A Fresh Look At Multi-Screen PC Gaming 146
crookedvulture writes "It has been quite a while since Slashdot last covered multi-monitor gaming. A lot has changed in the interim. Monitors prices continue to fall, and improved AMD Eyefinity and Nvidia Surround implementations make creating multi-display arrays incredibly easy. Graphics cards have gotten faster, allowing high-end models to handle the latest games at the ultra-high resolutions that multi-screen setups enable. Developers are doing a better job of supporting those resolutions, too, although HUD placement and single-screen cinematics are still problematic in some titles. Even in the games that do have niggling flaws, the wider perspective of a triple-screen config can offer a more engaging and immersive experience. As stereoscopic 3D implementations fail to catch on, multi-screen setups look like the best upgrade for PC gamers."

Yeah, but the FPS for that platform all really suck.
And getting it to respawn is a real bitch!
Force feedback is very realistic, however.

I know it uses Pupil(tm) technology for high dynamic range. It's closed source and hard to crack but I'm pretty sure someone in Science already used it for wall hacks. Those guys are l33t.

That's why I had my gaming rig set up on the first floor. Problem solved.
It was damp down in the basement, anyway, and my mom's knees were beginning to give out, so I started having go get my own snacks. Who needs that kind of aggravation when you're capturing the flag?
On the down side, now I have less time to pull my pants up when I'm playing Bayonetta. Right?

Not really - you can't pick your race or class, most of the newb zones are poor, and there's no re-rolling.

Why would invest in such a setup when apparently PCs are dead, tablets are the future and so all this tech will be worthless in... (check's current technologist predictions)... about three months?
Now go away while I transfer all my personal data to the cloud. I hear we won't have a need for hard drives anymore soon either.
