@darth The name is actually quite fitting...
Horizon came out and proved GG could make a game with real depth.
And look at that, even with the massive downgrade, the destruction lags. You can see parts of the building (or the one big chunk) freeze in mid-air. So much for our networks being ready for cloud tech.
Just wish there was more flow to the combat, it feels stiff, like playing with rock em', sock em' robots.
We see these articles year after year, and year after year the answer remains the same...
Thing is, not all of their competition is naive enough to accept their trojan horse. Nintendo is the biggest thing they have going for them, an abysmal online system that needs help, perfect to let XBL in to save the day so N can actually compete online. That said, even they aren't going to be dumb enough to let MS get into any position of power over them via XBL. They'll drop Xbox in a heartbeat and deploy their own service if it came down to that. So, at best, this is Microsoft pull...
Going multi-platform
Their punishment will be watching Kojima rake in millions as they fade into obscurity.
Non-Black rappers aren't arrogant? All black rappers are arrogant? Sounds like a pretty arrogant thing to say. Take that racist trash out to the curb. N4G should ban mogwaii and everyone that liked that post.
Ryzens clock in at half the price of their intel counterparts, and every Xbox since the 360 has used AMD... so....
This is no surprise, AMD has controlled the console market since the first Xbox made the mistake of using an Nvidia GPU and ended up getting ripped off badly financially for it, contributing to that $4 billion it lost.
I currently have a GeForce GTX 970 as my primary GPU, that said, AMD is spanking Intel right now when it comes to workstation computers. You can get all the power Intel offers for half the price with Ryzen Threadrippers (Remember, I'm talking about works...
Perhaps a hybrid approach... you can buy carts pre-loaded with games, you can erase games from carts and load a new one, you can buy blank carts to store downloaded games on.
That's my thinking... collect royalties licensing current tech out, but maintain an exclusivity or cost advantage for future tech.
Sounds like we have some folks nice and salty over the news that Nintendo is getting out of home console development.

In the beginning, it was the virtual villain that got us to enjoy simulated harm/killing. Now, when given the freedom to, we will mow a taxicab over a street full of virtual pedestrians, blow up a police station, stab a hooker, etc... regardless of what lipstick you put on it to make it morally acceptable, beneath the surface it's all the same thing.
It's the same reason we get off on violence on TV, the news, etc... The song "Vicarious" comes to mind.
The mechanics are so wildly different than any other game that isn't a smash ripoff that it can't be directly compared.

Looks great still.. but let's see it animate.
