Re: General Gaming News

Is this just the usual jump on the band wagon review bombing or is it genuinely bad (other than that possible graphics bug)? A little from column A, a little from column B. I was reading some of the Steam reviews earlier and it is a prime example of why Steam should have a middle ground between thu...

Re: General Gaming News

It'd be good to see a Digital Foundry analysis of them, but I think Chris is right that VRAM is going to be the problem regardless of whether graphics are handled by the CPU or a dedicated GPU. Faster memory is encouraging, though. The future of graphics cards looks rocky at best, and integrated gr...

Re: General Gaming News

I've seen some good headlines about Intel's ARC, but I can't say it's something I've followed closely. Are the graphics capabilities of these CPUs in any way comparable to even a low-end dedicated GPU? Surely the more you load onto the CPU die, the more expensive it becomes to produce them, as a de...

Re: Currently Playing

Have to say I disagree quite a bit regarding Outer Worlds 2, I think it is a massive improvement on the first game. The writing is much better, the skill implementation is better, combat feels a lot better, companions are an orders of magnitude more interesting and the variety and breadth of areas a...

Re: General Gaming News

I think the current trend with graphics cards could ultimately spell the end of dedicated graphics card. SOCs are only getting more powerful, Intel's latest chips for example have integrated ARC graphics into them with a promise of a 40% graphics performance improvement. With how Nvidia have behaved...

Re: Currently Playing

It's been a while since I posted something in this thread but I just wanted to highlight Where Winds Meet . This is a free to play third person action wuxa game that is a bit AC, a bit Sekrio and a bit Ghost of Tsushima. The UI is a mess and the translation is patchy but it looks incredible, the com...

Re: General Gaming News

Personally I don't think they could release another one of these that wasn't openworld, it needed to move that way. If it was just the same game for a fourth time I think the sales would have been even worse. I do wonder how much the poor sales are down to the general feeling around Borderlands 3 po...

Re: General Gaming News

Considering that figure is basically a guess I struggle to take it very seriously. Without knowing the methodology behind the estimate it's a worthless figure that just looks good in headlines. For all we know they could have taken everyone who subbed to Game Pass as a lost CoD sale.

Re: The 'Look What the Postman Brought Me' Thread - Technology Edition

Damn, Prey turned Team Green? *checks outside for signs of the apocalypse* :lol: When one person joins, another leaves. I had been waiting to upgrade my graphics card for a while, been on a 2060 Super since launch and it has long since past its best, especially as I have moved to a 1440p monitor in...

Re: The Game Awards 2025 Edition -June 6- 10pm BST

Reading reports on the handheld it sounds like Microsoft have done a lot of work on making the version of Windows better with an Xbox front-end you can load into which reduces a lot of the Windows footprint when you are in it. The Xbox game stuff means that anything that is any game you own that is ...

Re: Currently Playing

Danganronpa v3 Finished my journey though all the Danganronpa games and I love them. They have their Japanesey cringe issues like when you max out a social link you get their underwear as a novelty item (a 10x10 pixelart icon to be exact) but the good is so much silly fun and the murders and trials...

Re: General Gaming News

I thought the Bond game looked like an Uncharted game and Bond looked a bit like Nathan Drake, especially in the opening shots. That isn't to say that is a bad thing, I think that's a better direction to go than to make Bond a Hitman type game.

Re: General Gaming News

I'm not going to lower myself one bit by sticking up some nonsensical hyperbolic turd rambling youtube video with "BUNGIE IS COOKED!!!!" in large bold letters because it's bloody dense. What I will say is that I can't even begin to fathom a way for them to turn around Marathon's horrible reception,...
