This is the (extended universe) way.

I've only bought one of the books since the Disney buyout, Dark Discipline. Time to start buying

I completely forgot this was shot against screens rendering UE4. I don't think I want to watch how it's made or look for the screens, that'll ruin it for me. Only one shot looked ropey, where it was zoomed in on a speeder and then pulled back for a wider shot. Lighting looked weird. Anyway, I can't begin to articulate how much this has rekindled my Star Wars fanboyism. This year has just dragged me down and after finally watching Rise of Skywalker the other day, I wondered if I was just growing out of it or something. Nope! Just down in the dumps and needing a kick up

I think we tend to forget how bad older stuff looks. I mean, think back to PCs of the era and now say the above footage looks as bad as that. Even conceptually, that makes no sense. I mean, even 360 stuff given a few extra fps on the XB1 can look rough as guts. But yeah, streaming is the issue here.

Fuck yeah. God I love this show.

I'm not putting my lips on that.

In which we learn of more Blade Runner.

Wait, Sony own Funimation? We resubscribed the other day for a specific anime, the app is so much better. Wife and I agreed, again, that we wished Funimation would buy out Crunchyroll. Their app has sucked since the get go. Constantly logs me out on any device, sucks on Xbox, PS4, Fire TV, 4k Roku sticks, anything. But their simulcast catalog and other stuff is brilliant, so you can't not have it if you're into this stuff. Anyway, I hope the first thing Sony does is fix the damn app. Edit - I should read the article first See, these mergers and a

Cast your memory back to AC Black Flag and how much it looked like last gen in high resolution. Not as remotely good looking as Origin or Odyssey. That's Valhalla, probably.

We knew months ago that this was their strategy. Maybe we need a strategy thread? Merits of well defined generations vs blurry lines, etc. edit - you know what, I'm absolutely sorry. Try as one might, there's no way to deescalate this. Just going to check in on Darren's morning countdown pep talk and avoid stuff for a bit. Maybe we'll all be happier once we have a new tech box our TV stands.

Subjective. Not unreasonable, but entirely subjective. I'm stoked for 4k@60 NMS, deliberately missed the mid gen refresh.

Sounds like we're going to have to eat this one, guessing software is easier to delay than hardware. That's on top of Microsoft's differing approach.

Could someone explain the Xbox connection? What's the difference between the two that was announced today?

What's the PS5 launching with? Genuinely paying no attention. Are there typically a lot of launch titles that aren't cross gen? I'm too old to remember. Given Microsoft's approach is quite different, I wonder how atypical Sony is being, covid aside.

Megathreads mean we keep having these same discussions that you rightly out we can have.
