FABLE LEGENDS ATE UP $75 MILLION BEFORE IT WAS SHUT DOWN

http://www.pcgamer.com/fable-legends-ate-up-75-million-before-it-was-shut-down/

There's a great anecdote in Eurogamer's in-depth report on the creation, evolution and demise of Lionhead, told by Fable Art Director John McCormack, that really nails the essence of Peter Molyneux. “We had a meeting," McCormack said. "We'd not seen [Molyneux] in weeks because he had other things on. He opened the door, walked in and goes, the hero has a dog, and it dies. And then he left and we didn't see him again for another month. We were like, what the fuck? That was it. That was the direction.”

>>Ouch!

SEE AN INCREDIBLY COMPLICATED PUNCH IN THE NEW KNUCKLE SANDWICH TRAILER

http://www.pcgamer.com/see-an-incredibly-complicated-punch-in-the-new-knuckle-sandwich-trailer/

Ever since I first got my hands on it, I’ve been comparing the upcoming RPG Knuckle Sandwich to Earthbound, mostly due to the similarity of its aesthetics and, er, strangeness. That connection was backed up by a trailer in January, but this new one—which gives an in-depth look at Knuckle Sandwich’s battle system—reinforces the idea that this isn't going to be your standard RPG.

THE WITCHER 3: BLOOD AND WINE DEV DIARY TEASES GERALT'S GREATEST CHALLENGE YET

http://www.pcgamer.com/the-witcher-3-blood-and-wine-dev-diary-teases-geralts-greatest-challenge-yet/

We recently got some hands-on time with The Witcher 3 expansion Blood and Wine, and it looks like it's going to be a worthy conclusion to the series: Geralt arrives in the fairy tale realm of Toussaint, but instead of the expected wine, women, and song, it's monsters, monsters... and monsters. The new developer diary released today reveals even more about what's ahead, and even though this is Geralt's swang song, he won't have an easy time of it.

UBISOFT HOPES TO RELEASE FIVE NEW GAMES BEFORE APRIL NEXT YEAR

After a strong start to the year, you'd be forgiven for thinking Ubisoft is taking the rest of 2016 off. Though several projects are in development, no games have been confirmed to release this year – nor is there going to be a major new Assassin's Creed title.

>>Not a big surprise.

And that's it. Have a fun & gaming weekend!

He's a genius, but at the same time an overestimated a*hole. Funny to watch, but surely not for those that have to pay his bill. 

Thanks and good gaming & w/e to you too.

Reading the long, long article at Eurogamer's (have I said it's long?), shows that Lionhead was a great place to do what you want, but a terrible place to work on.

And Molyneux has a lot to blame for that.

AMD to give an ‘Inside look at Polaris’ on May 18th

http://videocardz.com/59923/amd-to-give-inside-look-at-polaris-on-may-18th

AMD is hosting Meet The Experts webinar with David Nalasco on May 18th. During this webinar AMD is said to give ‘an inside look at Polaris’. David Nalasco is Sr. Technology Manager at Radeon Technology Group.

This webinar would be hosted just one day after NDA for GeForce GTX 1080 ends. So we might get some teasers of new cards, but chances for product announcements are low. However we expect to hear more about current roadmap for Polaris.

30 minutes doesn't seem much time, but at least it means that the launch is near.

I can actually see some differences with this.

Also for AA on PC I don't know if he's using the max setting. I remember watching TB's stream and his AA setting was at max and looked fine. I'd imagine turning the AA to max will sort out the jagged edges or running it at 1440p/DSR.

On PS4, it looks like running low-med mixed setting 1080p native with TSSA 8X on, yes i have Doom on PS4. As for my PC... Sigh 30fps, maxed out 1440p with TSSA 8X on & Vysnce off. Tested on AMD FX 8370 8 Core/16GB ram/AMD R9 390.

And about Anti-Aliasing, i turned off completely & result...jaggies everywhere.

Yeah the level of detail on both X1/PS4 seems to be in that range along with a decent amount of image blurring/motion blur. PC does have some jaggies in that vid but like I said on TB's stream, he had AA at max and was doing fine and even getting more fps than 60.

I do wish they had MSAA though since that easily pairs up with Nvidia's MFAA setting within the NV control panel, though TSSA is decent. I do think DOOM would look much better at 4k, though I'm still going to be a few years off till I finally step into 4k, next year I'll be trying for 2k at the least and VR/4k maybe 3-4 years later.

Also am I the only one that really likes the new DOOM theme?, I feel it really adds to the "I don't give a fuck, I do what I want" nature of the DOOM guy as he shoots and rips apart his enemies. 

But this is horrible. 5.5 TFLOPs is not even much faster than a GTX980 (5.3TFLOPS) and significantly less than GTX 980Ti at 6.5 TFLOPs. So not that much faster than a GTX 980 and yet it's rated at 150W? AMD has talked so much about 2.5x performance per Watt , and considering a GTX 980 draws only 165W, a Polaris 10 shouldn't draw more than 100W.

I really really hope this rumour is false or else AMD is toast.
