Just to start, GTA IV wasn't awful. Sure it was sluggish at times, but it was an excellent game. Unlike the latest AC games, however. AC: Brotherhood was the last good one.
AC4 seems to fix that. It looks absolutely amazing and I'll definitely be playing this on my PC.
Thing is, Physx is optional, it's either on or off. It's a proprietary feature of Nvidia, the cards are engineered for it. So with Physx off, AMD cards don't really suffer at all. They don't even suffer with Physx on because all the Physx calculations are done on the CPU. It's just a bonus for Nvidia owners, it's by no means a requirement.
Yeah well, I don't think we have nearly enough CPU power even for the HD7* series, unless you fork out 1000$ for a six-core i7.
I'm curious how CPUs will perform in Battlefield 4. All CPUs struggle in BF3.
Now give us a CPU that will use it to it's full potential in games.
That's pretty unanimous.
Looks absolutely amazing, both this and the PS4 demo during rain, and if it's run on a PC (like the first Xbone demo and the reveal gameplay), I'd wish for the game to actually come out on PC as well. No excuses Kojima! Make it happen!
Somehow I doubt that GTA5 will make it's way on to next-gen consoles. MAYBE, but it's a long shot.
I'd be willing to bet, however, that GTA Online will evolve into a next-gen game later on. It's more likely that GTA5 will land on PC than on PS4/XBone.
Oh and for your comment (which you edited), good for you, expressing your opinion on the Internet that PC gamers are annoying.
I don't see it that way because generalization is a ver...
He'll lose his voice soon. This was excellent.
Too bad it plays worse than GTAV. Huehuehue. Can't wait for GTA5PC.
Funny how he doesn't mention anything about PC, since it was also leaked alongside PS4.
I can confirm that you can actually figure out your PS3 is slowly dying (if you have the fat model) by how frequent your games freeze.
The closer it gets to dying, the more freezes you'll encounter. It will freeze once monthly, then once every two weeks, then a couple of times a week and then it's gone.
Been through that 2 times.
That is not powerful enough. on the AMD side of CPUs, I wouldn't take anything less than a 8320.
People underestimate the importance of a good CPU in games such as Battlefield 3 and now 4. You can have a GPU as powerful as you'd like, but you still need a good CPU to use it to it's full potential.
An i7 or a FX8350 would be ideal, i5 close to ideal, FX 6300/Phenom II x6 just good.

What's so ignorant about it? Half the comments here are about how they actually removed features. You can't take a step back and say you're innovative.
I wanted to check the comments here because I thought I missed what made it innovative. Turns out they're just full of crap.
In case someone didn't understand me correctly, when I was talking about being full of crap, I was talking about Turn10.
I saw some shit in Dead Space 3 as well. Came in a room full of supplies when all of a sudden a freaking corpse flew right in front of me and started flapping all over the room, smashing into things.
I think it was caused by high fps, because when I tried to record, the damn thing stopped every time. As soon as I stopped recording, there it goes again.
GTA4 has fps issues on all platforms.
Did nobody love you as a child?
It doesn't really matter about the GPU, I can always turn the details down. But turning down the details won't help much if my CPU can only put out 45-60fps. That's not going to cut it.
A 7850 OC is ~GTX 580, a heavily OC version (1150/1400) can come close to the HD7950.
Don't install it, it's a disappointment.
