It took me two seconds to prove you wrong and exactly show how Columbia gained movie rights that follows the way I described. Downvote all you want but, unless you can prove the opposite I will take various actual articles of actual research by real journalists not copy and paste bloggers and fanboy feelings.
Accept hopefully it won't run like the PSNow crappy service running at 720p, heavy latency issues, top out a 30fps, loss in fidelity, an unable to actual stream heavy action-oriented games. The expectation is to run the games as levels much higher. But, yeah similar.
Streaming is not difficult. There have been many companies providing various streaming services over the years. The problem is a consistent infrastructure that does not exist even within one city block to ...
They own the video rights through a deal reached with MGM. MGM bought out Cannon Films - the actual owners of the Spider-Man film rights. And as part of a legal dispute of ownership MGM exchanged Spider-Man for getting the rest of the rights they did not own of James Bond back. As such Sony does not have absolute rights to Spider-Man according to a 1999 agreement. They do not have the rights to make games and other media. They are limited to what they can do with the character or characters...
How does the Pro add two more years to the lifespan? Since only a small group own the Pro and it doesn't add exclusives, the Pro and the Xbox X do not extend the lifespan at all. They just enhance this generation for that small group of owners. The mid-gen updates offer no benefit to the majority of users whose devices are entering year five of that life. As the owner of both a Pro and X and those like me these consoles are not lifespan extenders but are exactly what both Sony and Micro...
Why not? He is the type of person who makes this country great. Didn't ask for handouts, worked hard, served his country. I am glad to hear his story. I don't know about you but, I could never do it. My brother has a similar story: joined the military at 19 (now over 20 years in the Army), spent 4 tours in Afghanistan and now is stationed in South Korea. People like @fragnum and my brother are my heroes. Doing things I could never do and getting pai...

"As long as they have HDMI 2.0 they can be patched to 2.1 to support VRR"
Not exactly true. Just because you have HDMI 2.0 does not mean you can patch it to 2.1 specs and then buy a new HDMI 2.1 capable cable and you will have all the features of 2.1. It is possible but, it really depends on how the TV in question supported the future on the TVs implementation HDMI 2.0b at the hardware level in the first place.
I don't think it matters. FreeSync is really not coming to big TVs as HDMI 2.1 will cover similar capability for the larger screens. And the Xbox X will fully support HDMI 2.1 TVs as well. Which means the X will support the HDMI adaptive sync (VRR - variable refresh rate) as well as FreeSync (AMD's implementation of the DisplayPort tech). Plus, I haven't seen any announcements recently of any FreeSync supported large TVs arriving soon. There are smaller monitors (less than 4...
Stopping? Costs. Price points don't change. Mid-level PCs are the same mid-level pricing they have always been ($500-90 gets a mid-level device and always has). The tech advances but the price points stay the same. The same for consoles. 20GB hardly because that will not favor costs.
Plus any new device will be based on new memory tech. GDDR5/x or GDDR6 will not be cheap. Doubt it will be HBM. The APU alone cannot exceed $149 if ...

Third-party developers were sent spec sheets to work on the expectation of a PS4 that early (I know I was working with several big game developers at the time with physics engine we developed). Not actual devices before late 2012 were sent out Sure, some internal studios and maybe a few test units (not actual devkits) had devices that is a given as they gave feedback. But, those weren't actual dev kits but SIE devices based on expectations and would vary quite a ...
There is one difference though. In theory, the X (with all that Microsoft no generation talk) could become the base unit. It can handle 4K relatively well enough, while the Pro not so much compared to any next-gen devices. So if these consoles come in 2019 and 2020 respectively the X could still be sold and at $299 or lower by that time. A pretty good option for most people. Especially looking at everybody's expectation of what the PS5 will have internally but, not looking at what will...
The PS4 dev kits were released in Nov 2012 exactly a year before the PS4 came to market not two years before the console's release. And that is for a console that had a completely different OS, different chipset, different API.
You could read Marc Laidlaw's blog. He wrote the stories for the first two Half-life's games. Although he no longer works for Valve he did post a sort of a synopsis of the story he had planned for Half-Life 3 (in the form of a letter from Gertrude Fremont) in one of his blog posts.
What do you mean? This at it heart is not a single player game. A review posted before a game like this goes live would be an insincere review. Sure you can play by yourself or even find some others to play with but, without the much large player base that will exist on release those reviews of a pirates life, roaming the sea, would be wrongly biased to a false narrative of a single player game perspective. Doing so would be like the opposite in reviewing Uncharted 4 based on its somewhat sub...
No, we called it garbage move for being a Sony paid timed exclusive. Something the PS fanboys often call out Microsoft for doing (E.g. Tomb Raider) PSfanboys contrarily think Sony is saintly and should not be held to the same admonition that they had applied to Microsoft for similar actions. (see @Platformgamer below for an great example of such garbage fanboyism)
Yet, France, an almost wholly gun free country, has had more mass shooting deaths in one year (2015) than all 8 years under Obama's Presidency. And that is for a country 1/5 the size of the US. Meanwhile, that death toll for mass shootings has not tapered off much in France in the ensuing years. But, yeah go on and tell me how that gun ratio works again.
"Ms." That is pretty presumptuous of you. How do you know she identifies as a female? Why because of her outward appearance. That is very prejudicial of you. Isn't following old social norms wrong. Arent we now being lectured by the elite leftist utopian college professors and off the rails news media and talk show hosts that gender is how we feel at the moment and everyone else must bend to our will of that moment or be shamed into submission. ...
I think it should be changeable in a limited manner. First couple of changes are free then they charge you. Without skin in the game, people will just take advantage of a completely unlimited number times ruining the process (you can't have nice things because people will always take advantage). Perhaps, getting two free renames with any more additional having a usage charge but you also get a free rename or reset to 2 free renames every 5 or so years. Just spitballing.
There isn't a rumor mill. There aren't multiple sources. It is one tweet that every story that is talking about the devkit shipping is basing it on; all this hoodoo-voodoo from a Sellars tweet. The problem is devkits are not needed for development this early on. They serve no purpose without the future device being essentially in lock down. A devkit is released when console makers know what the machine specs will be for the most part. The console maker have developed APIs to work ...
That would not play into the pricing. Consoles use integrated chip sets (APU = CPU + GPU) and are special order parts. If it affected pricing it would have affected pricing on laptops or other devices that use an APU. But, the mining craze doesn't seem to be affecting those devices pricing so why would affect consoles? That scarcity of GPUs is for discrete or individual add-on cards because miners load 3-7 cards in each machine for the mining proce...
