Is Playing Far Cry 3 a next generation experience?
I have been running Far Cry 3 on a DX9 graphics card on the games highest available settings with a strong Intel CPU...
For the most part, characters are realistically animated using motion capture and complex organic calculations. Bodies pile up on top of eachother and....
As part of its plans to cut 1,900 jobs, Microsoft has reportedly shut down operations at Bethesda France, letting go roughly 15 people
They can form a company if they want, they are just as jobless as if "Microsoft had left them as 3rd party".
"MIcrosoft leaves Bethesda do what they know how to do best" ... close! Oh the irony ....
(Citation from a week old article)
Bethesda France was made up of roughly 15 people... they couldn't of being doing much
Bethesda France mainly did publishing and marketing within the region
that's a shame for you to say that, i'm sure Elite loves hearing what you just said.
Bethesda France focused on publishing and marketing in the region. And 15 people lost their jobs as part of the closure.
I wonder if this is part of Microsoft's strategy to abandoned physical media or possibly gamepass advertising makes their roles redundant you don't need to market a game as hard when the majority of players get the game as part of a sub which already promoted upcoming games
It's France too, there's a high likelihood only 1-2 people on the team even had an Xbox.
Tbh Microsoft I think Bethesda being 3rd party same with Activision would probably more competitive than thus scenario imo
I think it would have been better for all parties really especially gamers
The recently purchased Activision French offices might take over all the licensing and marketing for Microsoft in France from now on.
Sony has recently published a new patent that wants to dynamically handle the games' difficulty and gameplay based on the player's emotions.
This is something I might use. Sometimes I play some good games but they don’t have difficulty option and are a little too easy.
cool idea
cool idea for horror games especially
the way it's explained here sounds like it could never be forced hopefully, so that's ok with me
Hanzala from eXputer: "With Ubisoft's practices becoming increasingly anti-consumer lately, the destruction of The Sands of Time Remake looks almost inevitable."
Hey Ubi, here's a gun, don't shoot yourself in the foot.

Crysis 3 max settings crushes Far Cry 3.
Not a chance... I've figured the rush from that game has settled and everyone can agree how mediocre it is in hindsight. The islands geometry was rough... the grass textures float in a lot of area's... however it was that you took out main characters left you confused enough to think you might see them again and I won't even go over those endings seeing as they are both shit.
every major game on pc from the last few years is a glimpse of next gen, though ps4/nextbox won't actually come close to the high end pc's of today and the last few years
there will be no games on ps4 that look like metro2033 in 2560x1600, crysis 2 in 2560x1600, the witcher 2 in 2560x1600,
you can bet on that, plus, the AA levels will still be too low on ps4/720, almost assuradly, there will still be jaggies, there are virtually none on a proper pc with the right settings
also, the performance will still be spotty...25-35 frames per second
hopefully the can use proper v-sync next gen and get rid of the awful screen tearing, thats honestly almost worse than all the ps3/360 jaggies floating everywhere
Even so I got a 7970M in my Alienware, just imagine the removal of the OS and API overhead and we'll end up with the same picture pretty much.
In other words what PC gamers took for granted all along console gamers will get to experience on their HD tv without all the fuss and in full glory.
It's not that bad at all, perhaps the generation after next we'll be going to 4k that should make things interesting haha.
Some of you PC gamers really need to get over yourselves, seriously.
