I played the first two a lot (and bought the third - which I need to at least give a re-install on the Anniversary Update; I still have all three CDs it came on and all the docs).  Will there be an actual demo of this one, though?

This is 1 of the 4 games that makes this possibly the single best 30 days in releases that I can remember in a very, very long time. Needless to say this is my own personal opinion and based on my personal preferences and tastes in video games. But starting next week, I cannot remember a 30 day period that has so many games I have been very much looking forward to playing.


In case anyone is wondering, in no particular order, the reason I feel this is perhaps the best 30 day period in releases that I can remember is because of:

  1. Uncharted 4 (May 10th)
  2. Doom 4 (May 15th)
  3. Overwatch (May 24th)
  4. Mirror's Edge Catalyst (June 7th) 

It also really helps I finally have a new Gaming PC that I got about 2 weeks ago. A 980Ti GPU combined with a 27" G-Sync enabled 2160 x 1440 resolution monitor really has reinvigorated my love, and preference, for PC gaming. 3 out of the 4 games, including Doom, I will be playing on my new PC, so it also very much feels like I am "back" to PC Gaming while taking a way longer break that I should have.

 

Cannot wait for the 13th. Already Pre-ordered for the PC.

The audio/music is distracting.

Far from it - the music is based on the music from the original Doom of 23 years ago - it's wonderful to hear it again.

 

(Yes, I know Bobby Prince basically ripped off a load of metal songs at the time, but I associate that music with Doom as that's where I heard it first!)

I dusted off my DOOM 3 copy (and yes - it does work on Windows 10); the thing is it's been so long I need to dust off my Game Guide for it (yes - I actually do still have it; trade-sized PRIMA Game Guide typical of its day).

The delay for reviews has me a bit worried, but how can you really fluff up DOOM? I'll probably still wait for the inevitable bargain bin price in ~1 month.

There's really nothing to worry about IMO, the game is great. Worlds better than DOOM 3. It's still early days, so my opinion could change, but I doubt it will. I hope we see a sequel or standalone expansion ala Wolf: The Old Blood, very soon!

    • Qualcomm's new Snapdragon Reality Elite chip brings on-device AI to Android XR devices

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      Qualcomm's new Snapdragon Reality Elite chip brings on-device AI to Android XR devices by Pradeep Viswanathan Qualcomm has been delivering dedicated SoCs for mixed reality and spatial computing devices for several years. The journey started with the Snapdragon XR1, followed by the Snapdragon XR2 in 2019, the Snapdragon XR2 Gen 2 in September 2023, and finally the Snapdragon XR2+ Gen 2 in 2024. Today, Qualcomm announced a major upgrade with the new Snapdragon Reality Elite Platform, which targets premium mixed reality and spatial computing devices. OEMs can use this SoC to power both all-in-one video-see-through headsets and lightweight, tethered optical-see-through glasses. Qualcomm highlighted that the Snapdragon Reality Elite will power the next wave of Android XR devices coming later this year. These wearables will offer better visuals, improved power efficiency, and deeper on-device AI integration compared to the previous generation. The Snapdragon Reality Elite can deliver up to 48 TOPS of AI performance, allowing large language models and large vision models to run directly on the device for the first time. In addition to enabling new spatial AI experiences, these new AI capabilities will improve head and hand tracking, as well as see-through features. On the performance side, the Snapdragon Reality Elite offers up to 60% higher GPU performance, up to 30% higher CPU performance, and up to 160% higher NPU performance compared to the previous generation. The platform supports visuals of up to 4.4K per eye at 90 frames per second for sharper images and smoother motion. Qualcomm is also claiming significant efficiency improvements. The Snapdragon Reality Elite can offer up to 20% longer battery life under the same workload. More importantly, the chipset can run up to 12 degrees Celsius cooler under load, making headsets more comfortable for users to wear for longer periods. The platform also includes improvements to video see-through, featuring lower latency and better image quality. Qualcomm states that its EVA hardware block helps accelerate demanding computer vision workloads, improving how digital content blends with the real world.
    • Report: Microsoft to use AWS to help GitHub deal with a major surge in demand

      By Nas · Posted

      Umm... GitHub continues to use AWS. That's the story, that's the headline. There's no "new" news here. GitHub continues to require additional capacity beyond the originally-planned Azure allocations. There's nothing special about this; nothing noteworthy. They're still using AWS' infra until the cutover is complete.

      Hello, I have used a few TEAM Group SSDs, USB flash drives, and Micro SDXC cards in the past. They all seemed to work fine. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky

      "just $100 per TB"? Just? Are we trying to make this seem like the new normal? Kinda weird to make it sound like that is not a ridiculously expensive asking price.
