GeForce Ampere event will probably be in August and release will be in Sept with Cyberpunk.
Prices are gonna be ridiculous with all this talk of DLSS, RTX, AI and 7NM stuff. Their marketing dept is drooling right now.
Expecting 3070 to be like 500$ at this point.

My new monitor finally arrived today.
I'll put it together when I finish working later today.
Now, I need a proper game to test it.
Something to truly show the quality of it.
Since I've been playing a lot of INTI CREATES titles, I think I'll use Gal*Gun: Double Peace to test it.
What do you think, lashman?

I"ve been playing Battletech again, now into the career mode with the community assets bundle mod. It's ridiculous that there are so many new unites and items are added by this mod, it's like a completely new game.
You mean heaven.
Lol, did anyone see the "Marbles RTX" thing at the Nvidia keynote?
We were working on a game tentatively called "Sphere Spectacle" since summer of last year which is basically a 100% raytraced Marble Madness (using Vulkan on a custom engine). We put it on the backburner due to other projects though.
It has some spiffy features like

It has some spiffy features like
- Light refraction (which I haven't seen in Marbles RTX, eat your heart out Jensen
) - 100% Dynamic sound effects depending on marble physics (e.g. rolling speed + material)
- Steam controller support with custom haptic feedback to make you feel the ball rolling.
- 0 texture design. As in, the game ships with literally zero textures. All surface detail (what there is -- it's mostly geometry) is procedural.
- 1000 Hz physics timestepping.

Gal*Gun isn't the best game to test

Yeah, I was just messing with lashman, because of the theme of the game.Gal*Gun isn't the best game to test
I'm not actually planning on doing any actual "big" test.
I'll use the same method I use with graphics cards: run old games, and max everything, and "wow" at Deux Ex, or something similar, running at a high resolution.
So yeah, watch me play the same games I usually play (Dragon Marked For Death, DARIUSBURST, Dandy Dungeon, Euro Truck Simulator 2, and I'll probably start Blaster Master Zero 2), but on a shiny new monitor.
The monitor that broke down was actually 1680x1050, so for the past week I've already experienced the joy of playing these same games in 1920x1080.
Yeah, not that one :ITell us everything you know about PS4 games coming to PC and we'll be very happy.
Some things will go better, some won't but here's hope at a personal level for you everything goes amazingly well. :_

However, it's totally and utterly unfinished. Basically in tech demo state.
- Light refraction (which I haven't seen in Marbles RTX, eat your heart out Jensen
- 100% Dynamic sound effects depending on marble physics (e.g. rolling speed + material)
- Steam controller support with custom haptic feedback to make you feel the ball rolling.
- 0 texture design. As in, the game ships with literally zero textures. All surface detail (what there is -- it's mostly geometry) is procedural.
- 1000 Hz physics timestepping.
pretty please?
I'd play that tbh,
Still remember the C64 version. It wasn't smooth to control, but fun.
The C64 version was better in that regard imo, not as good as the NES version though.
I raged a LOT at NES Marble Madness when I was a kid. Those damn slides! And that Black Marble! 
It took me longer than I expected, but I'm finally done with my Disco Elysium review!

uPlay represents 40% of PC net bookingsso i think we can safely assume steam is the other 60% (with egs being something like 1-2% tops) ... even after they fucked off ...
nope ... steam ... all their old crap keeps selling like crazy during each sale
As expected, only 25% off for Fallout 76. The game has received increased value lately.
I guess I'll just try the free weekend for now.

I think EGS numbers must be higher than that because of the free games, they probably consider every unit given as a sale since Epic is paying for it, plus all the guarantee sales payout of the "co-exclusives" games.
crossposting from the VN thread in case anyone's interested
Apex (and maybe the EA Access library) coming sooner than we might be thinking
Tetris Effect is out now for Quest.

Tetris® Effect: Connected on Meta Quest | Quest VR Games
🏆 #1 game to play in the Eurogamer 100 list (2024) Try the free trial today! Tetris® Effect: Connected builds upon the original Tetris Effect, enhancing the innovative single-player experience with co-op and competitive multiplayer modes. Play it solo or with friends in cross-platform multiplayer!
www.oculus.com
In case you or any other user wonders why it's out for the Quest, answer is simple, Quest is considered an stand-alone version and not PCVR so the WGS deal doesn't interfere with this and that's why it's not the version for Oculus Rift S/CV1 and why we still don't have a page for it on Steam (confirmed already 3 times or so)Tetris Effect is out now for Quest.

I know you know but you know if any other users know? I don't knowI know.
Hence why it's not out on the Rift store yet.

Me Me Me!!!
People keep telling me I'm crazy, and I'll repeat time and time again: Resident Evil 6 is my favourite RE game, period.
As soon as you "get" the gameplay, as in, start basically mostly shooting just to temporarily "stun" the bad guys, only to then start drop-kicking them, and crush their heads on the ground with your foot, you are in for a good time.
Just give me The Sims 4 with Steam Achievements and Trading Cards, EA!Apex (and maybe the EA Access library) coming sooner than we might be thinking
I'll take Dragon Age 2 as well, thanks.
Yeah! Its great fun.Me Me Me!!!

Nearly 3 straight weeks now Ive been checking all those sites for Oculus Rift S and its always sold out across all of them.
But twice now this past week Best buy showed it available and lets you add it to cart. Then you click check out and it says its sold out
I really should have bought that cheap Odyssey + late last year when it was going around for like 200$.
Also I read there are rumors of new Oculus headset coming later this year. And some other rumored HP headset in collab with Valve.
Now I feel like I'm about to buy a headset and much better tech will release later this year.
Its gonna be my birthday soon and I just want to play Alyx and Skyrim VR
Ughhh fuck everything. Fuck video games.

And, a lot of content. With a lot of variety.
Each of the campaigns almost feels like a different game. Different UI and everything.
You want more horror, suspenseful content? You have Leon's campaign. You want to play a third-person, action game (kind of like something from the Gears of War series)? You have the Chris Redfield campaign. There's content, I thought, to please almost everyone.
People called the game bloated. I call it big, dumb, b-movie fun!
Oh, and the extra modes are a lot of fun.
You can easily spend more time there, than in the main game.
Always weary about Paradox games on Day 1 after Stellaris and Imperator, but more likely to give this one a try given that it is also launching on Game Pass.
Yep agreed. There is so much content its ridiculous. I like the skill system where you unlock various buffs and helpful things to mix it up a bit. Just unlocked infinite ammo for handguns! woo.

Idk if I've made a driveby post here before regarding this but fuck it, here's another.
Sea of Thieves is damn good in groups of three to four. Get your socially distanced sibilings and friends together and tackle some treasure hunting.
Xbox gamepass for PC has been worth it for me for just that one game. And they've got DOZENS of high quality things to tool around with there.

Where the fuck else can you and a couple of other drunken 30 somethings stand on the bow of a sailing ship, playing instruments badly as it sinks? Well, probably a lot of places but to get an xbox achievement.
That's priceless.
Also nothing like sailing away with the ship while my brother grabs the 40th plank of wood and hearing him ask everyone where the fuck the ship went? It went back to its home planet and died while I set it one fire, that's where. Haven't heard a grown man so angry at a video game in YEARS. Worth it.
OP
The Samsung one sometimes still f
Goes in sale for about $250USD every so often
Maybe I should have gotten one as well. But I wanted an index (which I don't own).
As for the HP thing that has been confirmed. It's MSxHPxValve.
I don't know if MS has mentioned another wave of WMR HMDs but this HMD may end up spearheading that? An HMD that is about the price of an Rift S but aimed at schools and for gamers? Different models?
I might jump back into the game because on Origin the game would always freeze and I had to drop it because of that.Apex (and maybe the EA Access library) coming sooner than we might be thinking
