This is great news! Finally we might get more access to new products months before release in the hardware department.

I remember one or two years ago some topic News saying "the PC is dead" or "gaming on PC is dead" because of consoles and tablets etc.... My laughts on that time were compensated!

Why do i have that feeling , AMD wants to do the same PR as Nvidia did before?

Of course it will be for PR. Why else would they sponsor an event like this otherwise? I am looking forward to seeing what the event is like. PC gaming desperately needs rejuvenation. Will we see big name titles announced for the PC only? Unlikely. What we might see are some good orignal fresh titles on show.

This is pretty awesome.

I wonder if the 390X will make an appearance.

"PC Gaming", based solely on the number of quality titles currently available for the PC, not to mention the huge library of back-titles available (I've got games more than 20 years old that run beautifully under Win10 x64/Dosbox), has never been better or stronger...! People often forget that even during a bad sales year, PCs sell at the rate of 45,000,000 or so in just six weeks--which is more than PS4/xBone combined have sold since they started shipping, to put some perspective on it. PC Gaming is stronger than it has ever been, in fact. We could add in the huge volumes of Kickstarters for PC exclusives, etc. There are a few developers like EA who love to put out mediocre games and charge $60-$70 a pop to console buyers, developers who don't like to ship for the PC because their software for the PC stinks compared to the developers who do things right on the PC. Whereas PC buyers have mountains of game software to sort through at their leisure, console buyers otoh are always hungry for games--and are generally much less discerning in terms of the metrics most PC'ers use in comparing games--which makes them fat targets for unscrupulous developers. What I can't figure in that list is Bleszinski. He's far more of a PR spin man than he's ever been a "developer", and he has written many a long post about the "evils of the PC" in years past (both Sweeney and Carmack are long in the tooth and have to restrict their programming to the simplistic world of consoles because their games just don't hold up under the withering competition of the current PC games' marketplace.) But the PC is on such an ascendant track in recent years (PS4 & xBone are *both* low-end x86 AMD PCs, literally) that not even someone like Bleszinski can afford to cast sour grapes on the PC market anymore. I don't know of anything he has to say that I'd find of interest, but when even a console shill like Bleszinski is clamoring to be heard in the PC-games' space today--you know the PC market is healthy, indeed!

That would sure be nice

My thoughts in seeing this was that it might be released during the show. *crosses fingers*

Console gaming is not the same. You're pretty much stuck with one or two games every console release that are any good or have any reply value. PC gaming is so much bigger and by far better. DX12 / Mantle will be what really brings new great PC titles. There are so many different types of games already and now they will just be getting better and bigger. I started playing PC games when I built my first PC when StarCraft was released. I played that game alone for many years. Now around 20 years later I must say that I've had so much fun with so many different people. I'm playing ArcheAge, CS:GO, Battlefield 4, TF:2, StarCraft 2 and many other games there are just to much to list. My next upgrade will be the AMD 390X and a good IPS type FreeSync monitor. Then again my Gigabyte r9 290 OC Edition is playing everything fine. I'll just have to see.

PC 2 confirmed!
