They should pick up Camelot Games, for their sports franchises. Then bring them up to AAA first-party level. So a Mario Golf with a fully fleshed out Mario Galaxy course (planet-hopping and gravity) , Peach's Castle course, Mario Sunshine, Rainbow Road, Luigi's Mansion, Tiny-Huge-World (where...

Jay wrote: "SF is supported in all DX12U hardware. SFS is custom additions made by MS for XS, features like the custom filter, etc." Yep, I grabbed the wrong tweet initially. I know a Sony engineer had mentioned writing a shader to query which textures are needed, and the sampler can report if...

Twas implied to be hardware specific at one time. (or at least tasks that could be done on cpu, elsewhere) ">"></script> I wonder if it's a feature that's in AMD hardware, but hasn't been uncovered in DX,,

I remember the buzz about Microsoft's offer to Nintendo when some book (Opening the Xbox) mentioned it. I remember it as Nintendo's president thought it was a joke at first, but mulled it over in several meetings. Didn't know they were so dismissive of it though. Found an archive of a writeup...

"organize and retrieve asses..." ^ That's some advanced tech right there...

I suppose if the SSDs can organize and retrieve asses without redundantly writing them into streams, there'd be some games that could share large pool of asset resources.. Especially with things being so dynamic, and not needing to bake so much into the textures. (like ray-tracing, lighting...

Yeah, I figure naming it "Bully" was part of their marketing strategy.. They figured the usual suspects (in the US at least) would jump to the conclusion that it was a bully simulator, (from the makers of GTA, oh no!) and stir up controversy in the media. Then, they could squelch the criticism...

Your character's also not technically a "bully". (although you do have the option to behave like one) He's more or less a character who doesn't allow himself to be the victim of bullying, and readily fights back.. And, as a result, was sent to a "last chance" boarding school, full of other...

Like DSoup mentioned, it's pretty much just taking the GTA formula, and applying it to a boarding school setting. Swap out the guns for slingshots and firecrackers, cars / motorcycles for bikes and skateboards, etc.. It opens up at some point, and you can leave the school campus and wander...

Yeah. They could draw inspiration (and parody) from various movies. (The Fitfth Element, Blade Runner, Back to the Future, Total Recall, etc..) One thing I thought would be interesting, (and good for media buzz) is, assume Mars has been terraformed. (or at least has domed cities) Since we have...

Indeed. Anything announced from Rockstar that's not GTAVI, would get a bit of backlash for not being GTAVI. (I kinda forgot GTAV was a PS3 game..) I liked Bully. Twas a refreshing change of pace.

And the reason was to focus on GTA6. https://screenrant.com/grand-theft-auto-6-reason-bully-2-cancelled/ "Two former Rockstar Games insiders have claimed the studio axed Bully 2 a third time in 2017, all in an effort to focus on the development of Grand Theft Auto VI and Red Dead Redemption 2.

Zed: "If I had a download cap (which I dont have now, but did at my last place) I would be too scared to play this as I'ld prolly blow my limit within a day" Which reminds me of the bandwidth cap Comcast is about to spring on their customers in the US.. Comcast is adding a 1.2TB data cap for...

DX12u should come in 2021. ^Like was said, maybe to coincide with VR. I assume it'll mostly be performance improvements regarding cpu usage, and clear some headroom for optimizing VR. Having DF microscoping the settings with the FPS should be a concern, since 60fps is the new-gen standard, and...

Maybe they'll launch the XBSX variant on DX12U, while the PC is still in final testing. Any performance wins over DX11, (even if it mostly just makes it more competitive) would get highlighted in the inevitable comparison videos. It'd be better PR for their box, in the eyes of the fanboys who...
