One way to look at it is that the 2070 Super, which is a mid-gen refresh of an architecture originally released in 2018, is roughly as fast as the consoles releasing towards the end of 2020.
Yep and the first year of these consoles won't see anything mindblowing or too impressive. Devs are gonna need a lot of time to take advantage of all this game changing SSD stuff. I don't imagine many big pubs/devs are in a rush to change game design or the way they make games to begin with.One way to look at it is that the 2070 Super, which is a mid-gen refresh of an architecture originally released in 2018, is roughly as fast as the consoles releasing towards the end of 2020.

Another World?So guys, I am on a trip of memory lane and I remember how I havent been able to find one of the original games i played. I only remember:
-Action adventure platformer DOS (or maybe super early windows?) game. It was quite intriquent with movement of the screen on all directions
-Guy had a sword and the mc was not a big sprite (basically, he didnt aoccupy a ton of the screen).
-Somewhat of a futuristic scenery in later levels with glass and stuff?
It is hard to remember anthing more so thanks to anyone that tries to help!
Reseteras thread about finding forgotten game titles is called "Games you remember, names you don't." It's pretty active and successful.So guys, I am on a trip of memory lane and I remember how I havent been able to find one of the original games i played. I only remember:

Do you remember colors / visuals? Can't think of anything mainstream with the sword part - but that still describes a lot of games.So guys, I am on a trip of memory lane and I remember how I havent been able to find one of the original games i played. I only remember:

I've been doing the exact same thing. The upside is that with the warm weather and staying off the internet, my garden is looking great.Haven't posted in a while as I've been avoiding the internets outside of YouTube to maintain mental health.
Sounds like I should play through the Blands 2 DLCs first then.Haven't posted in a while as I've been avoiding the internets outside of YouTube to maintain mental health.
Anyway, picked up Borderlands 3 as the -50% first-week sale on Steam seemed like a fair price.
Hot damn this game is good. Dipped into B2 maybe a couple months back so it's relatively fresh in my mind and the difference between the two are pretty staggering. Like way more than I expected.
B3 eclipses B2 in an impressive number of categories. It looks absolutely glorious (can't believe some say they look samey), but perhaps more importantly, the feel of motion and combat are crazy improved over the last game. Seriously, if you have a chance go back and play B2 for a minute. The combat feels utterly stiff & lifeless compared to B3. Level design has seen a shot in the arm to with maps feeling more complex, inc. lots of hidden loot stashes that encourages exploration. Love that the player character is way more chatty. I'm playing solo as Flak, who's a sentient robot, and his combat quips are a hoot. Some real nice QoL improvements such as quest/challenge tracking per zone, plus they have the RE2make deal where if you pass a quest giver or item but see or interact with it, it will pop an icon on your map as a reminder.
Anyway, glad I took the plunge as I had major reservations going in. But they proved for naught as I'm having an absolute blast with the game so far.
I don't think it's going to affect game development much at all. They have 16GB of RAM they can fill. If they keep swapping assets in & out you'll only be able to install a single game on your PS4. Plus that's a game that wouldn't port well to X1X (because they can't sacrifice the entire CPU during gameplay to load assets.The problem that the SSD becoming commonplace really brings up to me is games budget.
If you go from having, say, 50mb/s of throughput to three orders of magnitudes that, then it stands to reason that your asset budget is going to go through the roof, at least to some extent on top of the increase in fidelity that a new system enables. We are already at a point where the vaguely not-too-complicated juggernaut TPS takes 5 to 8 years to develop.
As much as I relish the creative freedom and much-improved hardware baseline this generation provides, I can't shake the sense of uneasiness I get while thinking on the explosion of asset quantity and fidelity.
thread is done WokNow, this is something to excited about
You can also overclock it (silicon lottery permitting).Don't tell me my brand new 2070 Super is already redundant? =/
It's neat, but I think it's already obvious before. If the review is negative with less than 2 hours played, it's most probably already refunded.Steam now shows if a product was refunded in reviews:
Ah, Glad to see you posting over here!Also in regards to all this PS5 and XSX talk, I'm personally out on non-Nintendo consoles unless they go on some sort of Firesale.
I bought a PS4 Pro for a lot of Japanese exclusives which at a rapid-pace have been going Multiplat, and often within six months or less of their original PS4 launch. So I've basically got no reason for consoles at this point.
From what I understand, the SSD is much superior..PS5 is is weaker AND doesn't guarantee back-compat? Not even just PS4 gen can be 100% confirmed?
Garbage.
hi, 4K eye-candy gamer here. (no seriously, I'm the kinda PC gamer ok with 30FPS as long my games are max pretty.) What exactly is a faster SSD gonna do for pushing visual tech further?From what I understand, the SSD is much superior..
If your favorite plastic box is stronger than competitor then power matter. If your favorite plastic box is weaker than competitor then only games matter. You can already see this happening before and after PS5 spec announcement lol.Yeah, that's probably the only thing that PS fans can latch into in this war.
It will be an interesting gen for sure. Do people prefer power after all? Or is it games that really matter in the end? XBox or Playstation, who will win in the end (in terms of unit sales)?
Wait on Humble and buy it from there with Subscriber discountOctopath is a SE self-developed game, right? It will NEVER go below 50% off.
I feel like when it comes to the mainstream who only buy a console to play FIFA/NBA/Madden, etc and Fortnite, power would matter a lot.If your favorite plastic box is stronger than competitor then power matter. If your favorite plastic box is weaker than competitor then only games matter. You can already see this happening before and after PS5 spec announcement lol.
But for me, as primarily PC gamer, the only reason I'll get a console is exclusive games and exclusive games only.
Nah, with the current exchange rate of US$ to my currency, I wouldn't want to buy anything labeled in $.Wait on Humble and buy it from there with Subscriber discount
I completely agree, I'm loving it. I haven't played any BL since pre-sequel came out but still I feel like everything is better. I went into before how much better the worlds were but you are right, just playing it is much better. I also love that it takes itself much more serious but still humorous. Also, I can't remember how the music used to be but the music is genuinely quite good in BL3!Haven't posted in a while as I've been avoiding the internets outside of YouTube to maintain mental health.

It was like 58% off on GMG for VIP subscribers a few months ago lolOctopath is a SE self-developed game, right? It will NEVER go below 50% off.
I was referring to Steam discounts.It was like 58% off on GMG for VIP subscribers a few months ago lol
I think that’s correct, but it’s worth looking into some more. So, for example, I recall that redeeming a month of regular GP for PC only converted to 20 days if you had GP Ultimate at that moment, because it extends both. I think the same shenanigans apply with Gold.So if xbox gold time converts to ultimate time, then wouldn't the best be to add cheap but long gold time first and then add smallest ultimate time to get cheap game pass for the longest?
