A place I can share my thoughts on old/new games and the odd bit of tech.
Sometimes injected with a healthy dose of sarcasm for those who like things a little less serious.
Like + share my articles if you please. Or don't. I'm not your father. XD
This page is managed by Allan Walsh from Scotland.
I've been following Exodus since the beginning. They call me a 'Founder' because I signed up for the emails immediately.
I have the limited edition book on order so I can read more of the lore, and if I like it I'll look at the material it is all based on.
Coming from some ex developers of the MAss Effect series, I can honestly say I'm very excited for this.

Ouch! S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 final specs announced. Not only will you need a beefy machine for 2k and 4k, you'll need to free up 160GB on your SSD. All specs say SSD as opposed to HDD, so that could be a requirement rather than a recomendation.
I'll be playing at 2k, so my PC will run it fine, thankfully.
Not long now until the release! I'm not going to have many days off in the next month, so I'll need to squeeze my playing time in when I can.

I'm going to pre-order it on the 18th. I have been waiting for this to release.

Heh, I'd be ok to run it at medium settings anyways. And my SingularityBeast can pull that off no problems still. But dang 160gb storage needed is a tad much lol
Wondering why the target FPS is 60+ only at 4K though... surely it'd be possible to run it at 75fps@1080p

If you didn't play The Thing when it first came out, I can tell you it was much better than I expected it to be. A remaster, while not as good as a full remake, is still a great way to enjoy this golden oldie and get some cool horror vibes based on the movie.

The graphics don't appear all that impressive for a modern remaster, but in a way I do feel trying to modernise too much takes away the character of a game a lot of the time.
I don't know the original, so I can't comment on a comparison, but this feel more fitting for a game remaster over a remake which tends to have a lot more creative freedom, not always a good thing for fans nostalgic for the original.
A video about Ray Tracing said that Witcher 3 getting Ray Tracing much later meant that the original… See More
rasterised graphics fitted better given the resolution of the assets.
A view I have on Ray Tracing and the overall trend towards "realism", is that realism or accuracy doe snot always lend itself to the gaming experience, perhaps in part due to my eyesight, but I find fancy graphics tend to hurt readability, legibility of the game more than improving the experience.
An observation from me, as I said unfamiliar with the original, is that this seems to be in around the right place for that.

It certain looks a good size, but these things have never really drawn my interest. If anyone has been to something like this, could they comment on the good and the bad of going to this sort of thing?

Been to a small one, though it was really just a handful of tables with stores and felt like virtually nobody had a costume except those who were organised to be there.
Bought some items as gifts for family, which proved to be a waste for various reasons.
I can't comment on bigger regular events.

I always thought that there were many countries around the globe that ban games on a daily basis. Why is this one more worthy of news? Just because it's a bigger franchise? Meh.

Games and movies are banned in the Middle East for the silliest reasons. I remember Spiderman: Into the Spider-verse being banned a week before its release because censors found a split-second moment in the movie where a pride flag is displayed on Miles's bedroom wall.

Slow news day maybe, so they need something to get clicks and ad revenue.
Otherwise they would need to Kuwait for something more interesting to come along.

Nice graphics. I love playing Andromeda! It has that sort of feel.
