It no doubt cost them Gen 8, as no one likes to be peed on and told it's just raining. But, truth be told, a lot of what that machine stood for is more common now, i.e. people streaming media and a lot of the big titles (For Honor, Overwatch, etc) can't be played offline, as the author points out.
In the end, I definitely would have had more respect for them if they had stuck to their principles instead of doing that lying "we can't just turn off DRM" U-turn.
...
Probably was changed, sadly. People are too sensitive these days.
It's definitely possible, but I'm going to say it'll be close. PS4 has a long way to go still.
Off subject and to the left: I often wonder how good Sony would have done if Microsoft wouldn't have crashed out the gate; would it be such an overwhelming success?
Either way, Sony played their hand well this generation, for the most part that is. They deserve their sales.
If Microsoft didn't pick Taco Bell it would surely be Mountain Dew or Doritos. Wait. Taco Bell does have Doritos Locos... well played, Microsoft. You're triangle of death continues.
How about Sony just enable some emulation on the PS4? I would love that.
Otherwise, there's 6 reasons, number 6 being just make it so all the loyalists can defend it on the one-way street that gaming seems to keep swinging.
All and all, if Sony made a PS1 classic, I'd probably buy it depending on what they would dish out.
Who doesn't want to play a game with "Big Red One" in its title?
You beat me to it! But, yes, this exactly.
Oh boy, here we go again. Here, so we can all have the same image stuck in our minds together:

Truth be told, even with the reasons given in the article, I'm still asking the question: why is it frustrating to buy video games?
Maybe it's where I live or I have better luck, because buying games become insanely easier for me after the 90s when it went mainstream. Almost every retail store has them (as opposed to back then when you had a 50/50 shot if the game was there or launched on time), then there's buying online, AND an actual store that sells them as its primar...
Why? That's all I can say. At least the scalpers are going to have a good quarter.
Why are James Bond games all shooters? Easy, because no one wants 007 Racing, or a James Bond soccer dating sim.
It begins again
Oxygen and light mixing with the flame retardant chemicals in ABS plastic. Bonus fact: Nintendo 64 and Gamecube have the same problem, but can't be seen as easy due to the darkness of their plastics.
For that future virtual console, I'm sure
Definitely not. If anything it's gotten easier; regenerating health, no one hit kills (unless it's a headshot in a FPS), and seemingly infinite continues.
All skill went out the window when developers started trying to keep everyone from getting frustrated, but that's how a player got good, in my opinion. Made you think about your next move, not run in and see what happens and try the same thing as quick as someone can hit continue again. Eventually that will become borin...
If you don't like it then don't get it, but don't call one developer's DLC a "scummy cash grab", because that's all paid DLC and Season Passes.
If this was any other developer or game no one would care, because you would be used to it. Now after the whining of Nintendo not joining someone's version of 21st century gaming there's still a problem with the bed you made? Please.
Cool, though we all saw this coming. Now if Nintendo makes more than 5 we can all get one. Star Fox 2 is going to be a delight to finally play.
The Fun Machine turns 21? Well, looking back at the Nintendo 64, I truly don't remember me wanting a console more, being as satisfied, or in more awe. Happy birthday, 64. Thanks for all the memories!
The Dawn of the Dead of video games, at least in my opinion. I'm ready for this release, though I'm still cautious.
I understand that, andrewsquall, but before you start stomping on my face for no reason I was talking about how this "always online" would have made them different than their competitors. I'm not condoning or condemning. I'm talking about individuality. Pushing the industry forward is an entirely different conversation.
