You guys are looking in the wrong place for your uber console. PC emulation is catching up to consoles and next gen PC's will be a lot more powerful than next gen consoles.While game companies like Sony and Nintendo are reluctant to combine forces independent coders have already made every console except this last generation playable on one machine. I've got an Snes, NDS, PSX, Neo-Geo and Saturn on my PC and it runs Skyrim with tons of mods on high.
Remember what gaming was like before we had to deal with all this corporate spin? When did we start retiring products while they were in their prime?
Just say that you'll continue to support the PS3 until PS4 is released. You wouldn't need to patronize your fanboys if you respected their intelligence.
Ed Boon still can't make a fighting game where the characters don't act and move like animated action figures. Can any character in this game even flex their spine?MK9 was a great revival for MK, but Jesus Christ, hire some new animators and game designers and pay them well. There's gotta be tons of unemployed SNK people who can do that shit in their sleep.
Every character interacts with the enviroment differently... yeah right. There's like 3 character archetypes, they behave the same way and use the exact same animations while doing so. Also I can't be hyped with stuff like Superman punching someone into space because I've seen more draw dropping, cut scene super moves in DBZ and Naruto games. I was blowing up entire planets with fireballs 10 years ago while Boon acts like he just invented the wheel or something with all these gimmicky features.
For better or worse; hacking, ripping, piracy, and emulators are currently the best hope for archiving old games for posterity. None of this was my idea so don't flame me. How many of you guys think that your HD DLC remakes are going to be transferable to the next gen? Gaming in general is suffering an identity crisis and I don't trust the short term profit business model with my childhood memories.
When you're done looking at how pretty the graphics are, you're going to realize that you're just playing another uninspired FPS. I don't care if my computer can't run BF3 because my brain can't process how people can find the same point and shoot gameplay even remotely interesting in 2011. What's going to happens when game graphics become truly photo realistic? Is the gaming industry going to have to die again before someone tries something new?
