I've gone to some game stores and gotten the same games cheaper than steam prices even with a discount.

It's not always the cheapest.

Oh the shock! the Horror!

I don't like steam either, I don't see why a store bought game has to have the authorisation from an another online only company/store program simply to be able to install the game disks that I have paid money for.

Then be sometimes have to wait for the USA release date just to use the already paid for game.

Probably why EA got rid of steam and put out their own program so they didn't lose customers in t...

They can't be released copies of the games as the stores only get them 1-2 days before the release.

So it must be pirated versions.

I take it the fans were asking him if he knew it was getting pirated and if he was ok about it being pirated.

If you make something yourself and you see it being ripped off you won't be happy either.

It's a bit like being a checkout person and finding out the store is getting in the s...

It's just the people who buy a copy and then sell the 5 freebie downloads will be the ones complaining.

MS don't keep 1st party devs.

they only bought them so they had less competition against them, they buy the 3rd party games as they don't have to waste the dev costs on the games, simply pay a couple million to the right dev and you don't have to worry about having to pay people's salaries etc

That's why they don't have any devs at the moment even flight sim devs have been shut down but no one knows what is happening there other than d...

I reckon they are using the flight sim X engine, there's no trees and the flight sim engine gives the same pictures you know extremely sharp pictures but the game will be extremely bare overall.

Do they have more than 3 cars on the track, I haven't seen a pic with more than 3 cars isn't that going down for cars on track?

What I find strange is all these people saying Forza in general has flogged GT5 easy.

All the while there are plently of car comps people can enter if they have a copy of GT5 and play online in the ladders where the top 2-3 people have the chnace of racing for real in the nurinburg ring 24 hour race.

You don't have comps like that with arcade racers.

Complains but doesn't use any punctuation in the written piece.

The "peeves an is" should be "peeves and is"
The "would of played" should be "would have played"
The "but didn't" should be "but I didn't"
The "superior then him." should be "superior than him."

YEAH! Who knew having chicks in a game was wrong

yes but I think a lot of it comes from dead island not being hugely pushed as well.

so it's not so bad.

Japan had MP3 players back in the 90's.

Mp3 players aren't new and apple didn't invent them they only made it easier to get the songs and put them onto the mp3 player that is it.

The problem is some people will want something to do in the game.

CCP can't always rely on a few people to always bring in the cash, so I can see why they have gone to the planets and then allowing for FPS fighting.

You can't really have planets and then have no way of doing the fights.

Eve while good is a boring game and your pretty much screwed straight up with having little cash and you can't really do much by yourself so need...

There won't be a PS4 in 1 and half years time.

There might be a completely new revision of the PS3 in 1 and half years though.

That I could see happening but not the PS4, currently all that Sony have said about a PS4 is there' is some stuff on the drawing board.

If the PS4 really was to be made in 18 months it'd already be at the Devs and they would have said something about new games and probably being for the PS4 but that hasn&#...

The real question is (no ones thought of this)

Just how long would it take to complete the game?

Maybe it's not more than 30 days worth, maybe it's just a couple of somewhat short missions/quests and that's it.

Bit like LA NOIR is compared to GTA.

@RIOKING

What do you mean America is half full, Spanish is the #1 language in the US right now and there's more Mexicans born in the USA than any other kind of person.

With in the next 5 years the USA will be a Mexican country run by them.

the KKK won't know what has happened, lol.

Yeah I agree reynod.

All the GFX cards even the budget ones will handle the top PC games easy, these days.

Too many games are geared for the console so on a PC the game just seems like a poorly made one compared to the old PC only games.

You end up paying less for the PC version anyway probably because they know it's not quite good on the PC so figure it;s not worth the money as the consoles.

Only happy because steam is on it and can directly make money off it.

WHere as MS probably told them to fuck off and they'll be making their own steam program and it'll block steam in every way on win 8.

It's just a SIP program though.

Teamspeak etc on the PC use next to nothing in terms of memory.

Be a patent issue and how Sony aren't able to work around it.

The other issue is no game would be supporting it as it's not a game program it'd be outside the game so you'd need to get rid of the in-game stuff and use the outside SIP program.

Not many games would allow you to do that currently.

It's not the memory it's because of patents.

Microsoft have it fully patented and no one else can make a copy or able to make a work around that doesn't use something in that patent.

It's come up plenty of times before.

If it was really a lack of memory then you'd 100% shutdown the XMB bar and you'd never have anything downloading in the background and stuff.

Also you'd have this feature on the Wii...

The CELL isn't based on an intel design it's based on PowerPC chips.

the difference is the CELL is meant to be running pure assembly code not C or some other language.

That is why IBM put in a special C language handler so the chip itself takes in C code and converts it to assembly code then processes it, assembly is the fastest code you can do but it's very hard for people to do stuff in it as your writing what all CPUs actually use so few people...
