      Yeah I was expecting the brain to come alive and spout legs and tendrils. The narration is very unsettling too.

        Did you ever play Dragon Age? There was some pretty grim stuff in that too…

          I played one of them. Wasn't my cup of tea. The Bethesda RPGs kind of ruined games like that for me. Oblivion was a high water mark for high fantasy RPGs in my humble opinion.

            Agreed on both counts @Filthy I played them before Skyrim and haven’t touched them since that came out. There is a story line in Dragon Age: Origins that has implied and actual screen gore/torture that really turned my stomach.

                This looks promising – weird thing is, during this whole VID duration ive been playing way less than I used to.
                If the end quality matches up with this I would give it a try.

                  Black Myth looks so cool. But I just hope it isn't relegated to being one of those super difficult Demon Souls-like games.

                  Here's Digital Trends' review of my TV I was talking about in case you are wondering. I think Caleb gets a few things wrong in the review, like the C9 does have Gsync but it doesn't have Freesync. And he mentions black crush, but I haven't noticed it because I use the TV exclusively in Instant Game Response mode with the OLED light to 100 and contrast to 100. So, the image is always bright and vibrant. I could go into a lot more things but it's probably not worth it.

                  The only thing I don't like about the TV is it smells funny sometimes (like a hair perm maybe) and how shiny the screen is. It reflects almost any light source.

                      In case you were wondering, Star Wars Squadrons is really great. The graphics are amazing and the controls are fantastic. They did a great job with how the ships control in zero G and you get to play as the Empire or the Rebels and can (somewhat) customize your character and ship. Also there is VR on Playstation and PC.

                      I haven't purchased a Star Wars game since KOTOR 2 so this is pretty monumental to have such a good single-player Star Wars game. It doesn't appear to be full of microtransactions and other garbage.i highly recommend it.

                            It's going to very difficult waiting another year for this. I am tempted to go for the early access preview. But I think it will be more rewarding to wait for the full game. Hopefully they do an Xbox Series X version, since my PC is rapidly becoming outdated.

                              I'm not too onto basketball. But this makes me very excited for the new consoles and PC video cards. CG is indiscernible form reality now, amd video games are catching up.

                                    Incredible what Consumer hardware can do in realtime now….

                                    It was only around thirty years ago that affordable hardware could spin only a handful of polygons on screen at a time...

                                    Anyone have a Commadore Amiga?

                                        @organisys holy f*ck that is mad! I did not really believe the hype about ray tracing originally but as games catch up it sure looks impressive. Interested to see how the new consoles fair on average against PC

                                        The devil is in the detail..

                                          I think you will see roughly level pegging for a while, even if some of the PC hardware on paper is superior, partly for commercial reasons.

                                          As time goes on (and the console hardware is effectively frozen in time, and PC not) the PC side will improve, (but this will of course cost the PC owner in upgrades), having said that Games Houses will of course learn how to squeeze more from the constraints of the consoles.

                                          Arguably Photorealistic Realtime Raytracing on commodity hardware has been the holy-grail of the Industry for 30+ years.

                                            I love squadrons!  Reminds me of the good old days playing X-wing and Tie Fighter.  It has very similar controls, which makes it easier for me at least, still a ton of buttons to memorize again.

                                            Anyone on here play any Borderlands?

                                            Are there any Pinball heads as well?
