Xbox's "instant on" feature could consume 4 billion kWh - console
(hx) 09:19 AM CET - Jan,17 2021 - Post a comment / read (3)
The "instant on" feature on new Xbox Series S/X consoles could suck up a total of 4 billion kWh—the equivalent of a year's operation for a large power plant—from US owners alone through 2025. That's according to a preliminary report released this week from the Natural Resources Defense Council, an environmentally focused nonprofit advocacy group. As the name implies, the "instant on" feature of the Series S/X (and the Xbox One before it) lets users skip the usual startup time when turning the console back on. That saves about 10 to 15 seconds of waiting per power cycle on the Series S/X, down from about 45 seconds on the Xbox One. (This is separate from the Xbox Series S/X's heavily promoted "quick resume" feature that loads the game state for recent titles directly from the system's fast SSD storage and works in either mode). The Xbox Series S/X initially drew 25 to 28W of "instant on" standby power at launch, but a recent firmware update caused a dramatic reduction, placing the new systems below the ~13W drawn by the Xbox One's "instant on" mode. The PlayStation 5, by contrast, uses between 1 and 2 watts when sitting idle in "rest mode."

A Microsoft spokesperson provided ArsTechnica with the following statement: Users are given a choice during setup between the two power modes for the console: energy saving and instant on. To ensure players can select the option they prefer, they are not opted-in to either power mode by default. At Microsoft, we are committed to sustainability and, as we begin a new generation of gaming with Xbox Series X|S, we’re continuing to explore how we can reduce our environmental impact across the product life cycle—from conceptualization, design, production, and packaging, to what happens once our consoles are in the hands of consumers and at their end-of-life. As part of this commitment, we are evaluating additional methods to highlight the benefits of energy saving mode, but have nothing further to share at this time.

Cyberpunk 2077's E3 2018 demo was faked - briefly
(hx) 12:23 AM CET - Jan,17 2021 - Post a comment
At E3 2018, Cyberpunk 2077 impressed a lot of people with its vertical slice demo. However, it appears that this demo was “fake”, and that it did not showcase the things that players could do in this game. Now we all know that E3 demos are basically vertical slices of a game. However, this feels more like Anthem. Similar to Anthem, CDPR showcased things that were never really implemented in the game. Basically, it faked numerous features. As Jason Schreier noted, CD Projekt hadn’t yet finalized and coded the underlying gameplay systems that were shown in the E3 2018 demo. This explains why so many features, such as car ambushes, are missing from the final game.

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 - January 2021 development update - briefly
(hx) 04:39 PM CET - Jan,16 2021 - Post a comment
Following the release of a gameplay teaser trailer in December 2020, GSC Game World public relations specialist Zakhar Bocharov has published a development update on S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2.
The hostile and treacherous Zone.

Unbelievable treasures that might cost you everything. A blood trial, separating your old life from a new one…

It’s time for a taste of how the game actually feels. Fast-paced changes of scenery, ominous landscapes and the ever-present feeling of an inevitable danger.

You’re seeing this world through the eyes of a stalker named Skif— remember the codename, you will hear it a lot. Following the steps of its predecessors, S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 introduces a completely new main protagonist. His actions will shape the new grand chapter in the history of the Zone.

The short scene takes place in the ruined school on the outskirts of the dead town of Pripyat. That’s an extremely dangerous place, and nobody would like to be here on their will. Still, the place doesn’t seem completely abandoned: there is a freshly started fire with a guitar nearby. However, Skif hardly has time to acknowledge that: he seems in a hurry. It looks like an inevitable danger is following him.

And here it is: an emission. A signature part of the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. series, a powerful release of the anomalous energy from the center of the Zone. Emission happens from time to time and it’s extremely dangerous: it can kill you in the blink of an eye. When a stalker notices a start of emission, they should hide immediately and wait for the end of it, hoping they can get through. So that’s why Skif is in a hurry: he is certainly looking for cover in the nearby building.

The situation is far from safe, though: the building is half-ruined, and the PDA doesn’t seem to work: the signal is lost. All things considered, it’s easy not to notice someone hiding in the shadows. He does look familiar, though…

Some of our fans may recognize the hardly-distinguishable guitar motive. If this tune evokes your nostalgia feelings, that’s because it’s taken from a “Life Line” song by famous Russian rock band Splean We found it to fit just perfectly in the scene we created. If you are hearing this tune for the first time, we recommend listening to the full version — it’s sad and moving at the same time. And extremely catchy, if you ask us.

Finally, we would like to finish this update with a development status. We’re progressing smoothly, including Xbox Series X / S versions as well. The aim is to deliver the product of the highest quality possible on every platform it’s announced for. With fast SSD, RTX support (both Series X and S) and 4K-resolution (Series X), we’re pleased to see how S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 is shaping up to be the ultimate experience we’ve initially promised.

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 is in development for Xbox Series and PC. It will also be available on Xbox Game Pass for Console. A release date has yet to be announced.

Tech-Com: 2029 gameplay video - movie
(hx) 08:20 PM CET - Jan,15 2021 - Post a comment
Tech-Com: 2029 takes place in 2029, pitting the future war between Skynet and the Human Resistance. Players will take control of Tech-Com soldier, Kyle Reese, DN38146. Therefore, gamers will play through the events that lead him to his final mission in 1984. The team behind it aims to release this game for free to everyone once it’s complete. For what it’s worth, the team has not received yet any C&D letter. And, while this is certainly a good thing, we really don’t know how Skydance Media will react to such a free fan game. There is currently no ETA on when Tech-Com: 2029 will come out.

Bomber Crew is free to claim on the Humble Store - freegame
(hx) 05:37 PM CET - Jan,15 2021 - Post a comment
Developed by Runner Duck, the game is an FTL-like strategy survival sim experience that has players taking control of a WWII bomber crew, where they must manage fuel, ammo, hydraulics, and other factors of the bomber while also being aware of enemy fighters, flak guns, weather, oxygen levels, and other dangers. The Bomber Crew giveaway can be accessed through its store page on Humble, where it is made available as a Steam key. Subscribing to the free Humble newsletter is a requirement for grabbing the freebie. he giveaway is slated to come to an end at 10AM PST on January 17, but there is a possibility of the store running out of promotional keys before then, so it's better to grab one early when stocks are still full. Once claimed, the key must also be redeemed to a Steam account before January 21. Considering previous major sale-related events of Humble, there is a good chance of another freebie appearing before its winter promotions conclude on January 28.

The Medium live-action trailer - movie
(hx) 06:23 PM CET - Jan,14 2021 - Post a comment
Bloober Team has released a new live-action trailer for psychological horror game The Medium. The trailer was produced in cooperation with award-winning visual effects and animation studio Platige Image, with academy award nominee Tomasz Baginski serving as writer and creative Producer, and talented Pawel Maslona as director. “The Medium is a game with a very strong narrative backbone,” said Baginski in a press release. “The most important thing for me was to understand what the essence of this story is, who its heroes are and its tone. The task was to lean as hard as possible on the emotional side of the story while trying to keep as many of the twists as possible a secret. The script is supposed to build a certain mood rather than reveal a story.” Bloober Team CEO Piotr Babieno added, “The Medium is our biggest and most ambitious project to date. When we thought who could write a live action trailer for the game, Tomasz Baginski quickly became the most natural choice. After all, his Oscar-nominated The Cathedral was also inspired by the art of Zdzislaw Beksinski, just like the spirit world in our game. I’m personally very happy that we could create something together.” The Medium is due out for Xbox Series and PC via Steam and the Microsoft Store on January 28. It will also be available via Xbox Game Pass for Console and PC.

GeForce RTX 3060 in February 2021 - tech
(hx) 11:36 AM CET - Jan,13 2021 - Post a comment / read (3)
Alongside today's CES-centric announcement of their new GeForce RTX 30 series parts for laptops, NVIDIA also offered an in-depth reveal of their next desktop graphics card, the GeForce RTX 3060. Reflected the continued progression of the Ampere architecture into smaller and cheaper video cards as NVIDIA continues its product stack rollout, the RTX 3060 marks the introduction of Ampere into their popular mainstream-enthusiast 60-series video card tier. Long the backbone of NVIDIA’s desktop sales in North America and elsewhere, the 60-tier cards typically strike a solid balance between price and performance. And with prices set to start at $329, at launch the RTX 3060 will become the cheapest RTX card that NVIDIA has ever offered!

At any rate, the 3060's biggest selling point (aside from its sub-$350 price tag) is its 12GB of GDDR6 VRAM. That figure surpasses last gen's RTX 2080 Ti, and even this gen's RTX 3080, which have 11 and 8GB of VRAM, respectively. The 3060 was built with a 192-bit memory bus, and it's set to feature 3,584 CUDA cores and a base clock speed of 1.32 GHz (boost clocks go up to 1.78 GHz). It's expected to draw around 170 W of power on average over a PCIe 8-pin connector, which should fit into most modern builds quite nicely.

Nvidia promises up to twice the raster performance of the GTX 1060, and 10x the RT performance. That's a rather useless and frankly puzzling comparison, given that the 1060 is two generations old and doesn't even support RTX in the first place. According to Nvidia's calculations, the RTX 3060 is can push somewhere in the neighborhood of 60-64 FPS in Watch Dogs: Legion at 1080p with RT and DLSS enabled (it's unclear what RT and DLSS settings were used, however). The 2060, however, sinks to the low 40s, which is no surprise given the generational differences here. The 1060's performance is listed as well, but again, it's an irrelevant comparison.

The GeForce RTX 3060 will be launching in late February.

(hx) 10:40 AM CET - Jan,12 2021 - Post a comment
Mass Effect: Legendary Edition will launch on March 12, 2021, according to retail listings from Shopitree in Singapore and GSShop in Indonesia. Those listings were spotted by Idle Sloth on Twitter, and the folks at Eurogamer have corroborated the date with their own sources. The release date is still subject to change prior to the official announcement, but until then, this date is looking pretty solid. The remaster is, indeed, a remaster – not a remake. That means you shouldn’t expect any fundamental gameplay changes, but the games will be optimised for bigger resolutions, higher frame rates, and will receive some other visual enhancements. The package will also include all the single-player DLC originally released for the trilogy.

Intel's Rocket Lake-S Core i9-11900K CPU benchmarked - tech

At CES 2021, Intel allegedly announced its 11th Gen Core Rocket Lake-S series during the CES 2021 press briefing. Official announcement slides have been leaked as well, which shows almost 14% IPC Boost with 11th Gen CPU lineup. According to Intel the 8C/16T Core i9-11900K reclaims the gaming performance crown from AMD’s Ryzen 9 5900X at 1080p, albeit even by a small margin. Intel ran these tests with an EVGA RTX 3080 XC3 graphics card, and the company claims the lead ranges from 2% to 8%. AMD’s new Zen 3-based Ryzen 9 5900X actually has more cores but it appears that Intel’s IPC performance is shining through, even on a refined 14nm process Node. Intel clocked its new Core i9-11900K processor at all the way up to 5.3GHz which is a pretty high clock speed for a CPU, thus helping it beat AMD’s Ryzen CPU in the end.

Rocket Lake will deliver desktop users up to eight cores and sixteen threads on the high-end, which means two cores and four threads less than the current Comet Lake processor lineup. But the reduction in core count could also mean that Intel plans to rely on increased single-threaded performance, thus boosting overall system performance through single-threaded gains. Single-threaded performance will help Intel to compete more in the CPU market segment, even if AMD can deliver higher core count SKUs. Not all applications or tasks are highly multi-threaded in nature, which makes the single-threaded performance all the more important. Intel claims that Rocket Lake’s IPC and frequency improvements offset the removal of the two cores, implying the chip will offer the same performance as the previous gen ten-core 10900K CPU. Rocket Lake 11th Gen core series CPUs are expected to hit retail shelves by the end of March 2021. The RKL lineup will share the same LGA 1200 socket and motherboard compatibility as the current 10th Gen Comet Lake processors, thus providing an upgrade path even for those rocking the flagship Core i9-10900K Comet lake CPU.

Cyberpunk 2077 multiplayer details leaked - briefly
(hx) 05:13 PM CET - Jan,11 2021 - Post a comment / read (2)
What seem to be the very first details for Cyberpunk 2077''s upcoming multiplayer release have been leaked online by dataminers. Cyberpunk 2077's executable file appears to have two separate multiplayer game modes, at present: Heists and Deathmatch. While it sounds like the latter will work exactly as you'd expect, Heists seem to be more akin to single-player quests, with the added twist that you can bring friends along for the ride. One editor helper description reads: "Set spawn point tag that will be used to spawn new players during the mission." The Reddit found here summarises pretty much everything else that was found on the multiplayer mode, though the rest of it doesn't really give much more away in regards to what Heists are or how they work.

The game’s executable file so far has two distinct MP game modes. The first one is called Heists, whereas the second one is a simple deathmatch. The Heists mode seems to function closer to standard single-player quest, along with dedicated functions with editor helper descriptions such as:
Set Heist State
Set spawn point tag that will be used to spawn new players during the mission
Spawn tag: %s
Here are also some additional related functions.

Regarding the deathmatch mode, here are some of its functions:

Wow! You killed yourself… Bravo.

Furthermore, the game MAY rely on P2P connections, and MAY not have dedicated servers. Going by the scraps, it seems that the game targets purely Peer 2 Peer connections with some host authority. Again, things may change. We are not saying that Cyberpunk 2077 won’t have dedicated servers. However, the executable file currently hints at P2P connections.

CD Projekt RED is currently working on the first free DLC for Cyberpunk 2077 that will come out in early 2021. The team also debunked the recent rumors about development troubles with the game’s post-launch support.
