I think they should have some fresh games for once.

Whatever it is it's going to be horrible bullshit, just like this console generation

More focus on games, less focus on hardware.

They should remove any and all internet connectivity.

fat chance of that happening though.

>>5928
It's gonna be like PC games where an internet connection is required, probably

>>5929
As consoles become more and more like PCs, one really has to wonder what the point of them really is anymore.

>>5930
PCs are too hard for 10 year olds to figure out

>>5931
Kids can browse the web fully at one years old today I think they would easily adapt, it is their parents that are stupid and concerned about peuadobiles. That is why Nintendo exist. Kids are not dumb just cruel.

>>5932
i mean PC GAMING is too hard for them. they see something like resolution choices and their eyes glaze over

Wiiiiii U2 to win!

Microsoft will try even more harder to lure the trojan into your home. The only new console I can even consider after owned all three this generation is Nintendo. Pc gaming is on the rise again.

But I will only play more retro games as the years pass..

haha, you can't be serious can you?

Why is it weird for someone to prefer nintendo over sony or microsoft?

>>6365
No, I think it's weird for people to like any of them enough to buy into their next generation systems after the shit each one has pulled this generation.

>>6503

Consoles would be dead to me (more than now anyway), since I only ever rent games anymore, and I wouldn't be able to do that anymore

Consoles should perish, along with Apple and such. Proprietary hardware, proprietary software, proprietary networks are killing internet and dragging all digital culture to the pit of hell.

>>6507
Without consoles we'd only have Japanese games on handhelds and phones. They'll never fully adapt to the PC platform.

Consoles will just go "mobile" with a video output to a big screen if needed.

That's my prediction.

>>6830

Seems very likely for Japan but I wonder about other territories...

>>6510
Why not? PC is more adaptable...

>>6874
They only use PC for porn games.

>>6875
those are the only games that matter anymore anyway

http://www.theverge.com/2012/7/2/3134004/ouya-a-99-hackable-android-game-console-designed-by-yves-behar

>Ouya has recruited the talents of Yves Behar to build a $99 Android game console that you can connect to a TV, with a high-concept developer ecosystem that's as free as can be. Any developer will be able to publish games, claims the listing, and all games will be free to play. Even the underlying hardware is "built to be hacked" — every customer who buys a retail box will get a dev kit in the bargain, the site claims.

I thought first when mentioning "free" as in freedom not free2play, This Will be most surely raped by Steam box later as it enters the market. I would buy it if it has reasonable prices in the appstore and alternative to purchase from other stores or run unlicensend code apk

Jesus those facts... I could see taping off the lens of the camera, but why does the mic stay on when the system is powered down? why is it required to be connected?

why can't people just disable the camura? like cover it with something or point it at a wall?

how can the microphone be active when the xbox is powered down? where is it recording to?

>>8547
it obviously has a direct line to NSA headquarters where trained operatives are recording your biometric reactions to each frag in your Halo game so they can write a report and have it on Obama's desk the next morning.

I'm glad there's systems like Linux out there, otherwise this sort of crap would be pushed on PC's with nowhere to run.

>>8549
I don't see webcams being mandatory on PCs anytime soon, and Linux is sadly terrible in terms of gaming compatibility.

>>8549
"I'm white and I approve of this hentai-shop" - is what that seems to be saying.

Yes!
The 13 places that will be seeing the Xbox One at launch are: Australia, Austria, Brazil, Canada, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Mexico, Spain, United Kingdom, United States and New Zealand. Those who reserved the console and live in Belgium, Denmark, Finland, Netherlands, Norway, Russia, Sweden or Switzerland, are scheduled to get their hardware "as soon as possible" in 2014.

To compensate for this delay, Microsoft will be giving those who pre-ordered in the affected countries a free game with their console. Which game the company will be shipping out is currently unknown.

>>8549
It's funny to see this now, since the only way to play commercial games on Linux is using Steam.

>>8563
There's Desura, and WINE was always there for non-native games.

I has PS1, 2,3 and soon 4.
Yes, I have a PSP and Vita too.

its like theres an entire sub-industry built around the fact that nobody realizes you can run a HDMI cable from your existing PC or laptop to your TV

>>10639
To be fair not many videocards out there have hdmi ports and using an adaptor comes with a fair amount of problems. My prebuilt PC came with a hdmi port but when it was time to upgrade the card it took a while to find something decent with an hdmi port and the mother fucking thing turned out to be HDMI mini. Ever since using the adapter I've had occasional problems with audio not transferring over to the tv and video sometimes flickering due to the back connection. I'm on my second adapter now after the first one broke under the cable's weight and now this one is starting to go too.

>>10639
I can't speak about the stupid Alienware stuff, but Steam's in-home streaming is actually quite nice. I can play games in bed with my underpowered laptop streamed from my desktop at full settings with none of the noise. It also works with non-steam games, so I stream VNs through it as well.

Xbox One's Japan Launch Marked Down as Worst Console Launch for Xbox

Microsoft's Xbox One has sold just 23,562 units in its first week on the Japanese market following its launch in the region earlier this month — less than half of the number of Xbox 360 systems sold in Japan, Famitsu reports.

Complete immersive virtual reality. Nintendo should program and allow mods of lolis so their lonely fanboys can have people to play with.

Stupid /v/-style console wars shit aside, I'd agree with that sentiment if they could actually make it anywhere near legitimately immersive. As it is now though, our "virtual reality" technology is essentially limited to a camera that turns with your head. I think we're unfortunately a long, long way from having convincing virtual lolis.

>>10912
I fail to see what Nintendo has to do with it, but I would really like to see proper body capture in games now that we have optics and head motion figured out.

>>10915
Nintendo games are more casual and relaxed, the stuff lolis other than Tomoko Kuroki would play as opposed to most PS4 and XBox games which are all hardcore people and 13-year old boys being dicks on voice chat.

Maybe a good AI in the next 10 years though that is unpredictable enough? Just a pad sitting on the ground plugged in like a controller which you can see a virtual friend doing whatever on if you wear special goggles. Heh...

>>10916
I definitely don't agree with that. Nintendo games are notoriously difficult, the phrase "Nintendo-Hard" exists for a reason.
Playstation and XBOX have plenty of casual stuff like sports games, vocaloid/rhythm stuff, VNs, iM@s, etc, the only real difficulty comes from trying to control FPS games with a controller. I'll give you the 13-year-old community, though...

>>10912
I think it'd be more like Sony to do something like that.

>>10917
I dunno, personally I got 93% in Super Meat Boy (Cleared all light and dark worlds) once and when I look at today's Mario it seems really forgiving in comparison and now I just wanna play co-op with loli friends haha. I don't own a Wii U though. Last Zelda game I played was Skyward Sword in August, I didn't get stuck for too long in most of the places -- think it's easier than the N64 ones.

I'm shit at FPS, never play em I guess.

PC Master Race

Registered bloodline Aryan PC user Master Race. Even better.

>>11522
The "master race" meme is a plot made by brown skinned and jewish subhumans used to derail its original meaning related to the Aryan Herrenvolk. Because it implies those brown skinned and jewish subhumans are inferior to the good old White Man (which is 100% true), they decided to force this meme to the foolish and gullible videogaming community and slowly drive people to forget the true nature of these words.
It is really sad seeing people still falling for it.

N64 was more Next Gen than consoles today

>>11524
Yeah I hate it when I play my 360 because it takes like 10 minutes to get the game going. My friends call me a hipster for playing my older consoles more but I honestly couldn't care less
