73.) Photorealism Now Possible

       Check out this amazing real-time cinematic produced by Quixel in the video above called Rebirth. It harnesses the power of Unreal Engine and real-world scans from the Megascans Icelandic collection. With photorealistic results rivaling traditional offline renderers, Rebirth represents a new way of crafting computer graphics. Set in the beautiful, other-worldly landscapes of Iceland, Rebirth brought together a team from VFX, games and ArchViz to produce a cinematic asking existential questions of machine/human hybrids. I remember watching watching cut-scenes and pre-rendered footage in games and I would think "one day games might look this good!" Now this is not only a reality, but we have exceeded that. We have reached a new milestone with photorealism! This video below was possible in real-time with at 60 FPS (Frames-Per-Second) on mainstream hardware with a single 1080Ti graphics card. The question I have is will it be possible to run this in real-time on lesser advanced hardware in the future?

72.) The Glory Days of Xbox Live

71.) God of War 4 Wins Game of the Year 2018!!!

       God of War 4 and its creators are living proof that single-player games aren’t dead. In this new age of greed taking over the gaming industry, it proves that you don't need overpriced DLCs and microtransactions to make a good game. It’s one of the few new next-gen games that didn't ruin the gaming experience. 

Here’s a list: 

-No controversies 

-No DLC at launch 

-No microtransactions 

-No day one patches 

-Rarely any bugs  

       This game truly delivered! It was a masterpiece of great gameplay, story and narrative. In my humble opinion, it totally deserves this award. 

70.) Xbox 360 Emulation on PC

       Ben Vanik has created an open source research project that allows anyone to emulate Xbox 360 games on modern PCs. Check out the game compatibility list for currently tracked games and feel free to contribute your own updates. If your favorite game isn't working on Xenia, the best way to prioritize it would be to find it in the game compatibility list and give the OP a thumbs up reaction. This allows the developers to find popular games quickly.

67.) How can Xbox Make a Comeback?

       E3 2018. is upon us and Microsoft has a chance to revitalize their console and reinvigorate the interest of fans at  Below are some key ideas I have shared  

Make Online Free for Silver like PC

       I completely agree with the video above in making Xbox Live multiplayer access free just like Windows 10 PC. What if you didn't have to pay to chat with friends online or player multiplayer games together? I'm not a fanboy in any way but one crucial thing I'd like to point out is once your PlayStation Plus membership is cancelled or ends, content you previously downloaded at no cost as part of the membership (such as Monthly Games) are no longer available. So I hesitate to call these games free because you can't keep plus games after the subscription runs out. Sony is essentially leasing games. However, free avatars and content you purchased at a discounted PlayStation Plus price is yours to keep. Whereas if you run out of Xbox Live Gold, the free games that you downloaded with that membership is yours forever even if your Gold expires. Currently, I am a silver member and I can still keep and play all the games I had with gold. More people will buy Xbox if online was free. That being said, Microsoft needs to make a comeback in the exclusive games department.
