Hmm. Perhaps we'd come to a point where these facilities are on all continents to reduce ecological impact, but I guess Apple isn't that green.

So happy for you! I think it's a fine game with great highs, but it is a different game when compared to Skyrim obviously, which makes one wonder how ES6 would be.

Edit: fixed the ?. I was genuinely happy for you

N00b question. Do these chips get transferred from USA to India/Vietnam for assembly and then back again to all over the world for shipping?

Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered Rated for PS5 and PC in c/games@sh.itjust.works

People keep complaining how games are hard to make and timelines are skewed, but Sony has been pumping absolutely bangers with their remasters. We've already seen SpiderMan remastered, uncharted remastered, last of us 1 and 2 remastered, and now horizon and days gone remastered, all in 4 years. I literally can't get enough of these single player games with infinite replayability.

Thank God they lowered the expectations after Starfield.

I mean we could do things like Arkham Knight, Flight Simulator, The Last of Us 2 and so on. Do we really need to do everything realtime or could we continue baking GI?

Christopher Dring: Astro Bot's UK sales (physical-only so far) aren't huge. Opening week is about a third lower than 2021's Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart, but I expect a longer sales tail for Astro... in c/games@sh.itjust.works

Wow it works in two ways. Smart!

Folks at IGN beyond podcast told me you save money by not buying seasonings. Is that what you were planning to buy?

AMD announces unified UDNA GPU architecture — bringing RDNA and CDNA together to take on Nvidia's CUDA ecosystem in c/technology@lemmy.world

Oh I see. So DLSS and especially ray reconstruction uses tensor core, would that be right?

I guess then it may be better to keep expectations low.

When AMD moved on from its GCN microarchitecture back in 2019, the company decided to split its new graphics microarchitecture into two different designs, with RDNA designed to power gaming graphics products for the consumer market while the CDNA architecture was designed specifically to cater to compute-centric AI and HPC workloads in the data center.

I wonder if CDNA will be more akin to Tensor Cores on RTX GPUs, leading to better ray tracing performance of gaming.

Harry Potter ‘Hogwarts Legacy’ Sequel From Warner Bros. Games Is ‘One of the Biggest Priorities,’ WBD CFO Says in c/games@sh.itjust.works

[–] lustyargonian@lemm.ee 4 points 2 months ago

I haven't played the game yet but i wonder if the sequel would have same effect as Hogwarts legacy, given that it is probably the best Harry Potter game in decades. More of same might not be a big global phenomenon maybe.

KCD perhaps? It gave my very Skyrim vibes despite being far from it and mechanically superior in my opinion.
