It doesn't help that they don't use the latest tech, and then drag it out for 8 years when it should be more like 5-6 tops.. especially being a portable device which gets outdated quicker.
Well it depends on the games..
I expect for Mario Kart at least, to be another rehash.. Seriously only DS did anything new with the mission mode, there's no meaty SP game in any of them.. it's kind of shallow when you look at it that way.
I wish they wouldn't be so lazy with some of their first party titles.
It's been 50/50, when ChatGPT was quite new I remember a bunch of people saying it won't go anywhere because it was crap and unreliable, today it is much more refined, not perfect... Yet.
Then there were people saying image generators were crap, they weren't much good at first, now look at them, we also had the odd few people saying video generation would amount to nothing useful in our lifetime.
The thing I'm most excited for is curing di...
I understand the frustration, but I noticed people becoming less and less chatty as soon as social media took people away from programs like AOL instant messenger, ICQ, MSN.. they were all popular until around the mid 2000's, they eventually all got killed off.. How ICQ is even still around I'm not sure. There's no point using it today.
But just saying this was happening before AI was even really a thing anyway on that front.
But I thought people keep saying AI is garbage and it won't take any jobs..?
Yeah, pretty sure those who had jobs doing adult calls are out of a job, like those you used to see on late night TV.. Plus numerous other *ahem* adult entertainment stuff.
They're already starting to use robots on car assembly lines. Not just the standard robot arms like you see in factories, but full humanoid robots, Mercedes included, not just Tesla.

L4D2 looks the worst, don't think they updated any models or anything though it's just some lighting.. if anything it just shows how lazy Valve has been, because even the Source 2 Plantation level remake looked really good, but that is now over a decade old so even that's outdated and nothing became of it.
Seems dumb, multiplayer fast paced VR... Sounds like a recipe for disaster.
Source 2 versions of the games they had, remakes or sequels to their games should've come out like a decade ago, now they'd need a heavily upgraded Source 2 or just Source 3 to be up to par with current engines tbh..
Zen 1 was merely "meh" IMO, it had major RAM compatibility issues, only really worked with Samsung memory from what I recall, and performance was ok at best, the 8700k launched the same year and was top dog even when Zen 2 came out. Though Zen 2 was much better.. it just lacked a bit in gaming, good all rounder chips though for other applications.
AMD are trying to upsell the 9900x3D to 9950x3D, pricing is weird (too close) and odd chip configuration.. it should ...
Console generations drag on long enough already, that's why they pale in comparison to a good PC after a few years.
A "few iterations" what you wanna wait over 20 years for a remake? Lmao.
A good example of a big jump in fidelity: L4D2 plantation in Source 2, the original game looks super bare bones in comparison.. and that leak came out just a few years after the game came out, unfortunately Valve became lazy and didn't bother doing mu...
Still behind DLSS but I mean Nvidia have done a ton of research and they're still top dog in AI apps.
And somehow Nintendo will probably still give the bare minimum of content in many of their games (Mario Kart: still no missions or story mode) while charging extra, so if they can't provide good content in their first party games they can get extra screwed.
Value wise the 9070XT is a decent card if you don't want to pay for Nvidia ones.. That being said, make sure you're happy with the restrictions using some software, if you're happy with just gaming though AMD should be fine.
Probably best bet price wise is get the 9070XT and then upgrade next gen in a couple of years.. With Nvidia this new gen has been a bust, only the 5090 is a decent step up, even the 4090 beats the 5080 by a fair margin.
Ho...
£12 a month for disc version is cheap, cheap enough to trial it if deciding whether to buy one. Either that or just put the £12 towards buying one to begin with.
Fail card, either look at the 5070Ti or go AMD 9070XT depending what features you need, if any.
So Switch 2 ain't even gonna get 2 years on the market before it's outpaced by an even bigger margin than it already will be..
Embarrassing for Nintendo, though I am still interested if they bring the right games and content.
As for COD, don't care for it.
It's kind of like Contra meets Terminator.. Really looks good, you can tell they didn't lazily put it together.
Now that looks like a game.
Hard to tell how long it will be, but if it's reasonably difficult then all the better.
I think you mean to say the Deck isn't, Steam itself certainly is.
ESPN Extreme Games, Road Rash style but at least as fun, it just lacked extra levels and should've had a longer seasonal mode.
People on Eurogamer comments are morons honestly, most of them believe that the situation is not down to greed.
Bullshit I say, why? Artificial scarcity has been a thing to keep prices high, this has been proven before with RAM manufacturers that colluded with eachother and they got fined.
Watch Nvidia GPUs start suddenly coming into stock if AMD is anywhere near competitive in price/performance..
Jensen Huang himself had the cheek to s...
Bit of a stretch to say "human creativity" will always be needed, key word being always. Sure it makes a big difference right now, if you just let it do whatever with little/no effort you end up with lazily put together slop..
It's still early days, but tools to help develop games quicker is obviously a good thing.
