Luigi was just on the cusp of becoming cool thanks to the MK8 death stare. They had to rectify that so gave his Amiibo a stupid pose.

I believe it's Luigi's going into a pipe pose.

That is Luigi's Planking Taunt.

Driveclub getting demolished, these PS4 exclusives are terrible.

At least I get a free version.

I'm glad I have an Xbox One. Nyaa

Why? They both have terrible exclusives. The only console with good exclusives is the one that has nothing but exclusives. lmao

So, it seems that the CPU is a bottleneck for PS4 and XB1

Along with Ubisoft's statement about the resolution and framerate of Assassin's Creed Unity, there was a quote about the CPU used in next gen consoles. Here it is:

Technically we're CPU-bound," he said. "The GPUs are really powerful, obviously the graphics look pretty good, but it's the CPU [that] has to process the AI, the number of NPCs we have on screen, all these systems running in parallel.



"We were quickly bottlenecked by that and it was a bit frustrating, because we thought that this was going to be a tenfold improvement over everything AI-wise, and we realised it was going to be pretty hard. It's not the number of polygons that affect the framerate. We could be running at 100fps if it was just graphics, but because of AI, we're still limited to 30 frames per second."

AI is the one area of gaming that I would really like to see improve a lot. It's too bad game companies have to adhere to the "graphics first" mantra instead.  I often wonder just how much better the AI in The Sims 4 or SimCity could have been if Maxis didn't have to keep their PC requirements so low due to them being a casual games.

Of course. This is what happens when you fly infected people around the world. Captain Toad gets delayed.

Regarding Foolz review of The Vanishing of Ethan Carter. I thought a four was more befitting your comments on the podcast.

Your score matches up with your written review nicely though.  And a good written review it is, one of the most even handed nad best described ones I have read in a while (not just yours but in general).

The problem with most reviews(from other writers) is the see-saw nature of them, 'While I liked this, I did not like that" and you have uniformly avoided that in your reviews.

Foolz..aka thevgpress.com.

4/10 or 4/5?

4/5
