Hey at least in the meantime I still have Alyx! I haven’t had a PC good enuff to run VR but finally built a racing machine - now I just have to decide which VR headset to get!
I honestly can’t wait to play Alyx. I’ve been chomping at the bit for 5 long years now.
From the trailer… Why is this game being made? And who is it for? It just looks like regular eve but maybe without skill injections. I’ve also never heard of this game before so I guess I’ll see if I can find more info on it.
They keep trying to find new ways to monetize the Eve lore, but no one plays Eve for the lore. And the people who are into Eve’s unique kind of economy-battle simulator don’t seem like they’re particularly interested in first-person-view type alternatives. I suspect it will dribble about for a while, then go the way of Dust 514 and Valkyrie.
What’s it like these days? I sometimes miss the heyday of like 2011-2014 EVE, but I stopped keeping track of what was going on some time after quitting. I also kind of lost faith in the direction it was going and what CCP was doing.
As someone who’s been around the block, is it in a good state now?
Depends what you are looking for. If you enjoyed capital warfare, no. They are expensive now. If you like big tidi fests, sure. What were you doing/enjoying back then?
To be honest, I was flying with a specific group of people and when the main FC/corp leader quit I sort of just quit too. So I’m not sure I’d come back regardless, unless he miraculously comes back. But it’s been like 8 years now. Also, EVE consumes your whole life and it’s kind of nice to have time to play other games.
I was doing primarily small gang warfare, as well as some Blops dropping. And bombing runs whenever the opportunity presented itself. For income I was stocking the market of our home station, which I really enjoyed doing.
It’s a very lazy product created by a team without the skill to make something like Star Citizen. If they ever tried, they would be over a decade behind along with everyone else in the industry.
If they ever actually finish the fucking thing, or provide even half of the features they promised. Honestly fuck SC, why would you wanna support a business model like this, do you want everyone to follow this strategy?
Doing the best they can with the resources they have instead of charging the most while giving the least?
SC is the highest crowdfunded game of all time (by a lot), people have donated over 170 million! Even after 14 years of development they still aren’t done.
I look forward to you people never admitting you’re wrong even when you’re playing the game and having a good time.
I look forward to people finally admitting they were duped.
They fumbled the marketing for frontier so bad. There were always comments asking what the game is even about. They explained it so badly people assumed it’s vaporware. Barely anyone was streaming/viewing it on launch.
Nvidia doesn’t really care about the high-end gamer demographic nearly as much as they used to, because it’s no longer their bread and butter. Nvidia’s cash cow at this point is supplying hardware for ML data centers. It’s an order of magnitude more lucrative than serving consumer + enthusiast market.
So my next card is probably gonna be an RX 9070XT.
80 CUs is 7900xt, 4080 level. Would be surprising in APU.
I just got a 7840hs mini pc with 780m igpu, and oculink for future. Very happy with it as I can play beyond all reason in 1200p high settings compared to 1650s that did 1080p in low settings. 60 fps with amd chill, and mostly under 80C, with few peaks around 85C.
The 890m, AI370 are $700usd more, and under 25% improved gpu. 2x or 3x the 890m gpu performance can be acquired for $700 oculink solution.
80CU APU, is going to be priced higher than AI 395’s 40 CU APU, which is already priced shockingly high. The next Xbox being a full PC can justify pricing, but usual gaming console pricing model is break even based on selling locked in games (razor blades) at high prices. 395 use case has mostly been to have a very large ram LLM at relatively slow speed. APUs for relatively portable mini pc mid range GPU tasks with external GPU enhancement for “desktop scenario” seems like a sweet spot, or laptop with mobile gpu for more combined portable performance per $, seems like it would always have an edge over “bleeding edge APU” for most people.
