Gas Powered Games boss Chris Taylor's let slip that PC hardware is currently stalling plans to deliver a full-blown sequel to his RTS Supreme Commander.
Speaking about the addition of new faction the Seraphim in Supreme Commander: Forged Alliance in an interview with PC Zone magazine, he explained, "... the only thing stopping me from doing it [adding new factions] on any sequel is memory".
Amazon Downloads Deal of the Week have recently been released.
This week online retailer will be offering THQ Bundle.
Direct2Drive's Spring Sale continues into Week 2 today, offering big discounts on over 20 titles including Grand Theft Auto IV for just $7.50.
That is an absurdly low price for GTAIV. Just make sure your computer can run it...
What caused GTA IV not being able to run that well even on high end computers?
cpu threading was messed resulting in poor performance on anything short of a quad core. I think its been patched though
Just a heads up to anyone if they do get it, DO NOT UPDATE IT TO THE LATEST PATCH. The latest patch by good ole Rockstar Toronto has screwed GTA 4 up so much for a large number of users it isn't even funny.
Most people have come to the consensus that patch 1.0.3.0 or 1.0.4.0 are the best patches for this game, you will save yourself a lot of headaches if you avoid patch 1.0.0.4 and 1.0.6.0 (yep they couldn't even get the version numbering right).
bought it only had it on 360 and the disc scracthed and been wanting play the story again.
electricshadow i have the episodes on a 5750 quad core phenom 6gb drr3 ram running it at 1080p and it runs fine at about 45-50fps with max settings and 8xaa
anyones knows who i could purchase it outside usa or canada? im in south america but neither steam or 2d2 have GTAIV available, but they have the lost and the dammed

Oh boy its sounds like SC2 will fallow the legacy of the first as being as THE Supreme System hog
and yet I thought Taylor had learned his lesson from the first game after being heavily criticized for the irrational amount of RAM that game eat...sigh
Oh, c'mon now.
You can do it Chris Taylor. You just have to take out the physics calculations for every single projectile and make it so that not every unit has its own individual AI.
I don't see the real reason why Windows limits the amount of memory available to an application.
SC barely gets above 1GB on my system and stops.
For me SupCom is the best PC game since Total Annihilation, which still plays remarkably well all these years later.
I really hope they make SupCom2 a game that most people can play, with similar system requirements to C&C3. If they don't do this it'll never get the commercial success it deserves. Most people use their PC for web and email and only a tiny percentage are going to be comfortable upgrading.
P.S. Best not abbreviate to use SC and SC2, could be confused with another game. :)
