Lol. I live in Northridge, pretty close to you. I've been to the Best Buy you're talking about too (had to go because the Best Buy in Northridge was out of stock on the TV I wanted.)
Yeah, I'm really disappointed in their lack of respect for us. They know how hypersensative their fans are right now, atleast make an annoucement about HL2 status, the benchmark, ANYTHING for God's sake.
That's what Gabe says, but what do you expect him to say if it were true? 'We delayed the game cuz Nvidia sucks and paid us off to wait.' I think not.
I started a thread about this conspiracy theory, which you might or might not have read, but it shows my reasoning on the issue.
Keep in...
Re: Re: New Nvidia NV38 GPU coming soon!
You could be right, if the new Nvidia cards are only a small upgrade (similar to 9800XT v. 9800PRO). However, I think Nvidia has know for a long time now that the FX line was fk'd for DX9 and have been working overtime to make something that is...
According to Tom's Hardware the new Nvidia NV38 and NV36 will be making their debut in a few weeks. This is good news for Nvidia fans, as the new cards will *hopefully* have much better DX9 peformance.
Tom's Hardware:
What's next? In the following weeks we can expect new cards from NVIDIA...
More evidence if you will that supports this theory as well...
Seems like Nvidia's new cards are due in a matter of weeks. Hmm.
Tom's Hardware:
What's next? In the following weeks we can expect new cards from NVIDIA, based on its code-named NV38 and NV36 processors, and ATI will present...
If Valve does release the benchmark today, it will be to the press, not the public. I for one think they owe us that much, to make it a PUBLIC release, but with Valve you never know.
If they do release it, I think it will be press only. Atleast we'll see a good range of benchmarks on extreme...
Yeah, they should call the book on the making of HL2, 'The two sides of Valve'. On one hand they answer emails, give Spitcodfry a tour, and on the other they don't give a shit about how we feel at all. A month notice would have been the proper approach.
The've got us leveraged and they know it.
I'm sure this will be a feature of HL2. I think Gabe even commented on it in an interview or on the info thread.
At least we know the MP will have 'variety.'
EDIT: To clarify Gabe's comment were on the based on improvements over the CS lip-synch technology. Better codecs etc.
Yeah and Reloaded on DVD on October 14th. The movies will be cool, especially since their both the 3rd and final films of their respective trilogies. Should be good stuff.
I'm sure they'll be alot of cool MP2 Matrix mods late this year / early next year too. Max Payne mods are always fun...
Maybe for MP, but Halo doesn't really impress me anymore. It was cool on Xbox, but I don't see it as nex-gen like HL2, D3, and Far Cry.
Come to think about it, wasn't Halo 2 suppossed to come out this year as well?
Well it was suppossed to be the best damn year ever for us FPS fans.
We were going to get D3,HL2, not to mention Far Cry which seems to have also slipped as well (at least thats what the Gamestop computer says).
There is Deus Ex 2, but to me it's not nearly as impressive looking as any of...
And to think, a few weeks ago I was watching the calender like a hawk waiting for this day to arrive.
What an anticlimax. Is it just me or is everyone's excitment for the game deflated like mine? I mean I'm still gonna buy it, and I'm still active on this forum, but it almost seems like I...
