    Witcher 3

    Don't bother with the first game and just read a synopsis of it or something. I pretty much jumped right into the second game, since I could not stand to play the first one past the prologue due to the absolute dogshit controls and had no problem getting into the story and world. The difference...

    Metal Gear Rising: REVENGEANCE

    http://www.gameinformer.com/b/news/a...ar-rising.aspx Platform exclusive content in multiplatform games is probably the single fucking stupidest piece of bullshit to come out this generation. It was dumb in Skyrim with the X360's extra content and it's dumb here with the PS3's extra content.

    Ni No Kuni (PS3)

    Should get two so you can swap between them if their Stamina runs low! Also so you can make one water and then one fire for the couple extra bosses that do big fire attacks.

    3D's not going away. It's a standard feature on all but the cheapest of 2013 models. It's here to stay, but it's taken a back seat to Smart TV feature sets as far as marketing goes and they'll probably not push it in our faces anymore.

    You mean they require 10 bit color aka Deep Color/30 bit output as a standard. Guess what, tons of good TVsalreadydo that. There's just not much video content made for it. Also, the PS3 has been able to output it since release day. The capability to output that is not anywhere near new. It's...

    And the next generation 5 years after the upcoming one is going to be even more powerful and mobile devices will take years again to catch up. There's not some magical ceiling on power and we are no where near a cap on graphical fidelity. Plus the issue of Storage alone makes mobile devices...

    Yeah, I know what it means. My eyes just totally glazed over since I automatically correlate TBA with Release Dates, not game being revealed dates.

    We need to auto-correct 4k to 2160p in posts imo.

    They pretty much did. They're trying to rebrand it as "Ultra HD", but it's not sticking very well.

    Well yeah, I was talking about Televisions, not PC Monitors. 4k, which is dumb as fuck and should just be called 2180p or whatever, is definitely great for Monitors.

    It's not dumb. It's fucking math and science that 4k is nonsense for regular sized TVs. You can also have a wider color gamut without going to 4k, that's purely in how you encode the video and has nothing to do with resolution. Audio has also dick all to do with video resolution.

    You would be highly biased. That graph is based off a normal human vision of 20/20. It's more or less accurate for your average person. 20/10 is what, twice as good as normal vision? Fucking Tuco and his Super Eyes.

    The Big Bad Console Thread - Sway your Station with an Xboner !

    4k is pure snake oil and irrelevant for your average sized TVs and regular viewing distances. Due to visual acuity and how our eyes work, etc, we just cannot perceive the extra resolution detail. Unless you have a massive projector screen it's pointless.

    The Last of Us

    Couldn't find a thread on this. Looks like it's shaping up to be a real survivor horror game (unlike Dead Space 3!). Here's a new 10 minute video on it:http://www.gametrailers.com/videos/z...the-apocalypse

    The Grand Tour (from the guys in Top Gear)

    Echoing everyone else, the Aston was just fucking *gorgeous*. The Viper was so terribly plain and drab in comparison. Honestly I don't think the Lexus was anywhere near as sexy as the Aston either, it looked "cool," but it just didn't have that purebeautythat the Aston did. Also the modified...

    New sound bar vs. old 5.1 surround in a box

    He didn't say heonlyhad 115 to spend on it and stretching from 115 to 250 is a feasible thing, I assumed he probably thought full systems were around 500+ or something.

    That'sexactlyhow Apple makes it's money. Selling people new console hardware that is only 300-400 bucks every 5 years is not hard, especially if Microsoft really pushes the cell phone contract style $99 + lease route.

    It's not just Ubisoft either. Pretty much every third party developer has said that this console generation has lasted way too long, it's a bad thing to have them last this long, and that they don't want it to happen again. Another big thing mentioned by them is that new console generations are...

    New sound bar vs. old 5.1 surround in a box

    New sound bar vs. old 5.1 surround in a box

    Surround Sound Speaker setups are not for everyone if people don't like dealing with wires and stuff, but Soundbars are not a replacement for Surround Sound. If all you want is a front sound stage they're a decent cheap and easy alternative. It's pointless for the guy to replace his current...

    New sound bar vs. old 5.1 surround in a box

    I had a like a $300 Sony Soundbar. It was pretty much junk compared to an actual surround sound system. I think anyone who tries to tell you that they are comparable is full of shit. Don't waste your money on one, stop being lazy and do a real surround setup and you'll be much happier.

    Dead Space 3

    Some choice quotes straight from the DS3 devs: "At our studio, we've always made console games. The biggest thing is we want to make sure the quality of the experience is consistent across all platforms so we don't have one userbase saying it's better on their system." "The fact that we're...

    Winter 2013 Anime Thread

    So there's a remake of Space Battleship Yamato 2199 that's apparently airing in theaters and being released on blu-ray. 10 eps of it are out so far. I just started watching it and it is absolutely gorgeous. I never saw the original series, but this is great so far.

    I've only played one to like level 10 on Tempest so far and they seem fun, decided to hold off until the new server opens up to do much more though and start a new character. Are they not a good class? I don't really plan to play it seriously, just max level and dick around probably.

    I would be surprised if this next generation was longer than 5 years, this past one has been an anomaly. You are also overestimating the power that mobile devices have. Plus, the storage and memory issues really can't be ignored. The next consoles are both using 50gb blu-ray drives as a...

    They won't be obsolete as long as there is a market for AAA games and until mobile devices are able to really handle those consoles aren't going anywhere. This is definitely not the last generation.

    Trick slots? No, it's not. Do note though that one of their slots comes from reaching a specific heart level. I think it's 3 for most of them, but some of them require 6 hearts.

    Tried this out finally since it's going F2P, seems pretty neat. I really like that it's got a full interface for X360 controllers, makes it way more enjoyable. I think I may wait for the brand new server to put much time into it though.
