  1. I don't think you can make that inference from that article. I suspect it will have a variety of modes for different games, just like DLSS or FSR.
  2. NFL teams know the best way to draft, so why aren't they doing it? T.CO Only a few teams are curious enough to think differently, and even fewer are disciplined enough to act differently.
  3. Sony’s PS5 Pro is real and developers are getting ready for it - The Verge WWW.THEVERGE.COM Sony is pushing developers to focus on ray tracing.
  4. Sony Takes Down PS5 Pro Video From Known Tech YouTuber Moore's Law is Dead WCCFTECH.COM Sony Interactive Entertainment has taken down a PS5 Pro video from last month from known Tech YouTuber 'Moore's Law is Dead'.
  5. Ubisoft has been using the term Season Pass consistently on almost all their big releases since 2015. They have frequently had missions or other content locked behind preorders or premium versions. Usually, these become buyable with "Ubisoft points" after a couple of months (the points you earn from in game achievements). In the past, the missions are superfluous to the game -- the equivalent of a minor side mission, with rewards that are nothing special. Ubisoft is also known for adding tons of post-launch content for free in their games to keep you engaged, in addition to the paid DLC. The "Wrath of the Druids" and "Siege of Paris" DLC from AC: Valhalla were both well worth playing -- and while I wouldn't pay full price for them, they were included in the Gold version I bought for 30-40% off on Black Friday, I would expect similar things with SW: Outlaws.
  6. It's mostly the interns at IGN rage farming for clicks. They wrote this a few days ago: Star Wars Outlaws’ Expensive Gold and Ultimate Editions, With Their Season Passes and Early Access, Spark Debate - IGN WWW.IGN.COM Ubisoft has sparked a debate after announcing Star Wars Outlaws’ expensive gold and ultimate editions, which offer early access and a season pass. Ubisoft has called them season passes for almost 10 years (I think AC Syndicate may have been the first game), so it's bizarre that the world's biggest game site couldn't figure it out.
  7. It will be like every other Ubisoft game. You can get all the content for $20/month if you sign up for their subscription, then cancel. Or, if you're willing to wait 3-4 months and buy the Gold Edition for 40% off. Ubi's single player DLC has been pretty good for the past couple of years. In the end, it's probably like 15 minutes of content, that's normally nothing special, in a 30+ hour game.
  8. Having missions locked behind pre-orders and/or having to buy premium editions is nothing new.
  9. The value the developer gets from making a great game, is I'm significantly more likely to buy the next one (or perhaps even DLC). AND, I recommend the current one to friends, so it sells more.
  10. The towers are such a SMALL part of what you spend your time doing in these games. They're really only there to force you to visit an area, and physically do something to reveal the map.
  11. Fernando Alonso to stay at Aston Martin until 2026 - ESPN WWW.ESPN.CO.UK Fernando Alonso has pledged his Formula One future to Aston Martin with a new multi-year deal, the team announced on Thursday.
  12. Excited to see it. Not sure how TMNT, which are almost 100% guaranteed to be CGI is "live action".
  13. It's a smash up of a grilled cheese and french toast. You make a Turkey and/or Ham and cheese sandwich, dip the bread in an egg mixture like it was french toast, and then fry it up. Monte Cristo sandwich - Wikipedia EN.WIKIPEDIA.ORG
  14. I haven't had a PB&J since middle school. Yesterday I did have a Monte Cristo Sandwich, and I used Blueberry jam.
  15. Hilary Cass: Weak evidence letting down children over gender care WWW.BBC.COM A landmark report says "toxicity" of debate is hampering medical research into gender services. https://cass.independent-review.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/CassReview_Final.pdf If she is right about one thing, it is about the toxicity on almost any discussion of the data. Both Far-Right and Far-Left activists quickly turn any discussion into culture warriors clashes that IMHO quickly devolve into ad hominem attacks.
