Official *Consoles Are For Losers* thread

good Sony strategy

just multiply last gen's claims by two!

http://www.edge-online.com/news/kutaragi-talks-cell/

He listed the current frame rates
 people are using in their everyday life: 50 to 60 for the TV set and 72
 to 90 for the PC. He said that people will discover a new frame rate
 which will "become the benchmark for the coming generation of digital
 life".

The PS3, with its high-end AV outputs, will allow no
 less than 120 fps. Of course to enable such quality the surrounding
 devices have to match these performances. Furthermore, the new computer
 entertainment which will be introduced with the PS3 means there is no
 clear lines between the forms of entertainment we know today. Broadcast
 and communication will merge into a new form of experience, said
 Kutaragi.

240 frames per second, as if that means anything.

[cool breeze]

Just so you can realize how much Sonyfaggotry is instilled in the middle east. The newspaper this morning had news about the PS4s unveiling with non other than fan mockups used as the official look. As this shit has been done since the PS2.

I wouldn't be surprised if this is from the PS1 days when games were relatively easy to pirate (compared to carts).  I remember visiting stores dedicated to pirated games and mod chip sales.

Ummm yeah I talked about this earlier. I was just proving how obviously sony country Saudi is. Have you ever been?

Not there, specifically, but other places in the middle east in the early and late 90s.  At the time my idea of a 'game store' was stop-n-save software and funcoland.  The stores over there were the same, except everything in there was pirated.  Fairly well made pirated games too; none of that CD-R with sharpie writing on it business.  Though, instead of the real CD art, they just printed the case art on the CD surface, without accounting for circle shape or hole in the center.

I wonder what MS(Activision) has in store for next gen COD,they always had some exclusive shit for 360.

Can't imagine they won't push Bungie's Destiny with the road map that got leaked a few months back.  Every other year from 2013 to 2020 will be a new game, and the years in between will have an expansion pack.  The first game* is Xbox 360 and "720" exclusive until 2014.  Then it might come to PS3 (no mention of PS4) in 2014.  After that the sequels release as normal (on 720, PS4, and PC).  But that's of May last year.

*supposed to be released in 2013, and there's an unveiling at GDC in March.

It's hard to predict what will be the next 'big' game.  The old stories about how Activision was unwilling to publish a modern military game, and when Infinity Ward got their way, it became the biggest thing.  But anyway, if Destiny does take off, and it's a launch game for the 720, it could do a lot to jump start Microsoft's next console.

[Momo]

oh fuck, patcher just goes further off the rails as he posts

[Don Flamenco]

 

either Pachter has a completely fundamental misunderstanding of how hardware and software work together or he's just playing the long con for his analyst business.  Somehow he got to be a game industry news regular when it comes to predictions and opinions about the game industry, but his actual job entails selling people those predictions and opinions.  I'm sure whoever he's competing with knows what's going on...these guys are total wasp ivy league jerks, after all, clever subterfuge is their specialty.

But maybe he knows something we don't-- 120fps 3D HD ports of PS2 games?!   

[Smooth Groove]

I want my 240

[Joe Molotov]

Maybe you haven't heard about the hot new Advanced Micro Devices Inc processors they're using, assholes.

[Momo]

I cant hear you over the sound of me enjoying pong @240fps on my 386

[Stoney Mason]

I think CoD has peaked. A lot of people think it's going to be as massive as it currently is next gen but I think it may end up like GTA, which was "THE" franchise in the PS2 days but lost relevance in the shift to PS3/360.

COD has probably peaked but eventually everything does. Until something derails it though, it's the most popular mp shooter on consoles by a wide margin which is a pretty nice position to be in.

[mjemirzian]

PS4 will run at 10,000,000 FPS (when displaying a single triangle)

[Smooth Groove]

What movie is that from?

[radioheadrule83]

Pachter's a fucking idiot, I envy that he's paid to type and speak utter bullshit

I look forward to the 240fps jibes when we get our first erratic frame rates next gen

[Human Snorenado]

My point wasn't that GTA bombed this gen, but that it was dethroned by CoD. Of course GTA sells massive numbers, as CoD will continue to. But I think there will be another "THE" game next gen that take's CoD's place.

During the PS2 era it was "GTA" this, "GTA" that. Whole sandbox franchises were born out of GTA's wake. That stopped happening this gen, as FPS's are the genre du jour. Coincidentally, the genre CoD is in.

Don't expect whatever the "it" game of this gen to help the weeeeeooooo.

When you earn the benefit of the doubt, you'll get it.  You've basically stated that while there may be games that you're apt to enjoy on other systems, you'll never know because of fealty to some fucking uncaring company.  You reap what you sow.

People [hardcore gamers] tend to overlook Nintendo's games sometimes, but Mario Kart Wii sold over 32 million and New Super Mario Bros. Wii sold 26 million. Every single developer in the world would kill for numbers like that on dull rehashes.

This is quite the opposite from what I've said, and that gets more to the point of what I'm talking about. No matter what I actually say, you'll remember it differently.

"Andrex was talking about why he'd get a PS3 over a 360? More like he'll never get either because he's a fanboy! Lolololol."

[Human Snorenado]

You're full of shit.  You've blatantly said in threads before that you basically didn't know your now precious "mon han" existed before it's nintendofication, but by all means keep your head firmly up your own ass.  Apparently the view in there is just awesome.

[Smooth Groove]

Andrex did make that thread about playing PC games on Linux which had nothing to do with Nintendo. 

Maybe he just likes to play the worst version of every game?  Nintendo almost always delivers in that regard. 

Kinda weird but one man's cup of tea...

Life is much better when you embrace that something you enjoy makes you a target for others. I have 500hrs+ on each of the last 4 iterations of Football Manager.

[Cormacaroni]

for sure, GTA was not the 'signature' game of the current gen - that would be COD. I don't think that particularly needs to be said or should be generating any controversy.  GTA is still a vital, important and 'key' franchise. It might be the signature game again. Or it might be COD. But we'd all be best-served by both of those remaining vital but something entirely different emerging as the signature game for next gen I feel

[Tasty]

Everyone's got their reputations to bear, Andrex.  You certainly have a reputation as a Nintendo fanboy, along with Google and what-have-you.  It's not unwarranted, and you've even admitted to playing it up to an extent.  So, I'll say to you what I've said to many others: You can behave like a joke character and then turn around and get upset when people treat you like a joke character.

That said, I can see your frustration.  That comment you made, as I said, was correct and for the most part a non-controversial statement for anyone who pays attention to that stuff.  It also had literally not one thing to do with Nintendo.  So the fact that you got shitty non-sequitar/ defensive replies from people who (with the exception of Lager, who I'm starting to think is a high-functioning distinguished mentally-challenged fellow with a giant penis) have enough of a brain to parse what you said is probably very annoying and made you feel like there's no point to joining the conversation here.

As Drinky kind of got at, though, it's to be expected and you're going to have to roll with it.  Everyone is a fanboy of something, and if you happen to step on their chosen's toes, you're going to get flak.  And then, sometimes, you just say something wrong/dumb.  As people are generally too busy or just have proper priorities, you can't expect them to come up with much other than a sling at your most well-known foibles.  For Drinky, that's vociferous laudations, for diunx, it's a weird obsession with Metal Gear, for himuro, it's flakiness, for me, it's Donkey Kong and SEGA, and for you, yes, it is unwavering nintardism.

I suggest you learn how to ignore or punch back. 

edit: forgot to mention lager's penis

It used to be a dull annoyance, but now it's becoming a sharper one. The people who Nintendo touched in their naughty places and have a bone to pick are frothing at their mouths for a punching bag, and in lieu of any actual nintards here they've chosen me. I understand that, even if I don't think they necessarily do.

Drinky accused me when I left for a bit last June that I don't take this place seriously enough. Now I'm trying to partake in a discussion and I'll likely be told I take this place too seriously.

Trying to parse when it's OK for one or the other is becoming more of a hassle.

I think it's cute everyone here cares so much about what they think my gaming habits are to constantly tell me they're wrong, but I'd rather just enjoy some games and not have to worry about legitimizing myself to some people on the internet.

taking it seriously means you ALSO own your history as well as your persona. it's not like the rest of us don't have baggage, but...well, i was gonna say we don't salt up the joint whenever we get a blind elbow in the face but i forgot about himu. :-( basically, don't be a himu.

you went FULL NINTARD for a cycle, and you expect us to drop it? and don't whine about the level of "discourse," this place isn't even a shitfleck on the haemerrhoid that is the greater neogaf community as it exists in the asshole of the videogaming interwebs

[Van Cruncheon]

I get shit on for being an unapologetic zeldafag and my past history with Sonic games. It is what it is man. You play up the nintard character a lot and you even go out of your way to battle em. So don't be surprised if a thinly veiled insult about you being a nintard is thrown at you for something that has nothing to do with it.

no you don't. no-one shits on you for being a feg for zelda. we DO shit on you for simping around gaf, though!

[Van Cruncheon]

Honestly though the reason I love the Bore is how everyone gets the "deal with it or fuck off" memo sooner or later, and either you do the latter or learn to curate yourself and figure out what it is you actually want to contribute to the discussion. It keeps this board readable and relatively bullshit-free. Pretending you're on the sidelines and picking it apart is just gonna get you more shit, because you're an active poster here now. Whether you like it or not, that means you're just another anus in this sea of flaming ass.
