    UK Shops to Sell “Porn Pass” Access Code to Allow Adults to Visit X-rated Sites

    What about the uncountable international porn sites that have no interest in enforcing this? You can't regulate all the porn.

    NBA 2K18 Requires 5GB per Save File on the Nintendo Switch

    The Switch doesn't store savedata on the SD card, and you can't move it there. (piracy related?); only game updates are on the SD. Unless they mean 5GB of mandatory install install + saves, then this is going to be an issue. Sidenote: The Switch's internal storage is on it's own separate PCB...

    Assassin's Creed: Origins' New Combat System Detailed

    I like what I see, but then I see numbers popping off of characters, and arbitrary stats on weapons. You're not an assassin, you're a loot-and-stab RPG character pretending to be an assassin.

    Oddworld Creator Calls out Nintendo's Third-Party Support: Switch Has “No Hope”

    I've only bought a Wii, WiiU and Switch for Nintendo games. At least with the Wii there were a lot of exclusive, 3rd party games.

    Geoff Keighley: Project Scorpio Is $499

    Price might work if it really can best the PS4 Pro (I dunno, secret 5k mode?), but it's not worth that much if you can play the same games comfortably on the Xbone. More pixels and frames alone do not make a better gameplay experience.

    Far Cry 5 Teasers Confirm American Setting, Full Reveal This Week

    Although you can surly make a compelling Ubisoft-Open-World game in the American outdoors, it doesn't seem very exotic compared to every other Far Cry game. Betting on name recognition?

    Dell Expects Booming Growth in Gaming PC Sales over Next Five Years

    I believe it will be less that the gaming PC market grows, but that the power of your average PC or Windows/linux tablet will be enough to play whatever game you want, thus increasing the PC gamer market.

    This Is What Xbox Games Look like on Project Scorpio on 4K and 1080p Displays

    I'm seeing a little differences in the images, but not "buy a new console" levels of difference. The real issue is, they used all this power to make a higher-res game, but won't bother using it to improve gameplay.

    Call of Duty: WWII Livestream and Reveal Trailer

    I still clearly remember the glut of WW2 shooters years ago; I'm not feeling a strong desire to go back to it unless you do something uncommon (Russian campaign) or rare (Axis campaign), and treat it with dignity.

    Apple Forces Recyclers to Shred All iPhones and MacBooks

    You'd think that, but I remember a job placement in my teens where we demagnetized hard drives, wiped desktops for donations and smashed hundreds of year-old Blackberries with a sledgehammer in an office basement. You know, for security.

    Forza 7, Battlefront 2, Red Dead Redemption 2 to Showcase 4K on Project Scorpio Xbox

    4k is nice, but if the game assets look the same, and you still have an iffy framerate, have you really gained that much?

    Cosplayer with No Game Experience Was Lead Facial Animator for ME: Andromeda?

    There was something going around that the rigging system for animation wasn't overhauled from past games; leading to some of the oddities, but this more than one animator's issue. Like ME3, I'm betting QC and resources were limited, along with some rough deadlines set by EA.

    Here's What “Zelda: Breath of the Wild” Looks like in 4K

    The CEMU team is spitting out new builds quickly. The latest one runs locked 30fps in areas even the Switch has issues with. The physics engine is still being worked on emulating; same with the grass.

    Android Challenges Windows as World’s Most Popular Operating System in Terms of Internet Usage

    I think this has less to do with the fact that Android is overtaking Windows, and more the fact that as a culture, we have had an exponential rise in smartphone utility and ubiquity. Everyone's got a phone, and likely a dataplan, so they are more likely to use it on the go, away from a PC.

    Nintendo Isn't Worried about the Dead Pixels on Your Switch

    I'm pretty sure there's the base undocked GPU speed, the 25% boosted undocked speed, and the much higher docked GPU speed. (307Mhz vs 384Mhz vs 768Mhz)

    Only a “Handful” of Mass Effect: Andromeda's Planets Can Be Explored

    What the Game Industry Thinks of Nintendo’s Switch

    I love Nintendo games, am indifferent to their hardware, and hate how they treat their fans and customers. I'll pick up a Switch whenever Xenoblade 2 gets a solid release date. Actually, the last 3 consoles I bought were "Tetsuya Takahashi/Monolithsoft game-playing devices", with bonus other games.

    Gears of War 4 Introduces Versus Social Cross-Play Between XBone and Win 10 PCs

    If there's any sort of location-based damage, and pin-point hit-scan weapons, a mouse will win in a straight firefight. Console players skilled in map layout and movement mechanics will be able to beat them, but it'll be a slaughterhouse if we have players with equal knowledge.

    Mass Effect: Andromeda Multiplayer Will Impact Single Player Story

    I believe they patched out the need to do MP in ME3 to get all the endings. MP content that ties into the story is fine, and it sounds from that quote they know that people still want to play it all SP. The quality of the actual game however, I'm still going to question.

    Microsoft Exec on PS4 Pro: 4.2 Teraflops Is Not Enough to Do True 4K

    It's plenty of horsepower to do 4k, just not at the level of visual fidelity of the current AAA PS4 games. I would rather they make rock-solid 1080p games with good AA implementations.

    Engineers Propose 'Network Cookies' As Net Neutrality Fix

    Nintendo Takes Down Fan-Made Metroid 2 Remake

    Metroid Database is not the primary place for AM2R, but the official site for the project ( Project AM2R - Another Metroid 2 Remake ) just dropped their links as well. This has been in active development for 6 years without Nintendo doing a thing, even with multiple demos. While it's in the...

    Getting Caught Using A VPN In The UAE Will Cost You Over $500,000

    4K Xbox Scorpio Targeting 6TFLOPS, 1.5 Times Faster Than PS4K
