long story short since 2 dlc is not really mentioned, ER did a big boost in profits for Kadokawa (parent co of Fromsoft) so more investment of ED, ED dlc, Armored Core, and other pipelines

Also I really would not exempt Nintendo and their terrible "we sell you a 20 yr old game with only the most minor of improvements as a remake for full price on our 'current' gen console" releases from any of that.
Also Pokemon
People just look past all of Nintendo's bs because of the brands and the largely unchanged since 20 yrs core gameplay

Project Q doesn't even do that

pretty sure they haven’t announced anything about that yet

Imagine buying PS5 and an extra Project Q handheld device

pretty sure they haven’t announced anything about that yet
They just announced it instead they could have waited and announce it when the product reached it's final stage
Or maybe they wanna hear what the fans think about the idea of how the console works
minor bolt
yeah it was a quick 30s footnote at the end of the showcase, they’ve barely said anything about it, let alone “it can’t stream from cloud”
dry gale
With this amount of backlash they will surely try to alter something with it and they will add cloud streaming option maybe
I can sense Xbox will also make something similar to compete
minor bolt
there was a rumour about a chromecast kinda thing they’ve been working on

I'm not spec expert but i'm here for moral support
Lollll
tight condor
The good thing about pc gaming is that most components are getting not that overpriced
Except gpus of course
slate thorn
Gpu's are actually at a pretty decent price atm
tight condor
For some reason i dont feel like accepting it, its like, how a rx6600 is just a gtx1070 level of performance
slate thorn
Or well, amd's 6000 series is absolutely wild atm with it's pricing
tight condor
After 7 years
slate thorn
6600 is equal to a 3060
tight condor
Well, gtx1080
tight condor
yeah, in that regard amd is doing nice with midrange prices
Which nvidia is just super greedy
slate thorn
Even their high end stuff is super great with price now
tight condor
Inflagships tho they lack the "special" features the competition have
slate thorn
Like, the 6950 XT is $630
tight condor
Its like their 6000 series killing their 7000 series
slate thorn
After how much the price has dropped on the 6000 series
It is
Which is so silly lmao
But yeah, with the current 6000 pricing. There is no point in going 7000 or nvidia
tight condor
For nvidia only the most enthusiast rtx4090 is worth (if you need that)
slate thorn
Closest from nvidia in performance to the 6950 xt is the 4070 ti, the cheapest of which is $800 atm, like, $630 for the 6950 xt then sounds a lot more appealing really
And even then, the faster 7900 xt is $780, so not much reason for the 4070 ti atm
Unless you just really dont want amd ofc
tight condor
Those who need cuda cores i guess
placid otter
many jobs require people to have 4090s, but yeah. i wont recommend higher than xx70ti at most for gaming
placid otter

Something about the artstyle bugs me this time around with SF6, idk
Can't quite put a finger on what exactly though
glass knot
The mix of realistic rendering with cartoony proportions might feel weird to some people i guess
i don't mind it
really like what they did with it
don't like the UI as much tho
neon scroll
I guess I just prefer the less comic style of a Tekken or even MK
celest haven
Something about the artstyle bugs me this time around with SF6, idk
The art direction itself is great i'd say, but the lighting looks very bad
Especially compared to other RE engine games
glass knot
lighting is a bit weird yeah
it tries to make sure everything is very visible since it's a fighting game so having natural lighting is a nono
but i think it looks really good for what it's trying to do
I think the lighting looks better than Tekken 8 tho, depending on the stage t8 throws me off a lot but i guess they're still working on it

Watching the Tekken character trailer makes me remember the good ol' days. One of my pals could actually pull off the full King combo back on T2/T3 and TTT which, I assure you, is not easy to do

Don't like how lighting looks on both these stages
And a different one where it's a construction
The one that's like, a city center and shit looks great tho

celest haven
Oh man i get it now.
The lighting on the characters still looks atleast a bit better to me than SF6 but OOOF
That looks fucking rough
First one especially
glass knot
To me it gives off that UE store asset vibe where everything is kinda flat and bland
celest haven
I think it's a mix of the lighting falling flat in the colors and the environment just not being all too interestingly designed

LOL exactly
glass knot
but tekken stages generally are very open like that since it's a 3d game so i get it
celest haven
Warmer key light would've made the first arena much more interesting i reckon, sunset / sunrise type lighting
I'd love to try my hand at that when the game releases
Ripping models and cooking with them is always fun

according to this interview the trailers don't do it justice

according to this interview the trailers don't do it justice
I seen people say the game looks better in person yea
But seems to be mostly because of the effects being very punchy and they look amazing because no video compression
On the 500 billion particles
Which yeah fair
I'm sure the game looks great
neon scroll
You know, it is kinda funny that SF6 seems to have a better character creator than most AAA titles out there
lmao
Amazing
smoky imp
Angry x surprised for me
I still need to check if that game works on my laptop but prob not 
neon scroll
I really like that it also highlights exactly which area you're working on, which is actually such a simple but incredible useful thing to have for all those super specific options
Normally you just change something and desperately turn and zoom your character to see if it does anything
smoky imp

Yeah don't worry about it, should run very smoothly

some advertisements wouldn't be allowed anymore yeah

games done quick cant be too happy about this
then again this event had a huge decline in viewership which i think might have something to do with people just not using twitch anymore. so maybe this is the push they need to go to a platform that doesnt insert tons of ads during a live event
