Europe has the standard New 3Ds I think.

It gets better. The XL range aren’t called XL in Japan and Asia. They’re called LL there instead.

IMHO there’s a lot of overzealous secrecy in the games industry and I honestly don’t know where a lot of it stems from.

It’s not like if Ubisoft and Activision know that a new GTA is in the works then they are going to go out of their way to produce a superior rival of their own. Even if they tried then the final…

Well if the journalists are going outside the normal process and contacting members of the development team or others who aren’t authorised to issue press statements then that’s the fault of the journalists and that shouldn’t happen. At least not for something like this anyway.

Really? Do they? Or is it just that the publishers want complete control over the PR stream.

Wow, that was one lazily produced article.

I’m not throwing any tantrum. I wouldn’t buy this shite anyway, not at any price and not even with someone else’s money.

99% of those people are salary paid employees or fixed term contractors. I can guarantee you that extra $5 isn’t going anywhere near their pocket.

1000 x This.

I actually forgot that thing existed. PS1 development was hard and never really caught on homebrew game-wise because of limited availability of the toolset.

It’s literally the only way that a virus could brick hardware that I can think of. It would modify the MBR and force a reboot into a scripted low leveling tool rather than the OS.

CDPR are the perfect example. There was literally no reason for anybody to buy The Witcher 3 on PC but millions still paid for it anyway and continue to do so 2 years later simply because they feel that it was worth paying for.

It’s fine. A lot of modern mobile phones can run N64 roms without struggling, even with upscaled visuals.

It could if it started a low level format and the drive was powered off part of the way through.

The other side of that is when pirated versions run better than the genuine ones. Like when HL2 originally launched and pirates could play it offline in peace or when pirates could run Arkham Asylum without having to worry about limited activations.

If the cabinets are anything like their Karaoke machines, they buy cheap used stuff from South Korea via Chinese resellers.

I’m afraid you’re extremely misinformed.

Most of the stuff on that Gematsu list is either indie or a stretch (e.g. an exclusive special edition of Injustice).

That’s because vacation allocations in America are generally terrible. Only the American people can really change that though.

Sony has had a lot.
