Emulators are usually limited to 2 cores (with some extra tasks on 3rd, if enabled) - this means AMD CPUs, that have a lot worse IPC than Intels, don't perform nearly as good, despite number of cores they usually pack (6-8).

Sweet - Germany has been really keeping the flame of classic P&C adventures alive for so long now (though I would argue about Deponia as best, even from Germany) against this trend in modern "adventure" games that have good stories, but little to no gameplay in them.

Hoping to see Ashes team do some Vulkan runs at some point. Also I'm kinda slightly excited to see the new GPU's but at the same time I'm starting at my 980 thinking that it's going to be the same as last time where I expected more power and got little in return.

I'll grab it if they sort if within this year, or at least half of it. If they don't do a good enough job with fixing it then I'll likey just not support NIS in the future. A good first impression is quite important.

The news! And given that it's Friday, there's only one thing I can say:

Part 2:

NECROPOLIS DELAYED UNTIL SUMMER

http://www.pcgamer.com/necropolis-delayed-until-summer/

Necropolis, Harebrained Schemes' beautiful, procedurally generated Souls-alike, has been pushed all the way back from next month to summer. Studio head Mitch Gitelman himself took to the Steam community forums to announce the delay as a result of the devs' decision to launch simultaneously on PC and consoles.

BATTALION 1944 KICKSTARTER ADDS STRETCH GOALS, INCLUDING A SINGLE-PLAYER CAMPAIGN

http://www.pcgamer.com/battalion-1944-kickstarter-adds-stretch-goals-including-a-single-player-campaign/

It was three weeks ago that the Kickstarter for the World War Two multiplayer shooter Battalion 1944 blew past its initial £100,000/$145,000 goal, yet it's only today that developer Bulkhead Interactive got around to announcing stretch goals. The good news is that a single-player campaign is among them. The bad news is, it ain't gonna happen.

THE DIVISION: NEW YORK COLLAPSE TEASES A MYSTERY WRAPPED IN A SURVIVAL GUIDE

http://www.pcgamer.com/the-division-new-york-collapse-teases-a-mystery-wrapped-in-a-survival-guide/

The March 8 launch of The Division will be accompanied by the simultaneous release of The Division: New York Collapse, a “meta-novel” survival guide written (in the game's fiction) before the fall of New York City. But it's not just a survival guide. The real juice lies in the “handwritten notes” added to the book by its previous owner, who was apparently in hot pursuit of the forces behind the collapse before she fell victim to misfortune. Now the book, and the mystery, have ended up in your hands.

GEARBOX REVEALS THREE NEW BATTLEBORN HEROES

http://www.pcgamer.com/gearbox-reveals-three-new-battleborn-heroes/

Gearbox has unveiled three new Heroes who will join the fray in its upcoming "hero shooter" Battleborn: an “offbeat and imperfect facsimile of a soldier” named Whiskey Foxtrot, a massive ice golem called Kelvin, and Shayne & Aurox, an angsty teenage girl who's somehow become bonded with a mean-looking alien.

PROCEDURALLY GENERATED RACER KRAUTSCAPE HAS EXITED EARLY ACCESS

http://www.pcgamer.com/procedurally-generated-racer-krautscape-has-exited-early-access/

Stylish procedurally generated racer Krautscape has exited Early Access after two years in development. Phil wrote about the game back in 2013, describing it as a "visually fetching indie racer with weird folded wing-like cars". That's as good a sales pitch as any, but the real drawcard is the game's tracks, which generate as you race on them. That sounds like it'd be a hassle, but if you check out the gameplay trailer below, the freshly generated twists and turns are heavily telegraphed.

TRUCK SIMULATORS TO GET STEAM WORKSHOP SUPPORT

http://www.pcgamer.com/truck-simulators-to-get-steam-workshop-support/

On a Venn diagram, the modding and trucking communities are pretty much one circle. What Truck Simulator player doesn't want to customise their rig or convoy with thousands of other drivers online? Yes, modding is alive and well in SCS' sims, but the devs are set on making things easier still by implementing Steam Workshop support.

>>Just what this game needed, more ways for people to share their mods/creations. Because , who doesn't want a Hello Kitty themed Scania?

YOU CAN PLAY BLACK OPS 3 MULTIPLAYER FOR FREE THIS WEEKEND

http://www.pcgamer.com/you-can-play-black-ops-3-multiplayer-for-free-this-weekend/

If you're lacking something to shoot this weekend, here's a decent option: the multiplayer component of Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 is free to play between now and Sunday afternoon (from 10AM PST on Thursday until 1PM PST on Sunday, to be precise). Publisher Activision is also offering 33% off the standard edition of the game and 20% off the deluxe edition.

Don't like how Necropolis devs decided to push that back, something smells fishy about such a decision. Hopefully it has absolutely nothing to do with Bamco.

^Wow, I didn't know there was such a site. People will never cease to amaze me.

And yeah, today the launch is closer than it was yesterday .

In preparation to Deponia Doomsday I'm playing the Deponia trilogy again... this time in the multilingual "Complete Journey" with all 3 parts connected and audio commentaries.
