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....
Microsoft just posted the third quarter of its 2024 fiscal financial results. The software maker made $61.9 billion in revenue and a net income of $21.9 billion during Q3. Revenue is up 17 percent, and net income has increased by 20 percent.
Xbox content + services up 62% while hardware down 31%... seems about right with the way they tout you don't need the hardware to play. People can play on their phones or smart tv or other means. I don't hardly play on my consoles directly since getting devices like the logitech g-cloud and ps portal. Which is to also say I have been playing more digital than physical because of these devices.
Too expensive hardware when others offer the same or more for less? Good work, Green Team.
A new patent recently published by Sony wants to gather biometric data of gamers to track whether one is being harassed using AI tools.
I hope this is one of those patents that never comes to fruition.
I already dislike the fact you can pay a significant amount for a online service buy associated games and content on said service and get banned from that service over potentially a misunderstanding the bans are already handed out for flimsy reasons
I'd rather see money invested in a ban that simply removes the offensive players ability to communicate with unknown players allow them to continue party chats with friends but not with Joe blow on cod.
Take my social security and bank account numbers too! Here’s a picture of my wife and our address.
At this rate I feel Sony will eventually sell a room to play games in it where they can monitor your every breath
I want them to censor erotic content by measuring my groin temperature so i dont get too distracted while playing black ops 2.
Terrible idea. Not only do I not consent to providing my biometric data, the potential for mishandling biometric data is almost a certainty. Positive stress and negative stress can produce similar changes in biometrics. Interpreting the precise emotion a person is feeling is not only invasive but could be easily misconstrued. I hope this never comes to fruition.
As part of its plans to cut 1,900 jobs, Microsoft has reportedly shut down operations at Bethesda France, letting go roughly 15 people
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
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
Tbh Microsoft I think Bethesda being 3rd party same with Activision would probably more competitive than thus scenario imo
The recently purchased Activision French offices might take over all the licensing and marketing for Microsoft in France from now on.
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.
