Aspro this thread is for you, I think, if I recall correctly.

The only problem is nobody is going to create a game that looks like that because they design them around what the consoles can duplicate to at least some degree. If Crytek was still pushing PC graphics I'd say they would, but they're obviously on the console train just like every other developer at this point, which means no Crysis 2007 level game that is designed to push PC's to the limits.

Thank fuck for that.

GAF seems to think that PS4, Nextbox graphics will be less than half as good given the specs required.

I seriously doubt either one will be much beyond Wii U. Sony is too hurting money-wise, and MS is too busy copying everything Nintendo does.

Why? You don't wanna see a game come out that consoles can't duplicate anytime soon?

The news story about the reasons why the Half-Life 2 art director left Valve is really good.  I love people like that.  So kind spirited and speaking with nothing but admiration for his former employer and team while at the same time having the balls to leave such a prestigious post to pursue his own vision and new challenges.  Wonderfully positive guy.  And his art is amazing and still the reason why I'm still trying to play through HL2

That's easy to do when you have an employer that's worthy of admiration.

That demo runs at 5-8 FPS on my rig. As amazing as it looks... I'll stick with The Witcher 2, Battlefield 3, Crysis 2 (And 3) and even Max Payne 3 for graphically advanced games that people can ACTUALLY play.

It's a hideous fairy with horrible colours. Kill it with fire. The close up makes it look even worse. Jesus.

The hair on the neck is a nice touch, though. But they forgot about it on her face.

I also saw this which I had no clue existed, or I ignored:

Interesting Nintendo sales figures:

- 1.86 million units of 3DS sold - Quarter 1?

- 3DS split was Japan - 920,000, The Americas - 420,000, Other - 530,000

So a small country like Japan has sold over twice the number of 3DS units than North America or more than North America and the rest of the world combined


- "As of July 25, 2012, [Nintendo is] no longer selling Nintendo 3DS hardware below manufacturing costs."

About time. Let's see if they can return to profitablity.


– Nintendo DS: 152.05 million units of hardware, 908.79 mm pieces of software.

– Nintendo Wii: 96.56 million units of hardware, 826.93 mm pieces of software.

Wii might make it to 100 million? I'm impressed.

– Nintendo 3DS: 19.00 million units of hardware, 52.81 mm pieces of software.

- expecting to sell 10.5 million Wii and Wii U consoles by year's end - FY 2013 forecast below

This sucks.  I'm so bored.  There's a heatwave in London which means I've been unable to leave the flat for the last couple of days (basically since I got back from Scotland).  Don't really have the money to go on any more trips.  Shouldn't have turned down the chance to have gone sailing again.  The freaking Olympics is starting on Friday so I won't be able to go out the door basically ... and I'm stuck here for another ten days with nothing to play.  I'm missing my consoles so much.  I also made the stupid decision of bringing the DS with me instead of the 3DS thinking I have so many more DS games than 3DS games it's bound to be more use.  Like fuck, I have no DS games I want to play, and there's no chance of finding anything useful at the shops.  At least if I had 3DS I could have played more Pushmo or Mario Tennis ... or something I'm still not bored of.

Oh well ... I have my university textbooks on Quantum Electrodynamics and Representation Theory I could always try reading Sad
