Reply to Gearbox Announces Homeworld, Homeworld 2 HD Remakes ***Feb 25,2015*** in PC Gaming Elemental Forums

[quote who="Chibiabos" reply="35" id="3521588"] I wonder if they'll make a Homeworld 3, and make it using Mantle ... now that would rock (presuming they stayed true to the spirit). I heard some Ironclad guys try to market SoaSE as 'the new Homeworld' but it just wasn't. Homeworld still has a bigger sense of scale, even if Sins has a similar relative scale, I think its the way units were controlled from their own perspective, and that there was no perfect rock/

Reply to new build in PC Gaming Elemental Forums

http://choosemypc.net/ is a good starting point for parts. Since it's a gaming PC, you'll want to spend a lot of time thinking about which GPU you want. I recommend looking at http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/gaming-graphics-card-review,3107.html they do a monthly "best for the money" overview of GPUs. <a href="https

[quote who="RedneckDude" reply="21" id="3517451"] Free at last: After Windows 10, consumers won't pay for updates or upgrades [/quote] Great. Now I'm starting to have concerns about how forceful they'll try to be with windows market integration. There was a rumor a couple of years back that it was going to be mandatory for all software. #cheapcynicism On the other hand, this probably pushes DX12 about a decade forward. <

Reply to AI coding as a platform in GalCiv III Dev Journals Elemental Forums

I guess all those searches for closest viable target explains why the AI empires often end up looking like circles. All I need is to head for the middle of the ring to find their starting location, and by extension their best planets.

Reply to DirectX 11 vs. DirectX 12 oversimplified in PC Gaming Elemental Forums

I'm the kind of guy that tends to turn off shadows because they look so bad. Like, when WoW introduced shadows back in the Arthas expansion I thought it was awesome until I realized my massive lightexplosive starfire spells don't do anything to it. Shadows worked better in skyrim though, because your effects are usually between your viewport and whatever's behind it. So two big questions: first, what does this mean for multicore GPUs? And I don't mean "every GP

[quote who="Jafo" reply="25" id="3515848"] Um....I AM in an Australian city .... the second biggest...and can WALK to the CBD [city center] in about 30 minutes... Not talking about the Outback...where you can be 500 miles from the nearest traffic light... [/quote] But if you're in a city I don't think the argument about population density makes much sense. I mean yeah, Sweden is relatively small but capita per square km would still be a thousand times high

Reply to SK Graphic Style in Sorcerer King Elemental Forums

FE:LH felt more gritty, SK feels more cartoonish. It's not really it's own style, I think - too much Warcraft 3. And I'll forever miss equipping a weapon in FE:LH and actually seeing the weapon.

Reply to So, did the games of 2014 live up to your expectations? in PC Gaming Elemental Forums

Some of the best games I ever played were released: AoW3, DA:I, Endless legend. Some good surprises also, Hand of Fate, Dungeon of the Endless, WoW: Warlords of Draenor. It seems like early access is getting more early and less access . I'm not sure how I feel about that. Games like Planetary Annihilation, The Long Dark, Stonehearth, Mordheim: City of the Damned, Galciv3, Sunless Sea sell for full price what I would consider pre-alpha. I'm real
