his podcasts! It amazes me that as much good as he does people see him doing his giant little gremlin man heel thing and take it as face value. ![]()
