Massiveterra Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 Is anyone here going? If so, which days? And any specific panels or events you're looking forward too? See you there if you are. I'll post pics or vids when I return from the convention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those benchmarks are rigged anyway. Real world has them performing at the same levels as ATI's cards which is disappointing as we won't see a price drop now. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It comes bundled with a "game" where the user can mess with the physics and amount of particles on the screen. And seeing a bridge explode into millions of textured pieces was damn impressive. Hopefully developers will take full advantage of this technology. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ApuBo Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 Here's a Guru3D bench, with ati on 10.3 driver. (notice nVidia drivers are beta's) /Edit: think im off topic :wacko: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spookie Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 I was looking at the hexus review and saw the benchmarks were worrying low on bad company 2. They have till the end of April to fix it when I buy my new card! Ugh a PS3, second hand 360 and pc upgrades all in 3 months. I hate gaming sometimes my wallet can't handle it! :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Massiveterra Posted March 29, 2010 Author Share Posted March 29, 2010 I was really surprised at the lack of Sony presence there. The only ps3 I saw at the entire convention was used by the Play On team to demonstrate their app. No Move bummed me out. The indie developers were by far the true stars of the show. Twisted Pixel is now one of my favorite developers. Spent some time hanging out with them, all down to earth people. Will be buying Comic Jumper on day one. Other highlights: Mafia II looks fantastic Will be buying Shank on XBLA Dead Space 2 sneak peak was pretty awesome Naughty Dog building a new Uncharted level was cool Red Dead Revolver was pretty cool Starcraft 2 was pretty cool (although I'm not much of an RTS player) Skate 3 was okay The new Prince of Persia was okay The size of shots in Boston were a lot larger than I anticipated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
