Bob Hoskins has spoken critically of Super Mario Bros., saying that it was "the worst thing I ever did" and that "the whole experience was a nightmare" in a 2007 interview with The Guardian.[16] In another interview with The Guardian, Hoskins answered Super Mario Bros. to three of the questions he was asked, "What is the worst job you've done," "What has been your biggest disappointment," and "If you could edit your past, what would you change?...

That is exactly why Microsoft will not allow you to use your old controller. They will not pass up a chance to accessorize the new console to pick up more money.

Well I care!
I like seeing the press conferences. I like seeing the information direct from Nintendo instead of 3rd parties like n4g and ign, less bias.

How is this going to affect pirating if both the new consoles are basically pc's? Especially if the next xbox even runs the same basic OS as pcs. If they don't use some form of online verification they are going to cracked within a few hours of launch, with emulators for each console coming within a month or two. It will be interesting to see the kind of security they are building in.

"One thing we could have done is drop it down to 128-bit bus, which would drop the bandwidth to 88 gigabytes per second, and then have eDRAM on chip to bring the performance back up again," said Cerny. While that solution initially looked appealing to the team due to its ease of manufacturability, it was abandoned thanks to the complexity it would add for developers. "We did not want to create some kind of puzzle that the development community would have to solve in order to cr...

I don't know that Darwin's theory applies to our society at the present time. I've seen too many people register for a disability because they are lazy and dishonest. Or how about the people who live off of their kids? Food stamps, welfare, and wic; there are too many programs that aid the incompetent. A few families need it but most take advantage of it.

For Darwin's theory of evolution to apply you actually have to have the strong surviving to pass on gen...

The wait for the next generation of consoles has driven the weak minded insane. Be careful of overhyping lest you go mad.

Know how I'm going to deal with always online consoles? By buying a console that doesn't require it.

From Software keeps on putting out pure quality. I don't know who all keeps coming out with such crazy and unique enemy design, but I love it! This studio is really on a roll.

After all the complaints that PC gamers had against the first game's port I don't think they should make a PC version. It is pretty clear that PC gamers are more interested in graphics than anything else.

They are just po'ed because they got to be top dogs for the past few years as the ps3 and 360 really started to show their age. Now we are on the cusp of the next generation where consoles get games that look as good as anything the top 10% of pcs can render. They don't want console games to look better when they have spent so much on their rig.

They have also got to enjoy a resurgence of popularity for the pc over the last few years because of how long this gener...

Yeah that was a really bad decision on Sony's part. What dev is going to go out of their way to put in custom music or remote play? 3rd party developers are lazy, they don't want to add expense to development. Sony needs to standardize these things. The ps4 is going in the right direction.

Based on your comments I doubt you have very many (if any) ps3 games to rebuy. I guess you are trying to speak to the general public who actually likes the ps3? You certainly don't speak for me...

I personally believe it would be most fair to let you play the games you already own. For example, if you put Uncharted 3 in the console you should be able to stream that game from Gaikai for free.

Then again, bandwidth and hosting does cost money so Sony may require some fees in order to be able to do that. I just hope that the new console can use software emulation for both ps1 and ps2 games, it certainly has the power to do so.

That should all be answe...

It does seem to hold more weight that the typical run of the mill rumor. The fact that it has so many sources also lends credence. I'm still going to consider it with a huge grain of salt though, I just can't imagine any company willing to make that poor of a decision.

I have to wonder if people are really going to put up with the BS from MS next generation. You say people put up with the red ring, kinect, etc. so they will bend over for one more thing. While that was true for the 360 it may not be true for next gen. The people that put up with it this generation do so because its really hard to sale off an entire library of games and change platforms mid generation.

I think that at the generation switch people will be much more likely t...

I tried playing it on pc and gave up as soon as I was forced to try to press like 4 buttons at once on the keyboard. I'll try it again with a wired xbox controller later, I'm sure that will be much better.

It will have to be a cheaper console then. No way they can have all those negatives and stay relevant otherwise.

I don't think you will have to load a full 8 gb into ram to get the program up and running. Programs these days have a sense of modularity that allows it to load what it needs into ram a piece at a time. For example continuing to load while the screen pops up havok, the gamedev, and the start screen.

Also I do think the next gen consoles should be able to take advantage of ssd's extra speed if someone is willing to burn that much cash, but it shouldn't be a st...
