Annoyed Gamer E3: How the Mighty Have Fallen


Recommended Posts

Here is an idea. Why don't we talk about games?

 

Gamers Hangout has recently become rant after rant. I do see the Irony in that sentence too :laugh:

I tried!  I got a few threads off!  I'm even trying not to enter every PS4 thread I see since it's basically just trolling the fans sometimes.

Actually I didn't frequent there much but from what I saw once, they had to expunge the forums there due to flame wars or something.. I don't remember exactly.

We do. This is just release time and the apologists all have their claws out.

LOL @ kid kicking and cosplay disses. (I freakin' hate cosplay)

 

I keep reading people talking about Titanfall and how it's "exclusive" to XB1 and it's going to be a console seller...

 

It's a new IP, will release after XB1 launch (and after CoD, BF4,)  and it is on PC... So, um... I don't get it.

 

 

Battlefront was the only nice surprise from E3 for me. It was a pretty boring conference overall. Sony didn't do great, they just did great in comparison to MS. Still boring overall.

 

 

Did Nintendo go commit quiet suicide in the back shack and no one even noticed? Hand Zelda over to the Dark Souls team already...

On another note entirely I sold off my 360 a long while ago, but I just ordered a new one.

:huh:

whoops

 

Just for Kinect games and Crackdown while I wait for the new stuff really

nevermind, cancelled that

For consoles it is.  So not quite exclusive but without a PS4 version it might as well be considered it.

What a tedious and hyperbolic rant. There were some legitimate points made but they were few and far between. The worst part was when he tried to turn Microsoft's DRM into a snub against the military. You can be a fan of gaming without being so overtly biased.

    • I hope this encodes in to AV1 or AV2 as currently tiktok uses h265 and h264.
    • Qualcomm reportedly in talks to build custom video chips for TikTok parent ByteDance by Karthik Mudaliar Qualcomm is reportedly in advanced discussions to provide custom chip-design services to Chinese tech giant ByteDance, the same company behind TikTok. According to a report from Reuters, Qualcomm could be involved in designing custom silicon tailored for ByteDance's massive data-center workloads. If it goes through, the deal would make ByteDance one of Qualcomm's early anchor customers for its fastly growing custom chip-design division, For years, Qualcomm was the king of making smartphone processors and modems. The company has also been moving into the PC ecosystem and other formats such as on-device AI for Android XR headsets. However, this particular deal is about Qualcomm's custom Application-Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs). For a platform like TikTok, ByteDance needs hardware that can help it ingest, process, and serve billions of short-form videos daily. Generalised hardware is no longer the most cost-effective and efficient route, which is why ByteDance is trying to develop custom Video Processing Units (VPUs). VPUs designed specifically for ByteDance’s algorithmic needs could drastically reduce data-center power consumption and improve encoding speeds at an unprecedented scale. The underlying tech behind these processors is actually from Qualcomm's recent acquisition of AlphaWave Semi, a high-speed connectivity specialist company. By combining AlphaWave’s high-bandwidth IP with Qualcomm’s architectural expertise, the company could begin mass production by the end of 2026, if the talks go through. All this also comes at a time when U.S.-China tech relations have dwindled. Escalating trade frictions between Washington and Beijing have severely impacted the export of high-end AI chips from U.S. firms like Nvidia, AMD, and Lam Research. Yet, the Qualcomm-ByteDance discussions show that U.S. tech companies are still actively seeking growth avenues and are open to doing business with China, where regulators still permit. Reuters notes that the outcome of this deal could be uncertain, and ByteDance might also seek partners other than Qualcomm. via Reuters | Image via DepositPhotos.com
