I'm a bit lost these days..

Jobs in limbo
I'm thinking she's just calling when she's drunk and ignoring me otherwise..
and with the new car barely into the first few payments I can't really leave town.

Like maybe in 8 more months it'll all settle back down and I can sleep.. and breathe better.

But I'm just not sleeping.. maybe the puddle of warm goo that was once the candle of my sanity.. no there's no way to rebuild it.

But yeah.. I'm just tired. Listless. Bored.

Mainly because After E3 there's a dullness that got some punctuation due to the non-announcement of Xbox 3 and PS4.

At least a Crackdown 3.. or a Mass Effect Arc 2..

At the very least Code Masters, now focused on racing.. maybe they realized they need to make money to stay solvent... are doing GRID 2.

That's important to me because like few other games it validated 5.1, 42" regza and committing to Xbox 360. But that was like 2? 3 years ago?

Where's Xbox 3 and PS4?

Both are being developed.. and possibly the few remaining current generation games are being rushed to the shelves by christmas so the hype machine can get started in earnest next year.

So? As far as I can tell the only reason for PS4 is opening the door to consumer 4K.. through BDXL and whatever other developments Sony can afford.


I'm thinking that if they didn't have anything to show though, and few of the remaining games in this generation are jaw dropping (regardless of the technical limitations of Xbox 360 and PS3).. or worthy of being pushed to generation 8, and possibly 4K, the [remaining given so many have closed already] meat and potatoes devs aren't exactly jumping on Origin or Steam to do anything meaningful.

The concern there being without any presence on Steam and Origin.. how many devs are even ready to push 64bit native games that need hardware acceleration, 4+ minimum gigs of system ram, dx11 and GPU for computing stuff CPUs are inadequate to handle properly.

Like BioWare. What could they do with 4 gigs of system ram minimum, 8 gigs medium (given a core i7 16 gig Ivy bridge gaming system, with a graphics card or 2), 4 gigs of graphics ram, 4K resolution native (optional 3D), 64bit native, and a requirement for gpu hardware accelerated computation for AI, physics etc. So that MS can say.. hey.. now's the time to buy Windows7/8 because even BioWare (Crytek, Epic etc such as Capcom, Square Enix, Rockstar, are making really next generation games for PC for the next couple of years while generations hit the ground and start running).

What if they'd be setting the bar to high?

If you haven't see it yet.. Agni's Philosophy.. if BioWare could do anything near that in 4K.. well forget about gaming becoming mainstream.. that would be properly, disgustingly insane. It was also sad that Rockstar didn't bring anything to E3.. that was pure wtf. Not even a trailer?


So the silver lining is the tools are there. The population of PC gamers with modest gaming PCs is growing.. and many who don't yet are poised to consider a purchase but couldn't rightly jump into anything ridiculous without games to justify it.. while Xbox 3 and PS4 and real. And there's always the mobile world if devs just need quick money between now and Xbox 3 and PS4 hitting the streets. Whatever sells well can be made into a generation 8 console game. Or ported to Mac and PC.

Dragons' Dogma should be.. but hasn't yet. And Microsoft could port Horizon and Halo4.. but won't... While Epic? Why have they abandoned PC gaming? for console and mobile.. ick.

I mean a 2014, 4K, 64 bit native Unreal Tournament in Unreal Engine 4.. I'd have the wipe the saliva from my ears at the thought.

Still. There's a part of me that's thinking until PC gaming hits 4K.. and I need to contemplate buying a 4K display.. gaming has very little meaning. With examples like Starcrat 2, Diablo 3.. lack of Spore 2 and Sims 4, and the upcoming SimCity remake.. and not Simcity 5.. I mean what's there to justify PC gaming really?

The tiniest glimmer of hope.. KoAR.. shot down in flames by possibly the biggest debacle in history.. When they could have just focused on making the game and leaving the MMO until they had money. Real money, not investor money, which at that 38 studios didn't even have.. all they had was debt.. it was like Goldman Sachs all over again as if Shilling was living in a hole for the last 10 years.


So just looking at EA.. they could have some of their studios working on 4K games as a, hey, look, yes we can support 4K and which to encourage you to build (such monstrous) gaming PCs today. But more than that Spore 2 and Sims 4 through origin (which they possibly could have more premium games on that bend single and multi-player (which simcity aims to do) so that you can solo if you want, but the community is right there in the thick of things.. Where the wall of single player because a shower curtain or a veil.

It kinda bugs me how limited EA is in developing Origin titles differently from boxed titles. Maybe they'll get it eventually and between then and now they can keep their studios working on making better, more compelling games.

For Maxis titles.. which used to mean a requirement to upgrade your PC to play.. that could just mean higher resolution and more RAM for bigger, richer gaming experiences.

So that your Sims game would allow you to see a few lots at the same time, in full detail with any rabbit holes, instead of just the one lot. Actually have physics applied to everything without as many animations locking stuff down into predictable behaviors/animations (think sims have to stop running to climb stairs, or how cars are real because they just pop in and out of existence). The possibilities for Sims 4, after Windows 8 launches, are daunting to even consider.. mainly because the game would have to last another half decade. But with either Glass box, Cryengine or Frostbite 2.... I mean Maxis has choices.. probably too many... if Sims 4 is even being considered at all.

Same with other RTS games because you could zoom out and see more of the action in one gulping eyeful. The only problem there is video cards with much more ram on the, 4+ gigs. I'm game, if only there were more games to press the issue.
