Installed Control Ultimate and it is bringing my computer to its knees.

I have a 1070 and am only doing 1080p, but whew boy. Ray tracing instantly brings the framerate under 30 (expected), on High Settings I can almost get 60 all the time (its closer to 50-55). If I turn down the MSAA I can get 60ish. However I haven't gotten into a big combat yet, so uh... not sure that's going to hold either LOL.

I'm sad the DLSS features are locked behind requiring a RTX card since that technology seems like it would help a lot on a mid level system. I don't want to shell out 300+ for a RTX card, but alas. Medium settings seem to run quite well though.

Windbound reviews.. seem pretty mixed. Some liked it, the others hated it.

Review: Windbound – PS4

I was fortunate enough to get my hands on Windbound way before release to do a preview piece, and so I went into the game with a little more knowledge and comfort than I'm normally afforded with reviews. Before

pureplaystation.com

Windbound is going to amaze players with its blend of survival and adventure

It’s not often that a game offers the perfect blend of beauty and chaos, but Windbound is here to prove otherwise

Windbound Is More Frustrating Than I'd Like

Windbound is the kind of game that sounds a delight on paper, but in practice leaves you far more frustrated than it should. Here's our review.

Had a real gaming night yesterday!

First some Remnant: From the Ashes. Made my way to the Root Mother and saved her. Still really liking this game.

Then, on to the main event: Control on Steam!
Really liking the vibes in this one! And the photo mode is great! Will definitely be capturing a lot of screenshots when playing!

Oh god, the 3D models are worse than those in Shin Sakura Wars. Please don't be a smartphone game.

Sega to announce Project “B.L.A.C.K.” on September 2, possibly Sakura Wars-related

Sega has launched a teaser website and Twitter account for Project “B.L.A.C.K.,” a mysterious new project that will be officially announced via a YouTube live stream on September 2 at 2…

Edit: Apple Store and Google Play giftcard giveaway. Well, case close. Sorry for going off-topic

no digital ... no PC ... they already confirmed

The worst part is, the PC crowd is the most likely audience that still remember the old games. I've read some console players calling Turrican a Metroid knock off.

Yeah, that's 100% a mobile game.

A bit disappointed, but I would take it. Song is composed by Tanaka as usually so I am not worrying its music.

Really looking forward to this.

Almost 1 month ago, The Cycle's package got its first update after 7 months, a simple tag addition and reorganization which meant that the game was getting updates or at the very least, the page.

28 days later, The Cycle page is restored and has a release date for Steam (currently EGS) that is Q4 2020

Breh
I didn't even play the first game yet XD
Ah that's cool, will get the DLC during a sale and likely start it.

So the jingoism of Call of Duty, and my dislike of the series hit a new level having just watched the trailer for the new game. They've always tried to paper over American interventions and imperialism as a bad thing to some degree with the plots since 4, but good god to use Ronald fucking Reagan, one of the US' worst presidents to make it seem moral and heroic to commit war crimes... Just disgusting.


Are there any other feeds or threads or youtube channels of just trailers i can watch? I need to bleach that shit from my mind before it bothers me more than writing this post. Anyone have any suggestions?

Speaking of Reagan

Did I wooosh the joke or did you mix up your links ? RTX off is on, isn't it ?

 

[Tomasety]

Please no.. I always buy USD gift cards because they gift me more wallet after conversion.

Besides scammers, people used them to fund wallet balance on VPN accounts from cheaper regions like ARG.
It's another loophole Valve cuts off again because abusers.

Just mixed them up. Should be fixed now, thx for the heads up.

Not a confirmation, not a reputable source (obviously), but at least the original image filename looks legit. Something to think about I guess. Officially, Sega only has Humankind gameplay reveal scheduled, but there are a bunch of unannounced reveals in Gamescom's schedule, so...

There are a bunch of "Unannounced Game - Trailer Reveal " in the schedule, surely Gamescom knows what's actually shown then, right? Last year some German influencer/streamer's schedule had Yakuza 3 in it which led people to speculate that 3-5 remasters will be announced for the West, and that was exactly the case.

The reflections are the in-your-face thing, but I find the improvements in lighting at least as exciting.

Absolutely.
The illumination in the room to the right is different, the door to the left is getting light from a "new" source, Jesse's jacket is reflecting light, the railing in front of the scene is more accurate, even the portrait in the room to the right is reflecting room detials. There is so much more going on, it would take a good paragraph to note everything down.

In short the ray traced scene feels like there is a source of light behind the camera.

Wasn’t the PS4 version of 3-5 also announced at Gamescon?

And the second, third, fourth, ...


Last night I started Tell Me Why, I think I'm almost at the end of the first Episode, given the collectibles listed in the menu.
Yep, it's a Dontnod game. Very pleasing graphically, good music, powers and tragedy

So far I'm intrigued by the mistery. The twins are relatable, but, compared to the first Life is Strange, there's been few interactions so far with other characters. It reminded me more of Life is Strange 2, with the focus on the relationship between the 2 brothers.

I'm expecting something terrible to happen soon, it's been too chill so far...

 

[Dekunator]

After finding out the joys of Yakuza 0 last night, I really hope the ports are coming!

Yep, last year, by RGG themselves.

According to the tweet picture it comes from "New Breukelen" estimation based on public company reports. I think the revenue is just about the tax cut nothing else involved there.
