Well even Crytek turned into multiplatform devs eventually. Seems like the console market is too important to miss out on for AAA productions nowadays unless you go the kickstarter route and manage to get a huge budget like Star Citizen did.
Nice. I've just picked up the Portal games through Steam. Definately gonna check that out.
We still don't really know what Let it Die is do we? Maybe I've missed something but from what I've seen I don't really know what to expect from the game just yet.
I'd replace it with one of those: Deep Down, Drawn to Death, The Tomorrow Children, Everybody's Gone to the Rapture or Rime.
Those specs don't really say much. For example an i7 sandy bridge CPU won't perform as good as an i7 Haswell CPU even though both are i7 quad core CPUs.
For Nvidia cards they recommend the GTX 780 which has 3GB of VRAM.
Also what exactly does unplayable mean? Does that mean you can't get a stable framerate even on lowest settings? Have you tried to reduce the draw distance because the devs have recommended to do that for now. And what resolution a...
Where are the recommended specs listed?
Edit: Just googled it. Are those official? http://www.game-debate.com/...
I wonder how there can be official spec requirements when there is still about 3 months left for optimisation.
For people that own both.
Agreed I'd personally rather have that.
I haven't played it yet but from what I've seen it just didn't have the same "mystery-vibe" like the old games. It looked more like a normal medieval stealth game.
Then there was the technical flaws (asset pop ins, sub par texture filtering and uneven frame-timing).
Don't expect your GTX 970 to run games in 4k on a regular basis though. 1440p is probably the sweet spot for it right now if you want to keep the framerate around 60fps and the quality around high-max.
Would you say that it makes sense to play as 2 people or do you need more for the game to be enjoyable?
I'm asking because I've just build a new gaming PC and my mate wants to play something with me but we can't really decide on a game yet.
I'm expecting a great story-driven 3rd person shooter set in an intriguing and believable world with an epic sountrack and a gripping atmosphere.
I even grew a stache in anticipation.
Agreed. But you can't really compare a whole medium like video games to a very limited genre of another medium (TV).
Not everyone can get into every hobby but I think it's important to be respectful even if you don't share the same hobby. The thing that annoys me the most is not that some people don't understand games but that they are ignorant about it pretending to know better than you and not willing to have a rational discussion about it (this doesn't ...
Well if you go in with such a biased attitude into anything new you won't enjoy it no matter what it is. She started complaining right from the start searching for reasons to dislike it. A more open minded person would've at least try to understand why so many people like video games so much.
Yeah there probably will be a difference between the advertising vids and the real thing. But to be honest it doesn't need to be perfect right away. It just needs to be good enough for now. If this becomes a market with different companies investing in it and bringing their own ideas to the table, we'll get there over time.
I'm curious to see how much of an improvement DX12 will have over DX11 in a general real game scenario. I've just ordered my new PC parts yesterday. Great to see that MS is offering the Windows 10 upgrade.
How do you even compare them? HoloLens is not a gaming centered device unlike Oculus and Project Morpheus. I think VR is a much better medium for gaming personally. AR on the other hand is a much more versatile tech that can be used for all kinds of stuff.
I guess it can do anything Google Glass can do and much more due to the holographic capabilities. You could use it for a lot of different stuff like creating 3D concepts in AR for real life modelling for example.
@Outside_ofthe_box: Yea I agree with you. After seing the vids I also that thought this looks like the much better version of Google Glass.
Those holographic glasses could be used in so many different ways.
Wow. People are going crazy over this. Is there any footage available yet? I wanna see it. I couldn't watch the stream because of constant buffering.
@drpepperdude: Thanks. Looks cool. It could be great as a workspace environment. I just thought about how you could create and visualise different concepts in VR the other day. This looks kinda like I imagined it just more practical I guess cause you're not cut off the real world as you are in VR.
I kin...
Yeah especially when the problem is so easy to fix. They just needed to intall a time warp gate in front of the ethernet slot. Not only could you play games that aren't downloaded yet, you could also play games that you haven't bought yet. If they would've invested in such a technology we might be playing games that haven't even been created yet.
Luckily I've found a 3rd party DIY timewarp-gate kit that works with everything that has an ethernet port. I w...
