      FromSoft games like Dark Souls and Elden Ring, curiously, don't do this. If you crouch while firing a bow at a ledge with enemies below you, the arrows will often hit the ledge even if you have your reticle aimed directly at your target. It feels really weird and is kinda annoying.

  • @corkbulb2895
    @corkbulb2895 8 месяцев назад +119

    The Crash Bandicoot remake actually didn't affect the "coyote time" at all. What happened was they changed Crash's hitbox from a square to round, and crash can only jump when his hitbox is touching ground. Therefore, the flat bottom square hitbox of the older game made it so you could stand and jump much farther from the edge of a ledge than in the remaster. The rounded hitbox of the remake also makes landing a jump much harder, because crash will slide back and off the ledge if he doesn't land beyond the front rounded half of his hitbox. This actually really messed up the difficulty and certain levels like the skyward ascent stage was near impossible. They actually had to go back and modify the game in an update because of this.

    • @pyropulseIXXI
      @pyropulseIXXI 8 месяцев назад +8

      I've never even heard of such nonsense as calling that mechanic 'coyote time.' Also, a lot of his explanations are pure nonsense, like claiming Mass Effect 1 limits your run speed because otherwise the game wouldn't be able to load, or claiming need for speed nitro does nothing; it boosts acceleration, not speed.

    • @corkbulb2895
      @corkbulb2895 8 месяцев назад +21

      @@pyropulseIXXIWell "coyote time" is a real game mechanic programmed into games since, well, platform games existed. Like, 40 years ago games were programmed to allow jump inputs to be accepted after the game character's hitbox stopped contacting ground. And more games than I can possibly list use such a mechanic. A good example is Doom 2016 and Doom Eternal. There is literally a special invisible mesh box you can place near an edge (or anywhere actually) in a map editor that allows Doomguy to jump while inside it. This is so you can jump more easily during the first person gameplay, as it is EXTREMELY hard top tell when your character's legs walk off ground. And regardless of what you believe, sprinting in Mass Effect DOES NOT increase movement time, acceleration or max running speed. It only does so in combat. As the video explained, outside of combat in the open world, the game deliberately limits your speed to allow adequate time for more of the world to load properly. You can test this for yourself by setting up your character in the open world at the same spot and time yourself how long it takes to reach the same point, running vs sprinting. The times will be the same. Again, this was explained and demonstrated in the video.

      @@pyropulseIXXI Just because you haven't heard of something before, doesn't mean it doesn't exist. The first game with _significant_ coyote time was A Boy and His Blob: Trouble on Blobolonia all the way back in 1989 on the NES (of course we didn't call it that back then). Celeste (2018) is probably when the term became mainstream, and is perhaps the most famous coyote time game of all time. And I'm not sure if the Donkey Kong Country series counts? You have to roll off cliffs to be able to get your jump, you can't just run... maybe we could call it "donkey time?" This part isn't directed at you anymore, Pyro, I'm just rambling BTW. Or if it does count, then the Donkey Kong Country series actually has the most coyote time of all video games to date... if I'm not mistaken.

    25:50 The "neat little trick" to only render what you can actually see has been used in virtually every videogame that has graphics more advanced than the 70's Pong. Vanilla Doom and Quake have it, all Half-Life games and their derivatives have it, and every other such game does, modern or old. It's built-in into Unity and other engines. Games don't render everything behind you, objects behind buildings that you can't see, and even the backs of the buildings themselves.

    • @WaterCrane
      @WaterCrane 11 месяцев назад +19

      Indeed, it's a fairly fundamental principle of 3D graphics. Even early versions of OpenGL had an instruction called "glFrustum" which essentially set up the field of view (this was phased out when programmable shaders were introduced). The other effect you mentioned is "occlusion culling"... not rendering objects that are completely obscured by other objects or which are elsewhere in the level. Doom and Quake uses BSP trees for this, while the Unreal Engine uses "portals" to segregate different parts of the map.
      I think what the narrator was trying to get at was not so much not drawing what's outside the frustum, but selectively loading assets just before they come into view and unloading them as they fall out of view, taking advantage of the fact that players tend to turn relatively slowly rather than snap into a specific view, although this is mostly to save memory than be an outright performance gain, since loading assets can cause significant overhead if you're not careful. "id Tech 5" (Rage) infamously didn't do this too well, as you would experience visible texture popping if you turned quickly.

    • @DMahalko

      Most game surfaces are one-sided, with the back being transparent. If the face is turned more than 90 degrees away from the camera, you can't see it, so it isn't drawn. Games generally don't do reflections in glass or mirrored surfaces, because then this facing-away render-saving trick doesn't work.

      In reality, any skill-based game would result in one of them wiping the floor with the rest of them which wouldn't be much fun for the whole family. So they intentionally designed it so that it was always a close match not matter how good or bad you were at it.

    Rubberbanding in Mario Kart also has a breaking point. If you get too far ahead, it starts treating you as if you're behind. Generally, I would start dead last, get the ultimate boost, then get to first, then blow away everyone at the shortcut/cheat spot using the boost to permanently separate me from the pack. Sometimes Toad or a light racer would get fast and leave everyone else behind too.

    I write strategy guides, and so it was my job to test the permadeath mechanic in Hellblade to see how many times you could die before losing your progress. So I figured out pretty quickly that there was no actual permadeath mechanic, and it didn't affect me while I was playing.
    However, I will point out that this wasn't so much a lie as a misdirection.
    The game says, each time you fail the rot will grow. If the rot reaches Senua's head, her quest is over, and all progress will be lost.
    Nothing here is untrue. It's just that the rot cannot reach Senua's head because you fail during the course of the game. And to be fair, the game never says that it can. It just says the rot will grow. It doesn't say it will expand to her head.
    At the end of the game Senua dies in the final battle. It's an unwinnable fight. Enemies respawn endlessly, and you fight on forever until you get hit and don't dodge away before an enemy does a finishing move on you. When she dies here, the rot reaches her head. Her quest then ends, and you lose all of your progress, as this game does not contain any post game content, so your save becomes useless. If you want to continue to play, you have to start over.
    The game does exactly what it says it will do. It just leads you to believe that you can fail and trigger this mechanic by playing badly, while the truth is that the mechanic is set to happen at a specific point in the game.

      I disagree. And even if you're right, it backfired nonetheless.
      I was terrified when I read the info lines at the beginning. I played extremely cautious.
      About a quarter in, I realized that the rot didn't grow more than once when repeating the same battle. So, it DIDN'T grow "each time you fall". AND that it actually decreased when not dying for some time.
      At that point, the game lost any sense of dread to me. It actually became boring.

    FYI, old 8-bit computers and game consoles indeed didn't have any RTC (real time clock). Timing had been done in various ways; most often, it was derived from the vertical or horizontal TV output sync signal.
    See, analog TV based on a vacuum tube (aka CRT) literally prints each frame on the display using a stream of electrons fired from the "electron gun" cathode at the display anode. (In fact, it's simply rather high anode voltage that pulls them from the cathode with a little help of the field modulation, but that's maybe going too technical.) The stream is directed by electromagnets; where the electrons land, a pixel shines up. The whole frame is printed by lines. Whenever the electron stream jumps at the next line, a "horizontal sync" happens. When the whole frame is printed, a "vertical sync" happens. And when they happen, a "HW interrupt signal" is (may be) sent to the CPU, which then stops its current work and executes the appropriate registered interrupt handler. As the frame rate is fixed (defined by the TV standard, typically 25 FPS for PAL and SECAM), so are the synchronisation signals frequencies; and thus, they are usable to keep track of time (well, let's say reasonably well).

Every time I hid behind a box and shot over said box, AI enemies would notice me a lot slower. Eventually I’d see my Spartans’s bullets come out of the very top of their model instead of their gun. It made practical mechanical sense at least. I’d rather be able to more easily shoot over cover then grapple with realism.

      depends what you want out of the game. A game like Halo, which is entirely fantasy, would not do well with any sort of realism being forced. Where as games like Red Orchestra, Rising Storm, Arma, and Hell Let Loose are more bogged into realism and have actual ballistic simulation that do not need a center-of-the-screen trick and are able to line up with the sights of the game.
      Truth is it's just easier to design the game to read what a crosshair is pointed at, than to simulate a bullet leaving from the barrel of the gun model to the point of aim. (though these games usually have actual bullet drop mechanics)

In almost every videogame environment the distances you have available to you are simply so short that a modern bullet from a modern gun would reach its target. The average bullet has a speed of 1,200 m/s. Yes, over a kilometer per second. Meaning that 350 meter shot in Apex legends should hit in 0.29 seconds. This is almost the same as human reaction time (0.2 seconds flat), which means at that range, the shot should connect almost faster than you can perceive. Almost no videogames have ranges that far. Most of the time you're fighting at ranges smaller than 100m.
      There is absolutely no reason to be doing physics calculations for distances where IRL bullet drop and deviation are impreceptiably small, and travel time is so fast a human literally cannot perceive it. To "fix" this, game devs make guns shoot EXTREEMLY slow, and widely innaccuratly. Videogame guns are almost never EVER even close to a real gun. Which is incredibly frustrating for many people who like guns. And that's before nonsense like automatic weapons doing less damage than single shot weapons that use the same round and have the same barrel length...

      The bullets that spawn on the gun in FPS games are pure cosmetics, they just trace a line from your camera to the direction forward because naturally you want your gun to hit what you're aiming at

    As someone who played every Need for Speed title post 2003 at least once such as Underground 2 and Most Wanted 2005, and some other NFS titles religiously such as Heat, I never knew the nitrous didn’t actually do very much. Maybe it does in later games, but in the older ones it makes sense why it wouldn’t.

    • @TWEAKLET
      @TWEAKLET 11 месяцев назад +2

    • @carlosdasilva2409
      @carlosdasilva2409 11 месяцев назад +2

      It does work. I have tested because I am playing Underground 2.
      Nitrous does work as people stated, as it decreases the time you take to get from point A to Point B (tested it in a straight road)
      Hitting the wall in first place makes the rubberband even more obvious
      And hard mode turns some drag races (randomly) impossible to win, especially in early races where you'll be facing Skylines, Mustangs, Subarus, and Evos when you barely have the first mods available. Restarting after losing doesn't help so when that happens you have to quit and come back in again and hope the impossible race isn't the first one you're playing for your session

    17:56 Need for Speed 2 has had a rubber banding mechanic my friends and I used to exploit.
    The mechanic:
    In split screen as long as your car is far behind your opponents car yours is slightly faster to make it easier to catch up.
    Once you cought up both cars drive the same speed (I really felt my car slowing down).
    This only happens when both players drive the same car (McLaren F1 372km/h top speed).
    The exploit:
    The race starts but only one players drives away.
    The second player remains at the starting/finishing line.
    Once the leading player completes the first lap (Our races got up to eight laps) the second player startes.
    Because of the rubber banding mechanic the second player is faster than the leading player.
    Of course the first lap time is terrible because you have waited but in the second lap you have the chance to set a new record as long as the leading player is not overtaken.
    Sometimes I even started with two laps late to the leading player to max out the effect.
    Do I have to mark out that me and my friends played the crap out of this game?
    And that the exploit only is usable when both players are experts on the track?
    Good times 😁

      One of the things that frustrates me the most in terms of time is on the pro evo games, say you have 5 minutes of extra time at the end of the match so if you are 1-0 down needing to score you think ok I have 5 minutes to score but in that game every match the timer doesn’t count down seconds like normal time it’s in it’s turbo speed so you have no chance of scoring a goal as when it says five minutes it’s more like a few seconds

    24:36 Fire Emblem also does something similar in some of its games. There is a hybrid RNG system instilled that allows them to dynamically alter the odds, if your hit rate is below 50%, the game will only draw on a single random number, giving you the illusion that you are challenging the odds put before you, but 50% and above the game will pull two random numbers to reduce the chance of you missing , making you less likely to miss those 90% hit rates
