A lot of old games looked amazing because they would "bake" the lighting effects into the map. Basically it does a bunch of calculations at map compile time to see how the lightning from the lava should look on the walls, and it colors the walls like that. It would take like 20 hours to compile a map for Counter-Strike or Team Fortress Classic because it had all of these lighting calculations. The only downside of doing this is that baked lighting effects do not cast shadows. Most gamers really don't care about shadows. I can enjoy the environment with the shadows cast by the environment (baked) even if it doesn't have shadows cast by the player (dynamic). Modern games seem to skip all of that and just force the GPU to calculate everything on the fly. You get a game that looks the same but the GPU demands are 10x higher.

best game ever 👍 👍

I'm still waiting for my parents to drag that big CRT down from the attic, they told me they'd get it 3 years ago but they STILL haven't gotten it. I've been thinking about just doing it myself atp 😭

I'd like for the video creator to turn on auto-captioning for this insightful video.

none of these points matter, just get good at the game, i agree with you but i cant help but feel lost to why someone would care so much about what monitor they use, it can blur all it wants all i need is some great colors. appreciate games as an artform, not some technical mumbo jumbo BS

I think there are only 2 engines that run like butter, ID-tech and Source. In times like these were almost every new AAA game is a stuttery mess even on the best hardware available, it feels soo good to play titles like Titanfall 2 and the new DOOM / Wolfenstein games. Sadly the updcoming Indy game on Id-Tech doesn't look too hot, imho it looks worse than the New Colossus, while the upcoming Doom Dark Ages looks like a big leap over Eternal. I wonder why Machinegames doesn't seem like to have access to the same engine improvements, cause obviously their engine version is struggling to render large areals and characters.

Raylib is also an amazing engine-like library you can use. Its brilliant in all aspects.

the song when you started talking about doom 3 hurt my ears about 27:30

try bevy, almost every feature is a plugin

Cant wait for voxels to take over

computer company id software lost relevance in computer games by artificial intelligence the first programmers left the company by 2011 year that's why young programmers are flying on automation it's better for Polish computer companies and Polish programmers Polish people by hand on the keyboard will make the best computer games designed from scratch

CRT do have lag though. The problem with the "no lag" assertion is that it isolates only 2 sources of display lag: display processing and pixel response. The scanout time still applies, i.e. the time it takes to actually draw the picture line by line. This takes ~16 ms at 60 hz. With a modern display, e.g. a 240 hz OLED, scanout takes 4 ms and the game doesn't have to run at 240 FPS to take advantage of that. Unlike a CRT with fully analog signal path, display processing and pixel response time are not zero, however on a good modern display this adds no more than 1-2 ms altogether. So the total end-to-end display lag would be around 5-6 ms. Even a 120 hz CRT is slower than that. Note that this is the best case scenario for a CRT - some of the later CRTs also perform digital signal processing, adding significant extra lag like an older LCD. Of course this doesn't apply if the source device can't drive a high refresh rate display, e.g. if it's an older console.

Nice troll :D

What's the game at 18:31

Who's here after Capcom used the RE Engine for the next Monster Hunter? 😑

Yeah, as a very unsuccessful solo struggling gamedev guy here. I was thinking of using the cheap method of rendering And then I noticed the game you were talking that have a measly frame rate of 59 in the year 2024. Maybe using the Opengl Vertex Array Object rendering is not so bad, Yeah I know it's harder to implement But why waste the unused processing power? and yeah, I know, I'll never finished a game project.

amigo y esos cambios que recien estoy empezando a notar como se hacen???? xq he encontrado otros mods donde el daño que hacen los enemigos es brutal en verdad es para irse con cuidado y tmb el final boss de cyberdemon siempre me habria gustado tener una lucha usando todas mis armas no solo el cubo de almas como se puede modificar esos detalles hasta la misma resistencia de los demonios aumentarles mas vida mencionastes en tu video creo que el zombie en llamas le distes mas resistencia xq no tmb hacer eso con todos total lo q abunda regular en este doom 3 es la municion seria emocionante gastarla en esponjas de balas con cualquier demonio

I have feeling that more experienced game dev just seasoned out or even burn down, what we get average developer who struggle with all of details and complexity.

So CRTs are better only because of 2 qualities… latency and no motion blur? Yet they are heavier, consume more power, screen calibration needed for some games, in most cases there’s no widescreen. Additionally the CRT market is going up so good luck.

back in the days we used r_picmip 5 to remove most of the textures to gain best possible performance ... omg - that was more than 20 years ago

great video but the schizo whispering music was alittle freaky

Issue is not that Jaguar's hardware was not powerful enough as was there were hardware bugs since Jaguar's "CPU"/GPU and "DSP"/CPU did 26.6MIPS each that is far more than 486 and 486DX along still far better IPC than 486DX2 and 486DX4. Though even without bugs Jaguar's architecture was flawed and in part due to cost saving measures to achieve 250USD price point in 1993 when there were many consumers that would be willing to pay 400-450USD(Sega Genesis and CD together) as too Neo Geo considering games or at least hardware capabilities. A lot could have had been done, but this is just benefit of hindsight.

20:16 that limitation is a map editor limitation if i can recall correctly more than a rendering limitation

Great video. I agree there is a huge gap for simple and fast engines. An other engine I would recommend is Love2D with the g3D. It can run on a Raspberry Pi Zero which has only 500MB RAM. I was shocked when I seen a full FPS game powered with g3D runs like butter on the Pi Zero.

What a surprise to see someone else talk about Tilengine! It’s a hidden gem of game engines

OOP. It is OOP. Games are shit because of that ideology. There is too much to explain, but just as a glimpse behind the curtains: OOP is bad in every aspect it claims to be good and abysmal in every aspect it doesn’t recognize/respect.

Why are things "age old problems" still around. Well, software ATROPHIES as talent leaves or modifications are made. Doing anything the right way might only before for the next feature, and doing yet another feature could take yet another rewrite... Essentially iterative development is messy, and waiting for enough new white papers, hardware acceleration, asset pipelines, to mature to then implement in a fresh engine. It's all expensive. Most of the time the devs can't even figure out how to fix a shoddy codebase at an architectural level that will solve everything. Also patents exists, language barriers. Also "tribal knowledge" of a code base is lost. Crysis made use of specific acceleration features that sort of don't exist and have to be emulated. This slows things down, and bypassing them kind of breaks the visual direction of that game.

People has always been laughing at me for writing my own engines. But this is why, not that i am a carjack by any means

Dragon ball sparking zero, a toon shaded game requires me to run my 3090 full power for just 4k 60fps, absolute insanity. A game like this on a sensible custom engine should run 4k60 on something like a GTX1080 Whenever more power is available, lazy developers will use it for cost reduction first and foremost, performance is only an afterthought. Id Tech engine is amazing but I've no interest in those old school FPS games.

28:00 - 29:00 bro. what is this. massively triggering my tinnitus

One thing to keep in mind is that just because the end result of a modern game engine looks like a game from the 90's, doesn't mean it is doing anything close to similar to a game from the 90's, even if it's rendering at the same resolution. Just a surface level example, the Genesis (Megadrive)/SNES had specific purpose built hardware for blitting sprites to the screen. Modern GPUs don't work this way, they work on geometry primitives and bitmaps. What may have been a handful of assembly instructions before being handed off to bespoke hardware circuits then, is reems of code for projecting geometry and a full pass through a fully programmable rendering and rasterisation process today. As with everything else, we're moving towards generalisation at the expense of the performance benefits that specialisation brings.

Nice video!, but there are some "facts" that are not correct. Any VGA card could run games at 640x480, as it was part of the VGA standard, the issue with quake was the CPU power. In the PS2 generation it was pretty standard for PC to run games at 1024x768, we were already in the GeForce 2+ generation.

Falconet looks right up my alley --- wishlisted! You did Duke 3D and Build a bit dirty, though.

i for one want to make a game in gzdoom. after that i might jump to quake 3 engine. i have no interest in modern engines, because more than the quake3 engine can do would just be bloat to me as an aspiring indie dev. minecraft was made in fkn java and it's still around dominating the lives of kids.

"I mean, how un-optimized is GameMaker [...]!?" how did you utter that and not immediately catch onto how or why given that's 8 minutes into a 40 minute video with a faux-documentary intro and extensive triple-a b-roll i don't exactly feel like listening to "gaems noawadays sucxx!!" ad nauseum as if he'd ever even pay lip service to artists getting to make shit faster as if he even gave a shit about artists and not products

idTech is so awesome.. I ran Doom Eternal at Ultra Nightmare settings, 1440p (DLSS Quality), with Ray Tracing at 100+ FPS at all times... had the same experience with the Wolfenstein Games, nothing else performs like idTech games...

your mistake here is comparing normal, mortal, developers to John Carmack

I have a Compaq 7500 that I got for free. I connect my switch and ps3 to it. And the color looked amazing.

Blazing Chrome is not Neo Geo inspired really its More SNES Contra inspired than NEO GEO Metal Slug inspirted. Although of course it takes DNA from both. And yes game maker is a badly written blothy thing. Always been. I mean the people who started out doing was not really "low level" coders. And that is the thing with a lot of tools, they both get to complex, to many people with to little optimisation experience working on them. But that is the nature of most commercial software after some time. Just look at how bad some older phones work with the latest update of the OS.

Nanite Lumen was the way to go as the old methods (even if AI would handle all "manual" LOD generation) the old repbake situations was a dead end. Sure at this overlap point we dont see any big benefits apart from productions wise. But when it matures and more game using it is released it will be more real dynamic unrestricted lighting. Why we focus so much on polycount and texture resolutions vs more dynamic environments in general that is a different question and yes I dont get that.

How much does it cost to license Quake 3?

I can only play Quake 3 for the graphics. I’m not good at it, and I’ve reached the peak of my potential. Believe me, I’ve tried to improve. I still suck after years.

the game looks much nicer than I remember

Woah woah, crts aint ugly []_[]

I was sure you will end up with the Raylib. 😂

Loved the video. Want to point out tho that Riddick: Escape From Butcher Bay was released on XBox before Doom3 (and on Windows slightly after Doom3). It had all the same features that Doom3 had, but also some that Doom3 didn't (cubemap environmental lighting). My favorite being directional based ambient sounds, in the beginning you hear the wind blowing outside and depending which way you rotate the camera it changes how the wind sounds. If I recall from the dev documentary they recorded some of the ambient soundscapes using multiple directional microphones and blended them in runtime based on orientation.This feature is still very uncommon in games or engines today. So it was not just Doom3 that made all these cool features, Riddick was much less known game, but it was a technical beast. It was not just a technical marvel, it was and still is a really good game, where as Doom3 was a disappointment to many, me included. I recommend to look into Riddick: Escape From Butcher Bay, it might blow your mind how technologically advanced it was just around the same time as Doom3.

always remember: the n64's issue was RAMBUS ram.

I am glad the algo recommended me this video. Cheers mate
