G4TV.com takes a look at the eight generation of consoles, starting with Nintendo's Wii U and speculating on what the future holds for Sony and Microsoft. Part of its Epictober month of exclusive content, this is an article that's only available on G4TV.com.
Hanzala from eXputer: "As Nintendo takes out 20 years' worth of stuff from Garry's Mod, I watch in shock, thinking why it continues to hurt and discourage its fans."
The irony that some of the most disgusting business practices come from companies like Disney or Nintendo, i can't even begin to understand what terrible damage was Garrys Mod making to Nintendo bottom line, imho they're getting pretty nervous about where they're heading in the future, handhelds are no longer something exclusive to Nintendo, from Steam Deck to many others, now you can play the latest games and pay a fraction of the price on Steam sales, so it's up to their exclusives, which just on their own would make hard to justify purchasing a closed overpriced hardware with outrageous price policies (Super Mario Odyssey is still 60 euro 6 years later!), and as a home console they're always underperforming compared to Sony or Xbox.
Look at how they handled Nintendo games being streamed or uploaded on YouTube in the past. They killed Yuzu and Citra even when they had nothing to do with ToTK being leaked, not to mention it was basically unplayable on emulation the week it was leaked. Smash Bros tournament, that was fairly recent. They shut down their online services without any care for purchases made. I bought a switch after skipping their last 2 consoles and handhelds but I don't plan on buying anything Nintendo in the future. They take things to the extremes, they legitimately hate their fans. They're honestly right up there with the likes of Acti, EA, and Ubi, only difference is that they disguise themselves as being family friendly all the while being shady.
A new survey from Microsoft has further hinted at the possibility of an Xbox handheld being in development.
This is definitely happening, I just hope they have 2 versions one with a much bigger screen.
i have that logitech g-cloud. Its a sweet little piece of kit. I like that it can also install games from the play store unlike the other android based handheld.
I wonder if Microsoft will perform better in Japan if they do actually make a handheld since everyone says handheld and mobile are king over there.
This looks like the future of the game industry... all three platforms with a handheld option.
I wonder if the Playstation Portal is a technology test-bed/prototype for a future Playstation handheld?
- Xbox Wire - Mark your calendars! The Xbox Games Showcase followed by [REDACTED] Direct airs June 9. More info inside.
For a brief moment I thought we might get a whole Direct for Gears 6 - seems like it's COD though!
I want the new systems as badly as everyone else but I I don't understand articles like this. All speculation. This is like reading one of those gossip magazines.
Give it time folks and when you have real information, then we can talk about it.
Next-Gen Holiday 2012 Plox!!
All three will be announced & release dates will be known. Wii-U & 720 will be on store shelves by 2012's year end. I just hope Sony don't screw around trying to sell another Christmas of PS3's in 2012 & put off the inevitable, allowing both MS & Ninty to get a massive time jump on them this time.
Sony need to release PS4 with the same delicate timing that they did to Sega with the Saturn.....in Australia the Saturn came out, then less than a week later Sony released there 1st foray into the console market......& rattled, humbled, smashed & knocked out 1 half of the competition. Sony need to release in late 2012 without fail to keep up....Otherwise it allows the other 2 to release, get early adoptors on, get more & more developer support, get more & more exclusives & developers onboard, & to lower the price due to there lowering production costs.
Sony currently has a huge advantage in there favor in the fact that most of the most expensive parts are already done for PS4, as the Cell & Blu Ray drive are all but sure things for Sony to re-use in PS4.....to do otherwise would be crazy. They have that time & financial saving on there side big time, as a faster Blu Ray drive is all thats needed due to Blu Rays ability to hold 200gig on a single disk, & also the Cells unique ability to be coupled, tripled, quaddrupled to add 1,2,3 times the power, depending how many of these little buties you stickytape, bubblegum or crazyglue together.
Just get it out Sony, I hate having to wait for one console when all others have released, especially when it is the one I am more inclined to want....I mean I end up buying the other 1 to tire me over until.....
I'm ready for the next Playstation, would buy one today doesn't matter if it cost $500 or $600 I use mine so much I can easily justify it.
I want the PlayStation 4, just not yet I am still enjoying this generation. I want Sony to work on the PS4 and make it well worth it. Make it a better computer entertainment system then the PS3. Also, I would like to not have a $600 launch price lol
