Oh how you make me laugh.

Interesting results. The game doesn’t look as visually impressive as Resident Evil 5. Then again, RE:5 was put out about 3 years later, so it’s somewhat unfair to compare the two. Using 190.38 Forceware, and settings were maxed (disabled AA, however).

I should note that the game boasts a Core 2 Quad logo at the beginning of the game when you start it. It also sports an nVidia logo.

Doesn’t look like anything special, but thought I might just point out what they look like. They were earlier mentioned in the official blog, since they hadn’t been around for quite a while.

1. Looks like Yamakan doesn’t know what he’s talking about after all regarding the length of Endless Eight.
2. Hopefully, everyone in Japan’ll be boycotting the sale of Endless Eight.
3. Kyoto Animation is saying as if Yamakan had nothing to do with their company. Bitter drama brewing now? He’s just telling it like it is, so piss off. If the DVDs don’t sell, it’s obvious why they don’t, good quality animation or not.

   Also for the record, there is a relationship between Yamakan and KyoAni.

Now if you haven’t gotten it yet, I suggest you do. Here’s my results for the Variable Benchmark:

Settings were 1680×1050, no AA, High on Shadows, Texture, and Overall Quality. Uncapped framerate, no V-Sync. ForceWare was the latest at time of writing, which is 186.18. Before I used 182.02 and CPU usage went from 90-100%, though the result then was 40.1 average FPS. 186.18 ForceWare puts it at most 80% CPU usage and 40.4 average FPS. I wonder if it has something to do with PhysX…

’nuff said.

Just went out today and found that there do exist knockoffs of model kits, like the 1/144 HG Exia. The labeling is instead in Chinese, and when you inspect the parts closely, you will notice that they are slightly deformed/damaged, and the parts have too much of a gloss. I’m pretty sure if you tried assembling the parts, they would be very likely to snap/break apart, etc.

Wow, Kyoto Animation is totally trolling people right now.
