  The lifecycle of the console will obviously guarantee that you will get whatever games you want out of it. After the very first showing for an hour and a half, i don't know what anyone was expecting at that time. Reply +17

  Why do they always include characters that are obviously just different transformations as another character? Saying 80 is obviously a lot until you realize there arent that many Reply +1

• "Free-to-play will change everything."

• inutaihanyou 14/12/2012

  Why do people use "why would anyone want to oppose trying games out for free?!" as some sort of excuse for F2P gaming? That's what demo's are for already. I don't feel the goddamned need to have micro-transactions in my game, i want a complete experience from start to finish, is that so wrong? DLC for small portions of the game experience is bad enough as it is, when you start breaking the entire game into pieces just to because the publisher/devs are greedy fucks who want to milk you and make it completely obvious that's what they are doing, that's when it turns shitty.

  I'd ask EG, why don't they ask these guys themselves our own concerns about whether or not the consumer actually wants this kind of bullshite? Or about how there is more than one avenue for success in the industry without having to listen to every person's pitch about how their way is the only way?

  "Couldnt be bother reading this. More gmaes on pc than consoles. Fact. Get over it sucker."
  
  
  
  I don't really care about what your fanboy bias's are in relation to PC's and consoles. Especially in regards to whether or not PC's have more "gmaes" than consoles or whatever you said.
  
  
  I was correcting your wrong statement only for others who might be looking and think you have an ounce of credibility. Reply 0

  "both the current gen console gpus are based on designs from gpus that were released for PCs in what, 2007 at the latest? "
  
  2004 and 2005 respectively actually. Xenos is based on the Radeon RV400 series with custom elements like unified shaders and a DX9 equivalent feature set.
  
  Meanwhile, PS3's RSX is a literal Geforce 7800.
  
  
  "given the lead time to pin down the hardware spec so that the devs can actually produce games for launch, if those consoles are being announced next year with a view to releasing sometime a year after that, whatever they use is probably going to be largely based on the current gpu generations."
  
  What does this even mean? Games are being made NOW for the target specifications of these consoles and have been for a while, there is nothing to "pin down".
  
  And Durango is being announced next year and launched next year. just as 360 was.
  
  
  Everything else you said was either wrong or off base in regards to actual my point, which was;
  
  
  Consoles are closed boxes. Their main advantage from a performance standpoint is giving developers a single set of specs to work with and making a game based on those.
  
  From that they can optimize and make games utilizing the hardware to its fullest potential. It is not my opinion, it is just a fact that PC games today are built with 2005 hardware in mind, and when those confines are lifted to 2012-2013 hardware, the lowest denominator also is significantly raised.
  
  You don't have to take my word for it, the jump in base fidelity is from the dev's mouths themselves. Reply 0

  @uninspiredcup
  
  "Pcs are a generation ahead. If you want to see superior people graphics, buy a pc."
  
  
  I have to keep saying it, but as long as this ignorance persists, it's necessary.
  
  I'd ask people who think like yourself why devs like Epic and Square Enix put out tech demo's for "next generation"? Because its currently not the next generation.
  
  Whereas PC's drive the upper limit of graphical fidelity, consoles drive the lower limit and the base standard.
  
  As 99.9% of all games are made for current generation consoles in mind, the true fidelity of the hardware you have in your PC is being under-utilized dramatically, which is why you can max out all games that come out at this point in time with little effort. Unless of course you think that BF3 at 1080p and 60fps on a GTX680 is the best that card can do? Lol.
  
  The fact of the matter is, devs aren't going to make a game that utilizes the full effect of global illumination, the full effect of tessellation, the full effect of physX environment simulation such as true reaction to wind, collision, and deflection, if it compromises the feasibility of the game across the platforms. Not only in regards to console, but all the configurations a PC has to deal with.
  
  When the next consoles are announced next year, devs won't have to settle for a DX9 equivalent feature set with 500mb ram and a 240gflop GPU anymore. Thus the base game dramatically changes.
  
  This is nothing more than common sense.
  
  For a console gamer like me, i don't begrudge PC gamers for their hobby of higher resolutions, higher framerates, and better textures, but don't think for a second that what you have right now is going to be so special in the not too distant future, your gonna have to upgrade that card fairly quick soon.

  And like someone else above said, i think he just lacks the history of a console gamer perspective like a lot of us have growing up with genesis/megadrive, NES, SNES and the like. They aren't just something to be looked down upon because your not familiar with their ins and outs.
  
  And i say that as someone who has full respect for PC gamers at large, their community, and their opinions. Just treat me as a console gamer with the same respect(even if you don't play console much or don't take to it) and we'll be fine. Reply 0

• inutaihanyou 14/11/2012

  I have issue with things he says sometimes (like a section during the mailbox when someone asked about halo 4, he went off into an incomprehensible rant about console fps and how much he believes they are inferior to 'real fps' on PC. He didn't even talk about the game itself, when a "i don't really play console fps so i could not give my opinion on it" would have done just fine)
  
  
  But in general, i really love his commentary, he's a funny guy, and seems to know his stuff about the industry or at the least he'll say SOMETHING that you agree with. Reply 0

• Nintendo admits Wii U to be sold at loss

• inutaihanyou 25/10/2012

  The controller, while being apart of the console set itself, has a lot of components to develop and manufacture. Hopefully the cost of this tablet controller will work out for Nintendo in the long run for all the money they've pumped into it, we're talking half the price of the console here, that's no small deal.

• BioShock Infinite: Industrial Revolution game exclusive for pre-order customers

• inutaihanyou 22/10/2012

  Obviously because they want to be completely sure you are buying their game new instead of used or pirating. They want to sweeten the deal. And i can understand that from a business standpoint of a high budget game that depends on early sales. Its better than DRM imo with passcodes. Reply +10

• BioShock Infinite explodes back on the scene with new trailer

• inutaihanyou 22/10/2012

  To be clear; a majority of the staff who have left the project were working on the underlying systems. Now that they are out of the way and the game is on its way towards release, they really have nothing left to do at Irrational and so they left to other projects. Irrational has a habit of burning through certain development positions dating back to the original Bioshock's development period.

• PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale's Big Daddy and Little Sister are penned by Ken Levine

• inutaihanyou 04/10/2012

  I hated Bioshock 2. You could tell it didn't have Levine and 2K Boston's craft segued into with with the tacked on versus multiplayer modes and completely fabricated inclusion of characters never mentioned to exist in the first game.
  
  Whereas with Bioshock 1, there was a total cohesion of the world in my view, that you could go back and explore any time. Looking forward to Infinite Reply -1
