Wow so all those posts and only you two guys?

Will be taggin' this one. And thanks for the Westwood article.


Yea... There are not a lot of PC gamers on the site. And only a small subset of them are interested in a thread like this, and then even fewer bother actually posting regularly.

I do bother, and Pemalite also did until he left .

Most only come to read the news and leave... or are Ubi employees that vote on the poll and leave.

^Looks good... and recorded some time ago. Too overdressed to be the Polish summer.

And can I also say, another thing completely different, that after watching the gameplay of "Quantum Break" my first thoughts were for "Alan Wake 2" and how cool it would look with that engine?

Some new info regarding Nvidia's plans for its Tesla cards that could give us some hints of the consumer parts:

Research paper reveals future Nvidia GPUs

— 6:00 AM on August 12, 2014

An obscure research paper detailing the use of GPU computing for radio telescopes has revealed the existence of three upcoming Nvidia GPUs. 3D Center spotted the paper (PDF), which was authored by researchers from the Institute of Space Science and Astronomy in Malta, the International Centre for Radio Stronomy Research in Australia, the University of Oxford in the UK, and Nvidia's operations in Los Angeles.

Much of the contents are way over my head, and the discussion is largely centered on how the Tesla K40 compares to the GeForce GTX 750 Ti. However, the penultimate page contains the following table:

GPU architecture FLOPS/Watt Timeline
GK110 12 Current
GK210 14 Summer 2014
GM200 25 End of 2014
GP100 35 Beginning of 2016

GK210 presumably refers to a new "Big Kepler" variant. That chip is imminent, according to the timeline, but it could be restricted to Tesla-class GPU compute products. A Maxwell-based GM200 GPU is apparently coming before the end of the year, while a Pascal-based GP100 is slated for early 2016.

Those last two will deliver big gains in performance per watt, according to the paper, but that's only for a specific use case. The numbers are also "predictions" rather than hard data. The fact that an Nvidia staffer is named as a contributor gives the figures more credibility than typical GPU rumors, but I'd still recommend a dash of salt.

 

So, a reveal mid next month for a release in November/December?

Space Hulk rises above criticism with RPG-infused Ascension edition

Comments1

Travel is dangerous in the warp - and somewhere between the board and the PC, Full Control’s Space Hulk was lost in translation. It was a good adaptation, but a worse game - and nothing in its subsequent DLC releases changed that.

Ascension isn’t a sequel, but it is a major enough rework to warrant the sending of another search party. Full Control have introduced Terminator-naming and an XP system to their claustrophobic corridors.

Activision's indie-friendly Sierra label will publish new King's Quest and Geometry Wars 3

Comments3

Ohh. Activision dredged up the good name of Sierra a few days ago, and nobody was clear on why. As it turns out, Sierra is going to be the mega-publisher’s esoteric indie label, distinguished by an arm’s length from the Activision name shareholders don’t want to see attached to anything that isn’t CoD, Skylanders or WoW.

First to rise from the crypt of the necro-publisher is a new entry in Sierra’s best-known adventure game series, King’s Quest. And a second sequel to a game that was never part of the Sierra stable: Geometry Wars.

This Assassin's Creed Unity GamesCom trailer is bloodless and beautiful

Comment

Did you know? Assassin’s Creed Unity protagonist Arno is named after the noise you make when you trigger the wrong contextual action and send your robed killer hurtling off a church spire and into a courtyard full of imperialists.

There’s none of that going on in Ubisoft’s GamesCom demo. Instead, a series of vignettes revealing the texture of Parisian life that we’ll be pushing, shoving and shanking our way through.

Atari announces RollerCoaster Tycoon World; it's micro-transaction free

Comments2

RollerCoaster Tycoon 4 was a cynical thing, laden with microtransactions and Facebook tomfoolery. It was the kind of mobile game that makes people go “ewww, mobile games”, but Atari promised that the PC version would be different. 

The publisher revealed this new version at Gamescom today, and yep, it’s different. Different name, different developer and no microtransactions. RollerCoaster Tycoon World is due out early next year.

The killing fields of Far Cry 4: from civil wars in forests to magical tigers in spirit realms

Comment

Far Cry 3’s islands were lovely, but most of the world was tropical forests and pristine beaches. In Far Cry 4, there are three distinct areas with their own challenges beyond chaps with guns. 

Ubisoft’s been showing off the diverse locations at Gamescom, but you can get a glimpse of the killing grounds without going to Cologne.

A new game announcement from Volition will kick off PAX Prime

Comment

Kicking off PAX Prime this year - the schedule was recently released - will be a quiz hour with Saints Row and Red Faction developer Volition. If you like quizzes, then that’s grand, but the end of the panel might be of greater interest. 

Volition will be showing off footage, art and some details for their newest project, whatever that might be.

Grand Ages: Medieval gives you a crown to wear and an empire to carve out

Comment

I’d probably be a bloody great king. If you ever see me say otherwise - I have - then know that I’m merely being humble, which is another reason I’d be an excellent replacement for any royal ruler.

I can tell serfs where to go and chop down trees no matter how drunk I am, and I’ve been known to erect walls within minutes of thinking “I should erect some walls”. And there’s nobody that sorts out supply chains like me. You might not think that last part - or indeed any of those things - are particularly kingly, but you’d be wrong. 

I don’t know how many of those things will be in Grand Ages: Medieval, the sort of sequel to Grand Ages: Rome, but I’m guessing that at least one of them will feature. So I’m confident I’ll have no problem taking on the mantle of king in Kalypso’s real-time medieval city-builder. Take a gander at the announcement trailer below. There’s a regal beard in it, so that’s nice.

More changes are coming to Steam, including ominous groups of curators

Comments1

Steam sleuths SteamDB spotted an update Valve pushed through the Steam Translation Server today, and it confirms some of the big changes coming to the store. 

They are meaty additions, like personalised front pages, a better search tool, changes to tabs and the introduction of curators, which seems to ape features from social networks.

Twitter News: A Bird Story Trailer & Release Date

By John Walker on August 12th, 2014 at 3:00 pm.

There’s no game I’ve written about on RPS that has been mentioned to me more often than To The Moon. I still get emails, tweets and even people coming up to me three years on, thanking me for bringing it to their attention. I always reply, “Did it make you cry?” And they always reply, “Yes.” And usually, “Three times.” It’s an astonishingly special and lovely little adventure game, available here.

Developer Kan Gao has been working on the follow-up, although not a sequel, A Bird’s Story for a couple of years now. And there is finally a proper trailer for it, and a release date. Ho boy. Grab the hankies.
