I'm fine with Sony transitioning from disc to digital slowly. First, offer Day 1 digital games in-line with all the new releases. They're doing a decent job of doing that so far. Second, start pricing the digital games competitively with retail games and offer more discounts. They need to entice more people into…
So much, this.
I seriously want to yell at people, when they start talking about digital-only as some sort of Second Coming of Jebus; only seconds after attacking Microsoft for wanting to "take their freedom away".
They HAVE their freedom. They have the choice between physical and digital. Just because they don't want…
Smart analysis. I think you nailed a key difference.
Here's a simple solution that I'm baffle doesn't exist yet. When you buy the game online it's 5$ less (since you don't have to pay for box/disc/shipping) BUT you can pay an additional 5$ to have the physical box delivered to you at some point, you still get to play the game now, but in some time (can be week since you…
It seems like Sony wants to get where Microsoft does, but they want to let it happen in a more organic manner, not just shoehorning the entire world into digital distribution and online, but giving both options and letting things occur naturally.
You do realize half of what you listed is also on the PS4?
I don't care how fast downloading becomes in the future. I will always take a physical product over digital if give the choice.
Simple explanation: You know how in old games, say like Super Mario Bros, it would slow down if there were too many things moving on the screen? Same premise.
The hair you see up there on The Last of Us characters, they are made of layers and layers of flat polygons. These numerous polygon planes are then textured with images of hair strands, with transparencies (or alphas as we call it) at the tip of the hair image.
I'm arguing about bonds, though. You're saying this new system benefits you: how well does it work for making meaningful relationships and bonding, of capturing the Pokemon spirit?
Realism: Suddenly only ever applies to graphics, period.
Placing the responsibility for policing a community into the hands of the members of said community is a lovely idea…
If giving up your rights to what is yours when you buy it as a consumer is a bitchy thing, then I guess I don't know what is right. Might as well steal the games eh?
As hilarious as Sony's beatdown was (that sharing vid in particular), I have to agree in this particular case. These witless attempts at "jokes" (seriously, how is this funny and not just cliche?) are vandalizing a site that should be trying its damnedest to present as many facts as accurately as possible. And this…
It sucks, doesn't it? As a multi-plat gamer, I've had to take the PlayStation3 trolling constantly. From "PS3 HAS NO GAEMS" to comparing the system to a grill.
I personally take no pleasure in stating memes against the Xbox One, since those get old in days. What I do take pleasure in, however, is watching how Xbox fans…
Go to sleep man, you always feel better in the morning.
It's "newsworthy" because it's funny. It's not even a full article really, more like a stub. They're sharing some humor. You may be an Xbox loyalist who doesn't fine the mockery as funny as everyone else but there are plenty people out there who are happy for this post because it's bloody funny.
Kotaku has traditionally been a very humor-based website. It's not as much as it used to be, but it still posts things like this every now and then.
I think what the folks saying, "how was this a rape joke," are missing is that this is a common line delivered to victims to get them to comply with a horrifically violent sexual act.
Ultimately, we can all choose to ignore the reality of what our words mean (because subtext is just as important as context and surface…
