EU or NA though? I'm like 60% sure I saw it on the NA store.

They did kind of address that by saying that because they're not actually a mobile device they're not constrained by phones' considerations of battery life and can use the Tegra 3 to it's full potential in a way that phones don't. I don't know how true that is, but it's what they said.

But we have no idea where the rumor came from. If it's true I'll be sad, because Halo 4 sold me on 343 being able to make good Halo games, and I was looking forward to the the rest of the Reclaimer trilogy.

I played through Pokemon Yellow on an emulator in college during classes, and I had it set to like 5x speed. I could never use the bike because it was so fast it was un-controllable.

I'll join it when the price gets down to it-doesn't-have-always-on-drm.

So the rumors of an always-on DRM built into the console are resurfacing. Part of me thinks there's no way they would do that, it would eviscerate their consumer base, especially with Sony not doing the same thing. But then another part of me wonders how hard it would actually hit their bottom line, given the stereotype of Xbox being supported solely by CoD-playing dudebros. *Edit* - The rumor also mentions bluray, but that's more of a "no shit" prediction.

Glitch completely avoids the need for the microtransactions:

There are apparently fan translations. If I play the games without reading the books, will I be lost?

You're all GIRLS!

I can't find where, but I'd read rumors that the PS4's GPU was /way/ better than the 720's. Rumors though, so who knows.

I know, but the 360 is a lot closer to the PS3 than the rumors are suggesting the 720 and PS4 will be. *Edit* - Also, and now it's my turn to sound like a fanboy, Halo 4 looked as good as anything I've seen on PS3.

I wonder that too. I also wonder what effect it will have if the rumors are true and the PS4 significantly outclasses the 720. Seems like that would make console development less attractive because you wouldn't be able to make multiplats as easy. Either that or the PS4 version of multiplats would just be gimped by the 720's capabilities. And depending on how far apart they are you could end up with a weird situation where you have Wii U/720 multiplats that are developed to Wii U's capabilities, and then 720/PS4 multiplats that are developed to the 720's capabilities (with each console obviously having their own exclusives as well).

My understanding is that a private region actually means it's invite-only, so if you want to play alone you just make a private region and don't invite anyone, but if you want to play specifically with friends you can do that too.

That's still the topic subtitle, just for some reason the forum isn't displaying subtitles anymore.

As far as the "left trigger" thing, the headline is about how it's confirmed for next-gen consoles, so I don't think it's anything to get too worried about.

RDJ is a sexy, sexy man.

Yeah, my understanding is that you can just make a private region. *Edit* - Is anyone going to ever play in a non-private region? I can't imagine wanting to play such a persistent game in public multiplayer where other people could fuck with you so easily.

Yeah, that's why I like playing the Starcraft 2 custom mode MOBA's with this one friend of mine, cause he's always already played them a ton and can tell me what type of class each unit is and what your general strategy with them should be and whatnot. Enormously helpful.

Yeah, there's always the possibility they could come out with something I'm not anticipating to make me go DO WANT!

Yeah, my interest is mostly academic. atm I can't think of any games that would get me to buy a PS4.

I liked Lego Star Wars, but had to quit playing because I don't think my marriage would have survived it.

I've been playing Anno 2070 and really liking it a lot. The game keeps pestering me to take a break.

Just ordered a USB ethernet adapter because the built-in one on my HTPC quit working.
