There are games that do that, often called something like “high resolution texture pack”. People usually recommend against downloading them, because any potential increase in quality is usually met with severe performance or load time issues.

Need to enter torpor to actually see this game come out huh?

I think it’s because life sim games are hard to make, and up until recently, no one thought it was worth the effort to make one, when most people would just stick to The Sims. It probably helps that TS4 has been out for so long, and TS5 or whatever they want to call their next one, seems far away.

Practically none really, but there are competitors coming out at least, primarily this and Paralives, probably because people are sick of EA’s shit.

Meanwhile, HL2 RTX Remix…

Other than optimisation, I’m also worried about the gameplay. It’s one thing to have a good character creator and builder, but what about actually playing the game?

Twitch does this quite often, I don’t know why they get called bans either. Nonpermanent “bans” are a thing, but in the case of a widely used service like Twitch I think it’d make more sense to call them suspensions like you said.

Hardware Unboxed video about ray tracing, and whether it’s any good, and a follow up video about the performance cost, and whether it’s worth it. Basically, often no, sometimes yes.

Hate to think what the 60 launch is going to be like, jesus. Paying increasingly more for decreasing quality.

To add to the other comment, publishers can also help with, or wholly handle, marketing too.

What were you doing, to be regularly dislocating your shoulder?

I’ll take it if they give it, but I’m not gonna hold my breath.

If they do it, it would unfortunately still sell like hotcakes, being one of the most anticipated games of the past decade.
