  1. Ford Adjusts F-150 Lightning Prices by Up to $9,979 for Customers

    Throttle-by-wire isn't too bad these days, but I'll be damned if I ever drive a car with steering-by-wire. Looking at you, Nissan/Infiniti.
  2. NVIDIA Launches Portal: Prelude RTX with Full Ray Tracing, DLSS 3, and RTX IO, a new GPU-Accelerated Storage Technology

    It's not the storage calls, it's the GPU-side decompression that leverages NVIDIA hardware in RTX IO. I haven't been able to find a white paper, so I don't know how exactly it works, but it sounds like they're just using any idle cores for decompression. They say that it scales with the number...
  3. NVIDIA Launches Portal: Prelude RTX with Full Ray Tracing, DLSS 3, and RTX IO, a new GPU-Accelerated Storage Technology

    It's not their own version, it is just software to optimize DirectStorage for use on NVIDIA hardware, particularly on Lovelace. It's similar to what RTX is to DXR.
  4. Sony to Allocate 60% of PS5 Game Development Spending toward Live Service Games

    Live service games are the reason Sony acquired Bungie. They don't have the capital to buy a bigger publishing house like Activision or EA.
  5. 15th Gen Intel Core “Arrow Lake S” CPUs Are Up to 21% Faster Than Core i9-13900K: Report

    This is actually embarrassing, at this point. AMD continues to wipe the floor with Intel when it comes to performance per watt. It would mean that Intel 4 is just able to match 3rd-gen Ryzen in that metric, more than 4 years after that AMD processor launched. How is Intel still not able to...
  6. Star Wars Outlaws Planets Are Larger than “Multiple Zones” in Assassin’s Creed Odyssey, with No Procedural Generation

    Developers really need to stop bragging about the size of their games like it's something to be proud of. This statement from the game director actually turns me off from the game.
  7. Xbox Game Pass Core Replaces Xbox Live This September

    A lifetime subscription would cost around $5k. How would Microsoft subsidize that to sell it at a palatable price?
  8. John Romero’s “Doom Guy: Life in First Person” Autobiography Is Now Available

    At Comic Con, somebody should do a new version of the gag and ask Romero to sign their copy of Doom 2016.
  9. Disney CEO Bob Iger Says It Is Pulling Back on Marvel and Star Wars Projects to Contain Costs

    All they need to do is get writers and other principle creative staff that actually respect the source material instead of wanting to murder it. That is the difference between phases 1-3 and phase 4+. Coincidentally, after Disney kicked out their Marvel Comics advisors from the writing room...
  10. Ford Adjusts F-150 Lightning Prices by Up to $9,979 for Customers

    Couldn't agree more. It's something I've been saying since the new EV push and hybrids hit the market 20 years ago. I don't need my car to stand out from others in order to make some kind of statement. Toyota has gotten that through their thick skulls in the past few years, with the Hybrid...
  11. Daedelic Entertainment Is Closing Its Development Department Following the Disastrous Lord of the Rings: Gollum Release

    Shadow Tactics wasn't developed by Daedalic, it was only published by them. Shadow Tactics was made by a tiny private developer called Mimimi Games. They also made Desperados III. They have a game like Shadow Tactics coming out in August with pirates instead of ninjas called Shadow Gambit...
  12. Far Cry Source Code Leaks Online 19 Years After Release

    The source code is the reason games like the original Doom has had such long legs. It's so sad that id no longer releases their source code after a number of years have passed since Zenimax acquired them. The original Far Cry had numerous outstanding issues after the last patch was released...
  13. Metal Gear Fans Are Mad About MASTER COLLECTION Vol. 1’s Lack of Keyboard and Mouse Support: “No Purchase from Me”

    There are pro players who use keyboard in fighting games. Custom Hit Boxes with keys for movement are more common than traditional keyboards these days, but the control input is the same.
  14. World’s First Flying Car Earns FAA Approval for Testing

    I mean, if Alef actually delivers on their promise that will be quite a feat and worth the purchase. Grimlakin's whole point is that it will be impossible to pull off, which is why he said it. And I agree.
  15. World’s First Flying Car Earns FAA Approval for Testing

    At the bottom of the article, it says that they haven't actually done any practical research and development up to this point due to not having the necessary certification to do so. It says that it has successfully flown a skeleton and full-size version of the vehicle, but of course nobody can...
  16. Blizzard Will Announce Diablo IV Season 1 on July 6, including New Class for Diablo Immortal

  17. Microsoft Reveals 21M+ Xbox Series X|S Consoles Sold, In-Game Advertising Coming

    I guess everyone has forgotten Battlefield 2142? In-game ads in 2006, baby!
  18. Indiana Jones and The Dial of Destiny Opens at $60M Domestic on a $300M+ Budget: “Disastrous”

    I saw Dunkirk in IMAX, too, and had the same experience at first. At the beginning of the movie where it follows the one soldier racing out of the city on foot, and he gets shot at, I literally looked over my shoulder when the sound of the round went whizzing by. Some of the best sound I've...
  19. 12VHPWR Connector Will Reportedly Be Replaced by a 12V-2×6 Connector according to an Upcoming PCI-SIG CEM 5.1 Specifications Update

    Looks the same, just with the sense pins set further back within the plug. Seems like it's the simplest way to make sure people are plugging it in all the way.
