No idea what the "poly standard" is these days but either way if the thing is abysmally broken and works worst than porridge, no, we aren´t I am afraid.
And yet they have been "working" on gen 12/Vulkan for years. If it is the ultimate fix they not exactly pushing to getting it implemented. They've been talking about dx12/vulkan since 2015, if not before.
Didn't provide any dates in the article, really just acknowledging it's existance and saying that SC could use it. Vulkan 1.0 wasn't released until 2016 either.
So they were talking about it prior to release, planning for it even. Been working on it for years regardless of whether they started it in 2016 or 2017 and it's still nowhere near implemented. Just like so many other things at CIG, talk, talk, talk.
I keep plugging this game Motor Town. It's low poly, no smooth transition in and out of vehicles, which are things I like to see as well, but the gameplay is so fun, those things dont matter. It has a free demo, even. Very early development, but you'll see with the gameplay that is there, those "neccesseties" are less needed. Vehicles are not empty shells, though. If you dont strap down crates/cargo, it slides as you drive, even...sometimes flying out the vehicle.
If SC is already doing the culling etc properly, then it's doomed...no room for improvement. In EDO, it seems they haven't fully implemented this, which means as they do it more, it'll get better. Oh...did you notice the smooth sitting thing? That's great, even if only on "stationairy" objects. And still more to come.
)Planning for an implementation for when the renderer is ready, this was 2015. There was so much new stuff they had to integrate into their already existing renderer (planets, LZs and so on)
No, they've not been working on it for years lmao. Where are you getting that from? Looking into an API to maybe be used for your game is not working on it for years.
That CIG are not really good with asset budgeting, is rather obvious by now. How it matters when it comes to networking, I am not sure.
That's just... very wrong. Culling isn't the only thing that makes a game perform bad or good. Even though they've added it EDO my FPS stayed pretty much the same, doomed!
Nonsense. Always making excuses for their glacial development.
Sure they have, talking about it for years and claiming to be working on it. Nothing but bait on a hook for their backers.
Not nonsense, those are the facts you're ignoring.
Where? Now you're just spouting boll*cks. No mention at the 2019 citcon, no mention prior to that, like, please, tell me when they actively talked about this again and again apart from that one article from 2015?
Stop trolling Ebob.
When i was young i used to date pretty lasses that had no personality, but those brief relationships had no depth. I matured out of that phase
CIG have been working on implementing Vulkan (and previously DirectX 12 too) into their custom CryEngine build since 2015 - here's Chris saying so himself:
Meanwhile I'd quite happily take a voxel game that delivered all the mechanical features promised by SC. Would probably take a lot less development time.
