You do realize that the new consoles will not target the usual $300 market? It will definitely be higher. And as I edited into my last statement,  you don't need to have a 4K capable TV to see the graphical improvement over 1080p.

Lol! @techguru is getting so rekt. :lol: :lol: :lol:

All the complaining is great 
 
Oh no, you guys sure are gonna miss out on these sweet rocky bits that come off walls when you shoot them. How will you ever enjoy Fallout 4 again without this priceless feature that totally revolutionizes the entirety of the game?
 
I think a change.org petition should be setup to make Besthesda provide 980 Ti's to every AMD user who bought Fallout 4 so that they can enjoy the game to it's fullest potential without having to live through the horror of not having access a feature which is probably the most important and influential feature to ever be added to any game in the entire history of gaming.

So.... it's PhysX? Because it just looks like PhysX. My 970 is as green as anybody's and I still find most Gameworks/PhysX effects to be 'ehh neat', but AMD users really aren't missing much. I hate the exclusivity stuff, but at this point I'm just indifferent. However, I look forward to seeing how the full release patch affects my performance.

Or maybe it's "space age" because it's being provided by a satellite that's in space...?

why are you being such a pedant about this. all that picture is trying to do is highlight the fact that they can take decent shots in low light conditions that are clearer than you might get with a regular sensor (or something like that).
 
I swear some of the more active posters on this forum are always so negative about everything it almost makes me not want to read comments sometimes.

I'd sell it on the Steam Market and just use the money you get from it to buy games on Steam sales.

They're really expensive though. I mean I know that seasonic PSUs are very good but I don't need such a high end one, just something that's good enough and fits the build. Thanks for the suggestion though.

I used to use all kinds of free antiviruses until I got sick of them. All they do is eat resources or give me false alarms and generally get in the way. So I now have Microsoft Security Essentials only since that doesn't get in the way or slow down the computer.

You cannot really compare an Open world game with closed off arenas (like in fpses). At graphical parity, an open world game will be more demanding than a fps.
 
I would say just wait and see. They do have things in the game that are quite demanding on CPU (A.I, wind simulation, size and density of the city) and also GPU bound (density of the city, draw distance). For example in past open world games, in order to get reasonable framerates the npcs usually had a lower polycount and looked much worst than the main character(s). If this game has the same polycount in npcs as say current gen open world games and the main character is higher, then it will be hard to push on any gpu whether the rest of the game looks good or not.

wow guys, way to represent the internet as NOT a bunch of kneejerk spastics.
John Carmak is still on the team and none of the original staff has been layed off yet, not to mention the fact that Oculus has been scrambling for funding through its whole development.
Now they can appeal to the whole board of Facebook investors and Facebook has never been a bad company in terms of technology, they just suck at privacy which as we all know we can easily control ourselves (hotspot shield anyone?)
 
Don't stop purchasing Oculus products because then VR really will die, just keep being loud about your concerns, Investors hate angry mobs.

I don't know what the hell you guys are talking about, especially Misantrophe.
 
Can you acually name any other OS that is better for gaming than Win, huh? No? Then go have a nice warm cup of shut the hell up.
I commend M$ for finally stepping it up a notch, it's great news, and besides that, the gaming experinece is still best on the PC, and on windows to be specific, no console, or other OS can touch it (not yet, at least - I'm looking at you SteamOS)

My thoughts on Titanfall:
 
I have not played a CoD game since CoD2, so I cannot make the comparison between the CoD series and this game like so many other have. I have BF3 and have played the BF4 beta. Titanfall IMO is very different from BF3/4.
 
Graphics: Not cutting edge, but it looks more than good enough for what it is. Effects/explosions are very well done. As fast-paced as it is, it doesn't need to be full of eye-candy to be a good game. It certainly doesn't look bad at all. 
 
I noticed it's not a very demanding game at all. I ran it at 1080p, everything on high/ultra and full AA. CPU usage rarely broke the mid-40% on all 4 cores and despite crazy action on screen with several titans blowing up, the frame rate never dropped below 60 for me. Always runs butter-smooth, never experienced any dropped frames yet. 
 
Game play: I think they did a good job of balancing the pilots vs titans. The ability to move about and double jump makes it that much harder to be killed by a titan. If you're smart, there is plenty of places and objects to use as cover from the big machines. I like using roof tops on foot to combat titans. Getting around is fairly easy, as it should be, otherwise titans would mow down pilots too easily. The titans are slow and feel heavy, as they should. Titan on titan damage is pretty good. You have to think quickly and use all equipment at your disposal to survive a titan fight. Game play is very fast-paced which I like, but if you're not used to that it will bite you quickly. The key is to keep moving.  Overall I really enjoy the game play mechanics, especially the quick re-spawn time.
 
I'm hoping the max 12 [real] players + AI is only for the beta. The AI are simply too easy. They often look right at you and don't fire, or you can walk right up and they ignore you. Would be more fun playing with more real players.
 
Weapons: Perhaps my one and only beef with the game thus far is one particular weapon; the auto-aim pistol. Seriously, what the heck is this??? I know it has limited range, but when I first tried it I felt like I was cheating. No need to aim, just have to be close enough. Garbage! They need to scrap that weapon for final release, IMO. I found myself not using that gun on purpose so that I would feel a little more challenged. That being said, I wasn't killed by that weapon very often and because of it's limited range, you can't necessarily mow everyone down with it. Still, it just seems like they are catering too much to the super-casual/beginner gamer with a weapon like that. The other weapons are easy enough to use, this pistol is not necessary. Other than that, there is a decent, but narrow choice of weapons for both titans and pilots, enough for the beta anyways. I like the ability to create fully customized load outs. There's almost no recoil on all weapons which is a little disappointing, but keeping in mind this game isn't trying to be ultra-realistic, I can live with that. Weapon damage on pilot vs pilot is satisfying. Anti-titan weapons feel like they do enough damage, considering what you're target is. Titan weapons are overkill against pilots, as they should be, yet don't quite feel strong enough against other titans, IMO. 
 
Other thoughts: I like that the game starts off with everyone on foot. Around the 2 min mark, titans begin raining down and all hell breaks loose. It's a lot of fun and I think many people need to stop comparing it to other games and take it for what it is. It's not meant to be super realistic, nor completely off the wall unrealistic. It's meant to be a fun and fresh take on a multiplayer FPS that you can pick up and play for enjoyment and so far, I'm very much enjoying it. I realize everyone has their own preferences and by all means, to each his/her own. I think some people came into it with certain expectations and when it didn't meet them, they dislike it. I came in with no expectations and was pleasantly surprised. 
 
Do I think this game is worth the full $60 price tag? It's hard to say without knowing what the full version will include. How many more weapons, titans and pilots? How many maps? Single player campaign? How many other game play modes? Even if it does deliver on most of those fronts, in terms of content and play value, I personally will not pay the full price. I will most likely buy the game but not until I see it on sale for at least 25% off.  

Cool thanks for explaining that. I always like learning new things and while this kind of stuff kind of goes over my head a lot of the time, I still enjoy learning and feeling like I understand this stuff just a little bit more.

Not sure about that video, but from what I've seen and looked into while I was dabbling with 3D moddeling you can create the illusion of a highly detailed scene with some really good textures and a good engine/lighting. Also, when I say "good textures", I don't just mean hi-res. There are so many little tricks you can do to make modles look nicer than they really are.
What's really impressive, if this is real, is the lighting.

I was searching around for a way to give me the fuctionality of media keys on a keyboard that doesn't have them and ended up finding a rather nice script for autohk that does just that.
Anyway, I thought I would post it incase anyone else wants something like this. (I didn't originally make this script, thought I did add the bit at the bottom that describes which keys do what.)

Well that is their work. Also, even if everybody had the knowhow and equiptment to be a "youtuber", most people wouldn't be very succesfull 'cause you also need to be entertaining; I can imagine most people aren't, even if they think they are.

Sorry. Had to do it.

First come first serve. Enjoy!
