  • The article ignores the elephant(s) in the room… Negligible performance improvements year over year, and unavailability of cards at MSRP.

    This means the opposite of what the article headline is suggesting. Mainstream PC gaming (on mid tier and/or new hardware) is more out of reach for people than it has been for decades…

    Good thing the used market exists and new entry level last gen cards can sometimes be found at msrp. Still alot of people dont want to settle for a sub par experience at PC costs, and console gaming always meets the mark for price to performance.

    The only thing “convoluted” about this whole announcement was pricing. The price of the console The price of the games The price of their online services and upgrades…

    All of that is gut-wrenching as Nintendo claws at its dedicated fans wallets.

    Otherwise the features and games look amazing, i understand why people are willing to pay those prices.

    Fingers crossed we luck out with easy jailbreaks and emulators like we did for the Switch 1.


  • As long as they stop half-assing them and include all the features in the game i say hell yeah. They usually do a good job otherwise.

    Idc if its an arbitrary features like multiplayer, map builders or avatar implementations… Remastering the game means remastering the WHOLE game.

    I’m still heated about the Turok 3 half-remaster. I know they had their reasons but they didnt even call it a “Campaign Remaster” like the should of… Even Activision has enough respect for its fans to clearly communicate features (MW2CR).





  • Theyre already doing it with all PS3 games, and you can only stream them.

    This absolutely is not preservation of classic games, this is walling off and financially exploiting them as much as possible. Nintendo is doing the exact same thing.

    Imagine if these companies started forcing a subscription/forcing streaming of all new games? They wont right now because people would be outraged at not possessing their games(or at least their data).

    Alas, we are all boiling frogs and 2013 Xbox is getting what they predicted… An all digital future where the consumer possesses nothing and pays more for it. This is exactly where Sony is headed… Dont let the insulting trickle feed of 2 classic titles per month convince anyone otherwise.
