Yup, the question is, who ... Yup, the question is, who 's going to buy this thing. And the stiffest competition for the One and ps4 is not each other, but the 360 and ps3, which for most of the target audience carries a cost of 0 and provides an experience that is... very similar, it ... |

Great post. But your view ... Great post. But your view of story-richness is too reductionist. Any good fictional experience has to include both a simulation of everyday life and story and transcend these matters.

Shhh Don 't mention those ... Shhh Don 't mention those fancy new techniques. They require too much thinking. The point of new consoles is to make games look better without any new complicated stuff to learn. Keep things just as before, same old trusted displacement mapping, just feed it 16x the memory, fingers crossed. |

Well, if there is anything ... Well, if there is anything the bubble/crisis shows is that there are people on the inside of the system, such as in major banks, who are capable of understanding the thinking of the economists that are supposed to be charge, and act upon this knowledge for their own benefit.
