    @thegreedyg103 said in Feature Premiere - Next-Gen Thread:

    The "Next Gen" improvements are basically non existent. What a let down. Especially graphically.

    I agree with you, TheGreedyG103. Stadium Creator is one feature, and I understand it required the new systems in order to run, but that is not the definition of "next-gen". Agreed, this stream was a letdown, and it didn't answer the technical questions I wanted answered. It was a Stadium Creator stream, not a "next-gen" stream.

    Coincidentally, here are the questions I want answered and was expecting some answers in the stream about that were not answered.

    Okay, so I know 4k@120 is not going to happen this year. However, what about 1440@120 or 1080p@120? Did 1440 get dropped because the PS5 does not support it natively? (The Xbox Series X|S support 1440@120 natively, so I sure hope 1440 (balanced) was not dropped in '21.)

    1440@120 or 1080@120 is a cakewalk for the next-gen Xbox systems, with tons of horsepower leftover to still run SC. In addition, Microsoft has a 120fps patch for Xbox Series S|X that can make games be able to support 120 w/ minimal effort by the development team. Does the Xbox Series S|X version support this, and if not, why not? These are technical questions that I'd expect/want answered in a "next-gen" stream.

    Instead, all we got was a 30-minute advertisement/commercial for Stadium Creator.

    Could not have articulated it any better. Let's go even further beyond that. How were there no updated textures? Why does the dirt sitting on home plate still look so artificial? Why are there not any cloth physics? Why is their a lack of Ray Tracing? This game will be killed by reviewers.

    I watched the stream but I didn't see if you could do this but can you make a dome in the stadium creator?

    Thanks

    For your questions below, I'll take a swag/guess at answering them.

    So, the Playstation runs a version of BSD.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PlayStation_4_system_software

    For simplicity, BSD is different than Windows, and doesn't have as good graphic driver support. It doesn't have as many graphic SDK's as the Xbox. (I like BSD better than Windows for running on a PC, yet it's a hard sell for me to be the best OS for a console system due to lack of graphic support.) The Xbox runs a version of Windows, which has more graphic software available (DirectX11 and DirectX12, among other graphic libraries).

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xbox_system_software

    So, the differences between the Playstation and Xbox software under the hood are fairly different, which means a fair amount of work for SDS, potentially, to keep things in-sync. (Maybe not, yet I suspect so.)

    Software is developed in layers. '21 is a "foundation layer", as the first port of the game to the new consoles. It's a lot of work to create these initial foundations. Just getting this basic infrastructure up and running is a big development exercise, and SDS deserves credit for doing the ports, cross-play and stadium creator in '21. I will give them that, good job for all of that work. My guess is they worked on the platform ports for years behind the scenes, probably at least 2 years.

    Getting software working in the first "foundation layer" is hard, yet once done very rewarding. After foundation layers, in future releases every year they can really optimize things like graphics that really take advantage of the new consoles. What SDS needs to do to fully advance the graphics is to optimize the program, then re-optimize it, etc. It takes time, yet it is essentially what Microsoft is doing to port the Flight Simulator to the Xbox Series X (they are porting the simulator from DirectX 11 to DirectX 12 to support better multi-threading to make the game more stable, and also playable (great game, but it consumes too many computer resources to be playable right now without DirectX 12).

    https://www.reddit.com/r/MicrosoftFlightSim/comments/lcn1br/can_someone_explain_dx12_and_what_that_will_do/

    https://devblogs.microsoft.com/directx/directx12-and-fortnite/

    DirectX 12 and any similar libraries the Playstation uses support Ray Tracing, and better looking graphics overall. However, it takes time to fully optimize that, which is understandable. In addition to the software side, SDS didn't have many PS5's or Xboxs to develop on the last year, as both platforms are in very short supply. It is very hard to optimize code by simulating it in software when the hardware is not available. So, because there was not much next-gen hardware for SDS developers to be able to use/test on during the game development, that is another reason that the optimizations take time, and I support them. Covid only made the supply shortage harder, in addition to developing new features. This year SDS focused on the software baselines to get the program working. Next year when they have both the hardware and software, they can then optimize things much better. If the chip shortage persist into next year, SDS gets an additional year pass (can't optimize the game on hardware they don't have access to).

    https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2021/04/global-chip-shortage-may-drag-into-2022/

    https://www.theverge.com/2021/4/7/22368552/global-chip-shortage-end-tsmc-samsung-ps5-supply-demand-intel

    Now, my questions about 1080p@120 and 1440@120 are fair questions because those features are in the basic infrastructure that should already be in the current code release along with the next-gen systems. The new next-gen systems give them that capability to the game for next to free, no different than the 4k@60fps, which is given to them by the next-gen system. The Xbox even has code that could help them. I just want to know the basic question of if they used those features in '21, as those are features that interest me.

    "Let's go even further beyond that. How were there no updated textures? Why does the dirt sitting on home plate still look so artificial? Why are there not any cloth physics? Why is their a lack of Ray Tracing? This game will be killed by reviewers.

    Also, SDS can get the 120fps in to '21 if they want, especially for new Xbox players. I hope SDS does the right thing and allow us new Xbox Series S|X customers to run the game at 1080@120, 1440@120 (or 4k@120).

    I don't feel it is sony's obligation to tell others what thier competitors system can or cannot do. SDS = Sony San Diego "not" microsoft or xbox. I feel like from a business perpective it falls into a liability issue at that point.

    They covered the controller and talked about how it's features will be used in game. I think peoples expectation were a little high with next gen games being ready coming out of the gate.

    They talked about a feature people been asking for years and they were able to take thier time and present the creator in a manor to say "we brought this aspect to you at least for next gen." I feel like covid kept alot of developers from being able to meet goals, that doesn't fall on them.

    I would say take it for what is and with everything we all have gone through give a pass to them this year. And be grateful they pushed this feature out for you guys.

    Next year hold them to higher standard if you want to, but personally due to rules from Govt, Head Corporate Offices i just don't think it is fair after what we have all gone through.

    And not to sound to arrogant, but they have showed off alot of changes within the game to this point! So considering the trials and tribulations they busted thier butts for us this year from "my perspective." jmho

    Would be nice to create a stadium with a roof, dome or retractable. I am sure it will be an option in future years.

    Next year hold them to higher standard if you want to, but personally due to rules from Govt, Head Corporate Offices i just don't think it is fair after what we have all gone through.

    And not to sound to arrogant, but they have showed off alot of changes within the game to this point! So considering the trials and tribulations they busted thier butts for us this year from "my perspective." jmho

    "I don't feel it is sony's obligation to tell others what thier competitors system can or cannot do. SDS = Sony San Diego "not" microsoft or xbox. I feel like from a business perpective it falls into a liability issue at that point."

    I understand your statement, yet that is not what I am saying. So, to make a product that is inferior on a competitors platform because your platform can't also take advantage of the optimization to give your product time to catch-up so it could also take advantage of the same optimization due to a design flaw in your own product platform (the PS5)...doesn't seem right.

    Also, in my explanations I give SDS kudos. I fully agree with you that they deserve credit for all they have done the past year, and I have thanked them in multiple posts.

    However, the Microsoft patch to make the game better is coming from Microsoft for free. SDS may just need to compile the code with the optimization from Microsoft for the frames boost. It also appears that the patch can be done relatively easy ......"we can make the experience even better, all with no work required by the developer, and no update needed by the gamer." Sounds like there could be very little for SDS to actually code on their end. (My guess it is a recompile of the code with the optimization enabled.)

    https://news.xbox.com/en-us/2021/02/17/making-backward-compatible-games-even-better-with-fps-boost/

    Maybe I am wrong, and if so I am fine with that, yet a more detailed explanation of the issues and why from SDS is all I am asking for.

    I agree that SDS has worked hard. What I am asking from them are technical answers to very specific technical questions. That doesn't seem too much to ask, especially since they would fall under the "next-gen" umbrella of questions.

    ....and, GrizzBear55, a Forbes Editor basically said the same thing I am saying in the review below.

    The "Next Gen" improvements are basically non existent. What a let down. Especially graphically.

    I agree with you, TheGreedyG103. Stadium Creator is one feature, and I understand it required the new systems in order to run, but that is not the definition of "next-gen". Agreed, this stream was a letdown, and it didn't answer the technical questions I wanted answered. It was a Stadium Creator stream, not a "next-gen" stream.

    Coincidentally, here are the questions I want answered and was expecting some answers in the stream about that were not answered.

    Okay, so I know 4k@120 is not going to happen this year. However, what about 1440@120 or 1080p@120? Did 1440 get dropped because the PS5 does not support it natively? (The Xbox Series X|S support 1440@120 natively, so I sure hope 1440 (balanced) was not dropped in '21.)

    1440@120 or 1080@120 is a cakewalk for the next-gen Xbox systems, with tons of horsepower leftover to still run SC. In addition, Microsoft has a 120fps patch for Xbox Series S|X that can make games be able to support 120 w/ minimal effort by the development team. Does the Xbox Series S|X version support this, and if not, why not? These are technical questions that I'd expect/want answered in a "next-gen" stream.

    Instead, all we got was a 30-minute advertisement/commercial for Stadium Creator.

    I don't feel it is sony's obligation to tell others what thier competitors system can or cannot do. SDS = Sony San Diego "not" microsoft or xbox. I feel like from a business perpective it falls into a liability issue at that point.

    They covered the controller and talked about how it's features will be used in game. I think peoples expectation were a little high with next gen games being ready coming out of the gate.

    I hear ya man i'm not calling you a naysayer or anything just pointing out how i viewed it and based off history i've had with franchie. But how are they supposed to answer your question about resolution when next person might have a different setup than you? Surely you can't expect them to talk about every tv or monitor on the market? Like i said Covid couldv'e kept them from doing some things.

    I am optimistic and i think you will be pleased when you get it. Look at it this way, they had the specs for ps5 long b4 public did since they are Sony affiliated.

    As far as that Editor goes eh it's one critic from someone who probablly vlogs as a side job, and probabally doesn't spend more than 100 hours on game.

    As far as that Editor goes eh it's one critic from someone who probablly vlogs as a side job, and probabally doesn't spend more than 100 hours on game.

    Console resolutions are standard, as they are controlled by the operating systems and windowing systems. All they have to do is explicitly state what they support. Great, we know 4k@60 .... yet they should also mention the other resolutions and frame rates that the game will support.

    Also, they would not have to mention every TV in the world, they would only have to state which resolutions and frame rates the game will support, on which consoles. The consoles then drive those rates out to the display ....and it's up to the display whether they can handle them or not. The highest available configuration will be negotiated between the console and the display, so they don't have to answer the question for every TV. All I am asking them to do is explicitly state what the game will support going out from the console, and if the spec isn't what it could be, why not, ....and if they can install the patch to make it better if they can (or an explanation of why the patch wouldn't solve the issue if they can't go that route).

    Also, they had the hardware specs for both systems around the same time they got access to the software SDK's for the port. They had to sign NDA's and had MOU's in place to not talk about the specs externally, yet they have known for quite some time.

    I'm not trying to discredit what you are saying i understand your concern. But it's your concern (Your meaning fans not you specfically) If it was something they couldn't do for whatever reason we won't know until game comes out. But to be honest i would rather hear about the features of game rather than something that may not even be an issue.

    Like I said i am very optimistic about it b/c i feel if it was an issue i think they would've discussed it, but b/c they didn't i like to think that they were excited about the stadium creator feature and just wanted to share it with us.
