Of course parts of the game would have to be removed, but nothing as ridiculous as all the stuff you mentioned. Remove a bunch of small details, particle effects, lower the textures, lower a bunch of stuff and yes, you can run a game with practically everything that is originally included in the current gen version...

*sigh*

“that games like Arkham Knight could “easily” be downgraded”

I have both a PS3, and a PS4 and I didn’t buy it for the graphics. In fact, I didnt’ buy the PS4 at all and would likely still be a holdout if it wasn’t gifted to me. I haven’t touched my PS3 in MONTHS even though I have a backlog of games to play still. The PS4 just runs faster, smoother, and much better. The…

I told you. The entire core. The idea that there isn’t much of an upgrade, that games like Arkham Knight could “easily” be downgraded, that it’s in a company’s best interests to spend money developing subpar products that probably won’t move enough units to make up for the costs of porting it to an EOL platform.…

Incorrect.

How about you try re-reading my response. All the way through this time.

All this proves is that Ouya can legally do this. It doesn’t prove that it isn’t shitty of them to do it.

They’re forgetting, Kickstarter is a grass-roots funding platform, not a pre-order system.

Registering the domain after they announced it, asking $58,000 for them to get it from you. I don’t care what “services” you think you are doing for the community, you are domain squatter trying to get rich because you grabbed a domain first.

It’s a major, historical event presented without commentary. Your reply makes no sense because there is no discussion. He simply shared a tweet that is major news. There is/was no talking about it.

As I said in another comment, I have no need of this expression, as no one ever calls me racist (I’m not white), except maybe on the internet. However (and, again, as I said in another comment), I’d like to know how much self-righteous indignation I should reasonably bring to bear against anyone who uses the phrase…

Make a lot of sense. This would be so cool, instead of an open world..

Which is fine, but it does mean that maybe the games you like aren’t the games that gamers like. I’m not saying you should say you should write about games you hate, but if the press for an industry is writing glowing reviews of games people aren’t playing maybe it indicates that the writer isn’t representative of the…

Isn’t this just the state of game development the past few years? Developers are flocking to indie and mobile which are incredibly overcrowded markets. Big AAA games cost obsurd amounts of money to make so studios have been shuttered for games under performing.

Nah. Me too. Then again I’ve dumped about 50 hours into ARK: Survival Evolved. I’m a sucker for that crap.

That’s not weird at all. This is precisely the sort of thing I’ve always wanted in a Bethesda title. Hearthfire was a nice nod in that direction with Skyrim, but this is just on an entirely different level. Anything that allows me to feel like I’m building something that’s my own (not just a housing unit with some…

No doubt the idea came from the success of the Real Time Settlers mod from Fallout 3. Wickedly fun and added a game within a game. I agree that the town management looks really cool.

I already know I’m going to spend waaaay too much time on that “optional” part of the game.

No way, dude, I’m just as psyched. the fact that you can build your own settlement and have an economy means that you actually affect the world around you more than in any previous game in the franchise. The new crafting system based on item properties instead of specific items is a spectacular idea, too, and the…
