well the gamergate was exactly that on a smaller scale and with a different payment methodJust as a generic response and not meant to derail the thread but...
What happens when Politicians receive political donations by large firms?
What happens when the mainstream media receive access to politicians and scoops on stories?
What happens when big media outlets receive advertisement dollars from large firms?
To claim that NVIDIA are the only ones who participate in this is disingenuous. At the same time, to claim that it has no effect on outcomes is also wishful thinking.
Anyhow. Carry on!

who ever thinks that giving presents away wont buy influence is delusional (just look what happened with the panama leaks today(well considering that those leaks happened 2 years ago and only now we get to see them is well...)
Game ran great, looked great and played great, I can't WAIT for retail!
Can you talk about the multiplayer more ?? pros and cons ?? Any resemblance to Quake Arena ??
as the pace is clearly geared towards consoles and someone holding a controller.
Why are all the frame rates capped at 60 ? Does this game have one of those hard 60fps locks ? If so, no buy!
It reminded me a lot of Quake 3, but not quite as fast paced. Can only carry two weapons and a throwable, and can't pick up weapons or ammo, only armor from dead people. You can double-jump and mantle up ledges, and you're pretty vulnerable while doing the latter. You gain experience and levels, which unlock "Hackmods", guns and armor pieces to customize your avatar. The "Hackmods" are powerups that do things like give more ammo on spawn/respawn, allow you to see when pickups will respawn, track the player who killed you and others.
I'm no MP expert and in general I don't even like MP, but this one is fun. I'm reminded of how much fun I used to have playing Unreal Tournament.
It's really not. If you think that, and try to play the PC version with a X1 pad, you'll get destroyed. It's very clearly designed, at least the MP, with kb/m in mind.
No, the advanced options allow 60, 90, 120, and 144 fps.
Am buying.
SLI is totally borked in the beta. Had to disable it to get optimal perf.

If the framerate drops below the cap does it still behave normally? Or does aim get borked like in titanfall?
If this is anything like every other ID engine made, as your frame rates lower, you actually runs lower, have shorter jumps, etc. As the physics are FPS based. This was especially apparent in Quake 3, where some jumps could only be made at 120fps.
That's true about quake 3, but it was really a minor difference. For the most part the game played exactly the same, iirc. Nothing like dark souls, for example. Plus they have a lot of new people working on the engine(tiago souza, who was the lead engine programmer at crytek, for example, and richard duffy has taken john carmack's place as technical director), so we don't really know if they made the same decisions.
Under 125 fps = Could not jump up ledges /plasma-climb etc etc
125 fps = everything worked as intended
333 fps = you could move/jump faster/longer
500 fps = Could run around without making sound (as if +walk cmd)
Fps also affected the netcode, updated faster with higher fps ("polling rate")
I played quake3 for ~14 years :wub:
