Destiny pc reveal would be great, give it to me.

 

[angular graphics]

Destiny confirmed for PC, right?

edit: authoring on GPU farm for prebaking. So that doesn't really confirm it for PC I guess

Yes, they didn't confirm it, but IMO it's only a matter of time.

 

[Lucis]

The reveal is probably not single game related, it's also a new technology to make game look better

 

[-SD-]

Destiny PC is old news, guys.

 

[The Dutch Slayer]

Destiny PC is old news, guys.

no because its not official.

Asked the devs myself at Gamescom and they still had a no comment only consoles confirmed at this time comment.

Something like PhysX?

Man, if Destiny had cross-play between PC, PS4 that would be amazing. At least for co-op and instancing. (Obviously pvp would be separated)

 

[Dictator93]

GI works. That makes me happy to an extent.

If the quality is good and it is real time aww yis.

EDIT: it is

That looks expensive.

 

[Dictator93]

This real time GI is super impressive. Damn

 

[artist]

He doesnt know anything.

 

[KKRT00]

GI looks very good. I'm interested in performance cost.

 

[pottuvoi]

This real time GI is super impressive. Damn

Indeed it is.

 

[Kaako]

Not bad not bad.

 

[k4n3]

how did they get jimmy kimmel to be the host .... oh wait ;D

 

[MaLDo]

Twitch is the only source? damn!

 

[deleted]

I can't watch the stream right now, could someone point me to a blog or post the most important stuff?

 

[gatti-man]

But what if it has a significant price tag?

If the 780 receives a good price cut, I might be tempted to get another for SLI. I currently have a seasonic x750. I'm guessing that'll be enough?

Don't care. Anything 1k or under and I'm ok with it.

Has the stream on the same page though.

 

[Zoned]

Holy shit flameworks.

That was impressive...

 

[red731]

All hail indirect lighting and flames that react to geometry.
GI and Flame works!

Thanks, the stream doesn't work at work either way, so that doesn't matter.

 

[KKRT00]

LOL? What? No question about performance cost? WTF?!

 

[Tripolygon]

He didn't even answer the question.

 

[Vulcano's assistant]

Water extinguishing fire is too next gen for next gen.

 

[Dictator93]

This is the stuff I have been looking for in Nextgen more so than texture detail or polycounts.
Simulations and Volumetrics. I am actually surprised they are saying a lot of this stuff is platform agnostic (aka works on consoles and AMD).

Also, the GI is super impressive if they addressed the memory and performance constraints like they mentioned.

LOL? What? No question about performance cost? WTF?!

I would have asked.

 

[Lostconfused]

Water extinguishing fire is too next gen for next gen.

Well because it's more complex than simply objects interacting, they also have to change states.

 

[angular graphics]

Next up: games!

 

[artist]

The flame works demo wasnt impressive. :/

 

[neoexidous]

The flame works demo wasnt impressive. :/

When compared to Deep Down. I agree.

 

[AlfeG]

Flame demo looks bad.

 

[Zoned]

Man why Nvidia doesn't invest in building some PC centric game studios.

With these kind of resources, we should see more impressive looking games for PC.

 

[Dictator93]

The flame works demo wasnt impressive. :/

I think that was an art problem. When games have artists in control of such tech... it would probably look much better (Like deep down).

 

[ghst]

weird how the GPU war is currently shaping up whereby you're gonna go to AMD for optimised low-level performance and nvidia for ultra demanding next level tech.

i already kinda miss homogeneity.

 

[-SD-]

The flame works demo wasnt impressive. :/

Get real artists to do a Flame Works demo and I bet it would look fantastic.

 

[la_briola]

The flames react to other objects in its way. That was the point.

 

[deleted]

Nope. We know about this since Siggraph.

Do we know about it in a 'GTA V is coming to PC because amazon says so' way, or did something leak?

Games that are multiplatform are built to the lowest common denominator (XB1) then features get added back in for PC if we're lucky. A lot of these technologies are simply beyond console level hardware.

 

[pottuvoi]

If one wants to do it properly, yes.

Something like check hit location of water particles and decrease the heat of a corresponding voxel/fuel within fire simulation could be doable.

 

[ichtyander]

I suppose the Panta Rhei fire demo uses a similar (or same) tech, but that probably looked better since it was specifically made by game devs and artists, so a lot more tweaking usually goes into it.

The GI looks damn nice and them bursting water balloons feel pretty impressive. Can't wait for advanced fluid and soft body physics in games.

 

[Dictator93]

Also, for everyone's information:

Repi (lead engine tech for DICE) is most likely there. He commented so on Twitter.

Flying out to Seattle for a few days of deep technical fun discussions, then Montreal for something awesome

 

[KKRT00]

Do we know about it in a 'GTA V is coming to PC because amazon says so' way, or did something leak?

No, i meant that we know that Destiny is using Nvidia CUDA for their AO baking from Siggraph presentation.
We dont know if it will end up on PC, but it would be really stupid from Bungie and Activision to not too. Its perfect game for PC audience.

 

[MutonCommander]

Seattle = Valve?

 

[HariKari]

Also, for everyone's information:

A poster from Respawn was also excited for the event. Hope they don't save the goodies for Friday.

This is why I want GPU manufacturers to invest in game studios to make games "the way they are meant to be played" on PC.

But, but, but DICE hates Nvidia and are totally on the AMD side!

How could he betray AMD now? BF4 isn't even out yet!

 

[artist]

Mark Rein is there too, as per his latest tweet.

 

[Lucis]

AMD paid a shit load of money to get the right to bundle BF4 with their GPU

 

[Killer]

meh. seems like devs conference. Disappointed by AMD and NV showing.

Activision also makes almost every game multiplatform because they love money.
