Gamersyde's most used feature and one of its "downfalls" (as far as using actual threads to discuss) is the chat box feature on the front page.

90% of the discussion happens on the front page, so when you say it has barely moved, you're both right and wrong I guess.

The games that appear on the front page get a ton of chit-chat from time to time though, the E3: Forza 6 direct feed 60fps video thread for instance is at 97 comments.

That's a good point, the chat box does seem far more lively than ever. Shame really, always preferred the forums as it allows you to catch up conversations rather than bits of it or just the end of it. Always seemed more focused too (at least to me it does).

Phaethon called out half of the fanboys as being a single user.. that really killed his conversation.

Haha, I missed this! Which accounts were they?

Kit Guru's Anton Shilov seems to think Microsoft is interested in purchasing AMD- http://www.kitguru.net/components/anton-shilov/mic...

Considering the terrible financial shape AMD is currently in (shares have plunged 43%) and with investors running from them like they're a burning building, I don't know how they could turn any reasonable offer down.

They had already sold off their fabs awhile ago so there's not much infrastructure left beyond their R&D labs. Just a stock that's barely holding on to $2 dollars and a capitalization that threatens to fall below $2 Billion. Their PC graphic card sales are underneath the toilet as well.

The benefits for Microsoft are easily assessed but I'm not sure Sony and Nintendo would be cool with this.

I'm not sure Intel should be cool with it either.

True, but I would imagine that MS and Intel would have to cooperate and negotiate licensing terms or they could both run into major problems. It took the SEC to bring AMD and Intel to the table to negotiate their cross licensing agreement But before we even get to that AMD needs rescuing in a very serious and immediate way.

Pretty easy to figure out if you go through this thread. They would make hit and run posts and like "Cool :)" "Can't wait!" All the accounts shared the same IP address.

We'll see if they can actually pull it off with Crackdown. The dependency on "the cloud!!!!" will be interesting, I'd really like to see them pull it off seamlessly with thousands of users playing online.

I'll bet they aren't the only studios that are enthusiastic about the possibilities that this tech offers. I look at this demonstration and can't but wonder how the next Borderlands might perform if Gearbox utilized this process.

thing with destruction is it's pretty unwanted on the scale crackdown utilises it. it works for 5 minute bouts of some clusterfuck MP, not so much in any other instance...set pieces too i guess... otherwise it's the small scale stuff that's more impressive for most devs i'd assume. cover being realistically destroyed bullet by bullet...but again this could clash with the very structured way in which cover is degraded and lasts in a combat scenario.

i mean, there's a reason this level of destruction isn't in the single player part of the game. it would clash with the idea of a designed purpose built city. MP isn't concerned about that aspect so leveling an entire city doesn't matter. trying to reach an agility orb after you've toppled a skyscraper though...that's just game breaking lol

i don't imagine we'll see much of this sort of thing really, could even be the only time depending on how well the game does.... i certainly don't see it in something like borderlands though, it's far too structured and purposefully designed... maybe red faction if it returns returns? that would be cool. an online only single player though i wouldn't be down with in either case.

You played Crackdown, huh?

I kinda imagine the cloud has a lot to do with it too. They can't insure/expect a solid internet connection in SP. Had Microsoft shipped with their initial vision, Crackdown 3 might be an entirely different game all together. We have no idea how well the destruction will work in multiplayer. Keep in mind that the weapon damage is turned up to 11 here for the purpose of demoing the tech.

lol.. Don't worry they won't.

Problem with destruction on this level is that it breaks the game if you are trying to do any kind of story. What happens if you destroy the building your quest givers are in? Lots of interesting design decisions could come from the wake of this technology though. I think this is something that will only ever work in multiplayer arenas, but if a developer can figure out a way to make this work in singleplayer then props to them, will be super interesting.

The game in general doesnt look too hot, sacrifices for 60fps I suppose. It doesn't look AWFUL, but its definitely not a looker.

it's basically RDR in 1080p. that's what the visuals look like to me. good for an up-res'd previous gen title. pretty shit in general.
