@spindie @Attvck01 BIt of an odd take on the steam box but whatever, actually its bridging a gap between console and pc. PC isn't exactly the most social platform when you have friends over.
@spindie I'm sorry, but i only partly agree with your opinion. I understand that you are pointing out we are limited by these console life spans but there are other factors to consider because i think you're looking at things too narrowly;
a) I think we will have other consoles coming out in the following years in an attempt for these developers to gain some of the market share dominated by sony and microsoft. Namely, Steam Box, which will take a console format but will have to availability of upgrading like a pc. Perhaps that way the life span you point out will be increased.
b) Console developers have to grow into the new technology, in other words how amazing were games graphically when the ps3 and xbox 360 first came out? You look back at them and then look at the games developed on new engines in their later years.. there's quite a jump isn't there regardless of their life spans. What i'm getting at is that we have a new generation.. and we only initially started experimenting with it, so there's a lot to work with. They say that technology doubles every 2 years or so, so i think by the next generation we will have a LOT of processing power, but not know what to do with all of it.
I'm not a die hard person for consoles, as i like PC too, which I prefer a lot to be honest, but I think you're jumping to conclusions too early, and too eagerly because all we have is speculation... None of said consoles are out yet. Therefore, i guess we have to wait and see.
For the record, OF COURSE PC WILL BE FAR SUPERIOR, WE DEVELOP GAMES ON THEM FOR **** SAKE.
@focuspuller "and what i dislike is someone attatching their own beliefs to someone else's tragedy and life to feel important..."
isn't this what you're doing by making a big deal out of a religious persons respects to a recent death? by flaming their religion? You don't even deserve to feel offended because you never even knew them. Shutup mate.
@Noformation @Attvck01 10 for effort on the comeback: and SWAT doesn't deal every single burglary or offence commited under the sun, thats why we have the police dipshit.
@Noformation I'd rather have one person try to stop them instead of noone. You're such a logical person when you're in the comfort of your own home at your computer, not out on the street everyday risking your own life.
i'm really anxious to see how this plays out as a release for pc, and then 2 gen's of console; new and old playstation and xbox respectively. I think they've got quite a lot on their plate in terms of updating, scaling and tweaking each of the 5 versions of the game, and i hope the service doesn't suffer in terms of that.
People leave jobs all the time, on the grounds that they want to pursue other things - and fair play to him... but a whole article dedicated to this is beyond me.
Can game spot do an article on my conversion from full fat to skimmed milk? I've got a lot to explain about that.
You get so many hilarious positions when players collide on Fifa, so either fix the impact engine first or don't release this game with a 3+ rating haha.
