AMD Gaming Evolved Roadmap

[Lonyo]

Dunno, but Square Enix screwing up and massively overestimating Tomb Raider sales isn't AMDs fault and doesn't mean the game is bad.

They expected it to sell an expected of 5-6m as an 80~90% estimate of their true hope.
It sold 3.4m units. Somehow that's a failure because they had unrealistic expectations.

But that's AMD's fault. AMD claimed it would sell millions more units than it did and duped Square Enix!

I highly doubt AMD told Square Enix they'd be seeling anywhere close to 1 million cards... Let alone 5-6 million.

Square Enix screwed up and thought the game had a higher demand than it really did.

Yeah and it still sold millions? Square enix is apparently run by idiots if they ever thought Tomb Raider would sell 8 million in a month. Their expectations were so far beyond reality, it's hilarious.

The game was an incredible success by anyone's reasonable expectation. I believe it has sold 4 million already? Most games don't sell 1/8th of that. Most sell for less than even 1/8th. I'm 100% sure that Tomb Raider will be one of the top 5 sellers for 2013, so to state that it was unsuccessful depends on your definition. If you're an idiot corporate head at Square enix, maybe it's unsuccessful. However other publishers would dream of selling that many copies.

AMD has issues with incompetent management while the corporate heads of Square Enix are living in a fantasy land. If you look at their estimated sales for all of their games over the prior 2 years, they're nothing short of ridiculous. They expected all of their games to be 20 million+ selling blockbusters. No wonder their sales fell short of internal expectations: their expectations are completely ludicrous and not realistic in the slightest bit. There is no video game publisher that could ever meet those expectations. Anyway, maybe AMD and Square deserve each other for the lack of level headed management.

Interesting... Very!

But it's Epic's bone :ninja:
Yeah I know, they are NV fans

The slide was a fake.
nVidia has Ubisoft and so all of their AAA games - Watch Dogs, AC4 and Splinter Cell.

Intel has Grid 2 and Rome.

I don't think you are reading the article correctly.

Maybe, but then:

But maybe the future will change? NVIDIA showed titles like Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag, Watch_Dogs, Splinter Cell: Blacklist, The Witcher 3 and the upcoming Batman: Arkham Origins as NVIDIA-sponsored and integrating NVIDIA technologies. All five of them use DX11, tessellation and even TXAA – a highly efficient NVIDIA-only anti-aliasing technology.

I'm pretty sure it's on a game by game basis. Far Cry 3 was AMD, but AC3 was nVidia. Also nvidia list Max Payne 3, Frostbite and Crysis 3 as game/engine that they work with. But we all know those 2 are on AMD's gaming evolved program.

Have to give them credit, I never cared about game bundles but these are some titles I'd actually be buying anyway.

 

[-Slacker-]

Where are they getting the money for all this?

Far Cry 3 was an exception. Those five games are TWIMTBP titles.
The slide is fake, but there are some truth on it because Company of Heroes 2, Battlefiled 4 and Raven's Cry will be gaming evolved titles. Maybe this is true for Lost Planet 3, but I ain't heard of it.
What I heard that these are GE titles: Thief, NFS: Rivals, Sniper Elite 3, Homefront 2, Sims4, Dragon Age 3, Mirror's Edge 2, and a Star Wars game (I don't know the name). AMD basicly has a contract to any EA, SEGA and Square Enix title.
