| The only problem with these awesome mods is they break shadows and reflections. I ran a mod that had an amazingly dark night, but as soon as it rained half the city looked like it was hovering as there was no close contact shadowing. |

| Psst, with tf2, planetside 2, overwatch, and many other continuously updated fps games available, you can make a very good shooter but no one wants to buy it if it's a ghost town 6 months later. |

| uhmm... no. The moment a vr experience is broken with some kind of pop up like that, that shit will be gone. Install posters, billboards, product placements, fine. If i am navigating some place and a large ad pops up in 3d space and starts playing a video in my field of view with a big X in the corner, no more. |

| Ugh...that art style, so god awful. It is another reason I totaly passed on battle born. Also frankly if you want me to pay anything for your free to play game then it needs to be shit that looks good. Nothing in this game is ever going to look good! |

| The underground 2 was awesome city driving that was as close to gta with great driving as we would get for a long while. It looked phenomenal and you could just cruze the streets and such. Shift I liked in that I felt like it was a sim, where accurate driving and speed checking was critical and the speed line was a great trainer tool. The rest of the NFS is forgettable (baring NFS2 SE, which brought to us the first real 3d accelerated version of NFS). |

| If we arnt talking gta levels of open world then like the past 4 or 5 games, I am simply not interested. I dont need a shooter, but give me open world freedom in and out of the car. THAT is how you make my driving action fantasy. Last I checked, no ones driving fantasy LIVED in their car the entire time. |

I had never actually heard of paladin until now, and I have overwatch.
The similarities are undeniable and quite funny, it seems like they decided to use overwatch characters as a balanced base, and then originate off that. I feel like there could have been ALOT they could have done to pull the character designs away from overwatch (why is the tank paladin a guy in armor with a rectangle blue shield? You couldn't think of any other character design proficient with large shields? ) I do like the card (talents) system they use to great effect. The side effect unfortunately is if the development team was unable to separate their game from overwatch from the start, how good are they going to be at creating their own talent system that will also remain balanced? This makes me think the game will never be in the tournament circuit.
However it is free to play, and many people out there can't afford much, and it looks like a very solid play, let them enjoy their game.
I do agree though player statistics like "downloaded" and "Signed up" for free to play is just stupid and worthless. |

That is the most USELESS news article I have seen this week. Its like the headline no one wanted but some editor needed to feel he had to make it to keep his job, and inexplicably blue decided it was repost worthy. /facepalm

mp3 needs to completely die off... no.. it doesn't even come close to aac, even at high bitrates. It still murders high frequencies. It is just more then half the people in the world are tone deaf to begin with. Thanks in part due to universal support for mp4, I don't have anything that DOESN'T Support AAC in hardware.
And ogg vorbis can go away.. it may be a clear winner in extreme cases like 64k, but there is no reason we should be making 64k bit music streams of anything. We need to concentrate and making aac the universal audio format... DTS and Dolby compressions not withstanding. |

| tablets coming back in what regard? tablets are a mainstay in the work and entertainment. I don't see little kids at the store with laptops, I see them with tablets. When my vendors come in most of them are using tablets now. Tablet sales may not increase.. but they sure as HELL aren't going to disappear..ever. |

| After several weeks of building and testing OTA and streaming boxes and services, yesterday we officially turned in the boxes and hooked up my own cable modem to an internet only cord cutting. Sling and direct tv now offer much of the cable experience for much less money and equipment management, and none of the additional fee charges. |

| Bungie may not want to give a F about pc.. but with overwatch single handedly kicking ass (and will do so long after) it would be stupid of them to do so. The PC MMO market is a monster and bungie would be missing out on so much untapped revenue. Even squaresoft and rockstar know this. Eitherway I will wait for them, if they want my money they can come after it. |

Of course it's still going to be 2D. If they were going to invest into completely remaking the game engine, why even bother with Starcraft 2?
Who said anything about remaking game engines? We have the perfect engine already! Starcraft 2! This should have been a simple mix of reused assets and new assets to remake starcraft 1.. minus needing to remake cut scenes (not that we wouldn't want to see that). I would bet real money that the amount of work to make starcraft 2 into starcraft 1 would have been about the same amount of work as using a completely different engine (again.. I don't know if its new.. but when was the last time blizzard made a 2d engine?) that uses todays video modes and the high resolution sprites which also need to be drawn IN 3D!!!
I would have been interested in it had it been like SC2.. even todays SC2 looks awesome. This... this just looks like shit. Oh sure I'm sure hardcore SC fans will fart around in it for a while.. but it could have been so much more. |
