Episode 434: Windows Issues

This week’s episode was delayed due to serious Windows issues this past week. The episode was saved, however, and is 90 minutes full of discussion. The podcast deals with a lot of console hardware rumors.

The news items include:

  • Rumor: PS4 Neo being unveiled in early September
  • Nintendo NX launch and spec details leak
  • Before you play Dishonored 2, you should finish the first game’s DLC says Arkane

All this and Listener Feedback.

  1. I liked the auction house in Diablo 3 because it allowed for more gear homogenization; if my character got an item that did not help that specific class as much as another item, I could possibly auction that loot and buy a better suited one.

    The 6 TFLOPS available on Scorpio make it comparable to an overclocked RX 480, so it might be capable of running Doom without dynamic resolution scaling, and consoles use low-level APIs similar to Vulkan, but we don’t know the CPU specifications.

    Thank you for mentioning me!

  • podcast-200x200Halo: ODST Reviews are in
  • Turbine working on an MMO for the console
  • Price Cuts boost sales, initially, but not over the long term
  • Infinity Ward Responds to Gearbox … sort of
  • Red Octane considering Natal controls

This week’s question of the week, can big companies still innovate with new games?
