Pointer control is by far my favourite/only thing I like about motion control so that would be more than fine with me. Pointer control is great on the Wii but pretty bad on the Move. There's way too much drift since it doesn't have an absolute reference for which direction you're pointing. Like I've literally set the Move perfectly still on the table and I can see it drifting left on the TV. It's not always that bad, but when it is it's really irritating.

See, and that shows how weird/bad their advertising has been: I didn't even realize they were doing anything special with LBP2 and Vita.

As a lawyer on the list for court-appointed defense work, I can assure you that people do very, very stupid things for the prospect of slight short-term gain.

Yeah, they're actually concave, like a sane person might design. After giving it some thought, I've decided the only thing I can imagine that could make this a day-one buy for me would be if The Last Guardian were a launch title. Of course there's always the possibility that they could come up with something that I can't yet imagine, and blow me away with that, but I doubt it will happen. Assuming that TLG is a launch title, pretty much the only thing that could dissuade me from a day one buy would be either if the price is ridiculous (read: more than about $400), or if it's got always-online DRM built into the system. *Edit* - I take that back, I can imagine one other thing that would make it a day-one buy: if the PS4 is actually a realistic (not uncanny valley) sex robot. We all know Japan has been developing those for years.

Super Mario 3D Land is literally the only 3DS game I want.

What does it say that I have never before heard of Girls, Lena Dunham, or anything else she's ever been in?

If you can stream Netflix then your internet connection should be fast enough for game streaming (assuming we're talking OnLive-style, rather than play-while-you-download), the real issue is latency. When I played OnLive the visual quality was comparable to consoles, but there was about a quarter-second delay in control inputs, making anything remotely fast completely unplayable.

Yes, but it has not worked well for anywhere close to that long.

Having a PC doesn't help me play PS3 games though. B/C or lack thereof certainly isn't a dealbreaker, but it is a factor, like a lot of things.

Yeah, PS+'s value is a hell of a lot higher than XBL Gold's. The only real negative is that PSN is down for maintenance three times a week.

Lol, that makes me think of when Halo: Anniversary came out, I was playing it, on the second level, and one of my friends comes online and is like "hey, this game's awesome, when did it come out?" I told him "today." Apparently he was just walking through Target and happened to see it on the shelf and bought it. He had never heard of it and didn't know it was coming out, and accidentally bought it day one.

Because MSRP doesn't matter at all to consumers, it's a stupid fake thing to compare. What matters is what the consumer can pay to purchase comparable items. You'll notice the Vita card is also marked down from MSRP. *Edit* - And even if I compare MSRP, the SanDisk card is STILL 30% lower than the Vita card.

Yeah, I was just thinking that the fact that it's so easily polished makes the development look even worse that they didn't do the trivial amount of work needed to make this happen.

I don't regret my purchase of a PS3. I wasn't interested in some of it's biggest exclusives (Japanese games and GoW), but I've played it enough, and combined with using it as a Bluray/media player it was definitely worth it. Honestly though, for me the only must-have exclusive on PS3 would have been The Last Guardian. Halo is the only one on Xbox, but it has the advantage of actually existing.

Maybe they did dumb it down for some reason, because apparently modders are not having much trouble activating all sorts of pretties and stuff with minor code tweaks.

Activision says it's not coming out in 2013. That pretty much confirms that it's on next-gen consoles, AFAIC.

No, I know. Obviously mine wouldn't make a good punchline.

I'm disappointed, seeing that The Last Guardian is one of the reasons I bought a PS3 (I bought it in like Summer 2010 when The Last Guardian's release date was Fall 2010... or maybe it was 2011, but whatever), but I'm not like angry about it or anything. As far as dean's comment about getting rid of the old console goes, I think it's nice when a new console is BC with an old one because then I don't have to have both of them taking up room around the TV. I already have too much stuff there.

Apparently the price has gone up to $60 on the Samsung card I linked, but here's a SanDisk one for $33 right now. They are not comparable and they are not in the same ballpark even. Especially considering that when you actually look at the performance they're not even comparable to Class 10's. *Edit* - Hell, I can get a 64GB version of that SanDisk card and it's STILL (barely) cheaper than the 32GB Vita card. *Edit 2* - That was a bad comparison, that was a standard SDHC card, not a micro. But, hilariously, here's a SanDisk micro one that's even cheaper. And the 64GB version of it is still $25 cheaper than the 32 GB Vita card. So maybe in other countries they're comparable, but in the US the Vita cards are WAY overpriced. *Edit 3* - BTW, it's not even like I had to search hard, that card was the first result for "class 10 micro sdhc" on Amazon.

Or, you know, keeping a slave and saying "no, it's okay, it's in the bible."

I think a lot of people dislike them, but I'd disagree with "generally". I think most people prefer regenerating health, I know I do, they're just not as vocal about it as the people who dislike it. As for multiple weapons, I'd guess that most people who feel anything at all about it would agree it's better to have more, but that most people overall just don't care. I know that even in games that let you have a bunch of weapons at once I always end up using one or two anyway.

Methinks that quote on RPS was taken out of context, and when Jones said no one plays them like that anymore he was talking about the limited weapons, regenerating health, etc, not PC as a platform.

Huge chunk of gravel + vast speed + atmosphere = crazy intense heat, firestorms covering continents.

Okay, well whatever, I'm satisfied that if the PS4 is designed with remote-play on Vita in mind it can close the performance gap between the current offering and the Wii U's.

Right, which is why we should start actively developing it sooner rather than later.
