Developer Quantic Dream has shared PC release dates for its previously PlayStation-exclusive narrative adventures Heavy Rain, Beyond: Two Souls, and Detroit: Become Human - and all three will be getting demos ahead of launch.

First up is Quantic Dream's pulpy serial killer crime drama Heavy Rain, which arrives on PC - or more specifically the Epic Games Store, given Quantic's decision to restrict sales to Epic's shop - on June 24th. It'll cost $19.99 USD (around £15), but if you fancy taking it for a test-drive before slapping your money on the table, a demo launches on 24th May.

Beyond will also cost $19.99 USD (still around £15) when it comes to PC on 22nd July, and its demo arrives on 27th June.

Last up on the PC release front is Quantic Dream's most recent offering, the rights-for-robots sci-fi thriller Detroit: Become Human. This one, is scheduled to release some time this autumn for $39.99 USD (around £30) and there's a demo coming at a non-specific future point this "summer".

The only thing missing is the $4000 laserdisc player from 1988.

"Samsung is ahead of TSMC in GAA by probably 12 months. Intel is probably two to three years behind Samsung. The smaller 3-nanometre footprint will boost speed performance by 35% while consuming 50% less power. These power savings and performance boosts come from reducing the chip size by 45%."

"A further refinement for higher-performance chips, like graphics processors and AI chips used in data centres should arrive in 2022."

I love what you bring here but please post links.

I like to see sources and might want more context from the article.

Can anyone recommend a mid tower case in the $100-$120 range.

Build will consist of:

Asus - ROG STRIX Z390-E GAMING ATX LGA1151 Motherboard
Intel - Core i5-9600K 3.7 GHz 6-Core Processor
Noctua - NH-D15S 82.52 CFM CPU Cooler
Asus - GeForce RTX 2070 8 GB STRIX GAMING Advanced Video Card

Just want to make sure I don't have any airflow issues. Looking at the Fractal Design - Meshify C ATX Mid Tower Case. This will be my first build and have all of my components picked out, but deciding on the case is giving me fits.

Any reason you're going with such an expensive motherboard?

It has built in wifi and had decent reviews. Do you have any suggestions for a good wifi motherboard with better value?

Edit: Do you plan on overclocking?

No, and Yes.

So I need to move my cable modem upstairs. Got it. So should wifi not even be a consideration?

If your doing competitive gaming, then yes, I wouldn’t even consider WiFi.

Also, if you don't plan on OC'ing, you can bump down to a locked i5 and much cheaper mobo and possibly jump up to a 2080

Do you think the Ryzen Zen 2 will be a game changer?

Interesting. I am going to play around with some configurations on UserBenchmark.
