Far Cry Primal gets free Survivor Mode: permadeath, stamina, sleep, food, etc.

This sounds pretty cool. I wonder if the changes make it harder/harsher than Far Cry 2 now.

I really dislike that new Dark Souls trailer. The animation looks far to goofy.

The Eli Roth one? It's like DeviantArt does Dark Souls.

PS4K is so entertaining. I hope it pushes new PC GPUs to come out and prices to drop (on old cards because I haven't ever bought a new card).

how does it run compared to Unity?

Assuming you played Unity on PC, of course

And a 4K texture pack for the PC, which is slipped in at the very end. I'll probably hit the pause button on my current playthrough as I only have ~35% to go, which is both not much but still a sizeable chunk. Might as well enjoy full-res textures for the last leg.

Comparably demanding at max settings but scales better to lesser hardware.

I havent played one of these games in a long time

according to ass-creed-only player Jason Jasey Jase C Unity looked better and had better AA options

I don't have a 4K monitor (until just the other month I was still using a 22" 1680x1050 one), but that doesn't mean the difference in texture resolution won't be noticeable.

I do apologise, but I can't hear you over this lovely cacophony of "max settings" and "60fps".

Sounds good, I only have Unity and Syndicate left and i'll finally be caught up with the series for the first time since Brotherhood came out. Looking forward to checking Unity out!

I get why megathreads suck

but really, it's like every user with an opinion on it want's to have that opinion discussed by other people

why so many threads

There is still hope.

I don't know, sometimes Megathreads are a necessary evil.

Does GAF automatically disable avatars at a certain load or is it done manually?

picked a great time to make a non-ps4k gaming thread

 

[Amzin]

I barely have time to (not really) keep up with this thread. I glanced into Gaming and realize I have no idea how to identify if anything is going on outside the norm

"Just a bunch of threads and people posting in them. Yep. *sips coffee*"

What's the lowest Skyrim: Legendary Edition usually goes? I figure grabbing it on sale is probably the cheapest way to get the expansions, no?

Saw this post a few days back and wanted to point out that Skyrim Legendary is now cheap on Bundlestars...

Thinking of upgrading my RAM to 16 since I'm currently at 8. I can't even find my old RAM on amazon anymore. Can I mix different brands of ram? I assume I can't mix speed or CL. Should I just get a brand new set of RAM to avoid confusion? Was thinking of getting this

Holy shit, I didn't realize Tomb Raider RotTB supported DX12. I put it at 4k@ultra settings and did some quick benches via the built-in bench utility. Quick and dirty, here is my rig

single R9 290
Dual X5667 @ 3.4Ghz
DDR3 Triple Channel

DirectX 12 disabled: 18 FPS (average across all scenes)

DirectX 12 enabled: 28FPS (average across all scenes)

That's a HUGE 50% jump.

Edit: Launched GoW Ultimate to see if they included DX12 but I don't see the option. Either an update to the game or the latest AMD drivers resolves all of the frame rate problems it had previously. 4k@ultra also does 30FPS stable, would be interesting to see if I could get DX12 results.

You can mix brands and speeds. Timings don't really matter. Obviously, though, if you have, say, 2x4GB of DDR3-1600 RAM and 2x4GB of DDR3-2133 RAM, then you'll limited to 1600MHz in dual-channel mode -- your RAM will only be as fast as the weakest link.

Considering the sheer amount of time that goes towards their esportz featurez during press conferences, definitely. Doubly so for Halo since their streamer numbers are nil the rest of the time as well, save for being front page featured.

Yeah, I'd just buy a 16GB 2133MHz kit and sell your current one as faster RAM can help in CPU-limited situations. I specify 2133MHz as it's where the 2600K's memory controller caps out... which is something I wish I'd known before buying a 2400MHz kit.

I can't figure out how Adam Jensen's coat works.

It makes his shoulders so giant and displaces his arms by some length.

Hero shooters... or just Overwatch? Because I suspect it won't even be close in the upcoming Hero Shooter Warz.

So PS4K launching 3 1/2 years after the PS4? 6 years between PS4 and PS5, with announcement 5 years in possibly? So will this be the first console gen I completely skip? The only PS4 exclusive I'm excited over is Uncharted, and given that it'll get a PS5 port most likely, I feel like I can wait.

There's a reason he never retracts his retractable sunglasses. And it's not just because the entire UI is contained there.
