The issue with that isn't their size actually. It's the cost. Optical media is still WAY cheaper than flash media.

I don't think piracy killed the Dreamcast at all. It was still pretty early days for the type of piracy that could arguably kill off a console. With GD-ROM games hitting 800 megs, while most people were on 56k or low-speed DSL/cable (relative to today).

All this talk about how mobile device GPUs now match last-gen consoles and every single "justification" for them is a tech demo. These things are barely above OG XBOX right now, despite the "leaps" in power each year, their GPU performance and developer environment is still way behind consoles and PC (yes, even with…

those fingernails bug the shit out of me.

They are. the colors are just muted.

You can't ~moderate~ me, Plunkett. You can't silence my opinion of Kotaku's unethical and shameful treatment of one of its once prominent, proud features... Yes, you know what I'm talking about... GAME CAKES.

Knew it all along.

That wasn't the argument. Kinect wasn't priced at "$99", it was priced at $149.99. Saying "it was priced at $99... WITH THE CONSOLE!" is patently false. You're buying an XBOX ONE, period. Not a Kinect. So the argument that "it's $99... with the console!" is literally incorrect. See, that's not how business works. You…

No, it isn't. You're pretty shit at business and economics if you think that's how it works.

That still isn't how that works. Pricing structure doesn't work that way. They didn't price Kinect 2.0 at $99 with the console; that's a complete package at $499.99.

Uhh... that's not how that works...

Japan: They've got internet douchebags just like us! Up next: Shigesato Itoi coeeupts Japanese game journalism by rubbing Famitsu's EiC's shoulder one time. COLLUSION! SOCIAL JUSTICE SAMURAI!

Aw man... At least Young Hercules turned out fine!

Character costumes are A+ (mustache person excluded). CG backgrounds are F————, did they even try!?

Eh, I'll do it in half that time...

What? It's worked out exactly as expected. Kojima's getting so much praise for this and the amount of attention it's gotten is probably much more than Silent Hill as a franchise has ever gotten.

Then you don't know Kojima remotely well enough if you think that.

Actually, he wouldn't. Every single time he's been ambiguous about something. he has either been dismissive or given non-committal responses. So yes, he would never play with people when he was vry straight and serious about his answer.

Jesus Effing Christ, Kojima himself flat-out said "P.T." stands for "Playable Teaser" with a straight face. He said there wasn't more to it. With a straight face.

Not necessarily.
