32GB RAM for 1080p high is crazy… I hope the game is better optimized than it looks because this sounds rough.

Not anytime soon. Nvidia tried, and nobody liked it. LLMs still suck at creative writing and need a ton of RAM/VRAM just to work. They also often get confused or trail off in any discussion/roleplay.

The only game that sort of made it work was Suck Up!, where you’re a vampire that has to convince an AI to let you in their house so you can suck their blood. It’s a fun concept but even that game gets repetitive quick and the LLM is very stupid and random.

Well, now you can pirate it without feeling bad about it.

20 mil isn’t that much, but this is good news. Hopefully this sets a precedent for other manipulative gacha games.

Bluepoint, the developer that remakes old games and has never made an original one before, were tasked with making a live service game? Wow.

Much like the rest of the announcement, the specs actually got leaked a few days earlier: https://thegamepost.com/nintendo-switch-2-full-specs-appears-to-have-leaked/

TL;DR: 12GB of RAM, GPU that’s roughly on par with the Steam Deck. It’s not the most powerful handheld out there but surprisingly not bad for Nintendo standards.

Quick, everyone, act surprised!

The suspense is killing me, we need to know what happens next. Keep posting OP

People keep meaning different things when they say “Generative AI”. Do you mean the tech in general, or the corporate AI that companies overhype and try to sell to everyone?

The tech itself is pretty cool. GenAI is already being used for quick subtitling and translating any form of media quickly. Image AI is really good at upscaling low-res images and making them clearer by filling in the gaps. Chatbots are fallible but they’re still really good for specific things like generating testing data or quickly helping you in basic tasks that might have you searching for 5 minutes. AI is huge in video games for upscaling tech like DLSS which can boost performance by running the game at a low resolution then upscaling it, the result is genuinely great. It’s also used to de-noise raytracing and show cleaner reflections.

Also people are missing the point on why AI is being invested in so much. No, I don’t think “AGI” is coming any time soon, but the reason they’re sucking in so much money is because of what it could be in 5 years. Saying AI is a waste of effort is like saying 3D video games are a waste of time because they looked bad in 1995. It will improve.

Sorting by new?

Castlevania: Symphony of the Night. It inspired and perfected a genre of games. It holds up incredibly well.

On the 16th will be almost 100% hardware with little to say about software.

Kind of a shame, what I’m most looking forward to is new game announcements. It’s been 8 years since Mario Odyssey and I need my 3D Mario fix.

Man, Robocraft and Loadout were both great games I enjoyed back in the day, and they both crash and burned a few years later. A real shame.

It is, yeah. They never have playtests on PC, I think due to being afraid of dataminers and modders.

Disney will claim all your belongings since you bought a disney world ticket that one time. Rules are rules.

I guess I’m used to saying it since I spent a long time not knowing it’s the wrong pronunciation for it.

They’ll sell out anyways due to lack of good competition. Intel is getting there but still have driver issues, AMD didn’t announce their GPU prices yet but their entire strategy is following Nvidia and lowering the price by 10% or something.

Yeah, that confused me as well. It seems like they’re making a movie instead.

Very few people would turn it on though and you’d end up with very long queue times.

A) Where’s Lisa Su?

B) Nice to see 13" laptops making a comeback

Also to save everyone some time they didn’t announce the prices on anything or even reveal the new GPUs
