  • Virtual Reality
  • New AMD Zen CPUs
  • Intel Skylake & 5th Gen. Broadwell 
  • NVidia 980 TI & Titan X
  • AMD Fiji XT & Pro

amd stuff for the most part and vertual reality

I hope AMD will crush NVidias cards, simply because I want NVidia's prices to drop and some competition for them.

 

And I'm just sitting here waiting for Witcher 3 support on Linux :/

Yeah, Linux should get more love from the tech and gaming industry.

sorry but for me next year, next year is going to be my favourite. While a behemoth such as fallout 4 comes out next year we are pelted with many exciting games and a dawn of jrpgs being belted onto steam. We also see a massive move for visual novels from mangagamer to steam, they dipped their toes in for the past year but realised on steam they get a lot more sales. Personally 2016 is where shit really gets real. Not just pc gamers, the consoles guys get a massive load of games, windows 10 will likely be fixed of the issues that it will 100% have at launch if past iterations are anything to go by. Eitherway im gonna enjoy every second of it.

We don't know what comes in the future, but this year looks really promising so far.

Alone that 4K gets slowly affordable with DX12 and the 980TI is awesome. That is a huge jump from 1080p.

And that AMD finally releases a new GPU is brilliant. It was about time.

Zen won't be available until next year, I'm not excited to see it this year.

 

AMD's Fury falls behind a Titan X, not necessarily exciting but it's nice to see AMD trying.

 

HBM first gen is great but limited, I'm more excited for gen 2 on Pascal in 2016.

 

If I'm excited for anything, it's Halo 5 on the Xbox One.

if you have to insist you think for yourself, i'm not going to believe you.
