Calling on you gamers

[Grebel]

Gaming headsets....

 

My son was using a Turtle Beach Recon 200 up until a few weeks ago. LHS stopped working. Took it back and got a refund so now we are looking at replacements. What are you guys using?

 

I am looking for the following:

 

At least 5.1 surround 

Mic that flips out the way (Also mutes when you flip it) Not convinced by the Steel Series type mic that slips into the headset

Robust enough to not be destroyed by a 10 year old

Doesn't need to be charged

 

If most need charging then we'll just replace with another Turtle Beach headset.

It probably took 20 tries for me to get that far. 

It doesn't look like it but the game controls are really hard to get use to.

There is a link to the kickstarter in my video.

With instructions on how to play the demo.

Game is set for release some time this year.

For now you can wish list it on Steam.

I see Sony and Microsoft have signed some sort of agreement or joint venture.

Wonder what it is about......

It's about using Microsoft Azure Cloud Services to host your online gaming profiles and whatnot, as well as game services.

 

I am not sure if you know that we now have Azure Cloud Services data centres in Cape Town and Joburg.

Did not know this. 

 

But is is a bit weird asking your opposition to render a service to you.

Like Apple using Samsung to manufacture screens for it's phones?

Look at it this way: Microsoft will still be making money out of Sony even if you decide to purchase a Playstation instead of an XBox.

YES!!

YES!!

 

Yes, but gaming on 8K is currently a no-no. I know of no setup currently that even support 4K at refresh rates higher than 120.

Exactly, seems a bit of a stretch. The latest and best PC hardware can't push 8K above something like 15fps, so how the hell will a console coming out next year be able to do that?

 

I understand optimisation and all of that, but surely 60fps at 8K is a bit of a stretch.

 

If it can, expect a R10 000+ price tag

As long as GRRM is directly involved in writing the script, and not those idiots that went nuts with the TV series. They stuffed that one up 6 luv.
