Funny to think a few months back people were saying new consoles aren't needed and that there wouldn't be a noticeable leap.

They stated it was in-game, not a pre-rendered target. Judging by how Killzone looked, I'd say it could easily be in game.

Just realized I made a mistake, it's meant to read 3 in 10 DIDN'T* in that 3rd sentence in paragraph 2.

Who cares?
1)people without internet
2)people with slow internet
3)people with low bandwidths
4)people who don't have access to the internet all the time
5)peoples whose internet isn't working

There are PLENTY of people who care, and I'm sure there are a lot more reasons why than what I just listed in the entire 20 seconds it took me to think of.

edit: Just to add, Sony said that 70% of PS3s were connected ...

You type documents by clicking? Or you play games by typing?

The fact that not every country has fast speeds, and bandwidth limits, will mean that Gaikai isn't going to be the 'thing' of the next generation. Sony knows this, they wouldn't risk a huge amount of their customers for it. It as an addition like netflix is more than likely, so you have the choice to buy the game with a disk, or have the option to stream/rent, but I'm pretty certain most people find that conclusion quite obvious.

How can a single person make the game run on DX10 in a matter of days, yet an entire dev team can't in 6 years?

Yeah the whole left side is off! Must have been a faulty machine! Either that or the photo was simply taken slightly toe the right of the center so the perspective is off.... Look at the analogue sticks, it's obvious.

It's all manufactured in the same place, with the same materials. Assuming they make back the same profit as well as what is on top of the shipping costs and the wages of those who organize the shipments, it would result in a profit. The Aus dollar is on par with US dollar, so if it costs DOUBLE the prices PER ITEM for importing, they are doing something extremely wrong and need to rethink their business strategy. I can understand a slight increase on the products, but some products are o...

I don't want to pay $900 for an iPhone, yet many do, so the prices never drop. If it were that easy it would already be done. The way the world works is magical.

People need to understand how supply and demand work. Games aren't getting bought? You make it cheaper.

Developers could make more money off selling 2 titles of a game brand new for $40 each, rather than someone purchasing a game for $60 new and someone buying a used game for $40.

The same way they told the story in the games? Even a narration could work if they somehow were so bad that they couldn't do it using other people, writing, and the scenes. of the movie

Is a physical copy of something the same as a digital copy of something? No, it is not.

In terms of money not going to the developer/manufacturer? Yes, it is the equivalent of pirating.

You know how when you use a physical object it degrades over time? Car parts start to die, clothes get holes in them etc? Software doesn't. The disk may, as it's an object, but the contents on the disk will remain the same.

Let's be honest here. Th...

I find it funny that almost everyone complains about second hand games on here. 'Oh no I can't borrow/rent/buy cheap anymore.' Your money isn't going to the developers, it really is just as bad as piracy apart from the fact that you are actually encouraging second hand games even more as real money is involved. Yet a piracy article comes on N4G and you are the devil's child if you have ever downloaded a game. This hypocrisy on this site is amazing, but let me guess, becaus...

Welcome to the real world buddy. If you don't have enough money, you have to wait till you do have enough.

You're going to jump ship to PC where they also don't have second hand games? New release games are still usually the same as consoles for the first few weeks/months.

My point wasn't the fact that I couldn't play it, it was that a PC built before the current generation of consoles can still produce better graphics than the consoles, but you have proven to me that you are probably a 12 year old by using a similar 'I know you are but what am I' style argument, so I will just leave alone.

My PC I bought before PS3 was released could run the original Crysis, and that looks a lot better than the 360 version of this, so I would say it's safe to say that it would look better if it were possible to play the PC version on DX9 or 10.

Also, almost everyone has a PC/laptop. The price between getting parts for a gaming computer or getting a console and a laptop aren't even that far off (would cost more at release for a laptop+console).

"have generic gameplay and run on a poorly un-optimized engine"

So it will be a true sequel to Homefront then?

So PS1 and PS2 weren't the best of the previous generations?

What are mods? There are plenty of texture packs, and they can get as good definition as the person making the textures wants.

The same could be said that 1080p looks the same as 540p, that it's just further away, but of course there is far greater detail.

And of course it looks like 1080p, it isn't recorded in 4k, and you aren't viewing it in 4k. It's like getting a black and white tv and playing a game in colour and complaining that it looks...
