Everything was running on a PC, because the PS4's hardware isn't finalized yet. However, the PS4 hardware's using x86, so the demos weren't all bullshit - they were likely running on PCs that were on a near-identical spec, possibly even a PS4 devkit.

How in the hell were people actively disappointed when the spec isn't finalized? Do they know what E3 is?

Just as I suspected. They're waiting for Microsoft to make their move before they finalize a spec and price.

Holy FUCK...this is the biggest closure of gaming sites in recent memory...

Here's a question I ask.

Personally, I think the reason they're keeping it secret is because there was no PS4 finalized hardware running at the show at all. They were likely running all those demos on a devkit or a PC (not saying the games were bullshit - running on PC is easy to do with a PS4 game, considering that the Ps4 uses a…

The PS1 Classics will probably run natively on the system, they'll just port the emulator over from the PS3. I think that the streaming will be more of an issue with the PS3 backwards compatibility. They could POTENTIALLY emulate PS2, but I doubt that's likely since the Emotion Engine's a bitch.

Hopefully online play will remain free, since that's one of the biggest draws of the PS3. If they continue that and add new premiums into a pay-only service, I really won't mind.

...so an afk animation in an improper place is suddenly a signifier of the prevalence of rape culture?

Leave it to Squeenix to cobble together a model viewer at the last second since they have jack shit to show in terms of gameplay...

"And now nobody plays shooters the way they used to play them before Halo 'cause nobody wants to."

You kidding? The Cell won't be emulatable on the PS4's processor tech by any stretch of the imagination, they'd have to wait at LEAST a generation before thinking about emulating a PS3.

Make it an option and not a standard. That's been my battlecry for years, and Sony's actually going about it (if these rumors are true).

Why the fuck is it so popular to make games about ADD nowadays?

There's more association than that.

;____; Don't name it GX, that's disgracing F-Zero's memory...

THANK YOU FOR MENTIONING XENOGEARS

Nintendo's only stumble atm is the Wii U. While it's harshly debated that mobile will kill consoles, everyone almost unanimously agreed that mobile would kill off handhelds.

Only part of this article that I disagree with is Apple killing consoles. We've gone through this a million times, iOS software is written for the mobile platform and to keep an Apple TV box affordable they're gonna have to spec it to around phone hardware. The sole advangate Apple has in this arena is cheap…

For everything they do and manage? If you slice it up in terms of Steam management, game development, and research, that's only 100 people per department.
