Not irrelevant in the least, I think. See, it is a moralist opinion, not one of mere function or economy. Ever since the invention of so-called media with the advent of the printing press, consumers have owned that which they have purchased. Then, they were free to trade or keep their property as they saw fit. The…

Of course the PS4's GPU is incapable of 4k gaming, because the industry is incapable of 4k gaming. Literally, it cannot happen outside of certain titles like Call of Duty, because it is still way too expensive. In the Ps2 era, average game development costs ran from 1.5 million to 5 million, this gen those costs…
At this current architecture, it is impossible for them to drop the price by $100 even without the camera, simply because the CPU and GPU are on the same board as opposed to what Nintendo and Sony are doing by casting in the same die. This saves much in production costs, while making the system more power efficient…
Ecstatic, though I will still not be purchasing the new Xbox because I hate Microsoft.
My suggestion is simply to not be so superficial. Many of those games were as deep and as large as some of the best games out today, you just have to use your imagination to fill in where the technology does not do it for you. Besides, I would take ugly graphics over ugly narratives like we find in many modern games…
Too true. Sony had some language at their PS4 reveal saying they were committed to the entire library of PS1 and PS2 being available for streaming, but this was likely hype. Nintendo has the same problem with its own virtual console of securing rights. However, if Sony is truly dedicated to their Gaikai technology,…
I am not running away, I simply dislike spending more than 45 seconds at a time speaking to persons of your caliber.
You are aware of what is called the "Dunning Kruger" effect, yes? If I were to explain, you would still not understand.
So, playing Dota2 makes you ignorant. Yep, I am bursting at the seams waiting to play.
Yes. Actually I do not know any Russians, but I have some wonderful friends I met in Brazil who I play with regularly in various games. One is an engineer and the other a philosophy student in college. So, I really have no idea what you are talking about. Also, you are a xenophobe, have a nice life filled with…
I can't tell whether you are being xenophobic or just stupid. Either way, there is no apostrophe in the word "Russians." I am not big on grammar, but if you are going to hate on foreigners, it is best to do so in proper English.
In Gaeilege, the term is Soccer. They actually invented the word as an insult to English big game hunters, who called themselves "Sportsmen." So, the Irish punned their own word for warrior, oscar, by flipping the first two letters into Socar. Referring to all English sportsmen as such, it caught on in Liverpool and…
Never buy that "association football" crap. The word Socar is Gaeilge, and the British adapted it in part, changing it to Soccer, particularly in Oxford and Liverpool. Actually, the word was originally a dig at English big game hunters, who referred to hunting as "Sport." So, the Irish -in a very Irish way- took their…
Not really PCs. The integrated CPU/GPU on the PS4 is not really something you will see on PC any time soon. Sure AMD has their new "APUs" but those pale in comparison to the PS4 version. Also, the GDDR5 memory bloc and Integrated interface is designed specifically for massive parallel processing, rather than serial…
As the name implies, the game is not about the zombies, but about the characters. Oddly, this is something it shares with "The Walking Dead" which I always felt referred to the human characters rather than the zombies. Anyway, while I am tired of the zombie setting, it is nice that we are seeing some real storytelling…
Memory Prices are dropping drastically, particularly wholesale. Also, since the GDDR5 will allow for both sequential and parallel processing, it lowers game development and porting costs which is really one of the things that held the PS3 back. I doubt they are losing money on the build, especially since the CPU and…
Just what games need. Another lame and sophomoric Suikoden rip-off without an actual Suikoden game.
Yeah. Also, I could mention about how they thought the active sonar could kill them, but then they detonate a torpedo at that range and do not feel a thing. Or, I could mention that the downpull from the sinking ship would easily suck them in, making them get tangled in the wreckage. But meh, it is more CoD. Stupid…
Great report, Jason. And here I thought there was no way you could top your piece on Gearbox/Time Gate.
I was using it in like 1987-88. I will say that its own special brand of DOS was. . . educational, at least, something my older sister endlessly teased me with. Though going to other forms of DOS and finally Windows '95 later was quite a shocker.
