Unless they’re reporting on a factual event, game - indeed most entertainment - journalism is inherently opinion pieces because most of it is reviews and those are opinions. Some of them are batshit nuts, but that’s people for you.
Good, nVidia can eat some shit and humble pie this generation.
They're trying to advertise $549 as "affordable". Just because they cleared the bar that Nvidia buried three feet into the ground doesn't make them Olympian champions.
I’ve resigned myself that affordable performance in PC gaming in Australia is gonna be starting at $1000.
It looks like "Crysis meets Hard Reset". One of those games was actually good. I wonder which one this will take after?
I take it you are referring to Hard Reset as the good game. I can agree with you there; mainly the Redux port that came out on consoles.

Oh, no no no no. I could not stand Hard Reset. Somewhere in the "what are you playing" thread I complained about muddy visuals, confusing enemy design, pointless story and how annoying it was for the player character to scream like a fresh amputee even when he takes literally one point of damage. Played it once and uninstalled it.
Redux Cleans up some of the visuals and makes the game easier. You get a sword too. I would play HR(R) over Crysis 1. Not the sequel though
Is that like a bolt on emulator or just some sort of like transcriber?A group of modders have created Xbox 360 recompilation tools that they used to port Sonic Unleashed to pc, tho technically these tools could be used to get any 360 to run natively on pc.

It's not an emulator or translation layer. They used tools to decompile the 360 game it and then recompiled it into a native Windows executable, after which they could then add in additional features like graphics options. It's basically a port, the same process, more or less, to make those pc versions of Mario 64 and Zelda Ocarina.
Sadly I don't think that's likely. The 50 series are a fucking wash so the 40 series and at least the 3090, maybe the 3080Ti, are retaining value. Anyone with anything from the 4070 up has no reason to upgrade at all, anyone with a 3090 is probably only going to want the 5090 but those are ludicrously expensive. And AMD did a stupid thing where the two cards - 9070 and 9070 XT are only priced $50 or so apart but that extra $50 is worth it cos the XT kicks its ass.
