Scrubbing my mind.

I am scarred.

All of my thank you.

le reddit face xDDDDD

Well seeing as it's a different engine you need the original Half Life to play the HL mods. Half Life is Goldsrc and Half Life: Source is well... Source engine.

How did you put this image here? I thought you can't move pictures from ipod into net.

I don't know if it's the same with iOS but with Android I just bluetooth or email it to my PC.

They're onto me.

Yeah but Australia is all up side down so I guess my logic doesn't work there.

 

Anyhow, so you'd rather have 3 major companies rule the Console market?

Just look at the clusterfuck that was the 80's, there was something like 10 consoles out. It and Atari almost led to the death of gaming, luckily Nintendo saved it. Maybe with the larger market there is now those consoles could co-exist but I'd far prefer that open platforms were the dominant markets, it promotes so much more competition and it doesn't split the market.

And it outsold both the Xbox and PS3. But that is not what I am talking about. I may underestimate the power of fanboys but I am not overestimating the size of the wallets of fanboys. If prices rise to something unreasonable it will shift and newer cheaper console manufacturers will rise.

Just like no one buys games in Australia right? Oh wait, they're actually a huge market.

If we end up with loads of consoles it'll be the 80's all over again, and nobody wants that.

SO HAPPY RIGHT NOW.

 

 

Just bought myself some badass music.

Kinda blurry there...

 

 

I'm just sitting here in class, suffering from my allergies.

The shaky cam is deliberate, it's a metaphor for how much it's going to rock my world.

Seeing as I've got a constant connection to the exact same PSN, I'd say it's not a problem with the PSN. Even my Vita connected over WiFi has a constant connection to PSN.

You're on the EU PSN?

It is most likely a problem related to your router or ISP.

I've changed ISP 3 times and my router 4 times since I've had the PS3.

Yes but Microsoft or Sony do not own the right to make consoles. They may own the market now but they are not the only console manufacturers. If they decide to go ape-shit on the prices, other people will see the chance to create a cheaper alternative which consumers will go to if done properly.

You underestimate the power of fanboys, besides, we already have that. It's called the Wii.

Just bought myself some badass music.

That's because of the cut the console maker takes. PC's have no licensing fees because they are an open platform.

but they had a certain style

Ah yes, the lifeless puppet stylistic choice.

"CORPORATIONS ARE EVIL"

Point out where I said that please. Just because I don't want people to give up their consumer rights doesn't mean I hate corporations, I think you need a better understanding of capitalism.

If you seriously can't handle logging onto your new system at all then perhaps consider upgrading your connection

My connection is fine, it's a problem with PSN. Even with ethernet plugged in it still fails.

If I change the MTU it occasionally connects but it's still incredibly dodgy.

Sony has said many times that it doesn't intend to compete immediately with Nintendo and Microsoft in the next generation, and is still aiming for a 10 year life cycle for the PS3.

Sony said that the PS2 had a 10 year life cycle, but the PS3 was released 6 years after the PS2. All that a "10 year life cycle" means is that they'll support the platform for 10 years after release.

Anyway, forcing you to be online when you get a new game is no different that something like Steam.

Except my PC actually works and I have the choice to buy from different stores, not just Steam.

First of all no news has been "announced". This is a RUMOR from Kotaku from a "reliable source", nothing else. So for all we know, nothing of what you just listed will be in the PS4/Orbis whatever.

That's why I never said official announcement.

Sure Publishers may rise the price of retail copies but all that is going to do is drive more people to Digital Distribution. With services like Steam, Origin, Gamefly, Gamersgate, GOG or even Amazon it is a no-brainer to buy PC games online unless you have a really really bad internet connection. And consoles are slowly turning to the way of Digital Distribution as well. Gaming is going to Digital Distribution as a main way of selling games anyway, increasing prices of retail copies would only make it do so faster.

Wrong. Consoles are the biggest gaming market and their markets are controlled entirely by Microsoft and Sony, this means they can price it at whatever they like. Why would Sony/MS care? They get the same cut of money either way.

Is that Tuco's avatar I spy?

It is.

I can all but guarantee this is untrue

Any particular reason?

Required internet connection(?)

As I said, my PS3 was terrible when it came to the internet. If I was still a console player this would mean a no-buy.

the implications for used games here isn't really a big issue to me.

Even when I did play on console I never bought used copies, but this is very bad for everyone. I believe that retail prices are going to spike so that the retailers can make a profit, seeing as almost all of their money comes from used sales. And because of this PC prices are going to rise as well, because it will have become acceptable to sell games at that price.

Just look at what Zenimax and Activision do to PC prices if you don't believe me.

No backwards compability is no big issue for me. I mean, most people who'll buy the PS4 (yep) probably already owns a PS3 and probably a PS2 as well. And PS2's are dirt cheap anyway.

Actually, from personal experience, most people will sell their PS3s to get some money to go towards the new console.

1. Bullshit.

I get this though, if they're changing from cell tech then it's going to be hard to emulate it.

2. I can sympathize.

Sympathizing with corporations is a surefire way to get all of your consumer rights taken from you.

3. The internet age is upon us, so may as well try and speed up the process a little.

The problem I have with this is that my PS3 is the most unreliable piece of tech I've ever used when it comes to connecting to my wi-fi (apart from my Acer tablet, which wont connect at all for some reason).

http://kotaku.com/5896996/the-next-playstation-is-called-orbis-sources-say-here-are-the-details

First news of the new Playstation console (codename: Orbis) has been announced.

No backwards compatibility, locking games to accounts (to prevent used game sales) and forced online connections seems to be the most worrying aspects of this new console.

Thoughts?

There are Vigors which are pretty similar to plasmids.

All I could think of was some Raven themed drink.

AFAIK there's no plasmids in this game.

Rise my thread. Your purpose has been fulfilled.

Dark Souls for PC has been all but announced, I am so excited right now.
