Yeah. That's where I started. But It runs nowhere near perfectly fine on my end. It buffers every 5 seconds or so. Ustream mirror worked the best for me but now it is on an endless buffer from the ms stream though (the ustream stream is running fine). That has happened once before then the mirror streamer refreshed the site and everything worked fine. Looks like he's afk or fell asleep this time though cause the endless buffer is going on for 15 min now.

No other stre...

Thanks. Trying it out.

Can't watch the stream :(

I've seen like 2 minutes of the stream with 17 minutes of buffering in between. CNET worked for a while but they have technical issues too. Why can't MS provide a stable stream?

Easily? With so many great games coming out this year there is no way any of them can objectively claim the goty title "easily".

Goty awards will probably be spread around a lot of games this year.

Cy: They haven't announced anything of that kind afaik. I'm assuming it'll at least come to Windows 8.1 as well.

Flame_of_Udun: Windows 7 is still the most used OS so it's not completely out of question. I agree it's unlikely because they need to sell Windows 10 and if Windows 7 will get DX 12 support there will be one less reason (if any) to upgrade.

I just need to know for sure so I can decide which OS to get for my new PC build.

A new Age of Mythology would be nice.

I just want to know if Windows 7 will get Direct-X 12 support. I personally don't think that it will because the mainstream support for Windows 7 has ended.

It has the potential. But it's impossible to tell right now. Some games will disappoint, some will turn out surprisingly good. Some might get delayed into 2016 and some new will get announced for 2015.

All we can say at this point is that it looks very promising.

@ContinuePlay: They are running the game at around 75% of the pixel count of 1080p@16:9 (1920x1080). That's should result in a similar workload to running it at 900p@16:9 (which is around 70% of 1080p) with the benefit of maintaining the image quality of 1080p as no upscaling has to be done.

That probably gave them the recources needed to get the expensive AA solution. I'm sure the game would've looked great regardless but looking at how smooth it looks now I thin...

1. Must be fluent in C++. Experience with Lisp or Scheme is a plus. /check

2. No industry experience required, but previous work with game projects is a plus. /doublecheck

3. Currently enrolled in Computer Science or a related discipline (BS or higher). /CHECK

4. Good communication skills. /OMG CHECK

5. Must be legally able to work in the United States. /NOOOOOOOOOOOO

Edit: I was halway kidding by the way. I...

Better :O..

Remember what ND said about the Last of Us. They've said that the last 6-8 weeks or so made the difference between it being a good it being and a great game (I don't remember the exact quote). Goes to show how important that last phase of optimisation can be.

For what price? The price is unannouned as is most of the hardware. All we know is that there will be a version with two GTX 980's. That configuration will most likely be well above the $1,500 price point.

Probably a typo. Blue USB ports on the picture so I guess it's gonna be USB 3.0. USB 2.0 wouldn't really make sense.

I can't speak for the Dark Souls games as I haven't played them yet but Demon's Souls is nowhere near badly designed. I actually expected it to be frustratingly hard from what I've heard but when I've finally played it I thought it has a fair challenge to it as long as you pay attention to your surroundings.

I can't remember a single situation where I died and felt like I couldn't have survived if I played it a little better.

I kinda agree. It would be sad if ND would be stuck with their already existing franchises for the most part of this gen without being able to work on a new IP that was designed from the ground up for the PS4.

I'd like a new IP from them rather sooner than later in this gen so it can grow as the PS4's life cycle continues (much like Uncharted did throughout the PS3 lifecycle).

But still I wouldn't say no to a Jak 4.

You could say it's a console without the benefits of a console mainly being first party games and optimisation for specific hardware.

Wow. People are complaining about everything nowadays.

They needed a voice actor and they got one of the best. Sounds like good news to me.

Obviously he's not going to sound completely different from other roles he did in the past. Complaining about this makes just as much sense as complaining about Elrond (Lord of the Rings) looking like Agent Smith (Matrix).

Show some respect.

I definately enjoyed FFXIII. Never got to play XIII-2 and Lighning returns so I'd surely buy a collection for the PS4.

Say what you want about the PC version. If they decide to bring it to consoles they better make it work properly. It's not only performance issues as well. Reading the patch notes shows how buggy this game was on release.

The devs have said they would've wanted more time with the game but since it's an anual franchise I guess Ubisoft gave them a strict time limit. They had to be aware of the games problems and yet decided to release it at that state. It's sad ...
