If there's one game that needs a PC remaster by the mods, it's FFVIIR. Someone fix these textures please

Since my vacation is canceled, I'm going to Greece in Assassin's Creed: Odyssey.

€9.99 for the Standard Edition or €22.99 for the Gold Edition (including Season Pass + AC III Remastered) seems okay for me.

Both the Origins and Odyssey Discovery Tours are free to download from UPlay. You don't have to buy the game to travel to Greece .

There, I saved you some money .

Too late.

And on my vacations I like to go on a killing spree... the Discovery Tours don't provide that.

So there was an interview with Epic China regarding various things including the demo. Looks like as far as the demo is concerned, SSDs like the 970 Evo will do just fine if this is to be believed:

"UE5 tech demo on a RTX 2080 & 970 EVO Plus notebook is 1440p40

Epic China engineers’ interview, if you know Chinese you can confirm it by yourself.

https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1kK411W7fK

53:00, he said his notebook could run at 1440p 40fps+, optimization target is 60fps for next-gen.

2:08:00, SSD bandwidth (for the flying part) isn’t as that high as ppl said, not need a stricted spec SSD (decent SSD is ok).

Someone at TGFCer forum said, the engineer just confirmed to him: RTX 2080 GPU notebook but forgot the exact SSD model, maybe 970 EVO Plus. (http://club.tgfcer.com/thread-8307013-7-1.html 94th post)"

To be honest... I thought the part where the woman shimmied through the crack in the cave was to hide a loading screen. It's a common tactic in games so as "not to break immersion". - Obviously don't have the evidence for that, but thought I would throw it out there.

I just realized something today regarding ""SSD optimized" games on PC. Console people were trying to shame PC because it doesn't have those and the new consoles will. The thing is that's kind of the consoles' fault to begin with. One reason why new consoles are so close to the PC space is that PCs are held back the whole time, which enables consoles to catch up easily and even bring new features that weren't previously possible on multiplatform games, because they had to work with terrible consoles. Gonna use that as a talking point next time someone wants to claim console superiority.

Not sure about the adoption rate of SSDs in PCs but I have to assume that the majority already have them and no new gaming PC will be built without one.

Pretty sure the majority of PC's these days have an SSD for at-least the OS drive.

I haven't used a PC in years that didn't have an SSD, except at the fire station which is using a 30 year old Windows 3.11 PC. (Wish I was kidding.)

We mostly use it to sign in/out of the station, it's an industrial rig, but holy shit I wish it would die.

Even netbooks have an SSD (Granted eMMC) and they are the lowest of the lowest PC trash.

Yeah, it is funny how proud they are in advance, since no one of them has these fast loading times yet on console. And for years they ignored or talked down the much shorter loading times of the PC versions of multiplatform games.

Even HDD speeds on PC can now be multiple times of the standard HDDs of the PS4/Pro and Xbox One/X and come closer to the SATA III and USB 3.0 limitations. Some HDDs on PC can even provide shorter loading times than SSDs in the current consoles, since CPU and RAM limitations cripple the performance.

My new external HDD (My Book Duo) reaches 400 MB/s in sequential read (f.e. loading huge levels/files) and comes close to my SATA-limitated SSDs:

Don't wonder about the results of the upper left SSD-test (4.6 - 6.5 GBytes/s) , the drive is still SATA-limited and not that fast. The good results are probably because of Samsung's "Rapid mode" (DRAM caching). With bigger test files (8 GiB or 32 GiB instead of 1 GiB) the results get more in line.

The MyBook relies on RAID to essentially double it's bandwidth, but 200MB/s is still damn good for a spinning rust drive... And is still the absolute best option for cold storage/archival use.

I did read some benchmarks ages ago where the Seagate drive in the original Xbox One was around the 40-50MB/s mark, which is truly woeful, that single platter, 5400rpm drive with a tiny cache didn't do the console any favors.

Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.

I think they officially said that "it's not a loading screen" but who knows. I doubt stuff like that will go away though even if they don't have anything to load. It's easy padding.

It's one thing to not offer 3000 series upgrades but people can't even upgrade from 2060/2070/2080 to a 2070/2080 Super? Come on Dell...

Seems that a lot of the texture problems for FFVIIR might be due to Ps4 showing it's age and some shitty SE optimization. The port for PC and next gen consoles gonna look god tier.



Also I always kinda want to get one of these handheld PCs:

But I just might end up getting a Surface instead since that has more functionality. Still for how small they are, they do pack a punch. All these things now need is some Ryzen sauce!
