C'mon, really? You're going to equate a pair of trackpads with force feedback to what was essentially a joystick without the stick?

Seriously, I don't know why everyone got so excited over it.

PC has had this tech for ages. Where do you think consoles are getting it from?

We wouldn't even have gamepads, we'd still be using joysticks with thumb triggers.

It'd be more like MS launching with a 50 year back catalogue and a great digital distribution platform to buy them from.

They already have one. It's called "Steam".

Following the links from the YouTube description, you can see it's a little under 29 MB. Not quite 64K, but it's still impressive.

Frank Gorshin's Riddler was absolutely terrifying.

- PA posted a comic in August 2010 where a character saves 5 slaves and then leaves because his quest is done, despite the desperate pleading of a further slave who says they're "raped to sleep by the dickwolves".

It does still look great, but I'd still love to see a remake just so they can add better controls and a better camera.

The secret is, many PC gamers already want to use gamepads. They'll happily use the control scheme which fits the game they're playing. MMO, MOBA or strategy games? Keyboard and mouse. Racing, fighting or platforming games? Gamepad.

Sometimes we like to see how the peasants live.

It does.

So, you take the best of a PC (an open, easily upgradable platform with near unlimited customisation), and combine it with the best of consoles (a minimum hardware standard and control scheme which all developers can rely on), and this is somehow got people posting it'll be the worst thing since the 3DO?

Established rules?

Why do you think they'd directly copy the existing games? Blizzard didn't make World of Warcraft a real-time strategy game. Square's Final Fantasy MMOs aren't turn based JRPGs. Mythic didn't make players measure out distances on a table to play Warhammer Online. Turbine didn't make players roll dice every six seconds…

Rockstar never fails to deliver a massive toy box.

They tried that with the Gamecube.

Despite my best efforts, I've been completely unable to develop psychic powers. As I'm sure you can imagine, this limits my ability to determine the content of text without first reading the text. Of course by doing so I have already subjected myself to the objectionable content and can no longer avoid it. I…

I can't wait for this fad to die.
