This is the same launcher that used to grab your data straight from Steam without your permission, so no big surprise here.

I hope they only talk about ray tracing and not raster performance since 1% of games on Steam support ray tracing. That's what gamers really want. They want to enable RTX features and tank their frame rate. I'm excited.

I was one of the suckers that helped fund this and I don't want to play it.

So GeForce NOW requires a controller, and Fortnite expects touch. Nvidia is working on touch, but it's not there yet. So Fortnite is not on GeForce NOW yet, but will be soon. OK. Way to stick it to Apple.

pedophiles will probably use it

Bummer. I was hoping for a MOBA.

Tab should have been discontinued 60 years ago.

I reclaimed about 75gb by uninstalling Campaign and Special Ops.

Good advice.

Hmm, I was running RTSS and didn't notice my CPU (i7-9700k @ 5.0) going to 100% at any point. But, it did seem like something was off when you are first person in a hanger and I'm sure it was probably this 30fps cap. I'll have to look more closely at stuff tonight when I get a chance to play it more. But don't get me wrong, I'm not even remotely suggesting anyone should buy this game.

I played some of the single player last night and it was pretty fun. I had no performance issues or crashes, but I don't do VR.

I had read a comment that it has been dumbed down in some way in comparison to older titles. I honestly don't remember all the details of the original X-Wing game any more, but it seemed like the stuff you would expect is there. You are able to allocate power to engines, weapons, or shields, and you can toggle between boosting forward or back shield at the expense of the other, etc.

I haven't played enough of it to make any kind of call on it, but so far I haven't found anything wrong with it and enjoyed what I have played of it.

Nvidia Reflex is really good IMO, and it's supported all the way back to the 9xx series. I've played Valorant and Modern Warfare with reflex enabled and it feels great. Very responsive.

Cloud streamed games is the FUTURE! But here today end user Nvidia cards sell out in minutes.

huh never heard of Manticore before today. Hopefully something cool will come out of this.

Epic feels the same way

Great game. It's right up there with Dead Cells.

Bummer this a VR title. I'd love to play a modern Metal of Honor Allied Assault type game without goggles.

EA should pick up some of the toxic pervert devs that have been let go lately to spice things up.

Can we get a remastering of Soldier of Fortune? Loved shooting limbs off in that one.

If they do that then I need a remake of Kingpin. LOVED that game.

That's already happening.

Is this a re-release of the 2013 release?

I'm not sure but I think this may be the first time that an original PC game is getting a facelift after the remake has been released.

NM, mis-read.

Is this a re-release of the 2013 release? I won't even pose the question regarding if we need another release of this.
