Sad about Black Flag remake

Not new news but I didn't hear about it. Nvidia restored 32bit Physx support for certain games on 5000 series. Interesting.

Based on the specs of the Steam Machine (GabeCube), it's gonna have to be in the $500-600 range to be competitive

Slight delay from "Early 2026" to "First-Half 2026". Still no pricing details.

I'm sure the ram situation really fucked their plans up

There is no way the 2tb model is going to be less than a thousand. A grand to play games at 1080 badly upscaled to 4k.

On that note, have we had confirmation as to whether or not Steam Machine can handle FSR4? The value proposition of getting a Steam Machine (before RAM/NVMe price hikes) plummeted for me when I got a new GPU and saw how much modern DLSS absolutely destroys FSR3, and I don't want to ever go back to just FSR3 for any game that relies on temporal upscaling.

I hope this is a good one

Couldn't find a thread for Tides of Annihilation, but they put out a fun video for the Lunar New Year.

I'm actually really intrigued by that game, it seems very FFXVI coded in it's boss fights being extremely cinematic, which is a huge plus.

[Tyrath]

Ya I hope its good. Do we have a release date yet?

Last I heard was 2026 with no specific date.

Definitely one of the games I'm looking forward to.

Well, at least this cross-over makes more sense than most of the dumb skins they've released in recent years.
Solid Snake being added to Siege. Another Operator with wallhacks/enemy tracking mechanics - https://www.ubisoft.com/en-gb/game/r...rs/solid-snake

this is the start of year 11 and they also optimistically announced year 12 will be back to one new op per season, also I believe they are going to be scrapping that new Dual Front mode entirely already lol
