you need an original disk every time you want to play. this is just how pc games work. hence rental makes no sense.
you can't just use backups - backups don't work on ps3 since the ps3 must have a system to detect backups. you can't just put a rip game into the ps3 and expect it to treat it as an original.
his statement wasn't taken out of context it was just plain wrong.
Mattrick says that it's "an amazing piece of software and I'm really excited with its downloadable content and online multiplayer support. Again, that's something that's unique to 360."
i am all for them adding ps2 backward compatibility but i would like them to consider two things:
1. add this to original disk games too
else if bc not possible on original games,
2. this is a big maybe but if you got the original game then you can download the same game from psn and so long as you got the original disk in the ps3 you can play the psn version. this isn't that hard to implement since this is how most pc games work i.e. install full game ...
but in your profile it says you own a ps3? who is more ignorant i wonder? someone who hates sony so much (spends his whole life to hating sony) yet buys their product.. no offence but doesn't this make you more ignorant than any sony fanboy here?
if ps2 games are playable via psn but not playable in disk form then sony are making us pay for games we could already possibly own.. i hope they make original ps2 disk games playable too if this story turns out to be real.
i am not sure but maybe low review scores says something about the games not being good.. revolutionary thought but this could be the reason.
..apparently video games were respsonsible for the extinction of the dinosaurs.
not a day goes by without video games being blamed for something that is already wrong with humanity..
but the article actually contradicts your ORIGINAL comments.. you probably thought it meant the opposite hence everyone here is telling you to read SLOWLY next time you just jump in..
stop being a fanboy, enjoy your xbox.. talking down other systems = you have serious insecurity issues
"We WERE somewhat worried by SOME OF THE REPORTED high complexity of developing for the PS3"
is not the same as:
Farcry developers continuing to worry as the headline infers.. flamebait journalist
if anything the rest of the comments by farcry developers actually got to praise the PS3:
"One thing that we realized pretty quickly as we started R&D on PS3, was that the hardware architecture had a very nice fit with s...
good thing i wasn't eating when i read this else i would have definitely choked.. c'mon guys of course anything could be the next xbox live but let's speculate about such things when they actually have a track record of delivering else we would end up with a ridiculous amount of speculation....
the internet is creating experts out of everyone...
annoying that i can't edit my comments. my point is: if you are a good journalist then you should at least talk about the workarounds instead of just moaning. yes it is true that sony europe are slow - sony admitted this themselves but to give a balanced report the journalist must, firstly, talk about the workaround in place (and these workarounds aren't exactly rocket science - a fifth grader could work it out) and, secondly, mention the fact that sony just made an official press release j...
then use entropay.com you can put any number in for youre social number - it's for identity verification to ensure that your account doesn't get hijacked. hence any number will work so long as you note it down. you only need to put in a hundred bucks and you will be covered for the next quarter.
how many times have i got to tell people who complain about the european psn to just buy from the us games website using www.entropay.com or else use a european mastercard.
why oh why do these articles keep coming out every month? if the journo is half a reporter he should talk about these workarounds instead of b1tching and moaning.
btw: pain and everyday shooters are dogs
i think she sucks at everything that has a long shaft
haven't read the article but.... yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aawn.. why don't we just start making megadrive versus snes comparisons because i am sure they are just as interesting...
although david initially denies it, of course he will do games for xbox at some point. the deal david jaffe with sony has is similar to the bungie deal with ms i.e. expect some exclusives then multis once the contract period ends.
aaargh .. you are missing my point, valve doesn't have a significant presence in ds, wii, ps3, psp, ps2 and minor presence in xbox360 - isn't this the whole console market valve are practically missing out on?? EA has a significant presence in all those markets (+pc market). all these add up to alot of sales.. hence there is no way valve can challenge EA let alone take them over... EA market cap is at least ten times bigger than valve.. why do you keep arguing with me when I tell you that...
not too sure if ms buys EA because this might force EA to go exclusive to xbox - imagine the impact this would have on EA revenues. EA total revenue would be cut in half.. ms would only buy EA if it was really desparate to gain market share at all cost because from a short term earnings point of view it wouuld be terrible..
In the US console software sales dwarfed PC game sales, raking in 153.9 million units. Handheld software brought in a record 77.5 million. PC sales were paltry 36.4 million.
Computer retail game sales in the United States totaled $910.7(!) million, or 36.4 million units, a DECREASE over last year's results, when PC games sold in a retail setting saw revenue of $970 million. PC games sales are DECREASING - yes DECREASING in a year when the industry had an record breaking year! ...
hahah.. closed beta - must be a long list of dedicated hardcore gamers wanting to join this beta.. if you can go around blowing up hello kitties then count me in..
