In the short term their stock would fall off a cliff. What happens next is just guessing, but major restructuring and layoffs would seem very likely, as well as the possibility of selling off studios individually.

Isn’t this all just based off of energy usage? If so, wouldn’t it be entirely dependent on the local energy grid and where it sources from? If that is the case, it never seemed fair to me to blame companies for the energy policies of governments.

Diamonds. In Africa.

This could be messy because it’s a Swedish company suing a British gaming company under US copyright law. Just figuring out standing is going to take well more than 10 days.

If views in 2006 matter more than views recently, then Donald Trump is a Hillary Clinton supporting Democrat...

It’s more a union team player going to bat for the union. Honestly, as unionized writers, I’m surprised the side Kotaku came down on this one.

And the major boost in FPS really only comes from DLSS 3.0 and the AI generated inserted frames. Even if they work flawlessly (which I just can’t imagine) you are still holding a frame until the inserted frame displays which in practice will make every framerate feel 33% slower, so 60 FPS will feel like you are…

That’s a lot of power in that small of a system. Consider how big the Steam Deck is and it is basically a base PS4 in power and starts at $400, while running the SOC at 15 watts. I’m not sure the tech is there yet to shrink a Series S to that level of performance to power, at least for anything in an affordable price…

The bit about buying 3000 series reminded me a lot of the whole “We have a product for people who aren’t able to get some form of connectivity, it’s called Xbox 360"

This is why companies do CG trailers. Too many people expect finished and polished products when they first see them, and it’s just safer to show CG until the game is basically finished.

The only other company I trust for GPUs is Sapphire, so this probably pushes me to AMD in the future.  

I think part of the confusion is naming. Intergrade is just the enhanced graphics version that is free to download to previous owners and automatically activated. The Yuffie DLC is called Intermission and is separate (but even more confusing is included with new purchases of Intergrade and the PS5 physical). If you…

Blue Dragon for $5 is a good pickup.  Too bad Lost Odyssey isn’t also at that price. Both those games run amazing on a Series console.

The most use I have gotten out of it is actually as a PC controller.   I usually bind keyboard keys to the swipe directions so I can press keys like J or M and access my map or journal without having to navigate a menu.

That’s really not that much money. I understand phone games cost less to make than standard games (although it’s being reported this one cost quite a bit more than a standard phone game) but at a standard $60 price point, $24 million works out to around 400,000 copies. That would be an absolute disaster for a…

You have to consider the data transfer that is required for modern gaming and then you begin to see why cloud gaming is severely limited currently. The HDMI 2.1 connections on a PS5 transfers data at 32GB/s and a Series X does 40GB/s. To go from that to the 50-250MB/s that streaming uses introduces massive…

The GOP has switched from an appeal to more voters strategy, to a turn out the vote strategy. Their plan is to turn out 100% of their voters while doing everything possible to reduce votes on the other side by making it harder to vote, and just making people not want to vote by making the entire thing beyond toxic.…

I’m saying this as someone who will vote 100% for Democratic candidates, but to the average voter, what the hell has the Democratic party done to convince them to come out in November? They have had complete control of the government for 2 years and in that time have passed the Republican infrastructure bill that…

Also, the Milennium Falcon makes it from the Hoth System to the Bespin System at sub light speeds in a matter of days.

It’s funny, because like everything else in the conservative mindset, they haven’t actually thought it through and realized what would happen if section 230 were actually repealed. If you hold platforms legally responsible for all speech on the platform, they will just turn off all ways of communication for the…
