Lobbying for Homeworld

Submitted by skipclarke on 2 May, 2013 - 14:06

As you may have heard, Gearbox Software purchased the Homeworld franchise IP from the new defunct THQ. In a news recent news post THQ outlined their plans to "preserve and assemble the purest form of the original acclaimed and beloved games." They also state that they will make the games available on the "leading digital platforms". I'm guessing this means GOG and Steam.

THQ has invited gamers to visit the Gearbox Software Forums and let them know what you'd like to see done with the franchise. Based on our current research, widescreen support in Homeworld can be achieved by a Registry edit; both widescreen and multi-monitor support in Homeworld 2 are achieved by an .ini edit.

I've started a thread in the Gearbox Software Forums about native support for widescreen, multi-mon and 21:9. Please jump in and lend your support.

This video describes what makes this a good game for multi-monitor gamers. I also go into how PC gaming is better than console gaming.

My first real video.

I've finally started making videos about games. This is first of many that, hope you guys like it. Wouldn't mind some feedback.

It's about the surround features in Project 64, but focusing solely on Zelda Ocarina Time so that I can do other games on the N64 Platform. Enjoy.

New User Badges in WSGF Forum

Submitted by skipclarke on 28 April, 2013 - 20:48

We are pleased to announce that we now have user badges (AMD Eyefinity, NVIDIA Surround, S-3D, 21:9, and more) in the WSGF forum, which you can assign to yourself. This has been a long time coming, and something that we've wanted since the last time we were on phpBB. Problem is that phpBB doesn't natively support this behavior.

Luckily our faithful admin Delphium has kicked phpBB in bollocks and made it do what we wanted (and what it should have done in the first place). Read on for more details and to see how to add your badges.

AMD Releases Radeon HD 7990

Submitted by skipclarke on 24 April, 2013 - 14:51

Today AMD lifted the embargo on information regarding the Radeon HD 7990 launch. Unfortunately we weren't able to secure a review sample prior to the launch, but have been assured that we will receive one shortly.

The card is basically 2x Radeon HD 7970 GHz Editions smooshed into one package. The card is clocked at base 950Hz, with a boost of 1GHz. It boasts 6GB of VRAM and five outputs (4x Mini-DP + 1DL-DVI). The card was also designed to be virtually silent, and clocks in quieter than a library. The card also comes with seven high-profile AAA games in the box, which can help reduce the pain of its $999 price tag.

Included are slides from the press deck that AMD shares with us on their recent conference call. Click them to embiggen.
