Microsoft will never be the leader of the console space. They failed in the PMP space and are trailing the iPod by a lot, they failed in the race for best search engine (and by a long shot), and the spaces where they are leaders are seeing their marketshare reduced continuously, including web browsers, operative systems, social spaces, user generated content, e-mail, downloadable content services, cellphone services instant messenger programs and the office space with much better and cheaper ...
This is not about whether god exists or not or whether religion sucks or not, it's about what religion considers good and evil and why they consider it not so evil to kill artificially intelligent agents, and all of its implications for the future. Let's try to stay on topic instead of turning this into a creationists versus evolution debate.
What if someday tomorrow we cohabit with highly intelligent and emotional robots with an identity of their own? - What will religion say? Will any human be able to kill any robot if he or she desires? Will the only consequences be paying the "owner" or the state, even though ownership if such a being would be sort of equivalent to slavery?
I know it's too far away from happening (and who knows if it will), and also that most of you will say "it's just a robot"...
Whoever tries to argue that Blu-ray is not better than DVD is an idiot, regardless of what PS3 games have shown to be. If Heavenly Sword is short, then either Blu-ray wasn't used to its fullest, or they crammed tons of languages into a single disc, which is great but it should be a secondary priority. I like learning languages but honestly I rather have a lengthy game than a short game with every language known to men.
Anyway, the reason it hasn't shown in games is because it wou...
Even if we assume that what you said is true, implying that Blu-ray makes games shorter is retarded.
Go back to school, moron.
You are still a fantard with a Too Human Avatar that says resistance is an "SUB PAR A$$ FRANCHISE" when compared to Gears. If that is so, then why do you even own a PS3, dipsh1t? Your comment speaks volumes of who you side with. And of course, it speaks too low about your intelligence.
Games cost too much nowadays, so yeah, developers are forced by financial reasons to make a game multiplatform. Had Microsoft made their 360 with Blu-ray, then the game would be different, i.e. it wouldn't be held back by DVD9. Hell, they didn't even need blu-ray, just a 250GB HDD on every SKU from day one, but even that was too much for Microsoft.
360 did hold back the PS3 version of RAGE, just like it did for GTAIV as GTAIV was too small compared to the games before it. And I...
Oblivion developers complained from the start, Epic did too (Epic Rain said they don't know how devs will manage to keep using only DVD9), Kojima praised Blu-ray, EA is a member of the Blu-ray association, hell nearly everyone in the industry supported blu-ray or complained about DVD9 not being enough.
The Houser brothers praised Blu-ray and said GTAV could be exclusive to ps3 for that sole reason, the games show in how short they have been on 360, hell GTAIV is shorter than S...
Then Microsoft is also paying Sony royalties, since Sony and phillips made the CD format which is pretty much read by every disc player out there. The point this guy made still holds though. It doesn't matter how many minute royalties Microsoft gets for VC-1, the amount they'd have to pay to adopt another Sony standard (like Blu-ray or its successor) would be far higher than support for a single codec.
Toshiba still gets royalties from each Blu-ray player as they are capable of pla...
Blu-ray doesn't use Microsoft technology you dipsh1t, that was the long demised HD-DVD format, which used iHD. Blu-ray has a superior interactivity technology from Sun Microsystems, which competes with Microsoft. That is why Microsh1t and its fantards like you are so butthurt HD-DVD lost.
I guess you must be in denial if you think Blu-ray is the one that makes Microsoft earn royalties. What a moron.
In 1999, dumbass. Today it would have evolved into something better than what Xbox LIVE is considering its age. And if it wasn't Sega or Microsoft it would have been apple, or Nintendo, or EA, or Valve, or Activision, or Ubisoft, Nokia, etcetera if it wasn't Sony first. Consoles have evolved with technology so there's no reason why it wouldn't have been inevitable without MS.
And McCoolK, I do have a 1080p TV, but I don't wanna be stuck forever with 1080p. 1080p will only be go...
Xbox wasn't called "Xbox 1", we refer to it that way because it was the first, hell it could even be "Xbox Zero" and your little analogy goes to the sh1tter. Then again, assuming it is 1, why does it have to be "just add 359" and so on? Why not multiply? That way you multiply by 360 each generation, so next it would be 360 squared. But again, you could do that with many functions other than addition and multiplication.
720 is just a common nickname...
Thanks to Microsoft we will probably be stuck with Blu-ray for the next-generation instead of going forward. Why? Because Sony needs to compete and keep the prices down, limiting innovation.
Microsoft are followers, and they didn't pioneer Xbox LIVE. Dreamcast had SegaNET, which was enough to put Sony to work. Had Sega survived their own failures, Microsoft wouldn't be needed in the gamespace.
no
Unless PS4 goes completely digital, which is unlikely. Even if they launch PS4 in 2016, which is also unlikely, PS4 will still have a disc drive, *At leasT* for backwards compatibility. But if Sony ´s business models are anything to go by, they will not neglect the population that does not have high speed internet and will keep releasing games on discs.
Also, if games keep increasing in size, I don't doubt Sony will release a Teradisc for the next-generation of consoles. ...
He thinks Xbox 360 owners buy more games because they're older. Does that make you sound like you have a bigger wang, solidsnakus? What the hell does "expendible" mean, or do you mean disposable? Yeah, for someone the age you are prettending, you surely write like a junior high dropout.
Anyway, the only reasonable explanation for Xbox 360 having such a high attach ratio in comparison to PS3 is that PS3 costs more and can play other formats aside of its own games (PS2...
Obviously retailers are not gonna consider RROD as a negative, they'll simply hide it and let consumers figure out what the F*** just happened to their recently bought console from the most reliable brand on any market.
At least he'll get a good salary regardless of the final product
They've never had revolutionary hardware features, only the hard drive which wasn't put to use as good as other console manufacturers have anyway. Also, what positive impact? The fact that games will be mostly relegated this generation to be squashed in order to fit a measly DVD9 just because Microsoft was either too arrogant to pay for a next format, or worse, saw the reality that they would be unable to conquer the market without launching first since they know that they are more brawn than...
