Adobe offers mitigation for Reader 0-day attack, fix is yet to come.
Here is your mitigation fix for lifetime.. use Sumatra PDF and throw away the piece of junk that is Adobe Reader |

| A longer than 1 year product cycle means that they don't develop new technology as fast as nvidia does.. but they need that extra year to get their broken as hell drivers working with their latest products. It's like they are handing nvidia the entire desktop market.. weird |

Well modern PC games most definitely have higher resolution textures than this benchmark though so it would be helpful to actually max out a gpu's ram.... But you are of course right.. is really why I said all engines have this problem.. but to me, a state-of-the-art engine needs to fix this issue. It is literally the only technical reason games don't have super smooth day/night transitions. Unreal Engine 4 can definitely do it properly (they even demoed it) but I wonder how that's going to perform there.
Anyhow, point being, as a "future proof" benchmark this one won't do if it doesn't do anything to fix the issues "old" engines have. I have the same FPS in this benchmark as in BF3 by the way. So apparently I *am* cpu starved. |

Find shadow that casts over your "camera" (on the ground) turn around = shadow disappears, because mountain that causes it is no longer rendered. In fact, nothing behind you beyond a certain very restricted distance is rendered. And this causes huge shadow glitches when the shadows are very long. I assume this is why we can only move the time slider in this hard-steps. not in a smooth progression. Because there is a certain time where shadows are very long and this issue would be glaringly obvious.
This is a pretty serious engine issue, and why this is not a really "awesome" or "state-of-the-art" engine... there is a reason they don't show interiors.. and this is it. That said, at least when it's moon lit or twilight hours the view of the valley is breathtaking. However, during broad day, the shadow issue is drastic. Hopefully they fix that sooner or later...
And texture resolution isn't really all that good either.

If cars were using induction I'd be totally for that.... I just don't think the Tesla car series is there yet. Range is too low, Charging time too high, costs WAY too high. And you can't just park it out in front, it'd be stolen faster than you can get out. Given that the batteries cost like 10k to 30k and contain more chemicals than cola and pepsi products combined....
Tech is not there yet. So I think there is no reason to buy it.. especially li-ion battery packs.. given their plethora of issues with shock and temperature. |

The funny thing is that an Audi A6 is terribly out-dated and in-efficient. Compare the Tesla to a Toyota Prius and things look very different...
Also your math is kinda flawed. a 85kw battery for the Tesla for example, needs to be charged with 102kw since about 20% is lost on charge.
Any way you look at it, a tesla is a terrible idea. Less range, higher cost. There is also the tiny problem that trying to find a recharge location is going to be very challenging in the rural areas.... |

The joke is in Europe these cars are absolutely insanely overpriced as well.. you pay 5 times more per mile/km than with normal fuel. That's one reason why Germany pushes for renewable energy but not electrical cars. Over here, with our winters you'd lose about 50€ per week simply because the batteries drain during cold.
Another one of those technologies that sound good on paper, until you do the math. Even if OIL was scarce and super expensive. Meaning, above 4€ per liter. Even then electricity powered driving would STILL be more expensive. |

I have the feeling that because they again didn't clone Dungeon Keeper even remotely it's going to end up a boring, repetitive game again. I will never get why people (developers) think that they can make a better Dungeon Keeper that is not like Dungeon Keeper.. so far they all sucked...
Mhh, gonna wait for youtube let's plays I guess. |

| I think their first and foremost problem will be that payment providers don't take kindly to such... mystery sale things. In fact, paypal specifically forbids it. So I am actually a bit surprised they offer paypal there.. maybe they got permission.. I hope they do.. otherwise.. well.. paypal is very anal about this kind of stuff. |

Video reviews say the AI will now properly flank and spot you and you can no longer rambo through a level. It is 100% fragile sniper.
But whether it's good or not.. who knows. |

Well as others have said, the postmortem is gonna be an interesting read.. if we ever get to read it.
I feel like you might actually be right because that certainly would explain a lot.. mhh, oh well.
In the end, t'is history. In 6 months nobody will talk about it anymore, but everyone will remember it as the worst Aliens game ever made, and most definitely not part of the canon.
I don't agree with that one by the way -> Gearbox clearly knows how to make polished
3 Words.. DUKE NUKEM FOREVER   
Borderlands 2 is only borderline acceptable. It is not bad, or unpolished as such, but it is not mind blowing awesome either.
So yeah, next game by Gearbox is a 100% not buy for me. Wait and see, and all that. |
