E3 06 - What Should We Cover?

[CaptNKILL]

If this hasnt been mentioned yet, I have one big request.

Any booths that you visit, you have to ask this question if you get a chance:

Will there be a performance benefit from dual core CPUs? If so, how much?

Whether its a game, or a piece of hardware, Im really curious. So far I havent been too impressed with what I've seen as far as Dual Core performance enhancements, and its the only thing my system is lacking at the moment. I have to know if I should have $300 reserved in my bank account to get the next gen games running better :D

Great idea...We will be sure to do that! Only problem is I think we will get "Oh, dual corez are teh kix azz" (if they support it), or "Oh, dual core? No, that isn't necessary. Our engine is built so good we don't need 2 cores" (if they dont support it)...ROFL :D

Yeah I think there are very very few people in the industry thatd give you a straight, non-biased answer about something like that, but still, its worth it to ask. I doubt anyone would out right lie.

Maybe you should ask about PPU usage as well as Creative X-Fi or EAX in new titles as well. It doesnt seem like any new games are taking advantage of the X-Fi at all. Im still seeing "EAX 2" check boxes in games... what the hell? Thats been around for like 6 years :p

I guess itd be worth it to some to ask about wide screen support too.

These are all just general things that could apply to all games of course. If you have the opportunity itd probably be a very good thing to keep track of all of these for each game. Heck, do a check list:

*Game title*
Dual Core optimized: yes\no
PPU enabled: yes\no
X-Fi enhanced: yes\no
wide screen support: yes\no
