Modern Games vs Old Games | Lost Technology Edition

Опис:

Comparing new games from 2020 to the present with old games from 1996 to 2018, this video examines how certain technologies have disappeared or fallen out of use. The focus is on the tools, tricks, and techniques that once created immersive experiences, and whether the industry’s shift toward cost‑cutting has led to a loss of depth in areas like AI, destruction, and environmental interaction. The discussion covers artificial intelligence (0:32), optimization and engine comparisons between Crytek and Bethesda (3:14), destruction mechanics (3:46), GPU evolution from Nvidia’s early days to now (6:49), environmental detail (7:15), a second round of optimization with Valve and Epic (9:58), planar reflections (10:34), online co‑op evolution from Bungie to 343 Industries (11:47), fluid dynamics (12:29), backward compatibility trends with Sony (15:04), and attention to detail and miscellaneous topics (15:37), before concluding with an outro (18:55).
