I just returned my iPod Touch about few weeks ago, since I realized that the new refreshments of products were soon due.

The thing is the touch was amazing. I never seen anything like it... the touch sensitivity and acuracy were amazing. If I could wait about 4 more weeks for something even better then Its tottaly worth it. The touch is probably the first ipod that really made a major push in technology other then memory size wise. All the other previous models were just small GB increases, Screen size, and sleeker. After the touch came out im really looking forward to what apple can do next.

Buying the new touch revision for sure.

Danja5746d ago

I agree The Touch is amazing....but im willing to keep mine till The next Touch Iteration is out...^_^

Aclay5746d ago

I have an Ipod Touch (8GB version) too and really love it. Apple is the poster boy for releasing new products every year though, especially the Ipods, but I still love their products.

If the newer Ipod Touch is a lot better than the older version, I might just buy it, but if not, I'll stick with the Ipod Touch that I already have for another year or two.

aaquib55746d ago

Then I upgraded to the iPhone. I really wish Apple had just built in speakers and hardware volume controls into the touch.

Why Is No One Making AAA Horror Games Anymore?

Saif from eXputer inquires, "Despite the everlasting popularity of the genre, why hasn't there been a good AAA horror game in a while now?"

Jin_Sakai21h ago

Because the gaming industry is obsessed with live service games.

Rynxie7h ago

Because he touches himself at night to characters like lady Dimitrescu.

Crows904h ago

You're the one still thinking about her

Rynxie4h ago

@crow

Did I give away your secret? It's okay, if you sit on your hand and numb it, you can pretend it's her playing with your little stick.

MaximusPrime_20h ago

Good for me, I have no interests in horror games

-Foxtrot11h ago

Even when they do it's first person trying to copy Outlast, Five Nights, P.T etc

I think the Dead Space / RE2 / RE4 Remake and the Evil Within 2 showed you can have a good story based, third person survival horror game.

thesoftware7308h ago

Calisto Protocol was also fun with fantastic presentation.

FinalFantasyFanatic44m ago

I feel like we haven't had much in the way of horror games for years, I think it became rare after the PS2/PS3 gen. Maybe i'll pick up that Crow Country that recently came out, that looks good.

Redemption-649h ago

Because outside of a fee games, most don't sell that well

Crows904h ago

So in other words...AAA publishers don't have creativity or passion for games.

CrimsonWing699h ago

Didn’t we have Dead Space Remake and Resident Evil 4 Remake last year?

thorstein9h ago(Edited 9h ago)

Among others

And isn't Dying Light 2 a horror game?

Scissorman9h ago

And Alan Wake 2 and Alone in the Dark.

We also had The Quarry and The Dark Pictures The Devil In Me.

New and improved ASUS ROG Ally X battery life is just what it needs to compete with the Steam Deck

Yet another leak for the ASUS ROG Ally X points towards as much as 8 hours of battery, but how does that compare to the competition?

Vits3d ago

Honestly, I really like this updated version. But it doesn't solve the biggest flaw that the original had for me: the Z1 Extreme APU. Yes, it's an extremely powerful part, but it is not part of AMD's Adrenalin driver update program, so it's dependent on Asus for driver updates. And unfortunately, Asus doesn't have a stellar record of support for their devices.

Goodguy013d ago

Up to 8 hours basically just means the least demanding games. AAA gaming at highest wattage would probably be about 2-3 hours which is good compared to just about 1 hour with the current ally. The OLED Deck can do about 2-3hrs.

mrcatastropheAF15h ago

With much less performance so that makes sense.

The Steamdeck shines at the lower TDP end but gets absolutely mopped at the high end.

Similar longevity with much better performance is a big win for the Ally X

Killa781d 12h ago

Too bad Asus are all awful company.

PRIMORDUS1d 8h ago

They used to be the best when it comes to motherboards, now I will never buy anything from them again.

Firebird3601d 10h ago

8 hrs yea right. Running tetris?

Skuletor1d 8h ago

Only after setting the screen brightness to the lowest level, of course.

Notellin16h ago

They tested the battery life watching a game of Tetris in 360p. Running Tetris natively brought the number down slightly to 1 hour and 38 minutes. 😂

Asuka1d 9h ago

Nope. The only improvements I want to hear is better customer support. Otherwise, I can't be bothered.

N64: Recompiled — Creating Native PC Ports Is A Godsend For Game Preservation

"In a time when companies don't care about preserving games, I have high respect for the creators of projects like N64: Recompiled." - Hanzala from eXputer.

gold_drake2d ago

it is, i might be finally able to play Snowboard kids 1 full screen ha.

purple1011d 14h ago

il beat you to the ski-lift,

framerate on snowboard kids was shocking, do you remember./?

talking of shocking framerate and kart racers style games,
Sony had a gem on ps3, with 'Modnation Racers' but again, framerate was so terrible, still fun though, indeed, when is drifting sideways not fun, the answer is never. we have not seen enough of that game, technically some people made race tracks/games in dreams and little big planet etc, but its just not the same,!!! grrrrr

morning rant over.

here, relive some ,memories. https://www.youtube.com/wat...

itBourne1d 11h ago

The load time on ModNation where also excruciatingly long... But man oh man I wish that game took off more, so much fun! Could turn off garbage rubber banding, I had karts with 100's of stickers to design some crazy cool stuff, custom tracks. Fantastic undeappreciated game

gold_drake1d 7h ago

SK1 had a fairly good framerate. sk2 maybe not so much ha

Redgrave1d 7h ago

Some food for thought:

Would you donate your physical copy of a really rare/expensive cartridge (Conkers's BFD, Bomberman 64 Second Attack, Ogre Battle 64, the two Castlevania titles, etc) to those managing this project for the greater good of getting them preserved online for all to experience at some point?

UltimateOwnage1d 7h ago

As long as it meant they never took money from Patreon and invited a DMCA takedown / lawsuit by Nintendo to take it all away. After seeing the whole debacle with Yuzu I now question how long any of these teams can maintain game preservation efforts through emulator development, or otherwise.

franwex1d 4h ago

I mean. They may borrow them…

Profchaos1d 1h ago

Is it realistically needed though I would not personally give anyone my old carts for games that are already persevered and easily available online

Inverno1d 7h ago

The snippet of ray tracing at the end of the og trailer was low-key amazing. I found out thanks to Nerrel who also made a texture pack for MM, and i can't wait to see how much more great this game will be in the near future. With model swaps, ray tracing, retextures, and a more quicker process than decompilation, it's gonna bring new life to N64 games.

Profchaos1d 1h ago

There might need to be a bit of clarification recompilation is not the same as decompilation.

This is basically a container to excite the rom within but allows for all sorts of beat additions and tricks like new lighting effects such as ray tracing to be added.

But decompilation would ultimately be king as it allows for a widespread porting capabilities and uses the assets from games to build a native install for PC or whatever the target system is e.g Mario 64 for PC or sonic mania for psvita / wii
