PS3 emulator RPCS3 now supports high resolution rendering

Quoting: GuestVery nice. I hope an Xbox 360 emulator comes along one day.

Like Xenia, it's still too early for any game to run on it though.

Valve makes adjustments to user reviews due to review bombing with 'histogram' charts

Quoting: BeamboomNo. It's a massive difference. Period. If you read serious (commercial) gaming sites witha real editor and run like a serious traditional media house, their reviews holds a standard far, faaaaaar above 98% of absolutely everything you read from amateurs on Steam, Amazon, Metacritic and a gazillion webshops with a "community".

Writing, and reviewing is a craft, just like any other craft. It requires something. Practise. Understanding. Insight. An editor. Directions. Professionalism. A structure, and above all an ability to view something as objectively as can be, and as nuanced as required.

Sure, there's bad apples everywhere, and mistakes are done by everyone. But we gotta get AWAY with the attitude that "anyone can do anything". We live in an age where there seem to be an opinion that anyone can be a news reporter, scientist, journalist, reviewer, we don't need any particular insights at all. No, quite the contrary, even! So they seem to think.

/rant off for now. I'm sure this topic will return again. And again. And... :)

Standard? Professionalism?

Arma 3 has a Linux beta, but I guess it's not official.
EDIT: And in BRONZE there is the Steam Controller which isn't a game :D

Loved it back in the day, didn't know it was a Topware title. I already have it on GOG and Steam, will definitely look into it when it gets released!

Another performance improvement is on the way for AMD users on the radeonsi driver
13 October 2016 at 10:59 am UTC

QuoteSomeone tried the patch? Does it solves the poor performance problem in games like Saints Row III and IV on AMD cards? The games are actually unplayable on my Radeon 7850.

Saints Row III and IV have horrible performance on Windows too so its not VPs fault.
