  1. Haha Google Stadia With Destiny 2, it’s even more obvious that the game isn’t running at the highest settings. On a Chromecast Ultra, a “4K” stream looked closer to 1080p, and my colleague Tom Warren and I swore that the 1080p streams we were getting in the Chrome web browser looked more like 720p. Initially, Google told us that it was using the highest-resolution, highest-fidelity build of Destiny 2 available. But Bungie later confirmed that our eyes weren’t deceiving us. “When streaming at 4K, we render at a native 1080p and then upsample and apply a variety of techniques to increase the overall quality of effect,” a Bungie rep said, adding that D2 runs at the PC equivalent of medium settings. That explains why the Xbox One X build, which runs at a native 4K and with higher-res assets, looks so much better than Stadia.
  2. I saw a screenshot of a fuck ton of cans of green Monster on a table, and I thought it was a goof. I guess Kojima fans will suck down anything huh?
  3. first track — elyc9 7hres absolutely fucking delivers.
  4. I didn't like that they brought real Cooper back so early. Should've kept Dougie around until like, 2 mins before the end.
  5. Before everyone starts throwing a fit hyping it up — the official My Bloody Valentine website expires tomorrow. It doesn't mean anything other than they didn't renew the domain.
  6. Yeah I wish that had been incorporated into the PC version too (no reason why it couldn’t have been), would’ve really made a big difference to immersion. i agree that it is a little bit too long. Also the end buildup is inconsistent with the Alien lore (you’ll know what I mean if you’ve played the game)
  7. Alien Isolation is great. i don’t think the experience will translate well to a handheld. That game needs to be played in the dark, big screen, with loud sound system or headphones. Playing it on your daily commute will take something away from the experience
  8. Also it looks like it's going to be Epic Games Store exclusive. LOL.
  9. I don't think it'll make a difference — as with any fanaticism, Kojima fans will likely double dip anyways (if they have a PC and a PS4). I reckon the amount of newcomers to Kojima stuff will be minimal at best. However, if he were to announce Google Stadia release I'm very sure that would change the tide. Very sure.
  10. Haha Bethesda (Fallout 76). Haha Google Stadia (again, because of Nintendo-style artificial scarcity of hardware, for the reason of staggering the load on servers)
  11. Oh I agree — I refuse to deal with Epic Games Store. My comment was more aimed at the conversation of why would someone pay for a game when they can get it inclusive as part of a subscription.
  12. Because people sometimes like to support developers, in much the same way that people sometimes like to support artists, and musicians.
  13. There is a reason that place is known as Blerp around these parts…
  14. https://www.theverge.com/2019/10/16/20918208/google-stadia-controller-wireless-tv-chromecast-ultra-cloud-gaming haha Google Stadia.
  15. Ehhh, DOOM 2016 was developed and came out whilst id were under Bethesda…I know Bethesda get a shitty rap (I don't know from experience, I don't really play any games of theirs) but id Software are treated as pretty much an independent studio from what I've seen. I could get surprised this time around though…maybe Bethesda are throwing their weight around. They'd be pretty stupid to mess with what they've got though. As for Willits, yeah he left in July. I think there's only Kevin Cloud left from the original DOOM crew
  16. Basically, even if the game released when 3D Realms last worked on it, it would've been a bit of a tone deaf game. Duke3D was definitely a product of its time. And whilst Gearbox really haven't earned any respect after the endless bullshit that seems to come from their direction, I really don't blame them for Duke Nukem Forever being a flop — that was all on 3D Realms for taking the piss for years, and reigniting the hype machine every so often. With regards to DOOM Eternal, the fact that the Switch isn't going to be a launch platform anymore is a big deal…when DOOM 2016 came out on the Switch it seemed to be a big thing, and for them not to launch on that console doesn't look good. Also the Invasion Mode not being there at launch is another thing — I personally couldn't care less, I won't be enabling that shit. But it's something they were hyping up and seemed to want as a part of the game from the get-go. Haha, Hunt Down The Freeman
