The Arcade Random Thoughts Thread

It worked so far. I only added 2560x1440. So far it works but my framerate is just around 30 on hitman. I could adjust the in house ss probably. I tried conviction and that looked slightly better. I dont think my card could handle 4K.

My quick opinion on downsampling. I tried 2560x1440 and that worked fine. I then went all the way to the top and tried 3840x2160 (4K) and my screen turned black (just hit ESC). I managed to get 3200x1800 to work in Blacklist and Deadlight with no problems playing wise. Although I snapped a screen shot and Deadlight froze. I am going to go out on a limb and say that 3200x1800 might be a bit unstable for my system.

BUT overall I didnt see a big enough difference in graphic fidelity to warrant the change. I mean honestly it is a really quick thing to try out. I think I will just keep the 2560x1440 and use that. I took some screen shots but they didnt look a hell of a lot different than my 1080p ones. I might post them this weekend.

Here is the post I used as instructions - http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=509076

My Rig
i5-4670k (not overclocked)
8 GB 1600 RAM
GTX 760 2 GB DDR5
SSD

The GTX 760 with 4GB of ram might work better.

I'd like to see this as DLC:

Finished Hitman: Absolution and completed my first playthrough of Journey. Hitman would have been a much, much better game if it did not have such a horrendous checkpoint system. The idea that I have to seek out a checkpoint marker is absurd. I used a walkthrough for the majority of the last few missions, mainly because I didn't want to spend hours trial-and-erroring my way through the game. I just wanted to get it done and over with. Despite its flaws, I still had some fun with the game.

As for Journey, all I can say is 'Wow.' Other have said it and I'll say it again: if Journey isn't consider a work of art, then I don't know what art is. I got through the game in two sittings. Time flew by while playing this one.

interesting that Pach gets $0.00 for doing these videos.

Another surprise, I don't get paid for spreading my knowledge (or my legs) here at VSN.

I guess you're supposed to clean behind your TV once in a while, I moved the cables and stuff and got all the dust bunnies out and I think I actually found Jimmy Hoffa.

I started Journey. Beautiful game. I wish you could turn off co-op without having to sign out of PSN though. This is a game where I'd like to explore the environment and not have to worry about someone solving the puzzles before I've had a chance to even see them on my first playthrough.

I started DA: Origins again like a damn fool.

7 days until GTA V drops and I think I'll have enough time to speed run this RPG?

I must be crazy.

They actually caught me off guard on my 1st playthrough.

Wait so when another little robed guy shows up that is another player and not an AI?
