I’m not understanding this properly either. I ALREADY use a main PC and a GPD Win Max portable gaming PC. And I can sync my saves between devices no problem. Got it a year ago and it worked fine then. And it even worked as far back as when I got my first GPD Win, around the time the Nintendo Switch got released a…

They’re only telling us that because it makes much more sense to them, financially, to not have BC. They’d much rather people buy new games for their brand new shiny console than play games they already have, which doesn’t bring Sony any new money. It’s perfectly understandable, from a business perspective (although…

Sony’s problem (and I say that as someone who owned every PS system out there, except the PS5 - because duh, can’t buy one anywhere), is that they’re still stuck in a marketing mentality from the 80's and 90's. They’re still trying to sell a product, while the competition (Microsoft) is trying to sell you an entire…

Nintendo is probably the player I’m expecting the less from in the future, if the past is any indication. I was tempted at some point to get a Switch lite in addition to my main one, as my kids like to play it a lot too, but then Nintendo doesn’t let people have two “main” devices, so that would mean one or the other…

The thing is, the more we get old, the less time we often get for things like gaming and we often miss good titles we only learn about once it’s too late to buy them. There are tons of good games I missed on the PS3, and even PS2, despite having owned both of these. Backward-compatibility is a good thing. Few people…

Look, I’m all for BC in any console. I always ended up getting all the consoles for a generation, since many decades. What I’m saying is that I always find ironic that fanboys of any kind gets to defend removal of features as a good thing.

My main gripe with consoles and BC, is that it’s mostly the only thing out there…

This is super ironic to me. Let me tell ya, I’ve been served, time and time again, the eternal argument AGAINST backward compatibility by Sony fanboys saying that they much prefer Sony invest its money in making new games instead, and that BC was for Xbox losers, that anyone who wants to play old game should just keep…

It’s stupid then if it costs next to nothing to not include. Because I would’ve bought one if it had one. But since it doesn’t, then I didn’t buy one. And I’m sure I’m not alone in this situation. That’s money Microsoft doesn’t get by having people not buying their console and spending money on games and accessories.

Al…

Depends on how you look at it and how deep you’re a slave to the gaming fomo mentality. Personally, I gave up on this many years ago, when I realized I simply game to have fun. I don’t care about playing that specific latest game right now. I’ll play it sometime in the future. Or not at all. I don’t care because I’m…

My Xbox One S is still being used as my main Blu-Ray / 4K disc player in my living room. Because however we like to look at it, streaming services, even at 4K still offer a lesser image quality than physical media. So the lack of a disc drive on the Series S is the only thing that actually prevents me from buying one,…

VR will probably be more “mainstream” the day it becomes it’s own thing, and not a “platform” depended on another exclusive one to work. Like, game consoles don’t work only on TV sets from the same brand. They work on any TV set that have the right input ports. VR will need to get like this to mature beyond its…

I’m in the same boat here. It’s fun, but even having a Quest and a good enough gaming PC for VR, I’m still waiting for something that will make me want to play in VR more than on a traditional gaming setup.

Thing is, every time a company updates a a product with a new look, I’m super suspicious, as a redesigned logo or package is often the trojan horse used to reduce the size without people noticing too much. You know, divert the public attention somewhere else...
Whenever you see something like “New look, same great…

I think it’s a little weird that Perfect Blue is in a “horror movie” list, as I think it’s more of a psychological thriller, but I guess it can send out similar vibes as a horror movie at some points with its unsettling scenes and soundtrack.

For me (and that’s me), I find these kind of email tactics f-ing creepy. I mean, I have the same reaction when I simply browse an online store and then a day or two later, getting an email from them saying something like “hey, we noticed you looked at item XYZ, but have you noticed item ABC in our store?”... This is…

Yes, I too care about both. Although, ironically, I probably won’t buy it because game prices are just insane around where I live. But then again, I’m not like many people who will then use this as a stupid “well, I didn’t intend to buy anyway so no harm done” argument to justify piracy. I’m not going to play a…

The PSP wants to be part of that conversation too.

Piracy has no proven negative (or consistent negative) effect on sales.

Me too. I’m all ok for older games and mostly stuff that you can’t legitimately buy anymore, but this is simply wrong. As a gamer, and even a passionate retro gamer using his fair share of emulators from time to time, this is... just wrong. I mean, how can you label yourself a gamer and not be ashamed of not…

Now, there very well may come a point where there’s going to be so little performance difference between successive hardware that it won’t do that (I suppose there’s a compelling argument we’re approaching that point now)...
