You have to realize not everyone is going to use this for Piracy
For example my bro has over 60 PS3 games and he has broken 3 PS3 in the past because of the Blu Ray drive failing
With this he only need a External 1.5TB HDD for around £75, he will keep the games because he's a collector but at the same time he knows the chances of the Blu Ray drive failing are far lower than before
Game, Store, Forum and News servers rarely go down
Community and Friends list go inactive but this usually lasts for about 1 minute
Well I would not go to that extreme
For sure console users have Microsoft, Nintendo and Sony hand up their asses and they accept anything even if its total garbage as good, even Apple can be put with them
With PC you have a 100% open platform where the consumer has its say, and if Steam turns to shit we will skip to the next but I doubt that will happen
Steam for me is the perfect system.
Gabe, Valve and Steam have made all the right moves and if anything it can only get better
Like I have said before Steams main revenue is its community because at the end of the day if Valve did not have 25 Million users on its service it would be dead
What If a want a disc version with Steamworks
For example steam games are cheap but sometimes the publishers don't allow the prices to come down
Assassin's Creed 2 is £29.99 on Steam because Ubisoft will not reduce the price yet and I got it for £9.99
OK Assassin's Creed 2 is not Steamworks but its still a good example, Steam do have great prices but its entirely up the the publisher to set the pricing
Well these was put up on Valve's home website at E3

This is wrong unless Valve gave it to Gearbox
Valve acquired the right to Duke Nukem when 3D realms went into liquidation

I'm not great with spelling and grammar but to tell you the truth I would of checked before publishing the article
Oh well
Killzone 3 may be the best graphics on Consoles
Nothing on any platform has come close to toppling Crysis or Crysis Warhead
CryEngine 2 & 3 = Realtime all the time
The difference is Crysis 2 = realtime all the time
The Fixer - Looks average
Killing Day - Interesting but average
3. Ubisoft's Cancelled game - looked good
Redwood Falls - Looked amazing
Factor 5 game - No comment
Deep Rift - Looks average
Eight Days - Looks good
Getaway 3 - Could of be Game of the Decade (for me)
Elveon - Not for me
WarDevil: Unleash The Beast Within - Not bad, not for me
Coded Arms Assault - Not for me
Project Offset - Was PC exclus...
That was Crytek's plan from day one
Cevat said himself that they never intended to incorporated Very High mode, they did it because they knew no game would look greater than it till their own squeal.
To this day they are correct, no game has matched it only Crysis Warhead and on top of that CryEngine 2 & 3 is realtime all the time
CryEngine realtime all the time
No pre-rendered shadow that is just another lay of texture
Everybody thinks that MLAA is the best anti aliasing but the fact is I can still see aliasing with it on
I can only see myself no aliasing on Crysis when I run: 16xaa, 16xQaa and 32xaa, anything below 8xaa and I can see aliasing on object instantly
Also GT5 runs 1920 by 1080p 60fps in menu screens and 1280 by 1080p 30fps in game
With 3D I predict 1280 by 720p 30fps per image
The thing most people don't understand is the CryEngine renders everything in realtime
If Crytek say PS3 and 360 is maxed out I would say I believe them
If NaughtyDog or GurillaGames don't say the ps3 is maxed out, its not realtime
If Bungie or Epic Don't say the 360 is maxed out, its not realtime
Crytek only do Realtime all the time
Valve have done proper ports of most of its games to the Mac so and can see them do it for the PS3
Looks great
If they was to bring Left 4 Dead to PS3 they could wait for Left 4 Dead 3 then Sell it as the Dead Box
Left 4 Dead
Left 4 Dead 2
Left 4 Dead 3
All for £50 - $70
I think it will be
Half-Life 2: Episode 3
Counter Strike 2
Left 4 Dead 3
This is great news
Thing is this PSJailbreak can be updated
So Sony release Firmware 3.42
Then PSJailbreak 1.1 Comes out
Sony can patch the problem but software can be broke, also has Sony forgot about legitimate users using USB stick, they can't just remove that feature
I believe this will be harder for Sony, patching will not cut it in honest my opinion
Can't see myself ever using PSJailbreak or anything like it, I'm a PC ...
