My thoughts? Well I was super excited for the game despite knowing next to nothing about the Warhammer universe but as it's TW's first fantasy game I thought it was a nice change of scenery. However after learning a few things about the game, such as 20 unit army's as a max now(meaning can't reinforce), I'm not to sure about it. This changes a whole dynamic to the core gameplay that's been around for years and it's a step in the wrong direction.

Im so hyped for this! Can't wait.

I'm still playing warhammer online "return of reckoning" on the free private servers.

Well they have already shown the moment you step out of the vault and what you see which I'm a little saddened by as it was one of the defining moments in Fallout 3.

I had a very sneaky peak and must say the graphics look very dated. Actually worse than I had anticipated. However, it's Fallout 4, so I know I won't care :D

That was very LOL worthy, "We wont be spoiling anything", spoils the whole beginning of the game :D I actually really regret seeing that but the whole presentation was too good to miss!

Yep I agree completely, hell I played Skyrim day 1 on an XBOX 360 so I know it wont be that bad!

Which vid is safe to watch?Wanna take a look and see exactly what you mean, either way nothing that wont be resolved by some talented people in the modding community hopefully.
 
I think it's the last one. It shows a computer being hacked old skool FO3. Looks like the player is in a vault (as there are mutants around) but can't be sure.

I'm not going to look at it again tbh as has been mentioned I don't want to ruin my experience.

I had a look for about 20 seconds, I agree some of the textures look a little washed out, hopefully some AA+AF will make them pop a bit more, although the models of the Super Mutant for example look waaaay better, i'm also really digging on the loot system, mega improvement!
 
It appears that Blizzard Entertainment has big plans for its old games. As spotted by NeoGAF, the company has created a new "Classic Games" division and has started hiring for it.

An open position for a senior software engineer specifically mentions StarCraft (1998), Warcraft III (2002), and Diablo II (2000) as games that Blizzard is looking to "restore to glory."

Blizzard has provided the following statement to GameSpot on the matter.

"We need engineers to help maintain our legacy games. We have a history of maintaining our games for many years. Our earlier games are still played and enjoyed today, so we want to continue to maintain them for those communities."

AMD and GlobalFoundaries today announced the first successful samples of 14nm FinFET chips using the higher powered LPP compared to the previous 14nm LPE varient which is about 10% slower than the newer LPP design. It's not been confirmed if this is a CPU/APU/GPU chip but AMD has disclosed that they have taped out many 14nmLPP design to GloFo.

My impression: Considering AMDs FAB history, GloFo is generally there go to CPU/APU for chips and TSMC is generally for there GPUs; however, also considering AMD have stated that Zen won't be until Q4 2016/Q1 2017 it's far more likely to be an APU/GPU. Nothing afaik for APUs is confirmed for a Q2 2016 launch whereas the GPUs are rumored for a late Q2/Early Q3 iirc. With GloFo entering mass production early next year it could be very well a GPU launch. I wouldn't be surprsied if it was consdering they need to catch up in sales to Nvidia and if Nvidia go down the TSMC route like rumored, they will go 16nm. The 14nm node should prove a huge marketing advantage and more than likely a performance advantage as well. I think the only thing holding back a next gen GPU from AMD, is when HBM2 becomes available.

So concluding, I think it's a very likely GPU but at worst is an APU that they are being tight lipped about. Unless they are lieing about Zen and it indeed comes out middle of next year. Which would be quite awesome since the hype around it is quite high.
