    PC Failed to power on

    Yeah I've checked the CPU power as well. I don't think its overheating, because when I get into BIOS or the desktop the temps are fine. So I got home today and its having a similar problem now. If I leave it unplugged for a few minutes I can get a minute of it working, but then it turns back...

    PC Failed to power on

    PSU: SeaSonic SSR-650RM Motherboard: Asus Z87-PLUS Built this new rig in January of this year. Been running like a champ. Came home the other day from work to find my PC was off (I leave it on pretty much 24/7). Press the power button, power light blinks and goes out, blinks and goes out...

    WTS: Titanfall pre-order Origin Key - $45

    Purchased through Direct2Play. I've plugged the Key into Origin and confirmed it will register as the standard copy you get from Origin. So it's not a "Russian key" or anything weird.

    WTS: Titanfall pre-order Origin Key - $45

    EDIT: SOLD I have an extra pre-order key for Titanfall on Origin I need to sell. I originally pre-ordered from a Direct2Play but decided to buy it direct from Origin after the fact. I've plugged the key into Origin (didn't complete the claim, obviously) and confirmed it's a standard language...

    [New Build] Been gone awhile, just ordered parts for my new rig

    It's been six years since I built the bones of the rig in my sig. After seeing a deal pop up on this CPU, I just had to go ahead and build out a new system. I think I did well: PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant / Benchmarks CPU: Intel Core i7-4770K 3.5GHz Quad-Core...

    Yeah, with an 8 second countdown to hijack your click. This is some serious BS.

    The War Z - Zombie Survival MMO

    Valve is calling the release of War Z (in it's current state) on Steam a "mistake" http://kotaku.com/5969836/the-war-z-removed-from-steam

    The War Z - Zombie Survival MMO

    Yes, it's glaringly obvious that Hammerpoint saw how well DayZ was doing, and did a quick mod of their own game to shamelessly capitalize on the trend. Pretty sickening.

    Hotline Miami

    Interview with the developers I like that they confirmed Drive was a big inspiration.

    Gaben confirms Source 2 engine

    Yes, there is a fine line between realistic and fun. What Sixthsense was complaining about with item pickup has nothing to do with the engine, but game design.

    Yeah dynamic lighting in the later versions of Source always felt pretty fakey to me. I'd hope Valve realize this and go with a whole new lighting model.

    Gaben confirms Source 2 engine

    Chances are they didn't really "start from scratch" with Source 2. Game engine evolution is typically built on top of existing engines with significant improvements. All the updates we've seen for Source over the past 8 years have been smaller, incremental improvements. Source 2 will still be...

    Gaben confirms Source 2 engine

    I've been providing historical information in context with the discussion at hand. Perhaps you should go back and try reading? Valve aren't exclusively PC gaming devs. And this thread isn't just about PC gaming. That is why I posted here and not the PC Gaming subforum. Entirely possible. But...

    Gaben confirms Source 2 engine

    I assume you're reffering to the "leaked" info on the PS4 devkits, which have AMD’s A10 APU's? Pretty sure those will have dedicated graphics as well.

    Gaben confirms Source 2 engine

    No, I'm saying your post was a rambling incoherent mess. Fact is, in the real world consoles have a bigger market than PC gaming. Does that mean PC is dead or dieing? Of course not. But any developer who wants to make money is going to put a lot of focus on consoles. From what I gather your...

    Gaben confirms Source 2 engine

    $1k off the shelf might turn out to be more realistic in the end. Entirely possible. But I was more thinking an average $1k custom build: i5-2500k, GTX 660 Ti type stuff.

    Gaben confirms Source 2 engine

    I'm not saying the actual console hardware will cost the manufacture $700 or whatever. I'm saying if you take a gaming PC worth $700 to $1k, thats the equivalent you'll get with the next-gen consoles. Consoles don't require the same level of hardware a PC does to output an equivalent level of...

    Gaben confirms Source 2 engine

    I see 1080p still being the standard resolution on next-gen consoles for sure, because thats standard TV resolution. But resolution is only one small piece of the graphical equation. I'm more talking about poly counts, shaders, shadows, view distance, particle effects, physics, etc, etc, etc...

    Gaben confirms Source 2 engine

    What are you talking about? I'm saying that if you take the level of graphical fidelity that a $1k gaming PC can output, thats what you'll see in the next gen consoles.
  23. WhiteZero

    Gaben confirms Source 2 engine

    Ok, maybe not TOP of the line PC. But I'd still bet they'll be equal to a $1k system graphics wise.

    Gaben confirms Source 2 engine

    Why the doubt? Next-Gen consoles, historically, always leap-frog PC graphics at release. Obviously PC gets the lead again shortly after.

    Gaben confirms Source 2 engine

    Being still in development, you could assume it's being aimed at next gen consoles, if anything. The next Xbox and Playstation are going to be able to pump out graphics that the highest end PC can do today, if not better.

    Gaben confirms Source 2 engine

    Says who? I'm sure they'll make it scalable to all the different platforms. Any good engine does that. The only time a weak system would be limiting is the game itself, with it's art assets, poly count, view distance, etc.

    Gaben confirms Source 2 engine

    Why wouldn't it? If it's still in development, it's pretty easy to see Source 2 being better than anything else out currently.

    Gaben confirms Source 2 engine

    I don't see how thats relevant. They are working on a new engine. Not just an update to Source. Last time they did this it was a move from GoldSRC to Source; that was a monumental improvement and showed up almost every other engine out there graphically and usability wise. I'm guessing Source...

    Hotline Miami

    Apparently this is a pretty fantastic top-down, retro-ish, shoot-em-up. Gameplay video The live action Launch Trailer has a very Drive movie feel. Though I'm pretty sure there are no live-action cut scenes in the game, but it gives you a kind of feel for it. Buy at Steam or GOG EuroGamer gave...
