Every time I see the Avengers game I feel like it looks fun and polished. Top tier? Does it matter? It looks playable and spectacular.

Has it been confirmed 4 player co-op?

[Morris Schæffer]

Not sure. Gamescom is on. Netflix confirms resident evil series. Sweet!!

Just added a 2TB external to my PS4. Reinstalling a lot of good times right now.

Haha. I did the same a few months ago for Last of Us 2. No need to delete and download stuff.

Am I the only one who finds the idea of a "pre order reservation" hilariously warped?

Let me know when I can put my name in to pre-order a reserved spot for pre-ordering the pre-order.

Not if it can cut down on third party sales and markups which is what drives the console to be out of stock to begin with.

They should just handle it all first party, then, if it's that much of a problem.

Having to sign up to pre-order to MAYBE get one is ludicrous.

Sony isn't a distributor so that wouldn't work at all.

I just think there has to be a better way.

Pre-ordering a pre-order is silly.

Started Resident Evil VII. Boy I can see how this is going to be nerve-wracking.

Could be debateable as one of the best in the series.

It's funny that with the upcoming part 8 said to have a supernatural slant, which the trailer alludes to, that this part 7 has enemies which are stabbed, knifed, shot at, blown up and pretty much killed then reappear moments later totally out of nowhere to have another go at you. I guess the mansion and the focus on 1 family meant it was either that or just a few enemies throughout the entire game.

The acting is kinda weird...again. Dude goes looking for his girlfriend after she dissapeared 3 years ago, finds her (not a spoiler really, happens after 20 minutes), and pretty much without a shred of believable emotion just utters her name.

But no problem, it's still pretty thrilling I have to say.

Nvidia presented their RTX graphic cards. More bang for yer buck seems to be the case here.

Could be good news for if I ever want to buy a new 'Half-Life Alyx' ready PC. The 'sweet spot' RTX3070 starts at 499 USD and it’s faster than the $1,200 GeForce RTX 2080 Ti — at less than half the price, according to Nvidia. Which is pretty amazing if true.

Marketing mumbojumbo. If you have a 2080 you likely won't see any difference if you upgrade to a 3070.

Anyone running 1080 or lower would likely see a difference. I'm likely going to upgrade straight to the RTX3090 which will take care of me for 5+ years.

Performance wise most likely not much. But performace per watt etc? Probably. And that's huge.

Considering the 3070 requires an 750 watt PSU, and 850 for the 3090, not really saying much.

Dear Rockstar, I know you wanted a cut scene with Micah taking a step or two and dying, but if someone places six rounds in his face, you should probably account for that.

I still have a GTX 970 in my computer lol. I can't recall when I bought this machine, but it's served me fine for several years now. I don't play many resource-intensive games these days. I'll probably get a new computer in the next five years.

Super Mario 3D All-stars for the Switch 18 September.

Super Mario 64, Mario Sunshine and Mario Galaxy part 1.

Nice!

[Irish]

Cool games, terrible release.

They're doing a limited run for both physical and digital, which is absolutely moronic.

[Stay Puft]

Why are they skipping Galaxy 2?

That AR Mario Kart thing was amusing.

I think my all-time favorite is that Spanish guy telling the paella story. Somehow people who crib this always seem to do such an amazing job with the subtitles. Ofc his own charm and laugh are most of it, but it never fails to kill me.
