Site Update: New GPU Model database for our user PC info & statistics system

Quoting: liamdawe
Quoting: ShmerlThe closest to my GPU listed is Radeon RX 480, while really mine is Sapphire Nitro+ RX 480. It uses the same chip, but its clocking is higher than stock Radeon. I guess it's not a major detail though.
It's still the 480, would be a different matter if there were models with different physical features (like VRAM).
It can matter if you compare performance for example. But for current statistical purposes, just the chip model should be OK.

I mostly meant that it references that Tim didn't even know about the sequel first.

Quoting: CheesenessRight, there was preproduction work done on at least two iterations that I know of (this Bill Tiller interview [External Link] touches on both of those), but neither of those had Tim's involvement - he heard about it via rumour in the office and that eventually played a role in him leaving LucasArts (touched on in this interview [External Link]).
Yep, I remember that Bill Tiller interview, it's pretty good. Here is also a good article [External Link] about what happened to the sequel (it also talks about the history of Full Throttle itself).

Quoting: CheesenessI can't speak for Double Fine on that front, but I think it's pretty safe to say that there's zero chance of BL2 being on the table before Psychonauts 2 ships. With BL2 being such an expensive game (music licencing costs alone would be astronomical), it's possible that it'd never get made. That said, who knows what might happen in the future if the stars align right!
I'm actually more interested in the sequel to Full Throttle :) It was originally planned in various forms, but never materialized.

And, can Double Fine make some deal with Disney to release classic Full Throttle as a free bonus for those who buy the remastered game? It will allow playing it in ScummVM wherever it runs :)

Heh. I didn't realize I already have it on GOG :) When did I even buy it? Or may be it's one of the sales bonuses?

Great! I'll buy on GOG. Did Double Fine consider open sourcing their remastered engines?

It's good that Epic are involved, but it seems they aren't actively working on the Linux version of Unreal Engine itself.

Will it help Star Citizen, or Lumberyard is now independent from Cry Engine?
