That Genesis kit looks like it could power a nuclear submarine!

darthv723675d ago

That would be awesome just to have.

xHeavYx3675d ago

There is a WB games subsidiary near where I live and some times I get to test games for them. They have that big PS dev kit. I think it's bigger than an Xbox One.

NukaCola3675d ago

That original Xbox is sexy. I miss the days of see through consoles, I had a see though Gameboy and GBA and they were just the bees knees to me.

Player3Podcast3675d ago

I had the translucent orange N64. I loved the way it looked.

ninsigma3675d ago

I had the crystal xbox. Loved that thing.

DragoonsScaleLegends3675d ago

The only reason I got into 3DS games was because of the crystal blue 2DS. I was going to let the GBA SP be my last Nintendo portable until I saw that awesome case. Personally the only thing I hate about it is the small buttons and the lack of GBA games.

yeah, it's a shame nobody makes clear cased consoles anymore.
at least, not home consoles.

If I had that Genesis dev kit and a 32x I would conquer the world! All your base are belong to us!!

Ps2 dev kit was sweet looking, amd I thought the Xbox dev kit was just a tower PC?

darthv723675d ago

I liked how it was just called TOOL on the side.

Player3Podcast3675d ago

There are different versions of the Dev Kit. The Xbox also had a tower with Xbox branded casing.

2pacalypsenow3675d ago (Edited 3675d ago )

Yeah this must of been a really early dev kit

This is what Microsoft was running Xbox 360 games on at E3 2005. Clearly the hardware wasn't ready. I took this photo myself, just before being removed from Microsofts booth. :)

Player3Podcast3675d ago

If I was to build a PC, I'd want that case. It's pretty fresh.

PC_603675d ago

All games are made on PCs, they have dev kits to test the games and debugging

SkullBlade1693675d ago

Each console has had multiple dev kit models available. Only a small number of them were shown here.

NO, that can't be... No! I can't... Really?/s

Cacabunga3d ago

They for sure chose the worst way to deal with it

-Foxtrot2d ago

Funny considering Bruce left half way through development and now we get told there was an internal conflict with the story direction.

Makes you think…

HectixRose3d ago

I think it was good decision, if he was still alive, he would have been a mascot just like Kratos, drake and many others. These old dudes gotta die for new characters to take center stage with their own storyline. They keep dragging the emotional baggage into many sequels and eventually the story just turns into absolute shit show.

JEECE3d ago

It was ironic because people complained heavily about the story in the Uncharted games not having sufficient stakes because all the key characters always survived, despite the dangerous situations they were always in. Then ND killed a character in a more serious series and everyone lost their minds. Just shows that people don't always really want the thing they say they want.

CantThinkOfAUsername2d ago

I thought the more common complaint about Uncharted franchise was how the main cast are the good guys acting so nonchalantly while killing hundreds in cold blood (aka the dissonance between gameplay and story cutscenes). They just did it again in Part II.

Soy3d ago

Didn't have to kill him. Just have them part ways or Joel can "retire," whatever.

DarXyde2d ago

I don't think he would necessarily need to become a mascot (and besides, technically, I'd say Ellie is... So regardless, someone was going to be).

From a narrative perspective, I do think it has a similar effect to Ricky dying in Boyz N Da Hood: very likeable character, and you're really motivated to see the get back—in this case, it's more intense because it's an interactive experience. Most people hated Abby, but I get what they were after with portraying the cycle of violence and revenge—unfortunately, the game appears to want to take the side of the bad people.

But I will say that if Joel survived, it does become harder to tell an interesting story. What COULD have happened is an exploration into the rift between Joel and Ellie after the trolley dilemma events of the first game. It could have been interesting to see Abby out for revenge at the same time Ellie hated Joel.

Ashunderfire862d ago

Sorry just had to say this lol! RICKYYYY!

Man Cuba Gooding Jr was miscast in that movie, but that part was cringey it was sad and funny at the same time man.

Ashunderfire862d ago (Edited 2d ago )

I understand but the way they went about killing Joel, was poorly executed. Even the show of the Last of Us games tried to improved it, but it was just as bad. Well at least Joel got to know the reason why he had to die, before the death happened in the show. That part gave us the full context, but the game just let it happen with no pay off.

Joel death should have been a midway thing through the story, so we at least get to play him a little more with Ellie. Abby didn’t need to be this Hulk looking woman, but more like the show Abby which is a beater idea in my opinion.

The only ND game that was so disappointing to me I couldn't finish it.

pwnmaster30003d ago

Honestly as much as I loved the game, they could have just not killed him off.
I get it creator vision and all but killing a character that made you millions is just wrong imo. At least have him go down fighting.

Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.

They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.

solideagle2d ago

they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.

Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted

Relientk772d ago

Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments
