Read the message again. He already renders everything in 4k before downscaling, so it won't add anything to the existing time. If anything it'll save time because he won't have to downscale the renders to 1080p.

I feel this so much. I think this is the root as to why im able to find enjoyment and entertainment from things that are probably not really that good for alot of people. Like enjoying the character building in this game for instance. As i've had this mind set my entire life when it comes to video games , tv , movies etc etc. It really takes alot for me to say this is bad or drop something i'm getting close to 100 AVN's played since starting to play them last summer and only dropped 1 or 2 and most I enjoyed or liked to some degree.

Summer's Gone is a college game and Lost is a series about a plane crash.
Prove me wrong!

I understood that Ocean was doing the entire 2nd season in 4k, but the conversation was about something else. If you didn’t know, downscale takes no more than 5 seconds, this is all the time that Ocean will save from 1 render.

Nonsense - it is Plan 9 from outer space in a college setting. Sasha is clearly the alien mastermind behind all the strange stuff that happens in SG.
Oh and just for those people who are a bit on the "thinking hurts ma brain"-side:

Why bother with all those technical details? There's no need for such a rant. Relax, and enjoy the game.

the VN has suffer because of the constant writes , re-writes and re-takes Ocean has made to the story and the characters .
the re-writes will continue as Ocean obsession with intertwine both SG and WIAB stories continue.
one thing that always make think about what Ocean thinks it's portraying but actually it's not , it's the Vic accident scene.
we know that MC's trauma has to do with the sense of loss but when Vic accident happens ; MC immediately reacts trying to help her , for Ocean the deep trauma in MC manifest by being very edgelordy .
for me the MC should've freeze right on the spot having a panic attack 'cause MC immediately will relate his sense of loss for Summer to the sense of loss anyone who loves Vic will feel , because Mc assumes that Vic is dead.
and MC should react to help Vic , not when miss Marla screams asking MC for help but at the moment MC looks Vic is moving ,
immediately knowing that she's not gone !
but what i know about writing VNs , i'm only good at punching guys with my mates !

Could this be because you think the MC is an emo whiner, and that's how you imagine an emo reaction to a stressful situation?
In my opinion, MC immediately tries to help Vic because he is the type of guy who takes action rather than freezes in a shocking or stressful situation. His panic attacks are certainly not a defensive reaction to shock. And his own experience only reinforces his behaviour; he could not help Summer and unconsciously sees in this situation an opportunity to replay everything and save the girl.

I agree, the trauma is too understated. It seems like just as he's starting to get his life in order, Noji tries therapy, after years of letting him suffer through worse. Bad dreams are a thing, but we need to actually see the suffering a lot more to understand he has issues and to empathise whith who he can't give intimacy. More flashbacks/guiltrips about Summer when he's interacting with the LI's could help with that, for example hallicinations of Zara being Summer while playing basketball for a split second, and he misses a shot, with his eyes dilating etc.
I guess part of the process is it is still essentially a college story, so even though it has quirkier character backstories, where all the characters have 1 degree of separation but don't know it - essentially it is a non challenging starting point, where all sorts of change can be thrown at the MC. Hopefully there will be more awareness of the mental health issues moving forward, because he's pretty normal, just with the odd panic attack, but mostly as functional as average.
I'm outta reactions, but further on what I just wrote above, of course everyone is different and capable of complexities so I agree. But as far as perception goes, things to some extent need to be made a little more obvious to heighten the impact of the scenes, especially in an episodic narrative.Could this be because you think the MC is an emo whiner, and that's how you imagine an emo reaction to a stressful situation?

Nika has been raised to be responsible, but his level of external competence at relative normality would mask 90% of his problems to an observer. We're also observing even his internal dialogue, and there's very little evidence of trauma interrupting him. He rationalises his decisions more than anything. I think the flashbacks (like in the hospital) with dialted eyes could be more regular to show there is an antagonist inside his mental structures.
As you know already I enjoy this story immensely, so it's more a critique from me rather than a problem.

Let's hope Steam speeds up the SG publishing process after seeing this.

No, he was doing the entire game in 4k from season one, that's why I keep mentioning downscaling. And while I'm aware downscaling is not a huge time sink (hence the wording in my previous post), it all adds up, especially when you factor in the minutes long cinematics.
