Beer + Videogames: As consumer technology grows ever more advanced, the shifts to newer and better platforms are happening with increased regularity. While it’s easy to count the rapid acceptance of these formats as little more than the sound of humanity’s steady march down the silicon laced road of progress, it appears the driving force at the heart of this cultural willingness to exchange our tapes for discs and our discs for bits has a familiar name: video games.
It's important in life to maintain a broad palette when it comes to culture and the arts. Hideo Kojima agrees, as he continues to use video games like Death Stranding to introduce people to music and other elements they might not otherwise discover.
Mojang has partnered with Merlin Entertainments to build the world's first Minecraft theme park in the UK.
A three-episode live-action adaptation of the first two Yakuza video games will debut Tuesday, March 17 exclusively IGN. Each episode is about an hour long and will stream on IGN.com and IGN’s YouTube channel.
Bluray adoption....are there more games sold than movies? The price of players are dropping and the rereleases of popular titles on bluray for cheap (10-15$) I would say is what is driving the adoption of that format.
CD was already popular before games were pressed to them. Same with DVD. The coincidence of the DVD in the PS2 was a smart move even though there werent any dvd games to begin with. The advancements it offered over existing VHS was the real selling point.
The inclusion of the newer formats in a console is a nice convenience. Wonder what the next big thing will be and from who?
" So the next time you early adopters find yourself in the trenches of a format war, take a peek at what the big three are betting on. Chances are good that they’ve picked a winner."
It doesn't take a genius to bet on a winning console PS3 with Blu-Ray versus 360 with HD-DVD.
