    Used Games Sales and the Future: Still Needed?

    Okay, let me rephrase my argument. Steam. You can also run any Windows program in compatibility mode all the way back to Windows 98 pretty sure.

    Used Games Sales and the Future: Still Needed?

    So it'll take 30 seconds instead of 15 seconds once Google Fiber becomes popular. That's still tolerable. Also, what do you mean by data loss prevention? Unless your drive dies or you accidentally corrupt or delete the file (which would be your fault if you do), I've never heard of a hard...

    Used Games Sales and the Future: Still Needed?

    The data layer of a disk doesn't have to be damaged. If the plastic gets damaged enough, the laser won't be able to pass through it properly and therefore it will be unable read the data layer underneath. Just because I game on PC doesn't mean I've never used optical medium. Severe scratches...

    Used Games Sales and the Future: Still Needed?

    Everyone seems to be arguing the same things so I'll explain my post to everyone at once. What happens when you loose or can't find your disc? You can't really argue against this one. People do loose games, and with digital distribution, this never happens. Even if it gets delisted, if you...

    Used Games Sales and the Future: Still Needed?

    Like it or not, physical copies are on their way out, and I'm looking forward to the day they die out completely. What happens when you loose or can't find your disc? You're screwed. What happens when you scratch your disc? You're screwed. What happens when a natural or artificial event...

    Nintendo working on an Android tablet!

    Oh, well then everyone except Nvidia is finished. Nvidia is currently developing the Tegra 5, and early benchmarks show that the SoC is about 3 times more powerful than any mobile chip on the market right now. Since this is achieved to the fact that the SoC is a scaled down desktop Kelper, I...

    Hardware 3DS XL minor issues

    1) That's normal. 2) Just how loose is it? Plug in the charging cable and hold the device with the back (where the charing cablet/port is) facing downwards. If the cable fall of it's own accord, try a different charger. If it still happens, time for exchange.

    Nintendo working on an Android tablet!

    Um... they already make tablets. Sony: Microsoft: The problem is that Nintendo is a game company only. They don't have the resources and experience to compete with Sony and Microsoft when it comes to tablets. If Sony and Microsoft decide to compete with Nintendo in tablets...

    Nintendo working on an Android tablet!

    I think this is a sign Nintendo's getting desperate. It would be kind of a shame to see them pull back from being one of the top Japanese game companies. I wonder what their long terms plans are for this.

    Gaming Does Anyone Else Here Dislike FXAA?

    In case you didn't know, FXAA is a relatively new AA algorithm made by Nvidia. It seem to be getting quite popular as late, due to it's low resource consumption. However, it is always tends to make the whole screen blurry, especially textures. When removing jagged lines, it's as effective as 8x...

    Nintendo working on an Android tablet!

    I think you're overestimating everything. It will run Android 1.6 Cupcake, skinned to remove 90% of the functionality. No root, locked bootloader, no settings, no task manager, no Google Play, no installing APKs, and not even a lock screen. The UI will be exactly the same as the 3DS. The screen...

    Hardware Console Power vs the twins

    Video game. Video game. Video = visuals. Game = gameplay. Half of a video game is visuals. If visuals truly did not matter, we'd still all be playing those text-based game that came out in the 70s. Good graphics and framerate can help a video game in many ways. Increase immersion, enhance...

    Don't need GTX, I'm fine with my GTS 450.

    Ode to Kirito-kun

    Well, this is only one end of the spectrum. The freedom of PC gaming is also about the freedom of hardware. Anywhere for a $500 budget rig for playing less intensive games at standard 1080p all the way up to a $9000 monster that'll breeze through any game at 4K for the next several years and...

    Hardware Console Power vs the twins

    The Intel HD 4000 is still decent. It'll play Skyrim on medium settings 1080p 30 FPS.

    Hardware Console Power vs the twins

    The Macbook Pro's not a bad choice for light PC gaming. The GT 650M is an okay chip for a compact notebook. It will actually play demanding games like Battlefield 3 at medium settings 1080p 40 FPS or 900p 60 FPS. Bests the Wii U in raw power too.

    Hardware Console Power vs the twins

    The PC is an well-known alternative gaming platform to the PS4/Xbone, and is therefore relevant to the subject at hand.

    Hardware Console Power vs the twins

    So comparing one console favorably against another console (what people are doing in this thread against the Wii U) is perfectly fine but it's not okay if we bring PCs (another viable gaming platform) into the mix? Don't remember seeing that on the site rules.

    Hardware Console Power vs the twins

    That tablet CPU is actually an Ivy Bridge Core i7. So yes, you can't compare the two CPU as the tablet CPU is more powerful.
