PlanetSide 2 Gameplay Walkthrough

Check out this summary of the PlanetSide 2 GDC presentation. PlanetSide still is my favorite MMO I have ever played, and this is the one new MMO I am looking forward to this year. Make sure you sign up for the beta. I already have my key, now they just need to release it.

Nvidia’s GTX 680 Released

Nvidia released the GeForce GTX 680 Kepler GPU today. “With Kepler we wanted not only to build the world’s fastest GPU, but also the world’s most power efficient,” said Nvidia’s James Wang.

The company says the GTX 680 introduces two major changes: A completely redesigned streaming multiprocessor and a new GPU Boost feature to increase clock speeds. It also draws “at most” 195 watts of power compared to 244 watts on the GeForce GTX 580.

Last year Epic Games showed off its next-gen target demo Samaritan running on three GTX 580s. That same demo now runs on a single GTX 680 with power to spare.

The card is available from $499 to $530, but is sold out everywhere. NVIDIA says that the supply will get better in the weeks and months ahead, so expect to wait a bit if you didn’t already get one.

Battlestar Galactica: Blood & Chrome Trailer

Blood & Crome is intended as a more action-heavy BSG prequel than Caprica, set during the first Human/Cylon war and focused on the adventures of William Adama (Luke Pasqualino) when he was a young pilot.

Update: Apparently the trailer that hit earlier today was an unofficial demo reel that wasn’t intended for the public. It was shown at WonderCon last weekend, but NBCUniversal has since removed all vestiges of it from YouTube.
