You do own something. You own an account on the streaming service and you own access to the games you want to play. Just because it's not physical, doesn't mean you don't own something. Instead you have freedom to stream on any device with a browser. Maybe they'll also give the option to download the game but games are getting bigger and bigger. Isn't it great not having to wait to download something? Isn't it great not having to worry about hard drive storage space? I...
Google TV and Google+ really weren't playing to Google's strengths. With the infrastructure / data centres they have and their technological expertise with the Chrome browser, the world's largest video streaming service Youtube and the world's most used mobile operating system Android, you can bet your damn ass they gonna give it a good shot. Also three important words.... Phil F*cking Harrison!
I never said Stadia would succeed. I'm simply saying that it is on a different level to Onlive because Google is a far bigger company with much better infrastructure and reach and we are also many years on from Onlive where many other companies are doing the same. Therefore it isn't a question of whether it is technologically feasible anymore.. The question is who will do it the best and succeed with it commercially. Google own

You clearly read t...
Google ain't Onlive. They practically run the web. Technology has evolved. We not too far away from self driving cars replacing taxis. Things move on and they moving at a faster rate. Network infrastructure has improved dramatically in developed countries and that will continue. Don't judge the future by the past. Remember we now have VR and real time Ray tracing. Would we have imagined that 15 years ago? If we can't provide game streaming at this day and age, us engineers should ...
The game better back what's he's saying up or it'll be No Man's Sky all over again
Even if what he said is unprofessional, it does not constitute sexual harassment. I bet if this was a woman who referred to her sexual anatomy in a similar way, you wouldn't care at all. He referred to his penis but if he used the f word or a swear word that did not refer to his anatomy, you wouldn't say it was sexual harassment. The context of how the word was used makes it so blatantly obvious that it wasn't sexual harassment or even sexual in nature at all. This kind of head hu...
I really think you're the one who needs to grow up. I am a 29 year old software engineer who works for Dell in Ireland. He is referring to his penis in a phrase used for expressing what he's trying to say. What he was trying to say was not in any way sexual. I don't want a "dick measurement contest" is simply saying I don't want to enter a game of one-upmanship over something negligible. It wasn't meant sexually and anyone with a brain can see that. And btw if yo...
This is completely pathetic. Just because the guy used the word "dick", doesn't mean it's sexual harassment. It all depends on the context and he just used dick measurement as an expression. Not the best choice of words but it's the people who complain about these little things that should be subjected to disciplinary action. This whole #metoo thing is now being abused and logic and common sense seems to have gone out the window and replaced by people who are offended ov...
Probably as powerful as the Switch too...
I would be liberal leaning politically but this is nonsense. There was absolutely nothing wrong with that joke. People should be able to joke about what they want.
Day 1 patches that are bigger than the game? Come on now! What percentage of games would have this? A negligible number. On disk DLC is more common but once the main game is there, I can't see how its a negative compared with the old days. Free games with PS plus didn't obviously exist years ago but does today and you can get two free games per month. How can you look at the huge beautiful open world games that we have today and honestly think that the old days were better? Look at St...
People think they're great putting VI before VII. VII is the best FF game. Everybody knows it but its too obvious so people like to put other FF games ahead of it to stand out. The characters, the story, the world, the ability to explore with the airship, the chocobo breeding, the mini games, the soundtrack and one of the best villains of any video game ever. FF VII is not just the best FF game but perhaps the best game ever released. VI is brilliant don't get me wrong and VIII, IX an...
People comparing FF XV and FF XIII review scores need to remember that the reviewers are different people and the site's score is just the person's opinion at the time of playing.
What always worried me about FF XV was how the real-time combat would play out. I wanted an extension of XII's system. I was not not a fan of XIII's system at all because the game was far too easy except for trying to get a 5 star time (which ruined the whole thing for me). I hate ...
@IrisihGuy95
When he said the there is no Sky Box, he was talking about the sky of the planet, not the solar system. It would be technically impossible to have the real star. For example, Earth would fit about 1,000,000 times into the Sun. They would not be able to put an object that large into the game and have the player fly around it. Use your head for heaven's sake.
Most people disappointed for this game should blame themselves for buying a game like this s...
I'm also Irish and a programmer. To compare Sean Murray to the Irish politicians is idiotic. This guy created a game engine in a year that could generate entire planets. That alone is probably a greater achievement than you will ever be able to lay claim to in your entire lifetime. Anyone with any common sense, would know that the game would lack depth considering its scale and the team's tiny size. The game was about experiencing something new. Of course a game of this size will have...
Best lay off the acid
What exactly were people expecting from No Man's Sky exactly? It was made by 8 people and mostly made by Sean Murray himself. The game is certainly a huge technical achievement. What did the game not have that people wanted?
As a programmer, even if this game had 5% on metacritic, I would still get it because of the technical achievement that it is. For a small team to pull a game like this off is a massive achievement. For a small team to create a game for PS4 and PC with their own 3D game engine is an achievement in itself. The fact that they made a game engine that can create an entire universe where the player can fly from one full planet to the next is mind-blowing. I just wish Sean Murray would release the ...
Well because SteamOS can easily be installed alongside Windows and gamers can jump back and fourth. Its not rocket science. Gamers can also use pretty much any new Linux OS with Steam and when Vulkan takes off, more and more games will be available for Linux. There's also Mac to think about. If MS didn't care about keeping gamers on Windows, why would they bother creating their own graphics API? Why would they bother having Windows Store?
Sony, Amazon, Microsoft, Google and Steam are going down this route. They wouldn't if it wasn't viable. Today's limitations are not tomorrow's limitations. We also do not know what the pricing model will be. Maybe there will be a subscription option but don't we already subscribe for online play on consoles? However I can see them offering the user the ability to buy individual games and pay a small subscription for the service that will include the ability to play with ot...
