Diskuze

@ještěr (02.02.2018 10:07): Osobně doufám že GTX1070 utáhne high preset na 60fps (na ultra si nároky nedělám, to je záležitost pro budoucí hardware, ledaže by se někdo spokojil s 30), víc se obávám že ten můj dědeček procesor už těch 60 nedokáže nakrmit. Jinak ta GTX1070 tahá zatím všechny hry na víceméně max detaily (samozřejmě pokud si někdo zapne 8xAA tak jí taky dokáže zazdít).

@Hoonza (01.02.2018 20:27): je to licencovaný, tenhle track není ze hry.

@Guldy (01.02.2018 17:35): akorát nevim proč je unlisted, a zajímalo by mě jestli je posíláte i herním webům, o tom 16 minutovym jich moc (těch mainstream) nenapsalo

wheeew těšing increasing

Smejki se rozepsal o dialozích a proč nebudou tak "cinematicky" perfektní jako ve Witcherovi (a proč je maj slabší i hry od Bethesdy). Je to zajímavý čtení z hlediska designu

I'm not gonna comment on the resulting quality of our dialogues. You be the judges. It's gotten much better in the last months but it will never be Witcher 3. Bear in mind that 99% of all dialogs in Witcher 3 have predefined placement in the gameworld, sometimes even game time (or it's suddenly forced). This allowed the devs to:
- adjust lighting for different conditions (time of day, weather)
- prepare the stage for custom actor movements (Ciri is sitting on this chair, then while geralt is saying B, Ciri will stand up, pick an apple from the table right there and lean against the wall just to the right)
- use a wide variety of prebaked basic stances (again heavily dependent on surroundings) where each comes with a "gesture variation"
All of which results in "cinematic feeling". In other words - every dialog in Witcher 3 is a cutscene.
Cutscenes come with some shortcomings of course. The biggest one is that every NPC with important dialog can be interacted with only in predefined places where they stand 24/7. The NPCs cannot move around or if they do they are confined to a small place and their exact placement is not taken into account anyway (Tris is sleepsin a room during the night or sitting on a chair next to the bed during the day, and if you trigger the dialog, none of that matters). You cannot have a dialog with them at a place of you choosing. The relevant parts of the world are static and inert as fuck, just like in Morrowind. The rest is generated extras. These can move, they don't matter. TTL 20 seconds.
It's not like we couldn't do the same with our dialogs (ignoring limited workforce on our part). Cryengine has very similar tech to the what they've built for their dialogs. We didn't do that for one crucial reason - the core concept of our game is in clash with this.
Just like in Bethesda games 99% of dialogs in our game are tied to NPC who can and do move through the world and you can trigger the dialogs at any time and any place. Be it in the kitchen in the middle of the woods during high noon or on the way between the pub and their home after sunset. Cameras must be placed dynamically, shots must be cut dynamically, it is impossible to tailor lighting to the situation at hand, dialogs cannot take the surroundings into consideration (there's no table with an apple nor a wall to lean against). In that regard I think we nailed the system quite well. Similar to us is Bethesda's Fallout 4 which has taken the lazy route and is simply placing the dialog cameras on either of skeleton bones which are just behind the actor shoulders or defaults to first person. Which results to boring shot reverse-shot cameras and if the actors is jerking due to physics, camera is jerking with them. We have much more complex system which allows for truly dynamic camera positioning independent from actors' state (but computed from it). It should be noted that some dialogs in Witcher 3 can be executed anywhere as well so the game also features a similar but much simpler system and you will notice when it's triggered - the results are most of the time horrible (but it doesn't matter because it's rare).
Many people have expressed wishes along "hopefully Bethesda will learn from CD Projekt and will up their game (and tech) so we could get the next TES more cinematic-y!". No, unless Bethesda rolls back their formula to Morrowind era of static NPCs they will not. Even the almighty and super rich Bethesda can't go down this route. And the thing that Witcher 3 does the same way we and Bethesda do CD Projekt does way way worse (so they should up their game too! :-P).
