As of June 2014, our friends at GameSpy have ended all hosted game services. This has affected the online multiplayer aspect of one or more games in this collection. Because of technical challenges and concerns,we do not have a solution to keep these services up and running at this time,and online services for this game and other EA games on the GameSpy platform have ended. We are still investigating a range of options to restore official online functionality and multiplayer gameplay for these titles.
You can find more information on this change at ea.com, and find the full list of impacted games on our Online Service Updates page.

Did anyone else buy that pack? I'm just finishing downloading the last of them now, let's get some Hamachi action going. I say we play generals so half of us can be terrorists and the other half can be freedom-loving patriots or communist serfs

Suicide bombers in terrorists were the poo poo. That game was so much fun. Too bad I can't play it on a mac. My PC cooling fans are all hosed up and clicking because my god drat cat sheds so much hair the inside of the case looks like a giant furball.

It's a slow-rear end download, jfc.

Edit: Weird how every time I've got poo poo speeds, connecting to speedtest.net speeds it right up. Went from a 15 min download to about 30 seconds.

Edit2: Widescreen works. :)

Freespace was made by the same dudes who made the Descent games right? The only PC spaceship games I remember really playing were the X series. I still have X3 Albion Prelude but it's a pain in the rear end and not really that much fun starting out.

it's been about a year, is X Rebirth worth buying or should I hold out another 6 months?

So Driveclub has not only been fixed, but improved upon since launch. The developers released the free weather update today. Now isn't the time to let the launch woes stop you from picking it up. Driveclub is a tremendously good racer.

Those are actual screenshots taken from some Games goon using the share function. No photo mode or anything. That's what the game looks like in motion.

edit: They've also released 10 free cars and 4 new tracks too. More to come. They're throwing a bunch of content at the game now.

i've been looking at getting a new system too.
gtx980 is what i'd try to get for video card, intel cpu, & 16 or 24 gb of ram (because i run virtualization stuff too).
just looking for peoples feedback regarding 4k...right now no-one i know personally has 4k displays.

I think it's cool and expensive. If it were me, I'm more interested in having the hardware to power something like Oculus Rift rather than a 4K display. Budgeting out for either is essentially a wash because their hardware demands are nearly similar.

I'm pretty happy with a 1080p monitor for PC stuff, though. Cheaper to run.

gently caress man, vr googles have been a concept for a long time. 18 yr old games like mechwarrior 2 have settings/inputs for VR googles.

augmented reality is a cool concept,and i really want to see more hardware for it.

I'd love an OR if I knew my hardware supported it, especially for Elite. The only problem is that I wear glasses most of the time these days, and I don't want to pop in contacts every time I want to game.
