it very interesting to me that all the games that people are excited about have no release window (cyberpunk, starfield, elder scrolls vi, even halo infinite). what are the odds we dont see these games til the next generation of consoles? my bet is pretty high.
Qualcomm basically controls the mobile market, Nvidia the discrete gpu/AI side of things, and AMD is back in town slowly chipping away again at their cpu lead, Fabs are pretty close to being on par after Intels 10nm being over 2 years late. they are starting to feel pressure in almost every...
where it will still take quite a few more years i am happy intel is finally treating the discrete gpu market seriously and getting into it. the more competition in the field the faster the innovation will come. nvidia can rest easy right now because it has a clear lead and AMD does not have the...
There were rumors last week that Microsoft wanted to acquire EA as well. But in reality they are nothing but rumors. EA is financially fine and if Microsoft can spend 25 billion on Linkedin (still have no idea how that company was valued for that much) could you even fathom how much EA would ask...
i think the problem is that the majority of people expect vr to be good and cheap. right now you can have one or the other not both. It just like any technology its going to be expensive at first to produce and develop but after time it will get cheaper. they produced all these cheap "vr ready"...
While i dont necessarily agree with how they are doing it I do believe that windows does needs to be trimmed down quite a bit. How many lines of code over how many decades are still in windows because a handful of companies need it to run some archaic but very expensive machinery? while im not...
You said it yourself there would be LESS. Like most things in life were never going to totally fix the problem but that doesnt mean we shouldnt try to make things better. I really hate this we cant fix it completely so lets not even try mentality
While i to for the longest time thought that unions should die and go away because of how corrupt they can be I can still to this very day see why they were created in the first place. Just look at all the scummy things that companies like Uber, and other gig economy corps do to their...
VR is still in its infancy. Its hard getting a really good VR experience with a very high end set up let alone headsets that cost around $300 only. They want to hop on the mass adoption train but were still a good 5 + years out til the hardware and software kinks are worked out well enough that...
exactly this. could you imagine a true crysis sequel made on the modern cryengine? it would bring a gtx titan to its knees! :D i honestly dont know how they make money anymore. they really dont make games anymore (looking closely at their battle royale game coming out, seems interesting) and...
Yeah bf4 was a mess for the first year or so. the funny thing is i had more fun playing bf4 in the mess state then i do bf1 to this day.
i am a little concerned about the "leaks". im not opposed to smaller maps but if dice doesnt think about map design/layout (something they are pretty bad at)...
Agreed, What i really hope is that both Sony and Microsoft in the soonish future launch a console with a powerful APU and an empty upgrade slot for a dedicated discrete gpu (1 model only produced every few years). This way when the apu get a little long in the tooth you pop in a gpu and youre...
They realized their Mobile OS was a failure (had some good ideas but a failure none the less) why cant they realize that their browser is as well. so much time and energy spent on it when other parts of windows could really use it
Google isnt the one responsible for the fracture of Android really, I blame the manufacturers mostly for that. They are the ones that take android and customize it to their liking. Google doesnt force them to customize it. The manufacturers are also the ones responsible for pushing out the...
I think part of the problem is that AAA publishers are trying to recoup costs for things that they shouldnt be spending on. I find it crazy that advertising for a AAA game can cost more that the development of a AAA game. Most people who are going to buy your game are roughly paying attention to...
This, as time goes on im slowly leaning to eventually getting an iphone to try out (been rocking my galaxy s5 for the last few years). i really dont buy phones that often so the price of the iphone doesnt bother me, but there is no way i will touch a phone thats body is partially made of glass...
well, it looks like for 7nm intel might switch away from silicon to gallium nitride/arsenide based transistors https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2015/02/intel-forges-ahead-to-10nm-will-move-away-from-silicon-at-7nm/
completely agree, i have a verizon s5 with a locked bootlaoder as well. im saving up my money and when i find a smartphone that interest me im just going to flat out buy it since getting it though the carrier is so so terrible.
What I dont understand is why their is all this cry for backdooring encryption when it can and has been broken in the past? The FBI was in this same situation a few years back and paid Celebrite to break into it. So, it can be done and we know it can be done. Its just law enforcement wanting to...
i do agree with you but forget about the new stuff they add. what about all the 15 + year old code still in windows that are used by next to no one. I know there are a lot of specialized machines/software that needs some old code but you cant tell me microsoft couldnt cut it out and if you need...
Im sorry but ive never understood this stance because in REALITY it very rarely works. If we didnt give money to X corporation because it did something scummy/immoral you wouldnt have any software running on your computer, you wouldnt even have a computer or any other electronic device, you...
I honestly dont see the problem with micro transactions if done properly. Im tired of developers/publishers releasing a game 6 months too soon making a few patches and then basically dropping support for it because they are working on the next version (looking at you EA/DICE) If we could have a...
Another really good site to compare VPN services is called That One Privacy Site- https://thatoneprivacysite.net/vpn-comparison-chart/ Great place that grades many different aspects of VPN providers. I personally use PIA right now just because its so quick and cheap but if I were more paranoid...
i remember reading somewhere that the reason why the new iphone has a smaller battery than the iphone 7 was because they needed to make room for the induction coil. sigh, maybe one day Apple will realize people prioritize battery life probably the most and make there phone a mm or 2 thicker but...
i think you have a solid theory but wouldnt it also be easier to get a better deal from AMD for the infotainment as well than going with Intel? i mean I dont think Intel is going to give them much of a discount vs NVidia. I also would find it easier working with 1 company for Infotainment and...
I was thinking the same thing. Not too shocking though. If my memory serves me correctly Microsoft dropped Nvidia after the original Xbox in favor of AMD because Nvidia was a PITA to work with
Where i believe you are right that Intel usually keeps the newest process node to themselves my guess is that it is getting so expensive Intel wants to recoup their money faster.
guys, it says it was pirated over a billion times NOT that a billion people pirated the season. More like people watched a few episodes multiple times.
Why does it have to be people are following them blindly? Its sad but true that AMD cannot compete with NVIDIA in some segments. Want to run newer released games in something greater than 1080P and high FPS? Sadly, AMD really cant do that for a lot of games with a single card. Also, in the...
Game is adding FPS only servers hopefully in the beginning of August. I think that will help sales a great deal. I like the games concepts but i really hate 3rd person when it comes to shooters and the switch between 3rd and 1st is clunky not even to mention the whole being able to see around...
I personally am very impressed with the ryzen architecture. im sure this has been mentioned by others in various threads but I think the problem that people are having is not with ryzen's architecture per say but with its manufacturing process. Im pretty sure we all expected that ryzens IPC...
I think VR is here to stay but people need to realize its going to be a few more years before its more affordable and has the applications/titles that you will want to buy a VR/AR setup for.
Right now when it comes to VR you can do it cheap or you can do it with higher fidelity/greater options...
