    Wait, what's the joke here?

    All that about the subscription approach is true and all. I suppose I just don't see anything compelling to play within that subscription. A lot of the indie and "AA" games I already have on Steam. The only EA game I've played in the last... 5? 10? years is Titanfall 2, IIRC, rendering their addition to the Pass moot, and it won't be any more compelling if other big names like Square or Ubisoft also get on board, because what's true about EA is true about them, too. Even Capcom, the one big AAA dev/publisher that I've consistently bought from the past five or so years, I have basically their whole collection on Steam already, so... That all said, my coworker has been really hype about the S, and Game Pass, and especially the streaming service component, which honestly seems like the most interesting part of the whole package.

    Almost assuredly so. Or, well, decently probable that that's the case. That said, DeS and DS are owned by different companies, so DS coming to PC isn't necessarily an accurate barometer to measure the probability of DeS doing the same. Now, if I start hearing word of other Sony-affiliated IPs (like God of War, Spider-Man, Killzone???, Ghost of Tsushima, etc.) coming to PC, THAT'S when I'll start seriously entertaining the idea of DeS coming over. One can hope. I dunno, I think Sony's definitely got the better lineup... which is to say, they actually have a lineup. (That it's a compelling lineup is just icing on the cake.) I'm fairly certain that all of Microsoft's announced games can also be found on PC, which negates the point entirely of their dedicated gaming console. I think only Halo Infinite is Xbox-exclusive, and Halo Infinite is hardly going to be a system seller, unless I'm horribly misreading the room on it.

    Sony have clarified that it is not coming to PC and that the message at the end of the trailer suggesting so was an error.

    Oof. I completely forgot to check back on this thread, didn't see the responses to my own question. Thanks for the answers, everyone. Shame about the sparse reissues, but it's understandable. Thanks @F360 for the link, I might just jump on that.

    Did Bandai release new promo pics of the upcoming MG Wing Zero Ver Ka? USA Gundam Store updated their listing with pics, which don't seem to be reflected by other retailers. Anyway, new pics: https://www.usagundamstore.com/products/mg-1-100-wing-gundam-zero-ew-ver-ka

    Oh it also involves dedicated hardware? Well, never mind, then, there goes all of my interest in that. I thought it was a software thing, but that would explain why it's missing from 10-series cards.

    Was anyone else underwhelmed by the Nvidia 3000-series launch? They were hyping it through the roof as this huge game changer, and I dunno, it seemed like just your standard generational improvement. Maybe it seems more impressive simply because... Turing? Ampere? Whatever 2000-series was called... was such a disappointment. In retrospect, you can really see how much of a transitional generation those cards are. RTX continuously fails to impress, both in terms of the games using it and the implementation itself. I'm continuously put off by the proprietary nature of it, and the continued massive hit to performance that it entails. DLSS continues to be the most impressive technology Nvidia are working on. It's legitimately a great thing to have, and it's frustrating that their marketing doesn't focus on it more, instead using it simply to pad their ray-tracing and 4K performance numbers. Regardless, I'm hoping AMD's event next month won't be as full of "pie in the sky" half-truths and cherry-picked numbers. At the very least, I hope the technology they're working on is more interesting. I forget where I saw it, maybe the Mark Cerny PS5 deep dive, but IIRC their raytracing solution seemed... ultimately less performant, but also more elegant than Nvidia's dedicated hardware solution, and more open to continued development. I believe it involves some/all GPU stream processors "switching mode" from traditional rasterization to ray calculations? I dunno. Either way, I hope this generation will be good competition.

    Nice work as always, anubis. Out of everything, it's always your work on the tiny tiny figures that impresses the most. Took another look at the Mercurius/Vayeate page, and it looks like there's some sort of preorder campaign going on; can anyone confirm? Seems to me Bandai are reissuing a whole raft of Leo/Maganac kits. If you order the Sandrock AND MnV AND one of the others, they'll throw in a "triple stand" action base. Dunno if this is limited only to P-Bandai Japan or if @BluefinBrands/PB USA will be getting in on this, too. Kits being reissued: - Leo Flight Type https://p-bandai.jp/item/item-1000149523/ - Leo Space Type https://p-bandai.jp/item/item-1000149524/ - Leo Full Weapon Set https://p-bandai.jp/item/item-1000149527/ - Maganac Rashid/Abdul https://p-bandai.jp/item/item-1000149525/ - Maganac Auda/Ahmad https://p-bandai.jp/item/item-1000149526/ - Maganac 36-Machine Set https://p-bandai.jp/item/item-1000149528/ Promo page: https://p-bandai.jp/hobby/special-1000012123/

    Is there a difference between the Sandrock and Kai other than the machine gun? Also, boo misleading promo picture, I was really hoping the kit would include a Leo as well. Boo!
  11. kajnrig
    Wait, does the figure not come with the front end of its own gun or something?

    If they are working on an AC8, I would love to get some expansion to the multiplayer. Deathmatch was fun while it lasted, but there was obvious room for expansion. A bunch of elements from AC Infinity are just begging to be ported over.

    I forget if electric indigo was the one who introduced me to that store or not, but I've ordered from there several times and had zero problems. Shipping can get somewhat expensive, IIRC they charge individual shipping costs per item, but it's never been a deal breaker. I don't think I've ever dabbled in Model Legend's stuff, though, so can't speak to that at all.

    I haven't had time to pore over the slides, but Gamers Nexus pointed out that they were doing some tricky things with the numbers, to the point that at least one comparison had a 1080Ti with RT on versus a 3000-series with RT and DLSS on. Obviously, the 1080Ti's lack of RT hardware or support for DLSS would put it at a major disadvantage against a 30xx with RT hardware and support for DLSS. It's harder to suss out what the raw, RT-agnostic generational improvement is, though I'm sure it's decently significant even in that regard.

    Yep, bought the game on PC over the weekend because of this news. Been having a blast bringing my PC save up to par with PS4. Cheat Engine and easy-peasy mods make it that much more fun, too. Someone on Nexus Mods released a mod for the TLS that changes its behavior to more closely mimic its portrayal in AC5 and AC0, rendering the Falken et al completely broken in campaign mode. There's even a mod by the same user to make all unlocked parts, including multiplayer-only ones, usable in campaign. No more Level 1 parts only. Whoever that modder is, I'd love to learn how they bypassed the encryption on the game files to edit them. Imagine modding the ADFX-01 Morgan's burst missile to finally have the range and power that it should have. Imagine then opening up Cheat Engine and giving yourself infinite ammo and zero reload time...

    It's a moderator general policy. All RIP threads have lock dates because... well, I'm sure the mods can explain their reasoning better, but I imagine it's to reduce clutter on the front pages. RIP threads don't generally attract too much discussion beyond condolences and such for the first few days after the person's passing. That said... I reiterate my previous comment: Sigh.

    Wrote this on FB: Anyway, here's hoping this movie is still in theaters this time next year. Or does a second run, I dunno. Nolan's movies have their issues, but they do justify the theater experience.
  18. kajnrig
    Sigh.

    Not Gundam-related: Moderoid ED-209 preorder: https://www.hlj.com/moderoid-ed-209-robocop-gsc13109

    Meanwhile, I picked up an RX 580 for $100 and put that in the nephew's new computer. That thing is a frickin' truck.

    I already wasn't a COD fan, but there was also this bit of news that reminded me, "Oh yeah, this is Activision we're talking about." https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2020-08-25-activision-removes-tiananmen-square-footage-in-call-of-duty-black-ops-cold-war-trailer-after-china-ban

    Do RDs get rereleased ever? The GP01 and GP02A were both extremely popular (or at least their lack of availability would suggest as much), and while I managed to snag me a GP01 for a good price after release, the GP02A is proving to be more problematic.
  23. kajnrig
    That's not really a third-party figure, it's an official figure from IIRC a niche Kickstarter game that made it big over there.

    Was this thread where y'all discussed this Gurren Lagann figure? Well, regardless, there's a reissue of it up for preorder at HLJ: https://www.hlj.com/ccstoys-tengen-toppa-gurren-lagann-gurren-lagann-alloy-action-figure-reissue-ccs07000-2 Also, I forget if this was in the Gunpla thread, here, or if there was a Moderoid or otherwise dedicated thread, but Sentinel have a Lazengann model kit upcoming. I figure it's relevant because their model kit of the Gurren Lagann was IIRC based on their Riobot figure. https://www.hlj.com/plaiobot-tengen-toppa-gurren-lagann-lazengann-set88349

    Wouldn't you just... follow the ScorchedEarth video in reverse?
