Quite surprised at that, but excited nonetheless. Hopefully it’s more akin to the Spider-Man game than the disaster that was the Avengers game.

I have 3 in my attic and the amazing floppy drive that came with it. Elite and Mercenary were my childhood. And Dropzone, Starquake, Thing on a Spring, Zoids, Last Ninja etc etc etc

I used to have this problem too. A couple things that helped me was to crank up the field of view as high as it could go and turning off motion blur.
I do not have issues with racing games (unless with racing in Dirt Rally putting on the VR headset). I get sick very quickly in perceived confined space, e.g. tunnels, corridors (basically anything indoors)…For outdoors type FPS, it would take a bit longer but eventually, my face would turn green with stomach churning.
turn on vsync in graphics settings and get a good card that doesn’t allow the game to get choppy…

Looking at a new rig - hopefully should have the cash by early Nov but looking at prices it would seem the difference is hard to justify going for 16 meg RAM compared to 8.
For Comparisson purposes
A decent gaming 8GB RAM pc is £681 at pcworld where as to go to 16GB you are looking at just short of £1K.
I had a quick look at additional RAM and can get 2 x 8GB RAM for less than £70 so adding that to the 8GB option works out massively cheaper, but my question is how hard or difficult is it to install extra RAM yourself?

I’m glad they are taking their time over it, to minimise the risk of game breaking bugs. Cathay look fun from the video - a mix of various existing factions with their unit types. Also, that video looked like we have our second chaos faction - Tzeentch!
I’ve always been a bit of a Khorne fanboy, but I love using magic, so Tzeentch may be what I want to play.
It’s easy, just need to make sure you match it with your existing and have the right slots on your motherboard.
Are you based in the UK? I got my PC from Scan, they are really good and have excellent support.

Yeah, London based
So how do you work out if it matches your existing and what slots to use?
Basically match the DDR (number 3 / 4 etc.) and frequency (in mhz).
Personally if you want 16gb, I’d find a PC supplier who you can ring and ask them to add it during the build so it’s all tested and supported.
The price jump you said is pretty big, are you sure the Graphics card’s are the same? They are typically the biggest amount of expense in a PC at the mo.
Hmm, that is a good question, I didn’t check the graphics card
Just done a compare on the 3 options so the graphics cards have a 2GB difference - not sure how big an impact that would have as I know nothing about graphic cards
The 1660 is much better, I think you can go beyond 1080 hdmi with it for example (better resolution). Graphics cards are insane at the moment because they are being used on mass to mine bitcoin!
Also has a 2tb HDD for storage which is useful.
If you are gaming, GFX card is your biggest thing to get the best as you can afford. the difference you would see between having 8gb of ram v’s 16 isn’t as much as you’d see in a game with a better gfx card etc.
Priority is;
GFX Card
SSD for a hdd (512gb prefered)
CPU
RAM

I’m using a 1660 Super myself. Luckily, got it for a decent price right before the covid/bitcoin GPU shortage hit. You can play just about anything on high graphic settings with it (1080p@60fps). And that’s with an old CPU (i5-3570k) bottlenecking it. Worth the price difference imo.
