10 years? For a whole gen?
First you think that you'll see a billion units and now you think your hardware will hold out for 10 years. What are you on MS?
I've never even heard of a piece of hardware that hasn't been updated or replaced for 10 years. Never.
I hope this gen lasts 7 years max. Not to mention the 1st party exclusives lowered in about 2-3 years for the 360.
This article mentions the Cloud improving hardware... L.O.L
You've g...

You do?! Why the hell did you leave then?!

I'm gonna wait for a while (when PS5 comes out) to buy a 4k TV. I'll stash my 1080p screen in my living room and get a reasonably sized 4K tv in my room and hook up my PS4 and PS5 to it. Lol

It's an OS. So no.
As for the Steam Machines, they're basically PCs that you can't upgrade. Seeing as they'll have multiple models with different specs and prices (most likely), I do think they'll be noticeably higher in price than the next gen consoles.
I don't really know who it's aimed at.

Well, I didn't expect that from Rockstar. You would think that after making 1 billion big ones in such as short time that they would lay this kinda stuff off.

I'm not gonna get any of these, but I'll be fine playing online.

PC gamers got GTA4 right? It's not a console exclusive.
It'll make money on the PC. Simple as.

I thought Nomura already confirmed they're making an HD remake which was the Osaka teams second priority?

So let me get this straight.
Steam Machines are like consoles, only running SteamOS.
Now these are going to be separate machines, eash with most likely their own specs.
Interesting. I don't think this'll pull anyone from their consoles. I guess it's more directed at the PC only crowd.
@mushroomwig, Thanks for clarifying. As I was saying, I think this is directed to the PC crowd, but then again, I think the guys who play on PC would just rather upgr...

Are you kidding? This is a livestream comparison of an unfinished game. You can only really do side by side comparisons when they ship.
Hell, I'm betting that this game wasn't even run on either of the actual consoles.

Yeah, I know what you mean. BTW, don't you think 3.3 million for the PS4/XBO versions is kinda ridiculous? I mean, I know they have paypal now, but that just seems like too much for a port of a 2D platformer.
I think they should've replaced some of the pointless stretch goals, like the documentary.
@colonel179,
Agreed. I think it's because Inafune knows he can get it easily. I wouldn't be surprised if It didn't reach the stretch goals and was anno...

I'm not so sure that it'll completely change gaming. It's an interesting move though.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but this could be more beneficial for the PC, mainly because a lot less of the power is used for the OS and solely for games, they'll perform noticeably better. Imagine that new card by AMD (Don't remember the name word for word) on SteamOS. That would be cool. And on top of that, you wouldn't need to get the best graphics card anyway with less mul...

I hope they give us a gameplay trailer when the kickstarter is over.

If this takes off, I can see loads of PC only gamers switching from Windows to this, for gaming at least. Which would seriously dent MS.
I'm thinking announcement 2 will be the Steambox. Announcement 3 is definitely gonna be a Valve game. I'm wanting to say Half Life 3, but I'm not entirely sure.
I don't think this'll directly effect the consoles though.
This is a very interesting situation.
Also, will this mean more support for openGL?

Exactly. Optimization is the key.
Look at GTAIV and compare it to GTA5 on the current gen consoles.
The world in GTAV is much bigger, but the graphics are much better as well.

Like I said before, this is just fake controversy for the media to get ratings and to take shots at gaming. Nothing more.
But then nobody complains about Breaking Bad or Pretty Little liars, live action TV shows with content that can be called inappropriate. Especially the Walking Dead.
It's funny, because every one of those shows has a rating, but when people look at video games the become blind to the rating.

Take your time Baba. No need to rush the next Tales game.

The writer seems to think that FFXV will release in 2014, which I agree with completely. Summer 2014/Late 2014. If we're unlucky, Q1 2015.
As for the gameplay VS cutscene thing, it makes me really happy that it was shifted to the PS4. It's way easier to develop for than the PS3 and of course more powerful meaning it can handle a lot more for this epic game.
I can't wait! Hopefully when LR releases we'll get a lot more news for this game.
Does anyone e...

Thank you ZeroCrossing! Especially IGN. On top of that, most game reviewers give great reviews and scores to games that are absolute shit (Black Ops 2 pissed me off so much). I don't like the fact that Japanese devs are more concentrated on mobile gaming and it's mainly because of this. I just hope that Japanese devs get more into consoles again. Especially after games like KH3.

This is just fake controversy. It's one scene in one game with an M for Mature sign on it.

I'm a console mainly guy and I don't think the PC market is really struggling. As to whether this'll hurt the PC market, I'm not sure of. The guys who love the upgradable function to the PC will most definitely stay with it, but who knows? It depends if the Steam Box is upgradable (you can bet it won't be) or if valve intends to make successors to the Steam Box, with high quality specs.
