It's hard to argue with him. That last line in particular sounds pretty accurate to me.

Worst kept secret in the NFL.
I really loath the new PS store. Thank god you can make purchases and all that using the online store. It runs like shit on the PS3.
Yeah, it looks nice enough but it's kind of stunning how poorly it runs. You would think they wouldn't implement something that makes the system seem so lacking in power.

probably going to pass on the next Sony console. haven't played much except for God of War 3 on the PS3.
What I'm more interested in is the impact of things like Steambox and Ouya on the industry. This notion that you need a $500+ console to play $60+ games is so ten years ago.

I have to buy online now anyways. For some reason my PS3 fails to install anything that downloads a key first. Annoying as shit when you download 10gb game and have to do it again.
Took me like a week to get my day 1 digital of NFSMW working until I figured that out.

Man I hope you are wrong. I love the idea of 200 person teams making games with $50m budgets. I really hope we get to see some of the nextgen engines tonight. That UE4 helmet pic looks amazing, cant wait to eventually find out what game that is for.

not saying I disagree, but games should be available digitally for less than a packaged copy. I've probably spent about $300 on 40+ PC games mostly via Steam room the past year. many of those, like Xcom for 20 and Spec Ops for 2.50, are new.

I agree totally. The established gaming industry is artificially inflating prices based on accepted norms. You're used to paying 60 dollars, so you will pay 60 dollars.

I hate it too. And it's not just the speed, I simply hate the whole layout. The original was nothing to write home about, but I didn't mind it. I used to check it at least once a week. Now I hate firing the store up so much that I'm lucky if I check it once a month.
Nothing artificial about that. They are charging what people will pay.
I remember having to pay more than that for games. Not fun.
EDIT: There will be a lot of disappoints tonight. I'm giving you guys an invite to join me on gaming side to view some of the meltdowns. People expecting vapor ware to come out of nowhere, no subscription fees, etc etc. Lol.
I still think I'll end up Nintendo and Sony, then MS waaaaay late in the generation. I've never had a reason to own the 360 aside from XBLA.

Awesome mock up from the controller thread
Jesus H. Christ, what a handsome motherfucker. He looks like a fantastic QB too.
This would blow my mind.
I remember having to pay 100 dollars for Earthbound on SNES.

Damn the thread is like the SuperBowl for some Gaffers they're talking about what kind of food they'll get for the event
As it probably will be :lol I mean I'm not expecting a WiiU sized touch pad
It was worth it, though!

Actually I guess this isn't so surprising, I think E3 had a thread like that too.
This shit better deliver
Wouldn't make much sense considering the financials of the two companies.

Next year we need a "Super Bowl what shit are you eating? |OT|"
Yeah, but it would probably bring the internet down. I'd want to see it just for the apocalypse on Gaming side.

Would be terrible for gamers if any of the big 3 bought Valve.

I'm looking forward to the conference but it ain't no Super Bowl.
You forgot the Sony Conference bingo thread.

but it's Sony's Super Bowl!
Yep. I'd rather have them buy Blizzard. Would obviously never happen though.
Not really. Valve's business model is easy to duplicate. They've laid the groundwork, if they fuck it up bad enough there are a half dozen other services that can fill that void easily. Origin, Impulse, even small players like GMG or a site like Amazon could do everything Valve does.
Not like they make games anymore.
Valve cannot be touched until DotA2 is complete. I forbid it.
Pretty sure by the time Dota 2 is "out" I will have played it for 750 hours and be totally uninterested in Dota 2.
I'll get it on pc. Where the pre-order will get me early access to TF3!

I think we had one :lol pretty sure I posted in it.
You might as well say if the new Playstation plays Wii U games you'll preorder it. Because they're about as likely to happen!

Valve in and of itself is easily replaceable, but I doubt anyone will step into their place. EA for example will use their absence as an excuse to inflate costs, ot decrease them.
I'd just be getting warmed up at 750 hours!
I would lose all faith in Gaben if he made HL3 a console exclusive. He would never do that. It's blasphemous to even suggest such a thing!
Amazon already clowned them in the Winter Sale. Valve is slipping and now they just fired everyone. Valve is dead. Sony bought them. Announcement tonight.
Ice Frog is working on the sequel to that LOTR moba.

I think you can sleep easy knowing this will never, ever happen.
Especially since Half Life 3 will never ever happen.
