Hey don't look at me, it was the other guy who spoiled it
They did this last E3. Microsoft is notorious for running their even stuff on top of the line PCs, mostly because the One uses a modified Windows 8 OS.
The incredible thing is that it was basically made like one. The animation is hand-drawn and the backgrounds are hand-painted. About the only change from the old-school methods is they colorized characters in Photoshop.
They attempted to hand-color everything, apparently, but they said it would have taken another few years to get the game done and didn't want to hold it up even longer.
I was gonna say.Hey don't look at me, it was the other guy who spoiled it
Thanks for taking the blame.
Also, Sephiroth's Supernova was the final push that made me actually hate the game.
They actually made this way longer in the American release. It used to just be a simple animation. Then again, they also introduced Diamond, Ruby, and Emerald Weapon in the US version... and Diamond drops a weapon that used to be dummied out. So it's not all bad.
To be fair Diamond still existed in the original as it's plot-centric, you just didn't actually get a chance to fight it.
Arkham Knight is now fully pre-loaded onto my computer.
3DS rules and regulations (spoilered for size):
A few folks have found a neat reference to Batman: the Animated Series.
Or possibly the pre-New 52 Batgirl comics with Stephanie Brown, where she had a sidekick that wore the Grey Ghost outfit and name for awhile.A few folks have found a neat reference to Batman: the Animated Series.
I kind of wish they'd do a Grey Ghost series... make him be the guy the Bruce styled himself after when he started getting serious as a crime fighter.

Maybe you need to delete all your Stones mp3s.
Jesus is the guy trying to burn his retinas out with that window border/font color?
Am I the only one surprised by how possible this future sounds?
What? No comments about the analog stick?
I assume whoever did those is probably partial to NVIDIA (since XB1 and PS4 both also use ATI graphics).

Yeah, ATI PC cards have less trouble if they only have to render at 30fps in 720p, too

No kidding. I'm on my second RMA. And this is XFX, which is a reasonably reputable brand, too. Supposedly.
It's a bit of a shame, really.
AMD's GPU design is one that was designed to be very strong at GPGPU computing, but they haven't been able to get their power consumption/heat under control, and so they have to make compromises.
Their biggest trouble is that they're fighting on two fronts, against NVIDIA for GPU and Intel for CPU. They've come up with some pretty impressive stuff, but they end up so rushed because they have to try and keep up on both ends that they're never really able to refine their stuff. And that's why Intel+NVIDIA currently rules the roost.

They make the best silk purses they can out of those sow ears.[DOUBLEPOST=1435262451,1435262313][/DOUBLEPOST]
All but one of the ATI cards I've ever owned has been flaky. Even the card I own right now (which is the same model as the one giving Fade so much trouble) routinely experiences driver crashes while doing nothing at all. Just a microsecond of the screen blipping to a blue screen of death then immediately back to desktop, as if nothing ever happened, when the driver restarts. It bothered me a lot at first, but I got used to it over time I guess. But you can bet your ass the next card I buy is NVidia again. I only have ATI now because it was a gift.
You'd think they ought to be able to outclass Intel on the on-board graphics side of things, at least. But even there all I hear is that Intel's latest are leaps and bounds better.
They have consistently outclassed Intel in the IGP sector, but with the latest 6xxx-series integrated GPU introduced in June, Intel has finally been able to surpass AMD's integrated GPU for gaming performance, which was one of AMD's last major strongholds.
