  1. So when it says it is releasing March 21, which is a Thursday of all days of the week, does that mean it is unlocking Thursday night at some point or will unlock much earlier in the day?
  2. agreed. And while Im sure it will look better on PC than even the PS5, I doubt it will look like a generational leap. its not like the PS4 or PS5 versions are 4K/60. in general though I like when games have graphics settings designed to humble a GPU. I dont think this game will, but I find it neat. It feels aspirational. Like one day youll be able to revisit this game and play it at its best.
  3. Yep. like I said, Nintendo should just release their library on PC too. The people that use Yuzu either bought a copy for switch and then use Yuzu to play it with better performance and mods, or people who pirated the game and wouldnt pay for it on Switch anyways. Nintendo didn’t lose 1m sales to piracy or whatever they were claiming. If Nintendo offered people a way to play their games on PC, people would pay them for it. Hire these modders to make an emulator of the switch 2, then make the switch 2 able to “dock” to a PC to authenticate and read the game files. Bam! People will buy a Switch 2, buy the game, and likely even pay for the emulator if it’s good and well supported. Would that 100% eliminate piracy? No. But nothing will.
  4. Looks like its a slightly slower GPU, but has 1GB more VRAM in the minimum HFW specs compared to HZD. Interesting.
  5. Isnt F2P and mobile gaming also volatile? I guess the games are often cheaper to make so when they die in year they likely already made back their development in whatever micro transactions.
  6. I liked how they did the settings menu in HZD. Made it easy to optimize. So even if I just get 4k/60 with DLSS3 on very high I am confident I can decide where I want to trade off to find a bitnof extra performance to always stay reasonably above 60fps
  7. Indeed. RDR2 on PC is 150GB. FF VII Rebirth comes in at 145.7GB. Starfield is 139.84GB Sub 100GB AAA games are going to start becoming more and more rare if not disappear entirely within the next couple of years
  8. yeah probably so. A GTX 1650 just sounds very low lol. I too wonder about if that’s with DLSS3. I’m leaning towards no since theres no ray tracing and they have a 3070 on high settings at 1440p getting 60fps. But I guess we will see. DF will definitely let us know. lol I hope the answer is no. Id like DLSS3 get me way above 60 if I decide to turn it on.
  9. Not getting 60fps with anything less than a 3060? Hmm. Though I guess low settings on like a 1080 or 2070 could probably hit 60fps. those minimum specs are interesting. That’s lower than I thought they’d be able to get running the game. and that’s without ray tracing. Which is a shame.
  10. I will say if it’s true and Max does go to Merc that’s it for George Russell’s hope of being a #1 driver there. Jos and Max will not tolerate not being the favored driver in every way. You have a point if Ford pulls out over all the chaos, Red Bull may not be able to find another supplier and wont be anywhere near the front in 2026 and for who knows how long.
  11. Not necessarily if we’re talking # of wins and championships. Is Max a 3 time champion? Yes and he may very well become a 4 time champion after this season. Him going to another team that can’t make a winning car could see him unable or struggle to win anything again. So he never beats Lewis Hamilton’s career GP win number, never even get close to 7 WDCs. That’s the kind if legacy Im talking about. And maybe he doesnt care about those records.
  12. Max is gonna give up a car capable of being unstoppable in winning the WDC? He’d be throwing his F1 legacy away. But maybe he doesnt care about that. Maybe he is more principled than that. This just sounds like a threat from Jos though. It’s not like Jos is the pinnacle of virtue either. Fracturing a person’s skull in a fight, getting him 5 years in prison, and getting caught cheating on his wife. again, I think it’s more any non-Max fan is just hoping, praying, wishing as hard as they can that something will take Max out of that car and make it possible for anyone else to win a race. Even if some of this is true, I imagine it amounts to as much as a child stomping their feet in hope that they get their way. But they’re not really going to run away from home if they dont get their way. Didnt Aston Martin also appeal? This seems like a thing that with or without Ben Sulayem it would have gone Alonso’s way due to precedent. He’s not exactly on the best of terms with FOM, especially after the scandal of calling for an investigation into Toto’s wife and insiders in the FIA leaking information to teams. Which I still believe the only reason every team was united behind Toto was because they ALL have an inside source that leaks them info about investigations and the like. I could see FOM using this as reason to call for Ben Sulayem to step down or be removed. Even doing the tried and true threatening that F1 will pull out of the FIA. Which always seems to work to get the FIA to backdown or make concessions.
  13. Hmm, I dunno about that. I imagine it would have to get pretty bad for Verstappen. Like the car starts to suck and the team tries to focus on Perez or another driver over him. This just sounds like people hopeful that Red Bull will implode to bring them down since no other team seems capable of toppling them or even matching them. Last season it was the whole ‘Horner was going to fire Helmut Marko and Verstappen said if Helmut goes he too leaves’ story line. Im not saying the Red Bull team is completely drama free. I just dont think it’s so cataclysmic to the team dynamic as most want it to be and are drumming up stories like it is.
  14. I guess this means if it’s even remotely playable EA and Bioware executives will push this game out. Whether it’s actually ready or not. It will then get destroyed in the reviews and impressions, sell like shit, and most of Bioware will be laid off with questions on if ME4 is really going to get finished.
  15. and unless the port is almost done an announcement doesnt mean we are getting it soon. We could still be 6-12 months or more out. Especially if the announcement only announces theyve just now started work on it. So it could be a 5-6 year old game by the time it actually comes out on PC. really disappointing it’s taken this long. Though some “leaks” and rumors being what theyve been lately, Im not exactly celebrating it finally coming to PC until there’s an official announcement. It could be coming to PC like Starfield or Halo are showing up on PS5
  16. I assume even if they think they’ll lose they sue because they still have to show an effort to protect their copyright or trademark. If they let it go and somebody else comes along and monetizes an emulator or makes an emulator that actually could affect their business, it could put them on shaky ground. I do wish somebody with a lot more money was behind Bleem! at the time. Imagine if they’d won and then even console based emulators would have been deemed legal so long as you are using a legal copy of the game.
  17. it does make me wonder if they are struggling to optimize for the low end to have it playable by as many PC gamers as possible. Like they dont want to seemingly commit to anything until they know they cant go any lower. lol or maybe they forgot to announce them.
  18. also, it seems Jeremy Clarkson is definitely not a fan of Max. During the grid walk he was asked who he thought would win and he replied “Adrian Newey”. lol just savage
  19. yeah, if there were no dick pics he’d just deny these leaks are authentic. As bad as this makes Horner look it makes Red Bull look even worse for trying to sweep it under the rug.
  20. Yeah, we’ll see about that Perez one. If Perez can finish on the podium comfortably behind Max I think he will be fine. Perez being within 2 tenths or Max only matters if another team/driver is able to even stay in DRS of Max. Good on Perez to get up from 5th to 2nd. Good on Sainz for looking he’s done playing #2 to Leclere. We’ll see if Leclere’s “brake issues” persist next weekend. The biggest thing worrying me was how little action it felt like there was this Bahrain GP vs last year. The grid kind of just spread out and at times felt like they checked out. There was a spot around lap 20 when it looked like nobody was in DRS of anyone else. Red Bull was scary good on tyre life of those softs. And poor Tsudoda. Im not really a Tsunoda fan, but he got screwed.
