Rys did it, it's back online. Nothing to see here, folks. You can continue the "frontpage" jokes normally now.

Oh shuddup, digi! :D We're looking into the issue. The site shall be back as soon as possible. That way, you all will be able to perpetuate the "the site has a frontpage?" joke as business as usual. Update: Rys found out the issue and he's working on it.

Hope for the best, prepare for... I've made this to summarize the situation with AMD stock: 71% of stock value lost in 6 months. Liabilities ain't going nowhere but up. Income and equities going down. A lot of strategic assets already sold (mobile, plants). CPU market getting murkier with...

The RV7x0 architecture has the set of hardware capabilities required to run standardized Compute Shaders equivalent to what can be found in the current DX11 and the latest OGL APIs. Given that the Wii U operate in a closed environment, standard APIs level of requirements are not an issue here...

It's interesting to see that we'll finally see PowerVR products competing again with NV and exATI again in the high end market. The high-end tablet market, that is. And while centering the AMD business around SOCs and Cloud appliances/solutions might be a sound politic at this point in time, I...

It's really like the Althon-era was a fluke for AMD CPUs. These BD benchmark results are some sad stuff. I mean, that Super Pi (1M) result of 11.8 sec with a liquid nitrogen 7.5 GHZ overclocked BD is some reedonkulous matter. http://www.overclockers.com/amd-fx-8150-bulldozer-processor-review...

What I don't understand is why id thought it would be a good idea to rely on specific drivers, full of optimizations, and on yet unimplemented functionalities (swap-tear)? I mean, I understand that JC and co used to work that way back in the days, when their engines were incredibly relevant...

Yeah, it's not the worst game ever. It's just so mediocre and boring that it's an actual waste of time. There are much better games to play, or re-play, out there.

Thanks Evan, for clearing up some misconception about the CUDA implementation. And feel free to emphasize any specific technical point you'd like to. Technical trivia about new engine technologies are always appreciated 'round these parts.

Note that I said Alien FPS. I know about the cool arcade game and the quite decent Alien 3 on Snes/Megadrive. And seriously, don't even think about shelling out a cent, let alone 5 bucks, for the new AVP. I played it for free, guys. For free, and I still resent Rebellion and Sega for the waste...

To be honest, I've never thought highly of the different Alien FPS games we got. The game I disliked the least, I use a double negative here because I never really liked any of these games, would be AVP2. And having recently played a little bit of AVP (2010) from Rebellion, I definitely say...

True, but it would defeat the whole point of having an opening post that describes, albeit sarcastically, the game. And I didn't erase from the board the existing posts. The thing is it's not the reviews that disappointed me, as I said, I didn't even expect the game to be anything special...

warcrow posted his review of Rage in the Console Forum: http://forum.beyond3d.com/showpost.php?p=1586656&postcount=589 You can give it a read on his blog: http://eat-games.blogspot.com/2011/10/rage-reviewed.html

I liked your review, Warcrow. I'm adding it to the links in the PC thread. I'll post a link to your site and not your post, so you can get some clicks for your efforts!

Sorry Sxotty, I tried to copy the relevant post over, but my OP was relegated to the last post because the posts were sorted chronologically. I've added two links to the previous thread in the OP. One to the thread itself and one to the point where the game release-related discussion begun...
