The long-awaited Xbox exclusive is finally almost here, and so is its "power of the cloud" fueled multiplayer destruction.
Tencent is set to buy Sumo Group in a deal worth $1.27bn (£919m), the companies have announced.
Tencent is really buying up everything. I'm surprised everyone is selling to them like this.
I honestly thought ms or Sony would have nabbed them, seeing as they have worked for both on their respective ips, colour me surprised.
Microsoft recently released their Xbox Cloud Gaming PC Beta which allows users the opportunity to stream Xbox games to their Windows 10 PCs or laptops. This follows on from being able to use the cloud gaming on mobile devices which works very well but is limited to the size of your screen. Having the option to play Xbox games with a larger display has its obvious benefits.
CG writes: Nvidia’s claims that the RTX 3090 can render games in 8K at 60 FPS, ring true for us in this video. We put the game Crackdown 3 through its paces with some interesting results.
It's good it's possible but who would pick this over 4K60 on ultra? It would look far better
Let's be honest here, even with extra high settings at 8k 120fps... it'll still look like crap. Sorry.
No lag, no frame drops, I wouldn't have believed it had Red Dead Redemption 2 not been native 4k. I guess anything's possible color me a believer now 😂
Well, its seeming like the destruction is actually real. However, a common theme im seeing is people worrying about longevity of the mode. Obviously the demo doesn't have all the content, hopefully there is a progression system or something to keep you playing this mode.
Well people who said only MS site previews it and say good thing about it can finally open their eyes now.
It better be real since it’s the biggest reason the game took so long to develop
Look guys. Obviously, a cloud, or a server, or host is needed for a multiplayer game. It's always needed. So, when we get crap meant to mislead like this 'not possible without ...". Well, it's true. But, it's misleading. Because, they try to make out Azure as something special. It isn't. Which is why they keep calling it the "cloud" rather than specifically making headlines like "only Azure can do this".
It's not improving console power either, which they have backed out saying because they exploited believers about its capabilities being raised. It's just necessary to sync all player actions and calculations for the whole. Servers ready to be rented are already all over the world. Azure just happens to be owned by MS, but the end result and hosting process is largely the same with every product. Azure isn't special. It's just owned by MS, and is a flex. The massive scale of Azure is also a terrible drawback, because it was already average server hardware back when it was built. Now in order to upgrade it they have far more maintenance to be done.
These physics are also not impressive. Many, many objects can be broken, but the poly counts are low and the physics are very basic. It doesn't mean the game will be less enjoyable. It means nothing for the cloud has been proven innovative here. It's just a little less unorthodox. Lets break the illusion of new tech here, because it's absolutely not.
I'll continue to point out misleading, false hype, and fanboyish retort to make things a bigger deal than they are. It's just silly. Just have a game that is good at its core that you don't have to leave a trail of hype train bread crumbs like "gonna play this on.." type comments, clinging on to spun info from Public Representatives that are literally all talk and no action, and repeating rehearsed cult-like statements like "the powah" or "the beast" without correlating why nothing there is groundbreaking, mind-blowing, new, or even unexpected, because tech moves fasts. I swear you'll be so much happier when you start calling it like you see it, and then see them work for you with honest efforts and finally deliver something based on constructive feedback.
It's like the justified last gen Red Faction comparisons on local hardware were forgotten after CD3 fell off the radar for so long.
