Investments give a return on your money. Kickstarter is more like patronage.

Im not sure if this is still true, but in years gone by games were quite often timed to the console CPU speed - so if your PC CPU was twice as fast as the consoles, the cutscenes/animations/everything would run at double speed. With the original Xbox you could do a CPU upgrade with off the shelf parts since it was…

I might or might not play it. It's coming out on PC as well so.

I'm glad that made some sense (and that was the simplified version).

Hmmmm.... That's an interesting question, but you'd have to ask an actual game developer how that works exactly. They might not be able to tell you for security reasons, but anyways if it's anything like the old generations of consoles then the software looks for specific hardware configurations and and they're might…

It varies. The #1 issue is that every console has a proprietary operating system and API (application programming interface) that they rely on to do a lot of fundamental work.

Several things are missing from a PC to allow it to run either consoles games. While both PS4 and XBone are using x86 architecture, the libraries necessary to run the hardware (not the games) does not exist in windows. you would know these things as Drivers in windows. On top of that Windows lacks the encryption of…

So, the BIOS is what recognizes the media. That is why when you use a emulator, they ask you to dump your own BIOS from your console to use it (though you can easily find BIOS files online).

There are extra pieces in there that are not part of a standad PC, and the operating system, while based on windows, is very different

Presumably what Rzmmdx Leetuber said, or something with the disc's laser/firmware.

While Xbox One and PS4 components are derived from standard off-the-shelf parts, they are still derived. For instance, the Xbox One GPU is derived from the Radeon HD 7000 series, but it's still a custom GPU and features custom instruction sets, so it wouldn't be compatible with an off-the-shelf Radeon. You're going to…

If you'd buy the graphics card and everything that the xbox one has inside...

Very secure software, combined with specific hardware(Not sure the exact part(s)). That's it.
Essentially, the reason that you can't put a disc from a console into a PC is because the disc was designed to be used with the console, and disc is designed to only be read when certain software is present, or using a…

It is mostly due to how the files are stored on the disc than the hardware.

Stop copying my pictures D:

I'm a White American, and my wife is Japanese, and our son is half. We all live together in Japan, and people here always stare at us like we are Martians. If I open my mouth and start speaking Japanese, they stand back and gasp. This is my life, every day.

I am.

It kinda looks like it might be, but I think it won't be, people are saying it'll be fire/psychic

I like the OLED screen better. I'm definitely buying the original. Plus, the heftiness just feels great with a gaming handheld, at least for me. Anyone else preferred the PSP1000 over the others?

Oy, I meant to say "event Pokemon" but the term was slipping my mind. Yeah, basically, the free Pokemon you can download at stores and through Wi-Fi. Often shinies and legendaries. (right now at GameStop you can get shiny legendaries, ha ha) There will usually be players who miss one and would still be willing to…
