"based on a real world woman for voice and design".

You have got to be joking surely? Did you play any of the games? The feats this "based on a real world woman" accomplishes are fantastical from start to finish. I am glad you said "based" more like loosely based in a purely imaginative way.

What they can learn is, Lara can still remain a badass character even if they adhere to the original design which might not appeal to the current PC brigade but the fans who supported the series from the beginning. They can also give people more options so that those who want tank tops and shorts or bikinis in the snowy climates can have that and those who want more realistic clothing can choose that too. Cover all bases basically.

I would like to see a more intelligent La...

Two reasons why it cost this much.

She looks great

and

People will pay that much for it.

Might be right now, but if you look back at dial-up internet in the early 2000s and compare to the high speeds we're getting now you could say the same thing. Totally impossible to consider cloud streaming games back then. There might be other trickery they could employ such as predictive movements or data compression where the latency is reduced to levels where it's on par with things like Air Link now.

If FaceMetaBook can somehow with Carmack and anyone elses' help get cloud-based VR gaming down to acceptable levels on all fronts (latency and visuals), then Quest [insert iteration] will appeal to a lot more people. The mobile graphics are just not good enough compared to tethered systems as of now. Quest Air Link or using a cable requires the beefy PC to run it, increasing the cost but it is currently the market leader I think.

The inherent problem with VR in general is the difficulty showing how cool it actually is from a 2D trailer or video. They use all sorts of tricks to convey the idea but it is not the same. What VR has always needed is familiar AAA franchises for the platform but made as AAA franchises in VR not cheap/gimmicky spin-offs. There are now quite a number of great VR games of this calibre already tho but the platform needs more quality of which is coming slowly.

The clue is in the game's name "extraction". Not the in-game characters but the players.

I really think this is more Ubi's plan to get the game out there to as many people as possible so that the MTX revenue is maxed. That is where the money's at for them for this type of game.

Will probably only offer ~8-10% gains over the 3090. I wonder how much they will want for it given the current market values of top end GPUs right now.

It did...it added aliens!

This list is so inclusive it's silly. I remember a time here on N4G where there would be female only articles like this and people enjoyed those aside from a few who got offended or wanted to defend. Now all the comments are based on why is this even here? Is this allowed even? Why are they wearing armour? Isn't she only 16? Why isn't DDLC Monika in here? Is this list a personification of gamers supposedly "growing-up" on N4G? I doubt it. It's just a crap list becau...

Luke Ross is already working on a Death Stranding VR mod.

From the article.

" A workaround to this problem is to disable Hyper-Threading. When we disabled Hyper-Threading on our quad-core, hexa-core and octa-core systems, we experienced better frametimes and fewer stutters. Thus, and for most PC systems, we strongly suggest disabling Hyper-Threading for this game."

This is really old hat now.

You can wish all you like but as you said in the article:

"Ubisoft of 2021 is not the same company that made the first game in 2002. Microtransactions are prevalent in nearly every game it releases, and it's even experimenting with NFTs in Ghost Recon Breakpoint now.".

**Cue solemn/ foreboding music**.

Ofc Ubisoft won't mess this up. They will give what the fans want. That's silly customizable costume MTX and rabb...

You can see plenty of stuttering in this video though especially as they have it set to 120fps. Not sure why they chose to use that option.

I don't think video-games, especially those with an action focus where people are being brutally murdered as the main hook is the correct or a comfortable medium for presenting positive "black" people. Or any character in a positive light nor a chance to avoid stereotypes or tropes, and why should it . Therefore, this is a pointless discussion unless as I said earlier the game's focus is primarily about the struggles of a particular race. Deathloop isn't that game. It...

"Good Black characters in gaming are rare, and extraordinary Black characters are even more so."

I disagree and would prefer.

"Good characters in gaming are rare, and extraordinary characters are even more so".

Go play Disco Elysium a few times to see how much fun you can have with a character.

Unless a game is focused on the issues or the struggles of a particular race, then these characters are j...

I normally don't care about these things but... It's poor English because it makes the headline misleading rather than being a simple grammatical error. It could read, "Saints Row Gets a The Game Awards 2021 Gameplay Trailer" if they insist on using the awful word "gets" in the title. That doesn't sound right either. "Saints Row gets a Gameplay Trailer at The Game Awards 2021". Why can't DailyVideoGame use the same format 99.99% of the other subm...

Weird diction, makes it sound like Saints Row reboot got an award for best trailer at the Game Awards 2021. Or is that just me being weird?
