  • I know but that doesn’t change the reality. Most PCs don’t come with disc readers anymore. Anyone who does have an external disc drive can already burn a GOG game to disc if they so choose. Or put the game on a usb-stick/SD-card/external drive all of which are more convenient options than using a disc. Shipping boxes for an outdated technology is a purely wasteful exercise for a company like GOG because most of their games are older releases and have no DRM. I see the benefit of discs for new console releases because it allows people to offset the cost of a game by trading it in. That has always been one of the aspects of console gaming. But that doesn’t hold for GOG









  • As I understand it, frame gen doesn’t predict frames but interpolates frames. So it doesn’t “look into the future” but inserts frames between those rendered by the game. With the selling point being 30fps could look like 60fps. The reason this works is because “guessing” what those extra frames between existing frames look like is relatively easy. The game has already done all the hard work of figuring out the actual frames, then frame gen uses a faster algorithm to make the I between frames. Because frame gen adds the frames in between the real frames you can feel more input lag.
