3090 here. Any smoke coming from PC as a result? Asking before attempting this "Preview", lol.

Well... My 3060ti was able to push 25-ish fps on 1080p with ultra perfomance DLSS. It didn't burn.

"Feature Creep: The Creeperest" released. For the love of god, release PoE2 and stop overdoing this. At this point both new players and returning players face a massive wall when starting a new toon with all the system-over-system-over-system added through the leagues.

Feature Creep: The Game. I have more than 1500hrs on this. When I decided to go back to it last year after a good 4 years break, the amount of new systems shoveled into me into the first 10mins made me uninstall the game.

What about Valorant? Toxicity there is like 4 times the one on LoL

I remember playing this (as "Exhumed") on the Playstation 1. That's about all I remember though since the game itself wasn't exactly memorable.

That game (console version), did Metroid Prime before Metroid Prime. The PC version was a different beast, but with stellar level design.

Damn. They got me with Warcraft 3 Reforged and it was pure trash.

Will they get me again? I LOVED D2. Was my prime gaming years of life. This looks really done well from what they've shown. To that effect, it compliments what they showed of the Rogue in D4. Like the graphics color palette are near identical. That's a great thing for someone who thought D3 was way too colorful and WoWish.

I'm glad D4 is going back more so towards it roots. I remember everyone saying, oh well during D1 and D2 days with the sprites, they had to look like that and it couldn't be full of colors that D3 could present with 3D. Well, no. As you can see, D4 is doing it correct with 3D, greyish/dark colors and looking medieval gothic as f**k, just how Diablo should be.

Where's the people that whine all the time with "This game is all grey and brown" when we need them?

Most of what they showed of 4 looks like it could come straight out of 3 if not for some more up to date graphics, pallete wise it's nearly identical

Brah, your nuts. D3 has the color BLUE AND PURPLE IN ITS WORLDS. I don't think you ever saw those colors in D2.

D3 and D2 are night and day when it comes to their color palette. I think D4 is in the right direction to go back to D1 and D2 era. That's not a bad thing at all. Diablo was always Blizzard's mature franchise and should go back to it. If D1 and D2 were rated R, Diablo 3 was easily PG-13. Diablo 4 looks to go back to R and I'm loving it for that.

So the manly-man flag hanging behind you is a half of a rainbow? Neat.

Literally every high level sorceress had a purple armor in D2.

Seriously, the "D2 was oh so gritty and cool" argument is lame AF. It was that way because the game ran in 256 colours, and they didn't have many spare colors for the scenery. Imho escenarios in D2 have been always fucking ugly, I agree they look somewhat cool for a 256 colour game, but they're almost monochromatic if you look closer to them. And most sprites seriously lacked definition, they where too ambitious for the tech they were working with, which was super outdated by 2001 (Baldur's Gate ran in 16bit color 3 years earlier, and ran at 30fps, not 25). We had to wait 20 years to see what the hell does Mephisto look like.

Where's the people whining all the time with "this game is all grey and brown" when we need them?

Most of the people who experienced the file size limit corruption are those who've hacked the game and given themselves an absurd number of items and|or quantities of items. All that stuff has to store somewhere, so CDPR decided it should go into the save file. Sure, one could argue, CDPR should've known people would cheat, but it's not their responsibility to fix self-inflicted pain. That said, they did correct the issue so people can go back to older saves and hack to their heart's delight.

Incorrect, those who encountered the problem first were the ones who put to use the crafting $ exploit.

If you are to spend hours crafting for the $ exploit in the PC version... Why won't you just Cheat Engine your cash and call it a day?

The most idiotic awards ever. Another year, and another year with Witcher 3, GTAV, DOTA2 and Fallout 4 among the nominees.

WaltC nailed it. The guy is just a glorified level designer. I'd love to hear what his former coworkers (like at Midway) have to say about his coding ability.

Except for the fact that E1M7 is one of the best levels ever. But whatever...

Let's see what it's about. Won't give it two cents without being 100% sure it's great since Daikatana happened.

The jump to 4K makes little difference, other than needing less AA. But everything else still looks the same.

That one was fun. No amount of AA will make anything look even nearly 4K, not even 1440p-like. 1080p looks blurry AF after going 1440p/4K.

I think his point was if you need a $1,400 video card to get a stable 1080/60, that is terrible -- not that 1080/60 in of itself is terrible.

This is what I meant.

I know what raytracing is, I know its computing cost. It's just I'd rather play in 4K with a 1080ti which costs less than half the money, than spending 1400$ just for 1080/60 with cute reflections.

It's too early for this tech.

I am waiting to read about raytracing in BFV - how good does it work with 2070/80/80Ti?

Guess you didn't even look for it. It runs terrible. Stable 1080/60 on the 2080ti only terrible.

We already have BloodGDX, which runs like a charm. I don't think it needs the Nightdive "bloom" treatment.

Finally...

I recently spent a bit of time with the game, wanting to get my shooter reflexes back in order. 12 hours later, I came out of the game quite agitated with it, because it's still very buggy.

About 1 in 4 games disconnected me to the lobby without warning, mid-game. Maybe 1 in 5 games, everyone would jitter/stutter/teleport randomly (for a good portion of the game), which can absolutely ruin a fight. I had at least a few instances where the game crashed simply loading into a match, or the "Play" button didn't do anything and I had to restart.

I also play on a PCIE SSD and the game's loading screens/wait times actually got really frustrating too. Queue up -> select map -> map load screen -> play match -> another loading screen (several seconds) to see stats -> forced to wait up to 15 seconds before it auto-queues you up again! (AND you can't even back out of the auto-queue in this time! if you have to get up for a few minutes, you have to close the game basically!)

It is fun, but damn if those issues didn't ruin the game for me. I'm sure it could be fixed, but I'm surprised it's still got these issues.

I played in the beta and never had those issues. So they actually made the game worse? Why am I not surprised...

It's BS, I play a couple games everyday, and got like 1 disconnect in the last 3 months.

If I can't cut off arms with circular saw blades I'm not playing. Pfft, "Chasm."

Anyway, Darks, people here frequently post that misleading image trying to show that FPS level design in the 1990s was superior to now. I think lots of people want a more simple game sometimes. And there's a lot of depth and cool mechanics you can add to a platformer now that you couldn't back then.

When I first saw this, that was the Chasm that came to mind. Played the hell out of it back in the day. Wonder if it's on GOG?

And it runs like shit on DOSBox. But people is getting there:

Blue's News (and its readers) has historical ties with Quake.

Quake fans should not miss Strafe, including those who played it on release. It's much improved and it's a great roguelike with Quake-style (albeit faster paced) FPS gameplay.

It's still terrible... But at least the performance doesn't degrade over time until it's a slideshow anymore.

BL was nice because of the novelty factor... But BL2 was a chore, a complete borefest with irritating retarded humor... Pass.

Is this where they undo the launch day change and Vader takes a month to get again? LOL

There was so much BS being said about how long it took to unlock a hero. Within the first 5 hours of gameplay I already had earned more than enough credits to get Darth... So get over it already.

Not to say that unlocking the heroes first is a idiotic approach.
