There is no good value card anymore. Miners have destroyed the market.

It has trully been an awful gen of cards. And not because of their performance, as both sides launched great cards, but because of the stupid retail prices we've suffered. And the wort part is that there's no sign that this will change.

I feel like this gen will be remembered, but I'm not sure how. Will it be the gen that started a new decline in PC gaming because the parts became unaffordable to the majority of the market, or will it go down as the last crypto-mining gen before manufacturers put an end to that? Well, we'll get our answer in the next 12 months (but I'm not optimistic).

SCOOP: Sony is planning a new subscription service, code-named Spartacus, to take on Xbox Game Pass. It's being pitched as a three-tier service that will merge PlayStation Now with PlayStation Plus. Highest tier could include PS1/PS2/PSP games

So as i been saying and even in that news thread on the front page with the Sony Phone controller (That i got lots of downvotes for). I know Sony is going to follow MS and anyone who thinks otherwise is really a Sony fan thats in denial at this stage.

Probably but I do think they will put their spin on it in some form. Whether it will be better or worse than gamepass remains to be seen.

Instead of seeking to convince others, we can be open to changing our own minds, and seek out information that contradicts our own steadfast point of view. 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.

The Steam page for Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection has appeared.

Edit:

The livestream for the announcement of the Another Eden x Square Enix crossover took place today. As the datamines revealed, it is with Chrono Cross, leading credence to the rumors that a remaster/remake is in the works. Website for the crossover here.

The link between the two games is that Masato Kato, scenario director and script writer for Another Eden, also was the director for Chrono Cross.

Here is the cinematic trailer

Here is another trailer

IGN has an article with some more details.

Following reports that beloved PlayStation RPG Chrono Cross might have a remaster in the works, another unrelated piece of official news is helping fuel the Chrono nostalgia even more.

The crossover will last until 9 Dec 2026.

So I ordered a 4k 144hz monitor from Asus. It's the PG32UQ.

https://rog.asus.com/monitors/32-to-34-inches/rog-swift-pg32uq-model/

The main reason I ordered one was cause my current monitor seems to be having issues turning on at times and the fan is making some noises at random times. It does go away but it is certainly showing signs of wanting to commit seppuku. So instead of waiting for the fap worthy mini-LED/OLED monitors that will be coming out next year, I jumped the gun. I will still probably be buying a mini-LED or OLED monitors that will be coming out sometime next year though as a secondary monitor.

Now the reason why I went with this monitor over others is that while the IPS response times is a tad slower than some of the faster 4k 144hz monitors on the market, the difference isn't that big. However the color coverage is significantly better with the pg32uq. On top of that, it has full bandwidth HDMI 2.1 for the consoles. So overall I am pretty excited!

It's an excellent monitor, Yuri. Congratulations for your purchase.

Remember to calibrate it, tho, to get the best results (TFTCentral reviewed it, you can try using their values to do it.

Yea I may get a colour recalibrator as every monitor comes out with different calibration variances so I can't really use theirs.

Yup, despite all the panels being made the same way, they all have their own little differences. Still, their values can be a good starting point.

But if you have the tools to calibrate it for yourself, then that's great.

Grats Yuri. Solid pick up right there. 155hz at 4K sounds pretty darn nice to have!

If you want a decent calibrator I recommend the X-Rite i1 Display Series. I've used the Pro model on a couple of monitors and it works really well. Think there's a Pro Plus and Studio out now. It is quite pricey though, so might be worth looking out to see if you can rent a loaner unit from a camera shop/online or something.
