Various leaks of AMD’s upcoming Sea Islands GPUs have hit the web which include specifications of Radeon HD 8800 series GPUs and the successor to Sea Islands known as Volcanic Islands (Link). However there is still little known about the top end cards which fall under the HD 8900 series branding, but today thanks to a key source we have got the first details of the upcoming Venus based Radeon HD 8900 series graphics cards.
"The Barcelona-based (Spain) indie games publisher/developer Abylight Studios and indie games developers Yakov Butuzov & Daria Vodyanaya, are today very proud and happy to announce that their turn-based retro-horror strategy/adventure game “Anoxia Station“, is now available for PC via Steam." - Jonas Ek, TGG.
The Outerhaven says: DOOM: The Dark Ages brings the series back to its original roots with solid gameplay mixed with a lot of demons to shred your way through in a bloody good time.
People who already have their hands on physical copies of Doom: The Dark Ages are warning that the full game isn't actually on the disc.
There's zero reason why this game couldn't be on disc it was a strategic move to not allow the game to be played after the servers go down
Same situation with AC Shadows this year, Hogwarts Legacy a couple years ago; PS Collector's Editions likely won't include a disc ever again; Xbox Game Studios definitely won't release a full disc ever again
PS5 Slim + Pro disc drives require online activation and so does the Series X
It's a shame. I think I'm done buying physical. It's an extra expense for an already-expensive PS5 Pro I want before DS2 and GoY, and they'll probably kill off those activation servers way before the store in the future.
It's just sad and annoying even switch 2 is failing in physical.
Sad future where kids are unwrapping digital codes on Christmas morning but it's a reality we seem to be driving towards
I seriously doubt that kids are going to be upset after unwrapping digital codes for a game they wanted. 😂
Besides the digital age is their era not ours.
I don't know I mean I give switch games now and they get hyped but if it's a game that just appears on their home screen after getting a receipt there's just not much excitement.
I do get what you're saying though and I'm probably just a. Old man yelling at a cloud but I don't know it's also what I see lately along with my own experiences which are redundant definitely
Yeah, Microsoft could've used two discs for the Xbox version and a proper PS5 disc for the game. However, they hate physical media now so the game is a skip. Even though I really love Doom
If the servers *do* stay up though?
Xbox is the only modern console platform where discs from the 2001-era console still do work today. It's the only advantage Xbox has left
Phil Spencer has this habit of saying something (and making a big deal of it) then his actions show him doing the opposite
"his actions show him doing the opposite"
By supporting games from 2001 in 2025? What other platform does that?
Kinda sad. For most people in the west it doesnt mather. But in other parts of the world the physical releases are crucial to have gaming in that Region of the world
All it does is make me less likely to get it at launch, just like Indiana Jones. I’ll pick it up when it’s far cheaper. I still haven’t even bought the Oblivion Remaster yet.
At the minute I still have a lot to play so it’s not like I don’t have anything else to play in the meantime.
It just annoys me that they either could fit it into a disc or they could start using newer discs that can hold more.
......and we inch ever so closer to Ray Tracing!
Still I would like to see AMD include more raster operation units but hey what do i know?
After 10 years: AMD Radeon Supercharged V-10 Ultra HD 20500 leaked.

That was fast, glad I chose to skip a generation!
