The fake potholes are not a speed control tactic. In fact, they were used as part of a 2007 advertisement for Pioneer Suspension, a vehicle suspension supplier.

This is a highly advanced technique so don't tell anybody about this

you know like when you take an elevator in a videogame sometimes

it was a loading screen all along!

Games slow down/freeze for a fraction of a second when you connect with attacks to give them "oomph" for lack of a better term

Sorry, I'd have to see some evidence before I believe this.

>>380975336
Diversity board pattern. It's trending

sometimes things disappear when you're not looking at them

RTS games like C&C3 have numeric unit/building health which tends to be in the range of 1000-10,000, even for infantry. They use a system of damage types vs armour types to give attacks a multiplier to make it seem like they're tankier/squishier than their numbers would imply.
It lets them easily control how many hits it takes to kill things with different units.

>>380975336
Or you could like.

Use a speed hump or a traffic circle to ensure proper slow down.

>still no arrow stickers that give you a speed boost
Fuck you and your promises

>>380977116
Did you know that some games load while you are playing them?

Insane I know!

>>380977349
This annoys me to no fucking end. Why does this shit exist it completely ruins games for me

yeah, i drive in toronto plenty and they don't need stickers because the potholes are real

>>380977116
anyone who has played mass effect 1 and then subsequently played 2 knows this

While hilarious, I have to applaud it for doing the job.

>>380978329
There's a company working on using biodegradable, non- Newtonian materials for speed bump concepts. It's very interesting. If you're going slow (or whatever the bump is designed for) you won't feel a thing and simply drive ~through the bump, but if you're going to fast, it will act as a traditional speed bump and give you a harsh jolt.

>>380977873
That's just how it works in real life.

>>380977349
>>380978605
Hit stun where the game actually maintains frame rate is fucking sweet though

>MGS4
>frame rate would halve during some cut scenes for added drama
This bothered me and if it were me, I don't see why you couldn't just animate everything slower. They're just cut scenes, so it's not like you'd need anything fancy from the engine, and as long as everything on the screen looks good, no one's really gonna complain

>>380975336
>stickers with such huge defects
What the hell. I can easily see someone swerving to avoid it, and hitting another car. This shit is more dangerous than simply a speeding car

>>380975336
That mirrors in most games are actually just a video input/out put flipped if the game has cameras.

For example, Dues Ex HR while having no mirrors is perfectly capable of them due to how the video cameras in the game work. But devs were to lazy to model the player character correctly so they never put them in.

I have no idea where you fuckers get this "they have to render ever thing twice" BS.

Because speed bumps haven't been proven to cause more accidents than they prevent. People not paying attention is what causes accidents, not speed

Actually, most modern developers fully render a second game on the other side of the mirror. This takes up a significant amount of memory which is why modern games are so short.

>>380977116
Most elevators don't move, they just teleport you to a different place.

>>380981432
Not to mention the additional universes rendered if there is more than one mirror. Or the tangential universes rendered within the mirrors in those mirrored universes. Pretty soon the entirety of every mirror >1 game will be an extensive rendering of a Mandelbrot zoom limited only by the constraints of hardwarer. And it's all thanks to you assholes for demanding in character vanity objects.

AoE II I know uses different unit classes internally, which essentially decides what types of bonus damage (that ignores armor) works against other classes. So anything tagged as infantry takes more damage from Hand Cannoneers and Byzantine Cataphracts, which is pretty simple stuff.

Camels though, including Saracen Mamelukes got taken out of the Cavalry category from AoK to AoC and so instead got relocated into the ship class while giving anti-cavalry units a smaller attack bonus against ships for the intend of them doing less bonus damage against camels. But as a result this made Camelry take bonus damage from building defenses (TCs, Towers, Castles), so they can get fucked up much more easily if you attack bases with them.

>>380976748
You post that is as it was tourist's fault the guy behind him didn't leave enough space to break safely if anything happens.
99% of the time if anyone crashes in your back it's his fault, rare exception being when someone cuts right in front of you then immediately slams on the brakes.

I don't remember the exacts about it but there was some issue about Jarvin's wall where trynd could spin through it and get a fuck ton of CS. It might have been Xerath's Q though. But yeah for a good amount of time they have openly stated that this(using minions as place holders) was something that they did pretty regularly. It hasn't been an issue recently, but a while back it lead to some pretty funny scenarios.

Not really. What would've been genius is them making an engine that can actually handle moving objects, like a train. Instead, they HAD to do it this way. If anything, they're retarded.

I livr in Orlando, this is truth - tourists ruin everything, especially Brazilian tour groups. There are areas I just avoid and go around because the traffic is a nightmare, also it doesn't help that the main highway through town that everyone uses is being reconstructed.

You live in Orlando. Everything's already ruined.

I seriously can't understand how people do this. I like being a good 20 minute drive from large populations, but my place of residence can't be in a place with more than 30,000 people or so

If I was driving and I saw that top section I'd fucking floor it. It's so brazenly fake considering the placement and the size that i'd just spitefully fucking floor it.

I live in a shit town with a bunch of shit potholes, I know a pot hole when I see one.

well, if you go fast enough, you can hydroplane right over the pothole

>What would be genius is expend thousands of dollars and hours in a set piece that the player only sees once.

>>380992678
It messes up with asset loading, so there's a high chance of graphical artifacts or even a crash after you do this trick several times.

>>380992829
It's not a question of making it for only 1 game or 1 setpiece. You will spend a shit ton of money into an engine, and the first thing you want to do is make it futureproof and easily updateable/modulars. The Foxengine for example, is an excellent engine, and even tought it was first used in MGS5, it has been used on PES. Making the engine capable of supporting many type of game is important, because a company do not makes one kind of game only but makes diverse genre.

I dunno man, in Montreal the potholes feel pretty fucking real.

This only applies if you're making an engine. Fallout New Vegas used Gamebryo, they didn't make it themselves.

>>380994932
Thank god. No matter how shitty gamebryo is, i'm confident it's way more usable than whatever Bugsidian would come up with. At least now modders can fix the majority of it.

>>380975336
Player compression, as in funneling. Done well in combination with other aspects of the design there's no need for objective markers no matter how complex the environments.
