soz i can't relate to that since i'm not a blizzard fan nor have i been a pc gamer for too long. i can understand that your pissed off if they messed up diablo3 on pc i can understand if your still pissed of about that. i don't however understand the people who are pissed off that consoles are getting these features wouldn't it just mean that the next blizzard pc game will also have these features too? isn't that a good thing to see they've learnt from their mistakes? ...
wow, you have people who say that graphics don't matter then you have people who tell you the graphics are not good enough. can't impress everyone i guess. what i'm most looking forward to is having a higher render distance on the new console and more stuff loaded on the screen at the same time, this could lead to interesting gameplay mechanics and a more vibrant game environment the likes of which weren't possible in previous gen. an example of this is civilians or crowds of ...

...atleast the damn thing will have a bloody use for once.
its called game theory, the best outcome is if all companies block 2nd hand games(from the companies point of view that is), the second best outcome is if none of the companies block 2nd hand games. any other outcome will result in a loss, in other words if one company did and the others didn't the company that did do it will be worst of. it will only work if all the companies came to a unified decision that they stood by like when all cigarette companies decided to stop advertising they ...
well if they can get away with charging people for the privilege of using their internet connection then they can get away with anything
only recently i have noticed that in the uk they are very anti-sony. even on the BBC website there was a clear cynicism towards the console both in the comments section and the article itself. i didn't realise that was the case until recently.
i was freaked out at that point, looked like he was going to have a mental break down on stage. i thought he was on stage to start an anit-government campaign until he started talking about superheroes at which point i was thinking "da fuq is goin on?!" or the guy guy who came on to introduce drive club who looked like he was going to orgasm on stage. the second time i watched the press conference i couldn't stop laughing when i watched it live it was 2am and i was too tired.
exactly what i was going to say. i hate it when people who have no clue of the capabilities pc's are able to produce start making silly claims like the killzone4 looks better than crysis3 bearing in mind THE GAME ISN'T OUT YET. how can someone judge the graphical fidelity of a game from a short gameplay clip on a video with out actually owning the game? it really blows my mind.
the steam box is a niche product that has many non gaming applications. it is also an open platform that allows for many opportunities and is not a dedicated gaming device even though it is very competent at carrying out that task. valve sees the steam box as machine that can be plugged into the tv basically giving you a living room pc with a massive screen this opens a range of multimedia possibilities that way you don't need to buy a smart tv you can easily make any tv smart by adding a...
not everyone in the world speaks English as their first language please keep that in mind before having a go at someone for spelling across the internet. just sayin'
they are still charging because there are enough fools in this world who are willing to pay. if you have a game,a console to run it on and an internet connection you have every right to play that game online as it is a feature that comes with the game you just bought yet microsoft still charges you for nothing. if they have extra features they can charge you for that no problem but making people pay to play the game they just bought is unacceptable
i can't find it in me to get excited about anything square enix says or produces anymore. they havent got anything to show for all the reputation they have built or the promises they've made. just more HD remakes of games for a time gone by. they have failed miserably previous gen FF13 and FF14 didn't really live up to expectations. i actually prefer that they don't release versus untill they are confident they can get it right. releasing that game and messing it up is not a g...
"Looks more PS3 style then PS2 style" WTF does that even mean?
agreed, would have prefered the led light if it were red but i guess blue is the authentic playstation colours
@jek_Porkins
i understand what you mean but can you honestly say you play all of those consoles at the same time? do you still play gamecube and dreamcast? if you are really attached to your previous consoles that much then i don't have an answer to your problems nor does sony or microsoft. there are always streaming services, emulators on pc, downloadable versions of previous game but none of that can be considered real backwards compatibility. i used to love my sega genisis but...
agreed, i don't see why people just don't keep their 360's and ps3's. just because there is a new console doesn't mean you need to throw the old one out besides selling them is extremely inefficient as the price plummets after the reveal of a new console. if you are waiting to find out if the next console i backward compatible or not to see if you should sell the old one or not you would have missed your chance to make any good money back by then since the new console woul...
it is already been reliably confirmed although not official that the next xbox will have 50GB optical disks whether that is blu ray or not nobody knows but it would only makes sense to go with bluray creating another format doesn't benefit anyone.
the price and release date are possible though considering that every unit ships with a kinect2.0 then it may be a little higher. i don't think MS will miss the chance and release next year it has to be holiday 2013
how i would love an open world crash bandicoot game in a similar style to the recently announced knack for the ps4 but more adventure orientated or a jak and daxter game in a similar style mentioned above but with the authentic art style
agreed but to be honest it really isn't that hard to get into pc gaming people have this misconception that it is very complicated but it isnt. you can build your own machine at the same price of the steam box and play steam games on it no problem. while it may not be as small and compact as the piston (steambox) it has more customization and long term longevity. i think the piston is an amazing product not only for gaming but for organisations,school pc,home theatres etc. as you can att...
i couldn't agree more. MS sees the xbox as some sort of living room tool that can do everything and provides for all consumers the casual,the hardcore and the non gamers but i feel that this will make the xbox a jack of all trades but master of none. yes sony has other services but they are targeted at the core gamer whereas MS is trying to target everything.
