N4G Home Page Hiccup

Hi everyone.

During the site transition earlier today, a setting was altered regarding the trending results on the home page and trending in general and it is showing results from a much wider range of days than the usual 1 day.

The development team is working on a fix. For now, you can either view by latest or see articles by heat from https://n4g.com/?tab=hottes... .

We apologize for the hiccup and will get you back to the usual trending view you're used to soon.

Thank you,
Christopher

There also appeared some very old articles in pending, from several thousand days ago.

Bruh, let's not age shame. (also, noted)

Nyxus471d ago

Sorry, I meant some very experienced articles.

Got to say Christopher, you've been on the ball during this transition.

Well played

Right as PSVR2 reviews are coming off of embargo. This was a pretty important day for the future of VR gaming. :\

I trust you guys will have it fixed quickly though.

*edit - the launch day hype should fix that next week though and I'm sure it'll be working by then!

''important day for the future of VR'' ???

OMG... you are way too deep.

closed_account471d ago

VR is in a stagnant place right now, and the leading VR platform, Quest 2 has it stuck in a casual "Wii" style place. PSVR2 is important because it has the potential of vitalizing AAA VR studio investment.

I play PC VR, using a Quest 2 actually, but I can't deny that Sony brings possible bigger AAA investment IF it can take off greater than before. So yes, it is important for this reason.

I get it. You're not a VR gamer. Move along if my post bothers you.

@Otter I think the point Stanjara was trying to make is that N4G has like 0.00000005% influence on VR being a success. If this site went down, we'd Google it. You made it sound like it was the be all and end all lol

N4Gs home page is nowhere near as fast as reporting news as it used to be and sometimes will even be days later. Tbh this site has become pretty late at reporting many things now. I guess it's a dip in users?

bunt-custardly471d ago

As someone who approves stories, there seems to be far less people doing this now than in previous years. Seems like people grew-up and no longer take notice or care about how many points they are earning, or how quick a news story gets posted. Blame the likes of Reddit and other SM platforms for this site's demise in that regard.

@christopher - perhaps the approvals process needs a revision. As in less approvals for news stories, than say for a review. With the age of some accounts here (mine included), you could give some of the older accounts here more power to approve things like media and news without the need for several people to deem it "newsworthy" before it gets approved.

Food for thought.

I feel this site is pretty good about things , so a little hiccup isn't gonna hurt no one. Looking forward to the new and improved things coming.

I love the game so far but please don’t make the final part a mini game fest

Everytime I get to a new part in Rebirth it’s “mini game time”

Kingdom Come Deliverance 2's Scope Was Impacted by Xbox Series S Limitations

Wccf tech writes: "Kingdom Come Deliverance 2's scope was impacted by the Xbox Series S hardware limitations, as developers could only make a game that was 25% bigger than its predecessor."

This is the issue with things like this

Xbox Series X is apparently to MS the worlds most powerful console

However the Series S is obviously a limitation because it’s underpowered and developers have to go for parity.

So what’s the point of the world’s most powerful console if you are holding third party developers back? They aren’t going to push themselves if they have to think about the weakest console.

The issue wouldn’t be as bad if it was just Xbox but you are also affecting the PS version aswell

I think developers need to start just taking advantage of a console and if one of them can’t do X Y and Z then f*** them…why should the others suffer. What’s MS going to do? The bigger the franchise the least chance MS are going to tell them to f*** off. Baulders Gate 3 seemed to have stood their ground and suddenly their “strict” parity rule didn’t really matter. We suddenly got super optimisation efforts for the Series S that got things sorted.

I agree, and the sad part is use normal folk saw it the second they announced their plans.

More info from the author of the article, I think: https://www.reddit.com/r/ki...

Quote:
"1) I was told this info from the producer of the game Martin Klíma.
2) He specifically said the game will have only one mode.
3) And this mode is 4K 30 on PS5/XSX and 1440p 30 on XSS.
4) He said that the game is already running north of the 30 FPS cap so the performance should be stable on launch, much better than KCD1.
5) The limitation was XSS because of the 10GB memory. He said that's why they wanted to make the game 25% larger.
6) Speculation on my part: the output resolution is probably upscaled and the reason why there won't be a 60 FPS mode is because it'll most likely be very CPU heavy, like Dragon's Dogma 2 for example."

Doesn't seem like they're adding a 40fps mode on PS5/Series X for launch even if they can handle it.

Sgt_Slaughter1h ago

I'd much rather have 1440p/60fps or even 45fps. Having just one, even with the Series S in mind, is disappointing.

franwex18m ago(Edited 15m ago)

Remember when xbots were adamant that the series s won’t hold back the gen?

Microsoft just needs to let go of the mandatory parity. Who cares if your grandma doesn’t understand that a game cannot be played on the S. It’s not like it she can buy you a physical game for it anyway. Before buying the game put up a notice that it only works on series X. If you’re buying for a friend-allow for a refund.

Bam. Everyone is happy. Most series s owners are for casuals that want Game Pass anyway and most likely don’t purchase most games.

If the developers want it to run on S, let them figure it out.

Jin_Sakai8m ago

“During the event, the Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 producer also revealed that on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X, the game will run at 4K resolution and 30 frames per second“

Another “creative decision” right? 🤦‍♂️
