I love the way Bethesda lets you look at character models in the load screen. It kind of gives you a taste of what Bethesda games would look like if they didn't look bad.

I am an idiot also. I ordered a 65" KS8000 on November 11th from an Amazon 3rd party seller for what seemed ungodly cheap, and of course it was too good to be true because as of today he still hadn't sent it from across the continent. So today I got it refunded, and decided to reserve an SUV car share and go to Best Buy downtown to pick up one because it's $1,100 Cdn off today and it's just another shopping day, right?

Six 65" KS8000s left, they say. I get the last spot in the Best Buy underground parking lot (if you can't park there you're hosed), and literally the last KS8000 in Vancouver even though it only took me 20 minutes to get there. Got it and brought it into my condo by myself. 65" tvs are big.

And now I'm posting on SA instead of checking it out.

Last time I was at that Best Buy, I was in a 100+ person line for the PSVR launch, and I already sold that. I think my brain is broken.

They had this in the PS3 version of Skyrim as well. It was hilarious. Like don't highlight how dogshit your game looks by throwing super high quality models on the loading screen

Speaking of Witness, I may as well ask this here:

In the desert, around the third level of the tomb, in the dark room where you can raise and lower the water level, can anyone provide a hint for the third panel? The previous ones had you reflecting light off the water reflections, but I can figure out how to get the reflection tell in that one.

It is the puzzle that originally made me rage quit the game.

In any case I think I will get Hitman on this. I already have the intro pack on PC, but this is a nice display.

I just finished that area last night! All the panels in that room except the one near the end use reflections. I just wandered around looking for the right spots. The later ones you will only get to see temporarily as the water is moving up or down

I got a Samsung KS8000 for myself yesterday, to go along with my Pro, because I am an impulsive idiot.

4K isn't a big jump as SD to HD was, but still is really nice. What is as big as a jump as SD to HD is having HDR. The Witness looks absolutely brilliant, and Ratchet and Clank, while not as a big a change as the former, still looks real good. Here is hoping that more games take advantage of HDR from here on out.

I had my expectations low but now that it's all hooked up even 1080p looks way better than my 2015 65" Samsung UN65H7150. I'm blown away. What is a huge, unexpected improvement though is the Tizen UI. It was garbage on my old tv, really slick on this one. Even recognizes Canadian stuff.

300 is on 1080p cable and is blowing my mind. And that's like early HD era. I think even my wife will appreciate this and she thinks I'm insane for caring about 4K.



That's 1080p. Now I gotta set up my stupid harmony remote again. God loving poo poo I hate that thing (until it works)

Just go to Multiplayer, click Co-Op, it'll typically launch you with a person doing a DeadSec event.

What game broke you so badly you invert the cameras x axis?

I don't know what game broke me into liking invert x. Could have been Jak and Daxter or it could have been Super Mario Sunshine(I think I could invert x in that.) or Beyond Good and Evil. Or it could have been from operating an ancient piece of technology called a tripod.

I might buy Hitman instead of Titanfall 2 just because of the invert x option. Invert X, in my mind, is superior to all framerates and control schemes and other asinine bullshit reasons for hating a video game. It is literally the only thing I care about in a 3D video game; first person or third (that doesn't have a fixed camera). I played a lot of games that don't let me have my way on PS3 and 4 but since this year I have decided to stop buying games that don't give me the options I want.

I've missed a lot of good games this year (Doom, Dishonored 2, Battlefied I guess, those other two I mentioned) but I'm happier playing games the way I like to without buying some xim adapter bullshit. For whatever reason Overwatch added the option in their game post release so I bought it. I've not played it much but it is pretty fun.

Lol- this was supposed to be a new post but whatever there's no reason to bump the thread for this.

There is no real reason to rush anyway unless you have money to burn. A lot of the cheaper sets have poo poo response time and poor HDR compatibility. 4K is the future, but right now it is not compelling at all unless you are the kind of person who pixel peeps and/or has to have the cutting edge.

Downsampling 4K to 1080, while not huge, does look pretty nice. It's essentially an anti-aliasing method. You can definitely tell when you switch back and forth in Tomb Raider.

does the empty pattern look like eight boxes in two lines with diagonal slashes through it or more of a hex like the others?

if its a hex just move around more and look at where it might reflect when the water is in the middle of changing

if its two rows of boxes then just go look up the solution. the reflection code is buggy and that ones not even solvable on all level of lighting detail settings and became solvable for me after i reloaded the game several times

Is that really a bug, like I only saw part of the reflection but it was enough to reduce the possible solutions to like 5 and I was able to brute force the answer. There have been a couple of puzzles that were like that so I thought it was normal
