That's some nasty horsepower. I guess its time to switch out my 1080p to a 4k projector.

yeah I was kinda already expecting Nvidia to be working on new hardware.
in my opinion though, i think it's great that the next gen consoles will be launching this year, as they would have a price to power advantage over pc. apposed to the next gen being delayed eliminating the price to power gap PC will have once Nvidia and AMD start to introduce their next lineup of cards. also bringing down the price of some of their older powerful cards.

- my two cents.

DevilOgreFish1534d ago (Edited 1534d ago )

@ tech
the console prices are not yet set in stone. i would imagine nvidia to introduce another expensive card.
this however does create the opportunity for them to also cut the prices of their RTX cards.
closing the price to power gap with the next gen consoles. should a delay ever happen to the next gen, that could edge the pc gaming market even closer to the next consoles.

Axonometri1533d ago

Agreed. I’ve been thinking I need to upgrade my projector to 4K for the consoles. Now it is more of a “I must” get a 4K projector. My pants pockets are oozing lava.

Unless you got a few thousand dollars for a video card for video games that are not made to be take advantage of this card. I would NOT get excited about this. Even the lowest configuration of the previous card mentioned cost $5,700 https://www.amazon.com/PNY-...

Seems so. Wonder if we'll hear about consumer cards at GTC? Or maybe we'll have to wait until Gamescom.. But that's not til August.

And as usual, they will massively overprice those video cards and a lot of people would need to sell a kidney just to afford one.

RazzerRedux1534d ago

In which case they were not overpriced at all. Supply <-> Demand = Price

AnubisG1534d ago

True but in the past few years crypto curency miners have driven prices to insane levels, though it has eased up now a bit on the last year or two I think but still the cards are very expensive because of miners is what I hear.

RazzerRedux1534d ago (Edited 1534d ago )

@AnubisG

The problem with the crypto miners was that the cards were bought at retail at regular price and then resold at outrageous prices on online stores such as ebay. The MSRP was never raised by Nvidia.

Either way, that hasn't been an issue ever since ASIC mining rigs took over as the preferred devices rather than gaming GPUs. You can walk into any store now and buy a GPU at regular price. During the crisis, GPUs were extremely scarce.

FlyingFoxy1534d ago (Edited 1534d ago )

If the 3080Ti is £1,000+ i won't be getting it, the 980Ti was just over £500, in 2 generations the high end Ti model has doubled in price so i can't see me being interested.

I'll be going for a 3070/3080 this time most likely, which should do well at 1440p high refresh rates.

Gridknac1533d ago

Lol, a 1080ti will absolutely smash anything @1440p, 100-120fps now. If that is as high as you are aiming, grabbing a 2080 super for cheap after the 30 series launches would be your best bet.

Activision team is opening a new game studio in Poland 'Elsewhere Entertainment' to build new AAA IP

Microsoft's Activision subsidiary announced today that it is opening a new game development studio to take advantage of the huge talent pool growing in Poland. It'll be the second Activision studio based in the region, joining Infinity Ward Krakow, although this studio is, in fact, not working on Call of Duty.

Calling Ubisoft a leader in open world gaming at any point in time would be like calling Dollar General a leader in retail.

excaliburps15h ago

Well, to be fair, they did pump out good open world games before. It was used as a template so much that people now know what it means when you say it's like an Ubi open world collectahon.

If they have never been the leader in open world gaming, then explain me this: why does almost every open world game follow the same tired old Ubisoft open world formula?

Wanting to expand on the whole subscription model and not owning games is fascinating, not.

"The point is not to force users to go down one route or another," he explains. "We offer purchase, we offer subscription, and it's the gamer's preference that is important here. We are seeing some people who buy choosing to subscribe now, but it all works."

£60 (Base Game/Pre-order Bonus) £95 (Base Game/Pre-order Bonus/Seasons Pass/3 Day Early Access)
£115 (Base Game/Pre-order Bonus/Seasons Pass/3 Day Early Access/Ultimate Pack)

But for the Impressive lowballing cost of £15 monthly you get the entire £115 package, which is pretty fascinating, not.
Every company out In the freaking cosmos want recurring revenue, I very much doubt this game will be scoring 8+ on the tally sheet.

Rockstar laughing loudly at this very moment.

It would be a cold day in hell that Ubisoft would risk launching a Watch Dogs 4 on the same day as GTA 6, or any other Rockstar game, this is all a bunch of PR speak they (probably) don't actually believe, like "AAAA".

GhostMirror3h ago

Rockstar are boring as shit now too. Stop giving them a pass. I don’t know why people still wear rose-coloured glasses when talking about them. RDR2 is the only new game they’ve put out in the past decade because they live off microtransactions from GTA & Read Dead Online. They’re nowhere near as interesting or relevant as a developer and publisher as they were in the PS2 and PS360 eras as far as I’m concerned.

Skuletor2h ago

I'd agree, quality wise, and PS2 era was peak R* but without checking the. actual statistics, I'm comfortable believing R* are leaders in open world games in regards to sales, which is the only thing that truly matters to these companies.

GhostMirror18m ago(Edited 17m ago)

@Skuletor Yes, I’m sure GTA6 will sell better than anything Ubisoft puts out. You’ll get no argument from me on that one.

And we’re in full agreement that the PS2 era was peak Rockstar. I loved what they did with Max Payne 3 as well, but that was the end of Rockstar as we knew them up until that point. I hope Dan Houser’s new studio can recapture some of that magic. He was the head writer after all.

They haven’t had any bangers since the ps3 generation imo. Some 8/10s maybe. Ghost recon wildlands was ok. But it was the 2010s where I thought Ubisoft was actually one of the greats. That reputation has dwindled lol

"Return to Leadership" on the same idea with Live Service Games and Open World Games... Yeah sure champ, go ahead.

The first games they made where great, but now everyone have to complete a "to do list" that make them mediocre and formulaic at best. Good luck old man.

Proof that Ubi-junk doesn't want to go back to their old ways. Open world games are dime a dozen and played out, whatever happened to the well crafted linear or chapter-based masterpieces like Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, or Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory?

That era of Ubi-junk is long gone now, open world games are all they want to make because they can be monetized easier. Experience points, skill trees, resource hunting, treasure boxes, equipment upgrades, copy paste side quests. All these boring functions lend themselves well to open world games and micro-trash-actions, and less so for linear, or chapter-based games. This is why everything from Ubi-junk these days have to be open world. Not to make games better or more exciting, but in order to profit more off of them. They are rotten to their very core, they don't care about what gamers want, only how much money they can make off the fools that buy their trash.

Petebloodyonion1h ago

Again companies focus on the same old AAA formula of yearly releases because despite the usual complaints of not again the same trash, a boring open world made with reused assets does sell, just like Call of duty sells, EA sports games sell, etc.

If games like Mario+Rabbids or Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown were selling then we would have a different story but they failed despite great reviews.

Demetrius47m ago(Edited 47m ago)

They still make enjoyable games but that's just bout what they aim for they never really drop some shhi that'll have us in some sort of shock, great graphics, smooth animations/gameplay, quality story like when we saw Ghost Of Tsushima for the first time
