The creator behind Hunter x Hunter is dipping his toes into the world of video game horror with artwork of one of the best-selling PlayStation titles.
Former Activision studio Toys for Bob partners with Xbox to publish its first game as an indie. This is something of a homecoming, as Microsoft owns Activision.
Manages to buy their freedom especially after all the shit Microsoft has been doing with its studios lately
...
Goes right back to them as partners.
Okaaaaaay...
Xbox’s gaming division seems to still function as 3 semi-autonomous sub-divisions, Xbox Studios, Bethesda and ABK. The three main sub-divisions can seemingly shut down or build studios and set up partnerships independently. This would explain why Bethesda can recently shutdown studios, while ABK spins off one studio, while building a new one. Plus, Toys for Bob could be spun off by ABK, only to immediately re-partner with Microsoft.
The Nerd Stash: "Developed by Treyarch Studios, Call of Duty: Black Ops games are some of the best in the series in terms of gameplay, story, and -- of course -- Zombies."
So how does this match up to the GT280?
Even if the 4870 is 70%ish of the GT280's power, then ATI will also have the most powerful graphic card out - The HD 4870X2. Cant see Nvidia making a dual card this gen. The heat and noise - not to mention price, would all be way too high. And the 4870 is supected higher than that, up to 40% as powerful as the 9800GTX.
Either way Nvidia have stuffed up and can expect to make losses or at the very least have ATI taking a clear lead.
do they not understand that this is their entry model.
Compare the hd4870X2 to the g280gtx
Meant that the 4870 is supposed to 40% MORE powerful than the 9800GTX, the way I worded it sounded funny.
Damn the wait for the X2 is nerve wracking, by the looks of things, it's going to be an instant buy for me.
Nvidia are taking the piss charging £420 for a graphics cards,thank god ATI are back in the game ,their new generation of 4000 cards kick major ass for half the money Nvidia are charging.Paying £400+ is a joke its about time nvidia were shaken up a bit
