Do I need to remind people that the first xbox was x86?Read this is you want to know more about how little it matters that the architecture is x86 when it comes to emulation.

Hey man, if you want to ally your self with the metacritic kids, no problem, you just go right ahead. Judging from the way you speak to people, I'm sure you'll fit right in. I'd rather stay in the "rational" camp, and go in with cautious optimism, along with the attitude of judging games on...

Did... did you just link to metacritic?

"Your opinions are wrong!"

Not sure why'd you'd think that. Dragon Age 2 was mediocre at worst. I still enjoyed it quite thoroughly. Perhaps not as much as DA:O, but whatever. Same with Mass Effect 3. The entire game was quite amazing at the time, except for the ending, which they made good on through DLC. I really don't...

Sorry if repost:Dragon Age 3 off-screen footage.Pretty good quality though. Looks pretty awesome. I can't help but be excited about this game, however mediocre DA2 was.

Well, that's just absolutely moronic.

How bad did it look?

Hey huh, what's withthis? I presume it's gotta be some legal thing, just so they're able to cover their asses, but what are the implications of this? edit: Yeah, this is probably the same general boilerplate legal language that's in ever terms of use and whatnot. No idea what I was thinking.

Sorry for the further derail, but yeah, I personally think you're right. But, like, I think that's also part of his problem, as in, part of his mental issues. I've seen it before. I see it as people who actually suffer from genuine depression already being ruled by their emotions, making them...

I dunno, I foresee numbers being a bit bigger this generation (given it lasts as long), what with the lower price point and all.

Sony was pretty anti-consumer and developer interests back at the launch of the ps3 though, weren't they? They've turned it around pretty significantly. I'm keeping my hopes up!

Microsoft apparently sending out what amounts to free copies of Killer Instinct.Hey, it's something huh. I genuinely hope Microsoft is able to dig themselves out of this mess. It would only mean more competition for Sony, which always ends up benefiting the consumer.

Yeah, they got sold before the Jak and daxter games I think, seeing as those three games are the last ones Jason Rubin and Andy Gavin worked on.

I literally can not figure out what you're attempting to say. Are you saying that everything in this industry is about making the most amount of money? Because that's demonstrably false. Just look at the amount of love that was put into TLOU for the best example, not to mention games such as...

And then what?

For the third time, money doesn't have to be the only benefit from being a console exclusive developer. I'm not even sure how you can even attempt to dispute this, given the quality of games that studio has churned out over the course of their existence.

I want to say that I've heard of this before. Didn't they recently add an option to purchase a monthly PS+ subscription at a fairly high price, but kept the three-monthly subscription the same?

That would be true if Naughty Dog wasn't Sony biggest first party developer, as far as I know.

You're grasping at straws here. You're somehow implying that Sony would reprimand Neil Druckmann in any sort of meaningful way if he were to say something negative about the company, while the easier explanation would be that they are simply happy about their relationship, and the position they...

None of that puts into question the validity of what he says.

I'm personally not of the belief that PC gaming is dying (it's quite obviously gaining in traction, and more than likely will keep doing so), but I don't see a source in that article, so I wouldn't be too sure about those numbers.

Again, the average spec of a computer is probably as much of a roadblock to advancement as consoles are. Also, wouldn't it be logical that a developer would be able to focus more on improving things such as gameplay if they don't have to keep up with ever changing hardware? I personally think...

What an absolutely ignorant point of view. I recently listened to an Idle Thumbs podcast with Neil Druckmann, the creative director for The Last of Us, where he said that one of the benefits of not only working on console exclusives, but also as a first party developer for Sony, is that they can...

I'm pretty sure there's pretty solid information out there. But I would think that, for the ps4 at least, the simple fact that it's 1080p(or 900p in BF4's case) and 60 fps should draw you to buy them on next gen instead of current gen. As for the exclusives, there's NFS on ps4 now as well...

Also, I thinkresistance 2, which was released 2 years after launch, looks quite a bit better thanresistance 1, a launch game for the ps3. I personally haven't played them, but perhaps someone else could chip in on that.

An interesting game or two coming out in launch window is plenty of justification for most early adopters. I'm not sure why you're trying to justify not getting a console at launch. People who buy at launch generally are people who want to be "in the thick of it", who want to have the new and...

On a totally tangentially related note, does anyone have some articles or technical documentation or something about how optimization works for consoles, and how the switch over to x86 is going to affect that in the long run (if it somehow makes it so that there is less of potential gap between...

Eh, it's subjective*. The DS4 is supposed to be pretty awesome, so, guess we'll see. I get what you mean though, but I don't really mind the gamepad as long as I'm on level field as the people I'm playing against.

I don't think BF4 on PS4 will be an inferior experience. You have to be a real stickler for details to call the graphics the console's pushing "inferior". Perhaps technically so, but practically, it's in the same ballpark. And it definitely won't be inferior gameplay-wise, seeing as you get 64...

Yeah, the XO is definitely a second buy for me, if not only for the fact that the media aspect of their console isn't going to be available over here in Europe at launch, or probably not even close to launch. Plus, with the quality of games Sony's subsidiaries are producing lately, I feel I...

You weren't kidding.

Clearly, objectively speaking, the PS4 has games. 4 of which are free to play, even. Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag Battlefield 4 Blacklight: Retribution Call of Duty: Ghosts Contrast DC Universe Online DiveKick Escape Plan FIFA 14 flOw Flower Injustice: Gods Among Us Ultimate...

Behave. I never even made the implication I personally would be buying at launch. In fact, I'll be waiting a couple of months, because I personally do care about games. Early adopters generally don't, is what I'm saying.

In what world does that footage not look amazing? If that's the baseline of what I'm getting this generation on consoles (which it won't be), I'd be fucking ecstatic. I'm also pretty sure that even though they've been developing for about 2.5 years now, they probably only got final hardware in...

The multiplayer was quite well received by a significant chunk of people. Playing 250 mp games and "getting tired of it" really isn't the MO of your average TLOU player.

I really liked D3. Put over 300 hours into it, which more than returns the 50 bucks I spent on it. I'm looking forward to this expansion, seeing as apparently D2 also became what it was starting with its expansion. I have a moderate amount of hope that this'll be good.

It wasn't a failure sales-wise. Bottom line is all they're interested in.

Sony owns Naughty Dog. You need to buy a PS3 to play one of the most critically acclaimed games in recent history, from one of the most critically acclaimed studios. Whether or not you or me invest some sort of magical legacy, such as the one Mario has, into these games is entirely irrelevant...
