Intel and Nvidia announce new 11th-gen laptop CPUs and RTX GPUs

Matt_B

I would consider getting another gaming capable laptop if I knew that I could under volt the cpu. I lost that ability on my current laptop with bios updates. I took a break from gaming a while back and I wasn't keeping up with any news. So I didn't see anything about the plundervolt exploit. My bios patched out the ability to undervolt and I'm unable to roll back. I lost a nice temp saving and gained a bunch more fan noise.

Outriders is a third-person cover shooter you really shouldn't play as a third-person cover shooter

Matt_B

Fair enough. I wrongly assumed that an assessment of core fundamentals in a established genre, wouldn't result in polar opposite opinions at EG. I had thought that controls either good or bad + jank would be less of a matter of opinion. I'll fire it up and see if I'm transported back to 2013.

Looking for the heart of Halo in Bungie's finest moment

I remember Haze being announced as a game that would be better than Halo with its four player co-op. I might be wrong but I seem to remember that Halo 3 had two player co-op announced and then they made it four player in response to all the Haze hype.

@Euronymous - Perfect, limited it to 100 cars and each car comes with a free Premium Edition of the game + an exclusive download so you can actually drive your exact car in game! This should easily fill a 10 min segment.

Ubi titles were always tearing on the PS3/360, when other developers managed to minimise it and or have none. I can imagine the next few years there will be plenty of sub 30fps games from them.

I loved the open world setting of FC2. This isn't going to be open world with the ability to approach each situation as you please. FC3 looks to be focused and scripted - that's a shame.

Also developers please stop throwing points up on the screen for kills.

@ISmoke - likewise, I dread to think how many games of TH I played on Vegas 1 - I remember that there would always be one terrorist left and everyone had their own tactic to make him spawn or come to you. Tense times - especially if your team mates are dead. Looking forward to some more news on this.

Initial reaction - I would of liked to have seen Kaos stick with the near future setting that they had with Frontlines Fuels of War. I enjoyed Frontlines so I'm looking forward to seeing what they bring to the table. I just hope there is some cool tech to play around with in Homefront. I miss the Frontlines chopper & jets (even though I couldn't fly jets)

Is it a prerequisite that everybody goes FULLY AUTOMATIC in MOH? I might have got the wrong end of the stick, but I thought the PR guys were selling this as the authentic/serious alternative to COD ... Anyway, looks like the US really takes it to Taliban. Appears to be a fun game if you're the good guys. Everyone knows that Taliban's are uneducated and stupid (that's the authentic PR part) Dice made sure that aim down slight is disabled and once a round the whole team is teleported in front of a US mounted machine gun. Therefore ensuring that every US solider can get loads of kills and commendations. They love their medals.

I wonder if it'll fit in with the main story line (any scenes missing from the book?) or will it be completely separate story. Either way it'll have to be fairly substantial, otherwise it's a no buy for me.

The equivalent racing game issue would be… we’ve noticed that the steering doesn’t work on certain tracks. Last time played an FPS shooting and killing was the core mechanic. I might add that this bug has f'ked me on numerous occasions whilst playing hardcore and I’m still on my first play through.

I'll reserve judgement until I see it in action, but my gut feeling say's that dual wielding isn't a good thing. On a side note - I can't wait to see the kidz with modded controllers empty two desert eagle clips into my face within 0.5secs.

It would be rap music.

You have strong views on rap music, so much so that you are willing to not purchase a potential GOTY becuase of .50 minor involvement. I was untrigued by this and assumed that someone with such strong views would want to abstain from all media involved in promoting this subject matter (including GTA). I also figure that on GTA you don't listen to the The Beat 102.7

Schnide - From a UK standpoint, I would argue that listening to aggressive rap music is another form of escapism. Like any other form of entertainment a person could a take their interest to an unhealthy level. The type of media and its involvement society, in particular the way that it influences a person’s behaviours and values is far too big for a comments thread.

Assuming that .50 will just be a voice in COD:MW2 - the enjoyment that you should get from playing spec-ops with a friend will dwarf any ill feelings that you have towards .50 telling you to “Reload”.

Let’s get his involvement into perspective.
