It's not going to end because all systems that have system level updates for them a % will always fail. Always.

Since they mentioned CPU, I mentioned Intel as CPU, not the crappy HD gfx, lol.

the company won't be able to develop and distribute updated drivers until after each game is released

The next updated driver EA releases will be their first.

Where is Intel in all of this?

Microsoft is like a cult, they have a really weird internal culture. I had a meeting with an MS consultant last week and he was going on and on about how Windows 8 is so ahead of its time and that we'll all be using touch exclusively in 5 years. Whenever I tried to point out issues with touch like fine input control and other work scenarios he would just start spouting these weird, canned responses that sound like they came from a memo or something.

tl;dr - they have their head up their own asses, telling themselves what they want to hear all the time.

Tell him a lot of companies went belly up being ahead of their time. You want to be on time. We spoke about touch screen in the 80's and 90's, it's like 3D, no huge need for it and many simply do not prefer it. Again I say... who was complaining about the k/m?

I'm not opposed to full nudity for booth babes at these events either.

We have to have bigger issues than this.

"Microsoft: Xbox One's "infinite cloud power" can track 330,000 asteroids in space"

How can you put a number to infinite? It should be able to track all asteroids and still have room to spare. The whole article is putting limits on the cloud, 7x an XBone. But it is infinite, limitless? Why then just 7x.

This is Kinect lies all over again.

Show me! Show me! Show me! Stop talking fantasy.

Talking with my boy, since someone completely struck out it makes the competitor look grand, which is skewing reaction. To me a lot of games look good, but they also look tired to me, none really standing out over another. The Oculus if it were already to go, with games ready to play, that would be the story coming out of E3. This has the chance of being the next big thing, not just more of the snooze.

A nice summation just hit my youtube inbox. IT cant get any clearer than this

He was very clear, that said, it doesn't mean we have all the variables yet. I also thought publishers had control on the 360 to make a game trade-able or not. Also his thoughts and opinions seemed pretty spot on.

Dumbed down game and shitty UI so once more PC players have to suffer because of consoles. You'd think the failure that was DCUO would have warned them why this is a bad idea. Anyway, my interest in the game has now just evaporated.

Excellent. Do us all a favor and never post in an ESO thread again. Baby

Perhaps he is right, unless you are in closed beta or getting news on closed beta, how are we to know?

Some of you people are digging way to deep into this stuff. The PS4 restrictions are exactly the same thing as Ps3. What's so difficult to comprehend about this? What you see is what you get.

I've been around the block. I am not saying you are wrong nor am I saying I haven't missed anything. All said, I'm still wait and see a bit on this one. I see no reason today why I have to lay final judgement on the issue. If it is all what we hope it is, good deal.

I haven't seen Sony contradict itself so far,

Sonys explanation could not be clearer

If a publisher wants to pull a SimCity then customers can choose to ignore that game rather than have DRM implemented for every single game they buy.


It think details on exactly how a publisher can DRM the game hasn't been really shared. It sounds like they can definately put limits into the games if they like.

Didn't MS sort of say the same thing? That it is up to the publishers?

I'm not sure they have learned the lessons a lot of internet posters want them to learn. They said they are staying on the same action pace. As for turn based content there will be many kick starters coming out that will scratch that itch better. The win here is non-constant loading, much more seamless play.

I still say people are going to get burned on this somehow.

Still sends the message that there is room for a space sim, like how anyone ever though otherwise. There has at least always been a real market for at least one.

Techdirt puts some light on this poll.

Republicans and Democrats have had very different views of the two operations. Today, only about half of Republicans (52%) say it is acceptable for the NSA to obtain court orders to track phone call records of millions of Americans to investigate terrorism. In January 2006, fully 75% of Republicans said it was acceptable for the NSA to investigate suspected terrorists by listing in on phone calls and reading emails without court approval.

Democrats now view the NSA’s phone surveillance as acceptable by 64% to 34%. In January 2006, by a similar margin (61% to 36%), Democrats said it was unacceptable for the NSA to scrutinize phone calls and emails of suspected terrorists.

Shocking I tell you. No not really. Like I've said, it's ok if your party of choice is in office, regardless if it's healthy for the nation or not.

Solid point, when GW was in power... all is good, when the other guy is, now it's all bad. Yup.

What amazes me is that its news in the first place, i mean how daft do you have to be to actually think that things you do on the internet of all places are safe, secure, and private from government spy and security agencies?

I'm out of town for a bit over the week, missed the breaking news, was at a table and this came up. I thought they were just talking about all this in general as this isn't new news, I didn't think. But the media and some people act as this is shocking. This doesn't mean I think it is right or wrong, but I was surprised to see this was really news to a lot of people.

I'm a bit torn, but my bottom line is since I can't trust the gov't, they have unquestionably lied to us before. It should be very difficult to classify anything and as soon as possible all things become declassified. They are just voted in, not some type of "you get to know everything and we know nothing", that isn't part of the deal. Tired of them deciding if we can handle it or not. This needs to change, they weren't given that power, they just took it and it shows again deceit on their end.
