    What will it take for a space opera show to become mainstream?

    CBS is trying to do that with Star Trek Discovery, and the results have been rather poor, unless you're someone who doesn't like Star Trek, then your chances of liking the show increase.

    Nintendo Switch has sold 4.7 Million units to date.

    The Gamecube had a couple of things going against it, aside from Nintendo's terrible relationship with third parties outside of a small number of Japanese developers. It use a proprietary mini-disc format that stored only a little over a quarter of what a single layer DVD could, so some larger...

    Poll: Shadowbanning/Stealth Banning; Agreeable or No?

    I think you're confused, shadowbanning can only be done by the Reddit admins, not the subreddit moderators. Subreddit mods can just ban users from participating in their subreddits. Some subreddits even have bots that automatically ban people who follow or post in certain other subreddits in...

    Michel Ancel Says Beyond Good & Evil 2 is at "Day Zero of Development"

    I'm calling it now: it will be cancelled early next year once Vivendi completes its hostile takeover of Ubisoft as the game will not be considered profitable enough.

    Poll: Xbox One X vs PS4 Pro.

    Do you own a 4K TV? If the answer is no, then get neither, the absolutely shit CPUs of the PS4 and Xbone are still present in the upgraded models and often prevent any improvements to actual performance. The PS4 Pro and Xbox One X can only render at a higher resolution and thus make the game...

    Vanquish PC Bug Makes Higher Framerates Equal Higher Damage Taken

    Japanese developers love doing this because up until very recently they developed their games exclusively for consoles and the option for framerates higher than the target simply didn't exist. This of course comes back to bite them in the ass now when they decide to release a PC port, because...

    Star Trek: Discovery "First Look" Trailer

    Films need to make more than double their production budget to really profit once you factor in marketing and distribution costs. At best Beyond might have barely broken even once you factor in foreign ticket sales and home video sales. Beyond is probably more similar to Nemesis in terms of box...

    Star Trek: Discovery "First Look" Trailer

    Star Trek (2009) was reasonably successful and Into Darkness also made a profit though it didn't do as well as Star Trek (2009) Star Trek Beyond was a minor box office failure. Compared to Paramount's other films of that year, Beyond did well, but that's not saying much considering just about...

    Call of Duty: WWII Confirmed

    They can't do that due to the lack of any sort of automatic weaponry in those eras. Battlefield got away with World War I by including a lot of prototype and limited production weapons and making light machine guns far more common on the battlefield than they actually were. Doing American Civil...

    The Force Awakens question

    In the old EU, the Galactic Civil War continued for another fifteen years after the events of Return of the Jedi. For the first 8 years of that the Imperials were pretty splintered, and were spending more time fighting each other than fighting the Rebels. Eventually all the warlords were killed...

    Differences between Source Port and Emulation?

    A Source Port is the game modified to run natively on modern OSes and hardware, along with adding additional graphical features, and in the case of Doom allowing vertical aiming. Emulation would be something like DOSBox which creates a virtual DOS PC that runs the original 1993 game in a DOS...

    Fan Project to get Breath of the Wild Running on PC Makes Major Progress

    More like 100 Konamis. They'd get down to 10 Konamis if they'd finally realize they have no place in the hardware market and go third party.

    What are some space games that give you total control?

    Sounds like Elite: Dangerous might be interesting to you. It's an open world space sim that is pretty open ended as far as how you want to play eg. combat focused, trading or exploring the universe, and you do have to manually control your ship during docking, failure to land on the right pad or...

    Excclusive! :(

    True, but the console versions are vastly inferior due to extremely limited mod support in the case of Fallout 4, and the console versions of both Fallout 4 and Witcher 3 suffer from poor performance. Unless your PC is even worse than the Xbone and the PS4 there is no reason to play either game...

    Nintendo Switch Game Saves are Stored on the Console, Can't Be Transferred

    That probably isn't a concern for the Switch, it simply isn't powerful enough to run current AAA games with high resolution textures and all the bells and whistles. You're not going to see the latest 50GB installment of Battlefield, Call of Duty or Grand Theft Auto on the Switch. In practice...
