So the term video game is something of an old term from back in the 80's that needs to go away. All video games are now a days are essentially interactive video media. Calling it a game implies winning and losing and that it is for children.

Pretty much every "video game" now a days has $40 million dollar budgets and is aimed at audiences ranging from 13 to 30 and older.

As an art form which is what "video gam...

@darthv72

To be honest I have never heard of any of those games before...hell some of those are chip games...um okay whatever not my thing.

I was talking more like AAA titles that are also sold in retail or at least considered high quality digital titles along the lines of Journey or Shank.

Those are more of what I meant. In the future I guess I should have been a little clearer.

Also I'm a PSN+ member and once you downl...

@imchuckbass

what are you talking about PS3 has already done it and the PS4 is considerably more powerful. Are you trolling or uninformed...?

@Septic

So exactly how many free games has XBLG given you over the past 5 years or so? I know PSN+ has given me a shit ton of small and large titles.

Yeah okay I can't cross game chat...don't really need it so much since I prefer single player games mainly and I like to have all of my attention invested into those games.

The few MP games I like to play I want to play with friends so I don't need or really want Cross Game Chat. ...

So let's itemize this because I think you missed what I'm saying...

1)No one was talking about 360 or PS3

2)Attach rate for 360 is only killer on a handful of IP's...2 exclusives and to multiplats

3)I guess you didn't read it because the 2nd thing listed is TV...so yeah

4)Nor did I say they would only focus on only multimedia...I stated that they were clear to emphasize it'...

Yeah so I do know how it works bro...

Devs and pubs...they make games so a console built for multimedia driven focus with gaming as just one of those features dont really benefit unless it kills in the sales department because it opens up the chance of selling more units.

Putting gaming 1st is a reaction to 2 things 1st is that Sonys conference made a big deal that they are a gaming console first and the 2nd is that everyone ...

@Captain Qwark 9

but the question is are you happy if gaming is not the main focus of your gaming console?

the reality is most people have a ton of connected devices in their house already i for one have content shared between my phone, tablet, tv, pc and consoles...so do i need another device that is another jack of all trades but a master of none.

we mainly buy our consoles for gaming so gaming should be it's main focus. we buy our conn...

Actually they all are and they are all amazing....

Reality is Capcoms not that bad...broke gamers just feel that they are entitled to get everything for free.

New age gamer: dlc free, expansions free, cut content free, new skins free, new weapons free, dedicated servers free yep everything free free free.

New age gamers dont like to pay...look at pc prices and whats happened...torrent sites for stolen games.

This isn't about what Sony did this is about the punishment for an individual who committed a very serious crime. Credit/Id theft can take years to repair in many cases and if you have a family or are going to school can totally stop everything going on in that persons life...if they have family even more people are then affected.

You don't like how Sony handled it fine but like I commented earlier you don't get pissed at the bank for only having one guard versus ...

Exactly a year not enough since it doesn't match the crime.

4677d ago 1 agree1 disagreeView comment

I guess you don't understand that credit fraud against one person can some times take years to correct...now depending on how many peoples credit information yeah more time in prison is better than a year.

In a way I think we should take the practice used over in the middle east where the crime matches the punishment...steal you get your hand cut off...in this case you cut some fingers off.

He won't be pulling that shit again even if he wants to.

@ Ducky

It doesn't matter about how advanced the security it's about how bad the crime was.

Here is an analogy for you...should a bank robber get a smaller sentence just because the bank only had one security guard versus a longer one if the bank employed many.

Stealing customer data like a credit card or social can do more damage to a persons life than almost anything. Some cases fighting credit fraud can take years if the individual...

I think their are people who are enthusiastic but that doesn't mean they don't let their personal biased affect their better judgement.

Greg Miller is hit or miss and I'm not talking about if I agree with him or not I'm talking about making his reviews into opinion pieces. One of the biggest issues is that gamers and press alike can be very stubborn and stupid...perfect example a review is not an opinion it's a fact finding mission...when false facts are i...

@Dasteru

1) There are roughly 200 million console gamers as of right now...you really think that 180 million of them are kids between the ages of 12 and 14. Yeah I don't think you really know what you're talking about here...

2) No I like playing my games which is one of the reasons Heavy Rain got stale for me. That doesn't mean I don't want immersion through cinematics...it's not a gain one lose the other scenario. Look at God of War gam...

Name 1 true AAA game that didnt have cinematic values? To be good no to be great yeah...its called being the complete package. Its the reason why the God of War games have sold and review better than games that dont have the cinematic extras.

Games dont need to be movies but they must be immersive which is cinematic value helps greatly. The highest rated games of all time are praised for their top tier cinematic values.

Only real gam...

I dont think youve ever played a console game...built for a console...they are just better which is why real gamers own consoles.

PC games built for PC are very static with little to no cinematic value in the actual gameplay. Instead they focus more on tech and deep convoluted lore.

Gamers want immersion which is why console gaming is a better business than PC gaming...because true immersion is found in games built for consoles.

I dont think people grasp how big of a deal this feature is.

Easy things all done at once.
1. Record video and commentary...no syncing clips or video editing
2. Upload to youtube facebook and ustream...yeah nothing else does all at the same time
3. Live streaming with more than just friends with no pc

All of these are a pain in the ass to do right now just by themselves and time consuming...so yeah its revolutionary and anyone who says...

Yeah i dont think you really are a core gamer who is part of gaming culture or communities.

Here is why Youtube lets plays and live streaming gaming is huge and a multimillion dollar generating business. The issue though has always been you need a pc, capture device, camera, editing software and most importantly time to do everything.

With the PS4 all this changes with a press of a button...and its that simple. Being able to share content and connect with oth...

You shouldn't talk grammar...you might to re-read what you wrote cause yeah...by the way I'm typing on my tablet so not really focusing on the proof read.

OT: If you know everything I said then you would know that you owned yourself not me...RAM equals performace and quality so going from 1.5 gigs of RAM to 8 makes a world of difference and I dont think you grasp that...so yeah we're done here.

They only showed it to demonstrate how quick and easy it was for epic to get UE 4 running on PS4 in a matter of a couple of weeks...not to show that it was rivaling PC performance because that will take optimization and even then PS4 wont match 100% of course
