"The reaction I had when I saw this video could easily be summarized as a holy shit moment. Microsoft's Unwrap Mosaics is an amazing application with the ability to fully translate video into 3D model surfaces through the use of 2D-to-2D transformation, texture maps, and object-space occlusion masks. Sound complicated? This is something you definitely have to see to believe."

More info from the author of the article, I think: https://www.reddit.com/r/ki...
Quote:
"1) I was told this info from the producer of the game Martin Klíma.
2) He specifically said the game will have only one mode.
3) And this mode is 4K 30 on PS5/XSX and 1440p 30 on XSS.
4) He said that the game is already running north of the 30 FPS cap so the performance should be stable on launch, much better than KCD1.
5) The limitation was XSS because of the 10GB memory. He said that's why they wanted to make the game 25% larger.
6) Speculation on my part: the output resolution is probably upscaled and the reason why there won't be a 60 FPS mode is because it'll most likely be very CPU heavy, like Dragon's Dogma 2 for example."
Doesn't seem like they're adding a 40fps mode on PS5/Series X for launch even if they can handle it.
Remember when xbots were adamant that the series s won’t hold back the gen?
Microsoft just needs to let go of the mandatory parity. Who cares if your grandma doesn’t understand that a game cannot be played on the S. It’s not like it she can buy you a physical game for it anyway. Before buying the game put up a notice that it only works on series X. If you’re buying for a friend-allow for a refund.
Bam. Everyone is happy. Most series s owners are for casuals that want Game Pass anyway and most likely don’t purchase most games.
If the developers want it to run on S, let them figure it out.
“During the event, the Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 producer also revealed that on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X, the game will run at 4K resolution and 30 frames per second“
Another “creative decision” right? 🤦♂️
Come celebrate the 1-year anniversary of Diablo IV and the 2-year anniversary of Diablo Immortal! There are heaps of rewards to mark these celebrations with a bounty of devilish goods across both games.
1 more month then I can celebrate 1 year since i stopped playing and uninstalled the game.
Tales of the Shire has many hurdles to jump to live up to the J.R.R. Tolkien masterpiece, and magical elements might be its most pertinent one.
Looks like MS is poking a finger in the eye to all those critics who say they never invent anything on their own.
@ MaximusPrime who is reporting the article - He does not have to edit anything out since he is just quoting the author.
That creeped me out and fascinated me at the same time. It's like looking at a car accident, it's horrible but you can't look away.
that's really cool tech.
now that is cool
I can't imagine that this is of much interest to that many people as its got absolutely nothing to do with games at all.
For a guy who occasionally does film and advert post processing, like me, its pretty interesting though.
In terms of its 'inventiveness', mosaics are fundamentally well understood, whats new here is successfully 'unwrapping them - though its notable that this only worked is certain circumstances. Its still a nice development of an existing tool set though, and just one tool to add to arsenal for those occasions where it going be the best choice for the job.
