So, Halo 5 has huge maps with fire fight and they seem to be doing fine. Oh yeah, and 12v12 PvP mods with AI. Hmmmmmm
English
-
H5 offloads all of the simulation work to the server, making it more susceptible to lag.
-
And Bungie is using an old broken system. Imagine that...
-
Except they're not, which you'd know if you looked at any of their tech talks.
-
So why do we not have larger matches, if there is no technical reason to not have them?
-
Because larger !-> better
-
small doesn't equal better either. You need the right map to suit the player count. That being said, I like the chaos of larger matches. I much prefer 6v6 to 3v3. 4v4 is okay, but I do not think that every game mode should be 4v4. Mostly because this is a social game, it it limits the number of friends I can play with, and I would like to be more inclusive with who is my games, but a smaller head count forces me to do the opposite.
-
No, it doesn't. But small team vs large team is design decision, not a technical one. I assume.
-
Any of "their teck talks" lol I've heard of gamers being gullible, but this puts the frosting on the cake LMFAO. Thank you sooo much :)
-
😂👍🏼 Brainwashed much?
-
Yes, Bungie is sending their engineers to lie at industry conferences for the sake of making their game look good. And nobody has ever caught them. -blam!- off.
-
It's called marketing. You say what will sell games. Rememberwhen promoing D1 when they said, "if you can see it, you can go there"? It's not like they don;t have a history of overstating what is possible in game.
-
You don't send marketing folks to industry conventions.
-
You don't think they go to they conferences to hype they game and drum up sales? Really?!
-
No, I don't, because conferences vet submissions in advance. You can't just show up and start presenting. A discussion of asset pipeline failures or networking models isn't going to hype the game up either because the layman doesn't care how they made the game. They care how the game ended up. And all of these talks are given after the game's release.
-
So, what is the point of going and showing off their tech unless it is a path to monetizing it? What is the company's encentive in presenting?
-
To share knowledge with other devs, get feedback, and (sometimes) entice them into applying for a job. It's totally par for the course in the tech industry.
-
You mean, share technical details with their competitors?
-
Yep. They're probably not giving out the $1m secret techniques, granted, but people share technical tips all the time.
-
So, again, what is the motivation, other than to show off the networking or graphics to get people exited about the game? Is Bungie licensing it out for other companies to use?
-
They're advancing the state of the art, like every other company. Maybe this isn't the norm in whatever field you work in, but it is and tech and academia. They also don't "show off" the networking and graphics. They do shit like "here's an hour long presentation on why we used a floating cursor in Destiny" or "we made an out-of-game audio mixer for development" or "here's my approach to balancing the sniper rifle" or "here's how we handled rendering for last-gen vs current-gen consoles". The layman neither cares about nor understands that. If all they did was fellate themselves, they'd quickly be uninvited.
-
I work in tech. And the only tech conferences I've been to are to show off a product or educate in how to use a product or to recruit. Showing off next gen is still showing off a product. In other words, marketing.
-
I'm so sorry you've only gone to shitty conferences. In other words, I don't believe you.
-
Industry conventions are all about informing others in the industry with talks and presentations. The topics are usually long and technical with the designers, not marketing puff pieces. There's talks about player segmenting (which is probably why we got the changes we have now to PVP), designing the UI, the testing and various builds of the game, and much more at GDC.

Editado por adam3ros: 7/27/2017 2:47:41 PMAgain, to what end? How does the company benefit? These are internal liraries and functions they are showing off. It provides the Bungie no benefit showing this unless they are planning on selling their engine and showing off how to use it and what it can do, or to show the tech press what is possible and to build hype with the players, or show people what they would be working with if they came to work for Bungie. It still boils down to marketing.
