I got a pre-order in with Target.

For cost saving reasons, it has to be rotated every time to enable backwards compatibility.

After about 15 tries I won the race on Classic difficulty. I hereby swear that I will never play that damned thing again so long as I’m on this earth.

Did this get posted? Good interview by Criterion with a couple of devs on the cinematic influences on the game. https://www.criterion.com/current/posts/7102-all-in-the-game-an-interactive-homage-to-the-samurai-genre

Naughty Dog’s gif game is too strong....(all released for TLOU Day)

Really does look excellent.

By the way, if you want a real world example, Warframe’s new update moves the game over to use the Oodle tech.... Yes, the pictures are identical. That’s the point. 15GB shaved off with no discernible hit to texture quality. Now combine that with a blazing fast I/O architecture that can decompress texture data at 8-9Gbps. When developers wrap their heads around optimizing that, they can start to swap in and out high quality assets in-game at will with minimal stress to the GPU. It’s pretty exciting stuff for all platforms, frankly.

Summarized: It’s an ultra fast method of compressing textures. The ultra fast I/O speed of the PS5’s architecture alongside the dedicated “ Kraken” compression hardware in the PS5 AND the already insane speeds of the SSD, gives the CPU and GPU even less to manage . Thus freeing them up for more interesting things like better AI or even better visuals. It could also lead to smaller game sizes given how good the compression techniques are. Keep in mind that the tech is available for most platforms and the Series X has its own independent hardware compression as well. However, the speed

I recently bought a used 360 S to replace my elite with a faulty disc drive, which came with a Kinect (and a few random games). I bought the Kinect Party full unlock and it was a big hit! It is the perfect game for my daughter. Her favourite game up to this point was probably the Playroom on PS4, but that only offers about 3 “games” for her to play and gets a bit repetitive (for me). Kinect Party is essentially the same type of idea, but with way more variety. Her favourite so far is the lava floor and the fairy forest.

I have a box of stuff i have not listened to yet, but had to try this one first . The stuff you find on the corners of discogs unexpectedly.

7D II went back, by the way - flaky as hell, it would crash after 5-10 minutes of heavy use (high speed shooting, flicking through the review of existing photos, back and forth between live view etc) even with a brand new memory card. Now thinking about whether I bother trying another, save for a brand new 90D or just for whatever Canon do next with RF.
