Battlefield Bad Company 2, Dead Space 2, Crysis 3, and a handful other EA games have finally had their online services shut down.
I had no idea that Bad Company 2 was still running, and only now that I know, I want to jump on! 😥
I was able to find games in the Vietnam dlc on ps3 the last week. There were articles on here about the server closure when it was announced in April
BF1943 is the only online MP game that I was genuinely interested in. Been playing since launch 14 years ago. Hate that I couldn't put in as much time to play as I'd hoped for during the final week.
I got really into 43 when I bought Bf3, and preferred it. Everything that I disliked or found annoying about Bf3, wasn't an issue in 43. Too bad they never bothered releasing it on PS4 or PC.
Dead Space 2...... I wasn't even aware that had multiplayer. Nevermind that it was apparently one of their best multiplayers!
Dead Space 2 multiplayer had been hanging on for years - I'd boot my PS3 up to see some familiar names in lobbies. This will definitely be missed!
Electronic Arts has released a new update for the PC version of Crysis 3 that removes its SecuROM protection system.
Bang4BuckPC Gamer tested Crysis 3, The Witcher 3, Horizon Zero Dawn and Final Fantasy XV, with all of them running with 30fps in 8K.
Yep. Wait a couple of years and get this level of performance on a RTX 4070 or 4080 at a much lower price.
That headline is a tad misleading.
The rig stated in that YouTube video is extremely high-end (ryzen 3950x oc, 32gb etc) and utilizing special water-cooling solutions, loops with pumps etc.
This rig easily costs 5k+ and a normal pc with a RTX 3090 wouldn't get close to these framerates or sustainable temperatures.
There's still a difference between a high-end GPU+CPU and a custom-made water cooling system including a Waterloop&pumps etc though, it allows for much higher performance due to the better temperature management that would fry the GPU&CPU with normal builds.
That's why people need to read the articles, most headlines are just to get you to click.
Most of the threads of the 3950x were barely utilized and none of the games that were tested allocated more than ~12.5GB of system memory. Gaming at 8k is pretty much as GPU bound as you can get so you won't need a water cooled high-end CPU or 32GB of memory.
Mega powerful video card but the games you can play on that card are all available elsewhere. I want to see compelling pc only goty material titles ASAP
And where else can you run them in 8K or even in 4K with the same level of performance?
Who cares? Nobody has 8k screens and the majority don't even have 4k screens.
This push for pointless high resolution is ruining progress. Give us better framerates, lighting, physics, etc. Stop wasting power on needles 8k.
DLSS 2.0 no doubt has a big part in this too, The Witcher 3, Horizon Zero Dawn and Death Stranding run like a dream on my 3080, 4k ultra set to 60fps no drops or stutters and the system runs very quiet. Playing Borderlands 3 on badass settings, Red Dead or Division 2 on 4k ultra all run great (Red Dead has a few drops below 60fps) but my PC is working a lot harder on games that don't utilise DLSS, my room warms up nicely when playing those games.
I guess you can admit something after release date and when its not selling like hot cakes !
"So if it were PC only, could we have done more things? Certainly, yes.”
So why don't you stop being lazy and give the PC version more? basically admitting that you limit your PC titles isn't the best move to attract fans.
No they limited themselfs by putting all the efford in close texture details.
If they put less attention to the close quarters stuff, they could have easily do an openworld Crysis 1 type shooter.
Just look at Farcry 3.
I wonder what excuses theyll have next gen?
Devs are not gonna make a pc game way way different than consoles. It has happened this whole gen. Excluding bf3 and metro..
Consoles where most of the $$$ at for devs.
Yerli must make lots of console cash to keep holding back pc.
54 million steam users and most games high end games don't even hit 2million sales. Mean while minecraft and diablo sell over 10 million. Sales is what holds pc back not consoles.
Though EA the business pc gamers hate made $250 million from pc shooters and f2p games hence bf3 pushing pc and making C&C f2p. Everything else not much.
Now that next gen consoles are here crytek games may look at good as deep down I hope.
The most successful pc games are cartoony mmos though.
Pc holds back pc also. I think this why valve never push graphics. Portal 2 can run on a calculator = more sales.
If you spend $1000+ on a high end pc just to run console ports then good for you.
My $700 pc is fine running games at 50fps 1650x1050, high settings.
I won't invest much in pc until pc games are 70% of the time pc lead platform.
It wouldn't be surprised to see #Dylila in here to compare it to killzone.
