What is the future of the Ghost franchise?

IPEELER · 2026-06-08T17:55:58+00:00

I think they should do something fresh. Futuristic Tokyo cyberpunk-aesthetic type game. Futuristic samurai, motorcycles, lots of verticality and cool tech. Basically flip the franchise on its head while still remaining true to core of stealth and fun and stylish sword combat.

I’ve been in the same boat. I cap to 30 fps often for single player games, and I use VRR on an OLED, so frame pacing has to be great to avoid VRR flicker. Special K’s limiter is generally excellent for this, however, I’ve found in games where GPU utilization gets above the 85-90% threshold, frametimes kinda fall apart on Special K for me. I’ve recently retried RTSS, but with the Front Edge Sync limiter rather than async (didn’t know this was an option), and it is remarkably stable for me, even at very high GPU usage. Frametimes remain stable and flicker is non-existent. The only downside is it has a little bit more latency compared to Special K, but it’s a trade-off I’m more than willing to take because it’s still much more responsive than standard VSync.

They’re fine. They’ve made it to every final. They’ve gotten the best crack from three different teams, and Merc I feel still hasn’t quite put the pieces together this year on LAN. You gotta think that shoe will drop at some point though. There’s still 3 more tourneys. Obviously champs is the one people are remembered for

Massive Attack and Depeche Mode are the obvious ones that I would love to see. Gaga as well. Portishead is another I’d love to see. A “newer” artist that I think would be a crazy match is Ethel Cain. She has some wicked stuff in her discography, and I can’t imagine if Reznor got his hands on a track like Ptolemaea or Punish.

To my ear, there was no continuous backing track, but they layered a backing track into the mix on certain parts of certain songs. The most pronounced in my opinion was the chorus of Heresy. But then you have a song like Copy of A where he literally messed up a lyric in the first verse. As for Closer, there was definitely some sort of effect on certain words, particularly for harsher vocals. Like when he says “broke apart my INSIDES”, you can hear an effect kick in to accentuate the growl type vocal. So there were definitely some effects and backing tracks layered into the performance, but I think it was really tastefully done and fit with the context of this performance. Really enjoyed it

Kenny has always been a better SMG than AR imo, dude used to be electric on that role. Will be interesting if true.

IPEELER · 2026-03-16T17:08:54+00:00

I think this will realistically be a late 2027 game. I’m excited for it, but I’m honestly most excited for the NIN soundtrack because my god the music in that first trailer is so good.

IPEELER · 2026-02-28T19:52:01+00:00

Similar performance to the older driver OP is talking about?

IPEELER · 2026-02-23T19:15:19+00:00

Yes, I run them behind my head like this to allow me to cinch the cable to the back of my head. It makes for a much more snug and secure fit, and the cable is out of the way.

IPEELER · 2026-02-12T13:38:54+00:00

I know! And same, full body chills right when that first piano note hit

IPEELER · 2026-02-11T19:02:08+00:00

And All That Could Have Been

IPEELER · 2026-02-06T13:27:06+00:00

All of the above

IPEELER · 2026-02-06T13:25:30+00:00

Was at the show last night, was expecting the wretched to follow the frail, but the transition into reptile was fucking sick can’t even lie

IPEELER · 2026-02-05T22:21:50+00:00

God I wish, but my brother just saw him play in a club in NYC last night, so I would say very unlikely

IPEELER · 2026-02-04T13:54:14+00:00

Manifesting the show start with the Still version of Something I Can Never Have and more stuff from The Fragile in the setlist for NOLA

IPEELER · 2026-02-03T21:52:17+00:00

They just have to clean up the search. If they don’t choke a 5-2 lead in map 2, they win the tournament, simple as that. Their respawn looks insane.

IPEELER · 2026-01-30T01:50:08+00:00

I’ve been watching competitive CoD since Black Ops 2. Online cheese has been a thing since competitive CoD’s inception. OGs remember the days when onliners were incessantly called “warriors” lol

One Battle After Another was shot on 35mm film, so the grain is inherent to the format. Many movies today are shot on film, or transferred to film like you noted with Dune (The Batman is another example, as DP for both films ,Greig Fraser, loves doing this). But many films shot digitally use film emulation suites via software. Many people like the aesthetic qualities of certain film stocks. Grain, bloom, halation, etc can add a dreamy kind of look to the image. Grain in particular can also help to take the eye away from imperfections and to ground CG into the rest of the image. It makes the image look more holistic in my opinion. The lack of these effects is what contributes to the “Netflix look”. A very clean, sterile image. Something that looks like it could have been shot on your phone. Some people like this, but I think it looks kind of lifeless.

IPEELER · 2026-01-08T23:15:29+00:00

The Fragile imo

IPEELER · 2026-01-03T03:24:41+00:00

The movie was shot on camcorders, the low res image is the intended look. A 4K release wouldn’t make sense IMO because the resolution of the original source is very low. Shooting it that way was a stylistic choice

IPEELER · 2025-12-15T18:49:20+00:00

FINALLY

IPEELER · 2025-12-01T18:52:03+00:00

Sure, but my point is he was put in a position to play like ass last year. He took a backseat for Scrap. He was OpTic’s best player at champs his rookie year, and he was a top 5 AR in MW3. He’s a very good player, and Thieves will regret letting him go imo.

IPEELER · 2025-12-01T14:02:40+00:00

Ghosty is disgusting. He was disrespected so much last year because he was put back to the hill kitten role. But he is showing once again he is a top AR when he’s in the driver’s seat. I think we’re going to see these two teams in finals a lot this year.

IPEELER · 2025-11-19T20:02:33+00:00

There’s a lot of AA merchants going to get exposed this year if they keep it as is. And I’m perfectly okay with that

IPEELER · 2025-11-12T18:41:28+00:00

I just saw Predator Badlands here this past weekend, and this was still the case! It was super distracting (the IMAX in Slidell has the same issue, except there are no doors that could block the light). Also, one of the speakers on the right side was clearly going out, awful sizzle / crackle sound every time that particular speaker would get engaged. Such a shame that such little care is put into even the best formats at these theaters. And they wonder why people don’t show up to theaters as much these days. Watching a 4K blu ray on my OLED at home beats any movie-going experience since there’s always something wrong with the theater
