No, SONY is the reason OtherOS was removed. Geohotz was Sony's lame excuse.
" What if Mr. Smith took them back because they were contaminated and you would die if you consumed them? "
Then the analogy would be so stupid that it would not apply to anything in this case.
Move just isn't worth owning. I wish I could go back and NOT buy it last September. I'm not surprised that Move is the lesser selling product since it either tacks unnecessary control schemes onto old games that don't work with it very well, or has the usual Wii-too style games. Move is just a waste of money. It has no software that makes it seem worth owning.
Kinect? I have no idea. I'm not planning on getting it.
Most of the Move stuff IS casual or it's just an alt(worse) control scheme for a game that doesn't need it and doesn't benefit from it.
Personally I don't care about Motorstorm (I bought the first two) and I'm going to be playing Dead Space 2, Portal 2, Brink, Skyrim, Dragon Age 2, Mass Effect 3, and other third party games this year. I'll probably be playing most of them on my "CASUAL" 360 and not worrying about he PS3 much since their excl...
That list of "real games" is FAR from being impressive. In fact it's sad.
LBP2 only has a demo/DLC that uses Move called Sackboy's Prehisoric Moves. It's pretty lame. A partner moves blocks around with the Move controller. The main game doesn't even use it.
Dead Space Extraction sucks on Wii and on PS3/Move. It's a bad gun game. That you are looking forward to playing it is almost funny.
KZ3 might be good but I...
This game looks like a suicide note from the japanese game industry.
He's right that having a platform that is far cheaper to develop on than the HD consoles is an important thing. The problem is that need may already be better met by portables and smartphone/iPod/iPads.
I agree with his point but not his idiotic antics.
Jim is about as derp as derp gets. He is a Reddit rage comic come to life.
360 is hacked. Wii is hacked. PS2 was hacked. PSX was hacked. DS is hacked. PSP is hacked. Most of those are also suffering from piracy. And yet despite all the hysterical crying about the end of gaming life goes on anyway. So does business. Yes, piracy is wrong. No, hacking things is not piracy. Nor is it cracking. And no piracy hasn't ended any other console this generation or even come close to it. This is a lot of crying about something you 1.)have absolutely no control over and 2.) n...
It's a lot of fun for about the first half of the game. Then you've pretty much seen all the cool parts and ti gets kind of stale.
Remember all that stuff they mentioned cutting from XIII that was supposedly enough to make a whole other game? Yeah? Well I guess the idea to release it as DLC fell through so now it IS a 2nd game. There ya go.
Maybe they should consider blaming THE GUY WHO ACTUALLY DID IT!
He'd probably make a phone call to a guy who's nastier than him but 'on his side' and and your site would be DOS'd and your own personal info would probably be on the net(4CHAN) shortly thereafter.
You do know better than to personally screw around with hackers online right?
The problem is that to a lot of electronic frontier types Geohot looks like "a cause" which means he will get donations to cover legal expenses, and quite possibly pro-bono representation. Also if Sony is blatantly wrong in their suit and doing it JUST to harass and shut him down financially, and that can be proven with documents requested at trial in discovery, Sony MAY be held responsible for all legal fees themselves or even be subject to countersuits leading to damages. They may...
" Point is it's sinister to use something other then what it is intended sometimes. "
Well sure, I could probably also use a PS3 as a club to bludgeon someone in the head too...still this "missile guidance system" stuff is a lot of stretching to justify the idea that hacking hardware you buy should be considered de facto "illegal".
The airforce was using PS3's for a linux cluster and Sony USED to be proud of that.
Indiana Jones (as a character) is pretty much a rip off of the Alan Quatermain books by H. Rider Haggard. :)
And Terms of service have pretty much NO LEGAL FORCE WHATSOEVER where they conflict with any local state or national laws. Companies cannot create law or change ownership conditions at will and have it take on legally binding force. Nor have their assertions that a contract was agreed to and signed merely by opening or using a product been met with much agreement from courts when challenged.
It's not "future proof". It's already old.It might go on for a while yet but there is nothing advanced or exotic about it anymore. This IS the future from the point of view of this console generation. And the generation is winding down! The only real question is how much time does this generation have left.
Gonna use a DS3.
