NFL Offseason Thread |OT3| The Long Wait

What did Sony show about entertainment stuff? I get that Europeans are mad at none of those features come to their region, but they aren't coming on the PS3 PS4 either.



I agree. He's a FA after 2014. It's in his best interest to not rush back this year
They showed shots of their interface and mentioned they would support most of the popular apps. You said it yourself, Sony didn't spend its two hour reveal talking about Live TV integration as the next great leap. Microsoft did.
 
Seahawks fans should love this one. Aaron Curry on why he's been a bust:

"It was like I knew I could do it and I knew I would do it. I just don’t think at the time I was interested in doing it," Curry said earlier Wednesday after practicing with the Giants during an OTA. "I think I was interested in other things and at the time football just wasn’t my top priority, just to be honest. I just had so much going on that I tried to make a balance out of everything instead of doing it the right way. When Coach (Ken Norton Jr.) got there (in 2010), he taught me how to handle it the right way and I think that really started the next stage in my life."

Was there like a Rutgers dynasty I missed? I mean they were in the Big East when Connecticut won the conference, if I remember correctly

Connecticut backdoored into that championship when every good team in the Big East had a really bad year(WVU/Lousiville/Cincinatti); Rutgers also had a bad year also.

Modern Rutgers 2010-2012 was just hamstrung by a really really bad unit causing the rest of the team to suffer (the offensive line). And unlike the NFL, those units can't be fixed in a year.

Guess that gigantic contract wasn't enough motivation. What a clown. Although I wonder if he could have done it even if he were interested. It's not that he was taking plays off like Randy Moss or something, he just could not cover anyone or anything.

Pete's staff (Ken Norton Jr. in this case) making positive changes in someone's life yet again. What great role models.

He should've stuck around and got in on some of that delicious adderall. That would have helped him out as it has helped all the current seahawks

Bill just doesn't give a fuck anymore. He's going out of his way to form an all Rutgers team. Bill is definetly banging Schiano.

Rockstar needs to give Remedy the Max Payne IP if they are done with it. That is what the world wants. Back to NYC, Max

No, I want Rockstar in control. Loved Max Payne 3.

Dude, just give him some time. The critics are always so impatient. Two time AFC Championship QB Mark Sanchez will be fine once the surrounding pieces of the Jets organization are figured out, but until that point it's unfair to expect him to carry the entire team by himself. Give it another five to ten years before jumping to anymore hasty conclusions.

I'm Dutch, and I support this message.

So... I should just pretend MS hasn't shown anything yet?

I get the name now. Since it's the first Xbox just for the American Market.
 
I do too! But I also love the first two games. And I think Take Two has said they are done with the franchise, so why not let it go to someone who might use it?

Man, just looked up the sales numbers for Max Payne 3. It sold a whopping 1.26 million copies.

That's fucking terrible for a game of that stature. Why were the sales that bad? Wasn't be press somewhat positive as well?

Well, I understand now that Take Two is done with the license. Okay, give it to Remedy then.

just looked at the gaming section. xbone. good work :jnc

edit: MP3 had negative initial buzz b/c of the "bald fat Max" and that it wasn't in NYC. And it has some pretty big flaws. It is the Housers at their most pretentious, with all the garbage dialog and cutscenes. They they think they are videogame Kubricks, when their greatest skill has always been self-promotion

As a huge Remedy fan, I'd like to see them take another stab at it. Alan Wake is so awesome. No one makes games that are quite like Remedy games.

As for Xbone, crossbone can be used in many ways.
 
BREAKING

Just confirmed by Dough Kyed of NESN, with the signing of their 8th Rutgers player, the Patriots now have more Rutgers player than they have tight ends (7)! (Although Brady his tight end is not included in those 7).

Max Payne 3 was depressing. Definitely too dark of a game for me kind of like Heavy Rain.

I don't understand the meltdowns in gaming about the XB1. If you don't like it, buy a PS4?

I am one of those plants.

Only problem is, I can't shill for something that I won't have access to for anothe few years.

I hope I can change the language to make Kinect usable at least, so I can sit in my rocking chair and yell "Snap! Switch!" all day and look at empty windows running side by side!

Disappointed fanboy tears are the second best tears. First place goes to Pats fans' tears, but it's close.

The key is to insert the important keywords and features and get people excited about it. I imagine the killer feature might be Bing porn search. Give GAF the keywords that get you the best gonzo, anime, pony porn and you will get a raise from MS. OttomanScribe will sleep outside if it can let him order fast food and MILF scenes at the same time.

Grid computing could be kick-ass. Somebody just has to figure out what to do with it, beyond scientific purposes and bitcoins.
Lag dude.

It is good for games based on a server or that take turns. But I think next gen is still peer to peer.

In reality it will be used for voice translation and ad shit,

How can you shill something that basically gave your country the middle finger anyway?
 
Jordan was a fraud. My opinions are supported by reason and fact. Check my posting history. I have run many Jordaphiles out of here!

Your feelings about the 3DS are simply wrong. Your poor judgement and tastes just speak poorly on you and your upbringing. Your Mom deserves better bro. This forum deserves better.

Your delusions remain intact.

Milch is a damn casual

Damn right I am!

Although I played Alan Wake and PGR4 today.

Playing age old games and complaining on the internet, I fit right in with veterans like snesfreak. Pretty damn hardcore if you ask me!

That's what I'm saying in my post ;-)

Although, like I said yesterday, a lot of the stuff they showed (all the things that won't make it over here anytime soon) are much more appealing to me than another shiny Killzone.

Like the gata said, a damn casual.

Lag is an issue for multiplayer games, but if you offload small pieces of whatever large computation needs to happen redundantly, then it should happen fairly quickly and be self-healing if a node lags/dies etc.

Every game has dedicated servers on XBL going forward.

MS knows just how stupid gamers are and is not going to do that. It will stay P2P and they will increase the rates for XBL.

I could see the cloud helping for MP games only. I know that 64 MP in Battlefield 3 crushes even the beefiest CPUs. Maybe some of the game state calculations can be done on those servers? I honestly have no idea, other than I can't imagine how the cloud would do anything beyond game saves for SP
 
Welp Browns GAF, NFL GAF today is a sad day. Today is the day the myth, the legend, the American Hero Thad Lewis was waived by the Browns. It's the the end of the TL9 saga guys. He'll probably land with the eagles now, so enjoy and cherish him Eagles Gaf :")

It sounds official to me. Using your logic I could say that X company is going to do X and then jack up the price.

From Wired:

http://www.wired.com/gadgetlab/2013/05/xbox-one/

Perhaps most intriguing, however, is that Xbox One gives game developers the ability to access Microsoft’s Azure cloud computing platform. That leads to a few obvious and immediate applications: All your downloaded and installed games and achievements are synced to the cloud and can be accessed and played without interruption on any Xbox One you sign in to; stable, dedicated servers for every multiplayer game rather than the notoriously fragile practice of hosting matches on one participant’s console; even multiplayer matches that can grow to 64, even 128 participants, rather than the usual limit of 16 or 32

Yeah no one knows how it could be utilized quite yet. Or if it even will. I hope they do utilize it to make games better however it's done.

Just going by recent history bro!

Hey is they host servers then no one can bitch about paying for Live anymore.

I'll buy it until they prove otherwise. Fits in with their 300k server number.

Your rational arguments have no place on this board.

I'm going to buy both, so why not hope for the best experience out of all of them?

MS already uses dedicated servers for the Gears of war games and you can easily tell the difference.

I wasn't aware of this.

For some reason I thought you could set aside an original Xbox as a dedicated server on certain games. I swear I remember a friend doing this for Ghost Recon Island Thunder. Maybe I'm wrong.

A few Ubisoft games did that. In R6V you could make your 360 a dedicated server that other people could play on. Gears 3 and Judgement have MS hosted dedicated servers for people to play on, and those games run great online.

I thought so. It's so hard to find info on some of these old games though. I would be happy if they integrated that feature into games going forward. With actual dedicated servers though, it would be largely moot, although you would have an advantage being on a local network with the server.

That's my four-year college QB. :(

No defending SB champion has won a playoff game since 2005. Seems there is more than just a curse of the SB loser

Won't have to worry about that with the Ravens either.
