You're looking at the wrong bit, while you'd be correct if they left it at that, they didn't. They go on to mention the number of shaders, processing power, etc. And those fall in the area of the 290/290x.

Let the conspiracy theories begin? Because lets be honest, that's where this is going to go.

Negate is actually an understatement, comparatively speaking the PS4 and Xbox One are both made out of much less expensive parts, to the extent that if this machine actually existed, even pricing it at $900 I'd expect them to be selling at a loss. Honestly, this level of advancement past the average PC is something…

I'll be blunt, the simplest red flag I saw in the specs they posted was this: The custom GPU they mention would be based on the R9 290 or 290X, which is pricy enough that even ignoring the rest of the specs, they would have to charge a huge amount, and probably still wind up taking a loss.

Nowhere near long enough to get into the depth of weirdness and awesomeness that is Xenogears. Also, I'm highly disappointed in you for spoiling one of the greatest games of all time Kirk, Xenogears is fully deserving of discovery as you play. Although I do still replay it regularly, and find some new element of the…

They did fine justifying it during the earlier part of the game where she was just surviving. Also, to note here I didn't mean it was horrifying, I mean it used over the top horror cliches. Sort of like a B movie.

I have to admit, I love those things. I wouldn't mind seeing them make a return (I still have a pair in real life).

I just finished the game a few days ago, and the same thing struck me, those were my absolute favorite elements of the game. My problem is that it seems as though the developers had a disagreement over which way to take the game, since it varies between gritty portrayals of dealing with a hard situation, and well...…

Yeah, I got sick of dealing with separate high security passwords for each account. I just use LastPass now, generate all my passwords out of that, and don't reuse them. Since my email has two step verification I mostly run everything out of that (though I do have a few emails setup to feed into one).

I actually feel as though the apology was well written. He explicitly states that he takes responsibility for his choices, and that the explanation for what he did is just that. Maybe I'm being credulous, but personally I think it seems genuine.

Odd, I can't reply to anyone in this discussion. Anyone else having this issue?

Ok, I'm downright bemused. I've seen bigger patches than that, but they were in MMOs, generally highly unoptimized MMOs still in testing, and they were stuffed full of content. I have jack all idea what the hell they would need 13 GBs for to enable online content, or even for a huge raft of fixes.

This is among the most surprisingly well written things I've stumbled across on Kotaku. It's both detailed and succinct, covering the salient points without belaboring them, and manages social commentary as well as insightful feedback for the game developers. I can only say that I hope they change their game, as I…

This is disturbing on a multitude of levels, ranging from the practical (implementation, and lack of access to important information that falls under this), to the implications of controlling the ability of the populace to access what they wish. Another thing that really disturbs me here is that it's opt out, and…

Maybe I'm pessimistic, but every time this general subject comes up my thoughts go to the same place. Holding out hope is just a way to hurt yourself here. Disney has already demonstrated their position. What was previously known as Star Wars is over. At this point, the situation supports not just low expectations,…

I agree with you until the last handful of words there, while both Microsoft and Nintendo have leftover clout in terms of unreleased titles, Microsoft hasn't had time yet to offload its consoles to those who will simply hang around after last gen fully dies, whether over Live, or out of a simple sense of continuity.…

You typed this while I was writing my own post, but I pretty much agree with your ordering of console successes, though I think Microsoft will be significantly more successful than Nintendo this generation.

Honestly, the doomsayers rarely get it right in this sort of case, instead it usually tends towards a sort of mundane day to day slog. Which is what I forsee going on. I don't expect either striking gold, nor simply letting things be. Nintendo will continue to release significant first party titles, suffer from poor…

I honestly don't know what to say to you on this, since I wasn't there, and my thoughts are based on what was said about you by people who admittedly had reason to be upset. Regardless, a direct response on Kotaku never even occurred to me, so my respect for addressing me directly on this point. It also makes me feel…

... I actually miss those free AOL CDs. They were so multi-functional.
