No matter how NetEase tries to res♓et expectations, there w෴ill be a lot of disappointment in Marvel Rivals' future.

There's also the fact that we get to play as our favourite Marvel heroes and villains, with their powers tuned perfectly to fit the hero shooter genre. Things like using 168澳洲𓆏幸运5开奖网:Jeff's Ult to toss a whole team off the m𓆏ap and 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Magneto's ult to send Iron Man's ult back at him add to the f♛un. But the most creative of these is Doctor Strange's port𒈔als. Understandably, NetEase had a tough time with them.

Marvel Rivals Devs Had A Hard Time Dealing With Doctor Strange's Portals

S🐭peaking to , technical lead designer Ruan Weikang revealed that it wasn't easy to make the portals work the way they do. Unlike games like Portal and Splitgate, which require the portal to be on a flat surface, Marvel Rivals allows you to place them in mid air, at any angle. This proved to be an "unprecedented challenge" for the developers.

Doctor Strange open a portal around Adam Warlock in Marvel Rivals.

"Creating portals that enable real-time spatial connections and bi-directional combat interactions not only presented complex gameplay implementation challenges," said Weikang. "But also introduced unprecedented performan🅰ce demands when combined with advanced graphics features".

Weikang went into deep technical detail about all the things that the team 🍌tried, but those resulted in substantial CPU and GPU stress. Eventually, the team decided to implement a "modified VꦆiewPort split-screen implementation. This approach integrates portal rendering directly into the main view pipeline."

Weikang concluded, saying "the end result succ🅘essfully captures the essence of Doctor Strange's iconic abilities while adding meaningful tactical d♍epth to gameplay, ultimately justifying the technical investment."

Thanks to this innovative technique, you can pull off some great stunts like 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:tricking a team off a ledge as they rush out of their spawn area, or 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:insta-killing Punisher and his turret.
