| JEMC said: I agree with you on the RDR 2 part. I don't post the articles about it because as far as we know it's console exclusive, and I'm not sure it will come to PC. After all, the first one didn't. PC benchmarks is something that fewer and fewer sites do, but it's easy to understand why. You need a lot of hardware, both CPUs and GPUs and it's very time consuming. I think I still have the CDs of the first two games, from their original PC launch. Great games that I have both on Steam and GOG. I wouldn't mind a bit of showcase, either a new engine tech demo or that ray-tracing demos that we've seen. But I'm affraid that it will depend on who is the sponsor of the show.
It would be the perfect place for MSoft to show the first gameplay of Age of Empires IV, and even Ubisoft could show Anno 1800. |
The thing is, we still see sites like DSOG that do performance benchmarks. We see people across all of youtube, mere users that run benchmarks. Duderandom makes his own benchmarks almost daily. So when a site like PCG, that can somehow scrap together an e3 event 3 years in a row, can somehow not manage to run a few benchmarks a week compared to one guy that can do them almost daily, then I start to see a bullshit issue.
If AMD or Intel are the sponsors, then I don't really see any Nvidia tech being shown off, unless it's the new Metro. But even then, we've already seen that tech in action from their specific RT trailer, so I don't really see a need to drone on about what we'd already seen in a tech trailer, for say 20-30 mins.
Pretty sure that new Anno is going to consoles, but we'll see.
Mankind, in its arrogance and self-delusion, must believe they are the mirrors to God in both their image and their power. If something shatters that mirror, then it must be totally destroyed.
