going to the sci-fi future for the second year in a row.

Are you goddamn kidding me? The *exact* same bug appeared in StarCraft II years ago. It was very prominent, all over the news and that.

It could also be the anime thing where heroes have incredible internal monologues about the abilities and weaknesses of their enemies

The robots are very big and likely use large power supplies for their weapons and movement. Also without nice blacksmithing, you’re going to get big sheets of metal armor intended for drones or vehicles that are going to be too heavy to wear

“godrays” has been a term used in the graphics world for an extremely long time though.

One thing people miss sometimes is that POTG is said to take into account achievements as well.

When will comments like these stop? Tracer has a cockney accent and her VA is from Downton Abbey.

What’s sad is that this has become expected. For many years now, review scores have poisoned the discourse surrounding video games. Reviewers who shy away from the norm and offer lower scores than average are regularly faced with abuse from video game fans who feel the need to defend their favorite purchases. When a…

Did anyone like Chaos Rings?

Tracer has a skill ceiling so crazy I can’t see the daylight above. I’ve been against Tracers who just don’t die in 1v1

Considering how the game takes place over three days, it certainly is

Interestingly, the reboot’s Lara is 1.68m, while Alicia Vikander is 1.66m.

I have a GTX 980. I am entitled to think whatever I want, because one of the great beauties of PC gaming is the customizability of the experience. Low FPS can be OK in many situations, if the result is notably improved image quality, and if gameplay isn’t completely founded on twitchy, high-precision movements.

Some people, like me, prefer visual fidelity to FPS. This is why I’m OK with running The Division barely hovering around 30FPS at 4K - she ain't smooth but she looks real.

What I absolutely do not get is what this relative powerhouse of a CPU is doing running Android, when the x7-z8700 is the same sumbitch that you’ll find on the very, very good Surface 3. Meanwhile, that Cherry Trail integrated GPU can be seen playing some standard PC games on low - both the 2013 Tomb Raider and Diablo…

Wait wait wait. GIANA SISTERS IS STILL A THING? As in the legendary Super Mario clone that happened to have one of the greatest soundtracks of the era?

Wasn't it made out to be gameplay? I remember a few people being skeptical back then since all the news Xbox 360 and PS3 target render videos were so popular and no one could tell who was being realistic anymore.

Around that time, “target render” videos, or CGI trailers that supposedly represented the developers’ goals for a game’s visuals, were very popular. This trailer was posed as a gameplay video ten years ago, as I recall.

It was a target render, very common for its time. See Madden games and Killzone 2 from that period.

The game finally looks as good as its bullshot trailer from ten years ago!
