That is the sound of WiiUs being sold by the thousands.
That's a strange surprise. I was expecting to have Mii as a playable character, but between this and the Villager it seems like they're using up their novelty slots fast
So the PS4, which had maybe RFID locked games, then maybe no DRM, then absolutely no DRM, then DRM left up to the publishers, now has no DRM again save for maybe an online pass, and that's it.
There's only one thing that really has to hold true, and that's that the console can be used completely offline if the user wishes to. The fact that online features cost money points rather strongly in the direction that all this is optional. As I could never download PS4 games (BR discs with 25, 50 or even more GB), I'm bound to disc based games anyway, where Sony upholds all the usual customer rights.
Wait, what?! So I'm going to need to log on to the Internet as a one off to activate the game (if the publishers deem it necessary)? How's that going to work when I don't have access to the Internet at my flat?
THE WHOLE WORLD ISN'T CONNECTED TO THE INTERNET. STOP PUSHING THIS SHIT ON US PLEASE.
Just finished watching the Nintendo Direct. Still too much bloom on "The Wind Waker HD" for my tastes, but the music for "Super Mario 3D World" is FANTASTIC.
Yeah Sony! HOW DARE YOU FORCE ME TO HAVE AN INTERNET CONNECTION IN ORDER TO PLAY GAMES ONLINE?!
Also the Nintendo Direct was the most boring, uneventful thing ever. When the only exciting thing is a Megaman not based off bullshit spin-offs in a party game, your show is a dud.

Nonono. This article specifically says ONLINE games. MULTIPLAYER games. Stuff you have to be online for to actually play the game. Not single player stuff.
In a nutshell, you can buy a used single-player game for the PS4 and play it all you want. If you [highlight]want[/highlight] to go online with it, you may have to deal with some sort of publisher-determined DRM, be it an Online Pass or whatever.

I KNOW, RIGHT? ALSO, HOW DARE THEY DEMAND THAT I OWN A GAMES CONSOLE AND TV TO PLAY GAMES. THEY SHOULD TRANSMIT THE GAMES DIRECTLY INTO MY BRAIN VIA TELEPATHY. The BASTARDS!
Basically its the same as the PS3, except PlayStation plus is required for online play.
(Which, given Sony's support so far, appears to be a pretty reasonable compromise really (I'm ditching my live subscription anyway so that money will eventually move to a superior service)

I sure showed them on the TV-requirement front! Skipped right past their ridiculous assertion that TVs are for gaming.
This is actually a true story. I hooked my GameCube up to my computer monitor.
How does me deleting messages make a forum less readable? I've read the current page over again and everything seems to make sense to me.
Correct. Because I quoted the message you deleted.
/edit: oops, sorry, that actually wasn't true. You deleted the one where you snapped back at Dashing.

Somewhere right now the Microsoft employee responsible for the "creative" decisions made with the XBOne is being ritualistically rubbed with oil in preparation of the arrival of Bill Gates, who will administer his own unique brand of punishment.
"I've never been partial to the idea of being at the mercy of Bill Gates. It's actually always been one of my... worst nightmares... actually."

Is it the same guy who is responsible for Windows 8 or Office 2013? Because he may be doing it on purpose because he enjoys it.
"We always knew that our story would play out over time. And even now, I would say, this isn't a sprint," Spencer said. "The platform launches this November; we've got more content to share."
"There are other means like Gamescom [and] TGS coming that will still continue to put a value [proposition] on what we're bringing to market," he added. "The reaction, I think, is complete when the product is on the shelf and it has a price and it has a content library and consumers vote."
"And that's the date I'm looking forward to."
In other words, all the crap Microsoft pulls off is forgotten when they have proof that customers still buy their console. :rolleyes:
In other words: "Whine as much as you like, we only listen when it hurts us."
Animal Forest New Leaf is a must buy for me.
Super Mario 3D World... yes!
MARIO KART LOOKS AWESOME!!!
The new Sonic! Yargh!!
Glad to see Batman arriving.
WIND WAKER REMAKE YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRGHH!!!
Nintendo is doing amazing stuff trying to increase the in game social features. That stuff's going to be a huge payoff down the line.
DONKEY KONG HOMEY. DONKEY KONG! Underwater sections are back!!! Still my favorite side scrolling series ever.
Monolith Soft has an AMAZING LOOKING GAME OMG.
SMASH BROS BABY!!!VILLAGER HAS COME TO TOWN! Mega Man has joined the battle!
Closing out day one, and we've still heard nothing about The Wolf Among Us. Shame, but after E3 2007, I should have learned that just because a developer says they're going to show something at E3, it doesn't mean that they'll actually show something new.
GOD I adore those videos. Absolutely adore them. I hereby demand we get a massive press conference every week JUST so this guy can do abridged versions of them. MAKE IT HAPPEN, PEOPLE.

Okay, my bad. All is cool again in the world.

Well, sort of. EA has many Mass Effect 3's left to pull off obviously.

Yeah, that and the ongoing lack of a cure for cancer. Mass Effect 3 is by the far the worst of the two though. Obviously.

James Dean has nothing on you.
Ah. I'll be sure to be less hasty in posting in the future (or at least make better use of the edit button from now on).
That. Was. Glorious.
Haha, I know. His face says it all; "Sony: 1, Microsoft: -1000"
Its more like "take that Microsoft. Yer wankers..."
"I've never been partial to the idea of being at the mercy of Bill Gates. It's actually always been one of my... worst nightmares... actually."
It sounds like people marshaling for battle.
And seriously, to win this gen you just have to be anything Microsoft isn't at this point.

Sticks and stones...
I'm always curious about anything taking place in Oz.
Yep. That pretty much sums it up. Sadly I don't have enough faith in people not to buy this monstrosity (and Microsoft appears to be banking on it).

It's probably based on the Tom Hardy film.
Please, God, PLEASE let him be voiced by Mel Gibson.
That's why you're great. King of timing.
It is stand alone and is not based off the original films or the new one.
...That has me a bit interested.
