[PS3] Next-next-gen

Everyone chimes in about larger drives, more downloadability, larger multiplayer integration, multiple concurrent accounts (OMG THE FUTURE IS HERE), even more edges on the polygons (and naturally more bloom), and expanding libraries to include legacy products.


Dear Sony,

Don't sell me a $400 gaming computer. I already have a gaming computer that does all of the above and probably more than your new hardware will. Please improve what you have now as an admitted half step and just fine-tune hardware and promising to deliver software title quality. Don't slowly remove features from your product this time around. Don't make something just because you feel Nintendo pressured you into pushing forward your schedule. Make the Vita worthwhile, please. Give me games for it or software that sells the damn thing.

Don't try to invent something. Your company has had a ton of financial woes and trying to put media on Red-Ray discs or pushing 3D as some sort of capsule I slink into and waffle and hump my way into high scores will just scare me away. If you want to mimic the Surface or the WiiU tablet or replicate your competitors with PS All-Stars, do it right. Don't do it just to put it on the resumé so it looks like you've got the same product.

tldr; make shit like Japanese know how to

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I'm waiting for them to suggest using their streaming service to introduce that as their media delivery format.

They're on the right track trying to be Steam in accessing your games anywhere you can get your account online....but streaming content is not yet viable. Just like Microsoft reports about them forcing online to use the system.

The bandwidth can't be supported by enough customers. Many people don't have/don't want their system online. These guys are shooting themselves in the foot by trying to force it if they do.

LET ME SIT IN MY CAVE WITH THE LIGHTS OFF. GIVE ME MY CHEETOS AND ONE CONTROLLER. LEAVE ME ALONE.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Calllllllllllllllled it. And I'm sure that it'll only be for PSN+ since that's valuable bandwidth. And maybe even making you repurchase shit you have on PS3. Or a "PS4 license" bullshit.

I really hope the "EyePad" tablet comes to fruition. Also lol Square Enix "WE ARE MAKING A FINAL FANTASY GAME. THAT IS ALL."

But the biggest laugh I got was Metzen of Blizzard sucking their cocks in "we've always had console gaming in our blood." No, you haven't. And the only reason you're doing this is for a quick cash grab since Diablo was pretty much a failure and was simplified enough to be a console game.

The one good thing I've taken from today is that they're going to "super advanced" x86 architecture, which means the fucking geniuses out there that want to emulate the system shouldn't have many problems getting a bootable OS for PC, thus saving me $500 in the event that an exclusive game comes out that I want (Infamous and Killzone, sit back down please).

But yes, please fuck yourselves over and force streaming gaming and online purchases only. Destroy the used game market (until legislation passes to allow reselling digital media for these things) so you can isolate the majority of your customers.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Wat.

Came here to link that. But yeah, I figured they'd screw people with disc versions not being compatible, but digital as well? This is what they get for "HIGH TECH PC INFRASTRUCTURE" design, nullifying the use for older content. By saying it won't work, they have no intention of it working. If it was a maybe thing, they'd keep quiet.

CLETUS, HAND ME THAT THERE SHOVEL DO GIVE THE GRAVE FOR OLE SONY.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

I'm sure the streaming crap isn't a "OH HEY GAME GRUMPS LIVE" sort of thing, but a shameless plug for "online personalities" to make money alongside Sony (and sure i'll assume MS does this too since XBL is already stuffed with it) via advertisements and spammed shit.

But the reason backwards compatibility is an issue is that in the case of a floppy drive or CD, your PC games are still good now as they were 20 years ago. Your NES still works because of the quality of hardware (read simplicity) permits the system to still function properly 30 years later. I'm not worried about my kids having a dud NES in 15 years. I'm worried about my kids asking why there's a yellow light on the PS3. I'm worried about them having a 360 catch fire and pull them into the drive tray. I'm worried about them turning on my old WiiU to find out that super smash brothers only works online and only on a service that had been offline for 5 years.

I simply want to buy a product that I know I will still be able to use later. I don't want developers telling me how long I'm allowed to play a game. I don't want to be restricted unlike my childhood of gaming.

I was speaking idiomatically.
