Valve has announced its latest addition to Steam today that will allow players to purchase unfinished games and play them while they're still being developed.

So more Bethesda games?

Have you seen the Roster lately?! My God, this is getting ridiculous!!  

Yep. They're at 22 now and I'm going to guess there will be at least 2 more. Robin and then some other random B-lister. Good size for a fighting game, though not bloated. It's right around what Mortal Kombat had and that'll be the game that I judge this against.

Wow. I like this new game-loving Raven!

Me too!

It's the exact same thing for me.  I started Sleeping Dogs, played for about an hour, then started another campaign in Tomb Raider.  Have ever experienced a game and then wished you could forget everything that you knew about it, so you can start it again, like new?  Tomb Raider is one of those games for me.

Most definitely.

Red Dead Redemption and Deadly Premonnition come to mind... Guys, you have convinced me to get this sooner than later.

Woo!  

Goddammit! Looks like I'm gonna hafta buy a mutha fuckin' PS Move tomorrow. I unlocked the Director's Cut mode in HotD: Overkill, and the game is at least twice as mutha fuckin' fast, with twice as many mutha fuckin' zombies mutants on screen at the same mutha fuckin' time. My balls-less Dual Shock 3 controller just can't keep up with the mutha fuckas!

You can find them cheap at GS used sometimes. Really you should only play that game with move. That said move isnt as good as the wiimote was in the wii version.

Move isn't as good as the mutha fuckin' Wii-mote? What kind of shit is that? I'll rip the balls off the mutha fucka that screwed up the Move version!

What if the random people using their smartphones around you were co-members of thevgpress?

I think we know each other well enough to figure it out. I wonder about that with neogaf sometimes though.

Dvader, you tell Bruce Campbell that Edge has an Ash action figure up on his shelf.

Groovy.

Ira's performance is incredibly exciting. But what does this mean for PC, PlayStation 4 and next Xbox gaming - the obvious implication of all this?



Huang said rendering Ira took around 2 teraflops (2 trillion floating-point operations per second). Nvidia's Titan can handle 4.5 teraflops, but PS4 can only handle 1.84 teraflops and the next Xbox 1.2 teraflops.



As it stands, it's out of reach - but that's running at 60 frames per second in 1080p. At 30 frames per second, the calculations required are halved. With a bit of efficiency-tinkering, it's possible.



Mind you, that's only rendering a face.
