I'm a bit confused by all of this so maybe someone can point out the answers I may not even know I have questions for. How much is the "Steam" machine likely to cost? I hate Windows OS based machines (anti-virus software is spotty at best for protecting your system) so what can Linux provide over a Windows based system? Are there even any games for Linux OS's and will Valve somehow make this a standard for the "Steam" machine? I won't lie...PC gaming was a ton of fun, but yearly upgrades to the system (not all at once, but still...upgrade graphics card one year, followed by upgrading the harddrive the next year and so on) and maintenance issues related to anti-virus protection just killed my enthusiasm for PC gaming. In the right scenario (Steam machine for relatively low cost similar to console machines and an operating system that is not as vulnerable as Windows), I could see myself being one of those looking to move from console gaming back to PC gaming. It just needs to be the right fit for me in order to move me to it.
Therein lies the dilemma of style over substance. CoD has become the Madden of the fps genre. When games like Journey appeal to me more than a rehashed version of last year's game, no matter how good it was last year, you just gotta wonder if "more" really is or isn't better!
He's right! If you gauge the value of a game purely on the subjectiveness of someone else's opinion, then you are doing no one but yourself a disservice. I usually don't care what a review says (as is evident by my purchases of ZombiU, Aliens: Colonial Marines and many other titles...) and I choose to make my own mind up about a game while or after I have played it for myself. My tastes in gaming are purely mine and mine alone and my difference in opinion over a review score isn't worth voicing. Maybe Johnny will turn this around by including comments from more insightful users instead of people just trying to be the biggest jerk they can be in order to get their comments put in a video.
It was a shock that SotC was released at all on the PS2 because it was too ambitious for the hardware. I'm guessing the same thing is going on here and this game will actually get pushed to the PS4. Ueda...I love your games, but c'mon. Enough is enough already!
Not that it's really that big of an issue, but how is it that 2 generations of Sony hardware (PS3 and PS4) and the Wii have been able to do this but the Xbox One can't? Maybe they are concerned with the system scratching discs like the 360 did, but that was only when the machine was running and you changed it from horizontal to vertical position or vice versa.
