Zoraptor Posted October 3, 2013 Posted October 3, 2013 Yeah, the OMG DAIKATANA!!! stuff is a bit weird, since it's been on GOG for nearly a year (it's their version being rebadged for steam again, like with Wizardry/ SS2 etc) and is considerably cheaper there if you're a Euro. Not knowing is the kind of thing you half expect from Gamespot and RPS's resident Steam propagandist Mr Grayson but I'd expect the general gaming public on forums I frequent to be more well informed. And they were at the Codex. Do you want to be known as less well informed than the Codex? I think not.

Wonder if I should get it (got the original on DVD, not quite sure if the changes are worth it reading about them)...

Keyrock Posted October 4, 2013 Posted October 4, 2013 The most noteworthy thing about Daikatana was that after all of John Romero's boasting it flopped harder than an Italian footballer. It wasn't as bad as the press made it out to be, but it wasn't anything special either. RFK Jr 2024 "Any organization created out of fear must create fear to survive." - Bill Hicks
Zoraptor Posted October 4, 2013 Posted October 4, 2013 The really bad thing is that it was a choice between finishing Daikatana and buying (and hence saving) Looking Glass, and Eidos chose Daikatana. You cost us Thief 2 Gold, Mr Romero. Never Forget! 2

Keyrock Posted October 4, 2013 Posted October 4, 2013 I'm expecting Thi4f to be every bit as true to the series roots as Torture Porn Raider. With any luck, it will have just as many QTEs. On the bright side, instead of deciding what to do yourself you'll be able to just push the cool button to have Garrett do cool stuff. 2 RFK Jr 2024 "Any organization created out of fear must create fear to survive." - Bill Hicks
Nordicus Posted October 4, 2013 Posted October 4, 2013 Look at the bright side, it looks like Thi4f's Awesome Button Mode does not regen very quickly if at all. So think of that Focus Mode meter as Garrett's bladder and take a nice slow-mo piss in the corner before every heist.

A GTX660 can max most games at 1080p even when paired with a i3, and can run the most demanding games on medium-ish settings. Even the lowest spec should be able to hold its own against next-gen consoles, and by the time these come out for realsies, with manufacturing cost having fallen, and with Valve presumably being able to buy in bulk much cheaper than a regular consumer, they may be able to match the PS4 price on the lowest spec and not lose a dime on each machine. The top spec machine would wipe the floor with either the PS4 or the Xbone, but I can't see that costing less than $1200, even several months from now. A i5-GTX760 pairing would likely be the most effective performance to price pairing.

licketysplit Posted October 4, 2013 Posted October 4, 2013 That's going to dwarf the next gen consoles in every way. But the price. It has to be well over a grand.
Keyrock Posted October 4, 2013 Posted October 4, 2013 That's going to dwarf the next gen consoles in every way. But the price. It has to be well over a grand. The lowest possible spec (i3, GTX660), without doing any research (laziness), I would imagine I could build myself for $750-ish. I imagine Valve could do it for somewhere in the ballpark of $400-$500 right now, likely significantly less some 4 or 5 months from now. I would never go for a build with a Titan in it. That card is a beast, but it's ABSURDLY overpriced. The top of the line components always are, but the Titan takes that to an extreme. RFK Jr 2024 "Any organization created out of fear must create fear to survive." - Bill Hicks
Zoraptor Posted October 4, 2013 Posted October 4, 2013 Titan seems ludicrous for a small form factor and the cooling/ PSU requirements for the top end of those specs would be... difficult. If they aren't very careful anything near the top line specs listed there will be a replacement for a thermite block and will end up burning its way through the bottom of your house, or sound like a 747 preparing for take off. And if you don't want those alternatives it'll cost. Great, so now Garrett is Kai Leng. Oh gods, that's who he reminds me of. No wonder I dislike the new style Garrett so intensely. The only remaining question is whether I'll be able to replay the old games without imagining it being Kai Leng, or whether Thiaf has managed to retroactively ruin the experience for me (with an assist from ME3).
Oner Posted October 4, 2013 Posted October 4, 2013 On a somewhat related note, I find it incredibly funny that a handheld metal detector at work has a GARRETT logo on it.

Or I should say, concern me most. I look at those numbers and then look over at my old Xbox 360 and they seem about the same. No mention of a motherboard brand, either. Is there some super secret way to mount a GPU parallel to the mobo. It better come with silent liquid nitrogen cooling, or something. If they release a Steam Machine for less than $599, I will have to clean up the aftermath of a purple twinkie sharknado. All Stop. On Screen.

I would imagine this would require a completely different form factor, possibly something "L" shaped. RFK Jr 2024 "Any organization created out of fear must create fear to survive." - Bill Hicks
Humanoid Posted October 5, 2013 Posted October 5, 2013 That height dimension is crazy, some video cards would probably be that thick by themselves. But it is very wide, which leads me to think it may be a side-by-side arrangement: a mini-ITX board is about 7" each side, a large video card is about 10"x4". So lay them both next to each other and you get the approximate dimensions given. L I E S T R O N GL I V E W R O N G
AwesomeOcelot Posted October 5, 2013 Posted October 5, 2013 Suddenly Valve's relationship with Piston makes more sense, they needed the component arrangement. Those GPU are pretty high range, but it depends when Valve are thinking about releasing Steam Machines, if it's the end of 2014 then GPU would have progressed a bit. Also, as others have said, Microsoft and Sony don't pay the same as us for AMD GPU.
