    Mozilla and Epic Preview Unreal Engine 4 Running in Firefox

    There seemed to be quite a few games that have already signed on with UE4. I counted around 30 on Wikipedia. UE3 looks like it had in the triple digits of games set up with it, so I'm guessing there are a ton of developers out there that are familiar with Epic's toolset and will want to...

    Mantle is here

    Yeah SteamOS is what I meant. Thanks for clarifying. I don't know anything about Linux really, but it doesn't seem like it has as well a fleshed out 3D API as windows. Maybe this will have a bigger impact there than on windows.

    Mantle is here

    Has anything been stated about Steam support for Mantle? I'm really tempted to build a steambox, and I'd love if this would boost FPS there as well.

    Gamplay experience impact of SSD vs HDD

    I had wanted to submit this thread as a simple reply to the [H] article on SSD vs HDD real world performance, but I didn't read that article until the thread had already been closed.

    The Real Differences Between PS4 and Xbox One Performance

    Couldn't help but feel the same way. I was also a little surprised/skeptical when the author claimed that not only were Microsoft's drivers "horrible" but that they were also worse than the PS4's. I really struggle to see how that could be the case when Microsoft has over a decade of...

    Hackers Reveal Nasty New Car Attacks

    Actually, withing the article they state that researchers at UC San Diego have already proven there are multiple techniques for hacking via wireless transmission. These two guys were simply more interested in showing what can be done once inside, rather than a means to entering since that had...
