Re: Rumour: Switch Pro To Offer 'Surface-Style' Tabletop Flap, USB 3.0 And Ethernet Connectivity

@Heavyarms55 how can they have anything concrete unless it is actually announced by Nintendo themselves. You do realise it's people who actually work within Nintendo who leak out information right. Bloomberg and Eurogamer are not just making this stuff up. Why are you still in denial about this? Bloomberg and Eurogamer are credible. Switch pro is happening, fighting it tooth and nail is pointless!

@khululy who did Britain pay compensation to when slavery was abolished. Not the slaves they made millions from. The British were happy to pay off the slave owners so is it any surprise decedent's of slaves feel they should receive something. Oh and the fact that descendents of slaves in Britain saw there taxes help pay off Britain's debt which it borrowed to pay slave owners is immoral on so many levels.

I like what JP Morgan did. This is a step in the right direction.

J.P. Morgan Chase filed a disclosure statement with the city of Chicago on January 20 acknowledging that between 1831 and 1865, two of J.P. Morgan Chase’s predecessor banks – Citizens Bank and Canal Bank in Louisiana – accepted approximately 13,000 slaves as collateral for loans and ended up owning approximately 1,250 of them as a result of defaults.

The company apologized on its Web site and to employees and said it will provide $5 million over five years for full tuition for African American undergraduates from Louisiana to attend college in their home state.”

@Arkay I know every race owned slaves. Just making it clear that ending it after 400 years is not an achievement to be proud of. Wether it's whites, Blacks, Asians etc etc. Then to pay compensation to the slave owners rather than the slaves. Ultimate kick in the teeth.

This last bit is where the UK don't mention when they are whitewashing there history. freed slaves were compelled to provide 45 hours of unpaid labour each week for their former masters, for a further four years after their supposed liberation. Truly disgusting!

@Arkay nobody is saying non white peeps should be hired in race alone. What we want to see is non white peeps just get an interview.

I remember a study group a few years ago created multiple CV's identical in skills and grades. Each CV had a traditional white full name, black full name and Latino full name. They sent all of them off to different companies who were hiring. Guess which CV's were invited to interview? A simple study like that showed the blatant racism which exists.

Re: Samsung To "Aggressively Position" OLED Tech Across Promising Market Sectors Including "Gaming Console Segments"

@Mr-Fuggles777 you do realise lots of the population don't want to sign into a pay monthly console plan and rather buy outright. Using low interest credit to support your argument is laughable. Having people buy expensive items on low interest credit is not a good thing and to use that as a supporting argument is ridiculous.

How anyone can think that Nintendo releasing a handheld at the prices you quote would be a good business decision is astonishing. Who cares that the machine would bomb massively as long as you get your super high end Nintendo games console.

Re: Video: Here's Digital Foundry's Technical Analysis Of Crash Bandicoot 4 On Switch

@Nintendo4Sonic poor performance! How is stable 30fps poor performance? The base PS4 version was uncapped 60fps and has performance issues. Should have been locked to 30fps. I downloaded for switch last night and the game is great.

@WallyWest of course a portable console launched 4 years ago isn't as powerful as an base Xbox one. That was never gonna be possible 4 years ago.

Re: Talking Point: Here's Why You Shouldn't Be Worried About The Rumoured Switch Pro's 720p Screen

@lokozar did you honestly just say that 1080p resolution on smartphones has no compromise on battery? You obviously are not talking about gaming I hope. If you are not talking about gaming it's totally irrelevant. Now if you are talking about mobile gaming you are not correct at all.

Go play PUBG on your phone right now with full graphical settings. Let me know how long your battery lasts or if the phone overheats before battery drain.

Look forward to seeing your play test results

Re: Review: Hellpoint - A Sci-Fi Soulslike Which Suffers From Hellish Technical Issues On Switch

@TheFullAndy I just try and look at the situation the developers were under. Multiple release with 7 people not easy and people should stop putting blame all on developers.
Nobody knows what time constraints they were put on by the publishers. For all we know the Devs didn't want to release the games at the time they were released but the publishers said no delay. Or maybe the engine for consoles was just a bridge too far for the Devs to optimize fully and they just couldn't achieve the results they wanted.

Doesn't mean they put in all the work they possibly could. I don't understand why the gaming industry is treated by some totally different than the real world. The concept that every developer should be the very best and shoddy products shouldn't exist is just not realistic at all.

Also shoddy software has existed since day 1 and will continue to exist as some people are just better than others at what they do. that's no different than any other industry.
