    That's probably mostly true but optimisation is becoming a lost art form that some devs just don't know.

    It's a negative feedback loop.

    The less time you can spend optimizing games the less you know how to optimize games. The less you know how to optimize games the more time it takes to optimize games. Optimizing games becomes too costly for management. Goto 10.

        No, it doesn't, lol. I tried to run the demo on the lowest settings, it used all my vram. I can run Red Dead Redemption 2 with my 4GB vram gpu, but I can't run Stellar Blade?

          Stop blaming developers. It’s management that doesn’t want to give the developers the time and money to optimize their game. Devs know how to optimize their game, they aren’t stupid. They can’t do shit if they don’t get the time to work on it.

          Also

          So, ports like Stellar Blade on PC are great for fans to see, and I'm hoping game developers and publishers can look at this as a template going forward.

          Yeah that’s not how it works, you can’t look at other games and see how to optimize your game. Every game engine and game works differently under the hood.

          People often say "developers" when referring to development studios, which includes management. They don't necessarily mean individual programmers.

                  Stellar Blade performs well despite using Denuvo. Imagine how much better it will run when Denuvo is removed.

                  Or it will run exactly the same because it has a minimal performance impact when implemented correctly, which seems to be the case here.

                      Hardly. I've played enough dumpsterfire UE4 ports to know it's no better if the devs don't put the effort in.

                        devs are also given barely any time to do it and have to ship across more platforms than ever. In the age of early access viral hits, optimization is just something no publisher wants to put resources into before they know the game's a success or not.

                        True story, a game I worked on at my last job shipped on Xbox One and PS4, the PS4 version was not even built until a month before shipping.

                            Daily reminder that Chris Sawyer coded Rollercoaster Tycoon by himself in x86 assembly. In a cave, with a box of scraps.

                              Tell that to Gamers™ who harass the low ranking devs when a game comes out they don’t like.

                                      Stellar Blade ships with malware. Nobody should be paying for it or following its example. It’s really distressing that this even needs to be pointed out.
