One relic from the era of the micros (speccy, amiga, c64 etc) is seeing games with a huge-ass logo of the same game (optional: the developer logo too), somewhere on the screen.
Imagine playing, IDK, 007 First Light and there's a massive 007 logo and a iO software logo around the screen.
@leggy2fast ridiculous that's screen real estate they could sell to advertisers now!
@kieran I know right? But hey, if you play the season pass you can have custom borders instead! (they still contain ads)
@leggy2fast NO HATS NO SALE
@leggy2fast Well, you've got to do something to reduce the number of pixels you have to update every frame...
@darkling See, instead of chasing DLSS, upscaling resolutions and all that, we should really re-embrace having a nice, artsy border. render my game in 720 vertical and give me some nice art haha
