well..apparently this has several povs...i stopped buying console stuff when i meet computers, so in my pov all console games should be ported to computers, especially the legend of zelda series.

summary in my pov, consoles are obsolote and computers are the future.

NcSoft REALLY needs to get things going

Trion to publish XL Games’ massive online game ArcheAge in Western markets (exclusive)

I don't particularly like that game but the chest is running out of space

No, BnS has console graphics and if any consoles companies were smart enough they would create games like BnS and incorporate the mmo theme. Almost everyone would go to console games if this game was on it just because consoles are that much better IMO.

/facepalm

P.S I hope one day in the near future, you look back at that comment to establish one inevitable realization.

I don't think I even have the budget for future consoles :[ I'm having trouble as is getting a new computer..

Getting upgrades every year for your computer will be worse.

DFO's cash shop is really P2W :/'' I mean yeah other than that it's good, but the cash shop is really gross. Mabinogi was also by devCAT. and Mabinogi II: Arena is currently in development. Mabinogi and Vindictus have great, balanced cash shops except for the pricing on some items in Vindictus.

But yeah back to the regular topic, carry on.

I don't think that's Neople fault that is mostly do to Nexon. I can go deeper into detail but then it will become another payment discussion again.
On topic Blade and Soul graphics look way better than current gen and the power required to run such large stages will probably make even the other 2 next gen consoles cry. Not sure how powerfull the steam box would be but the cheap consumer like me would rather make their own computer for significantly less. Basically unless next gen comes out with triple A games on the first day we have nothing to worry about except other MMOs.

Consoles are a cheaper alternative to gaming pc. The closest thing I can see happening to what you posted is if a company like Nintendo starts making programs or drivers for pc so that you can play their game. But like I said consoles are cheaper alternatives to pc also these companies make a lot of money doing it this way.

Unless you're drowning in money it's pointless and silly to upgrade every single year.

If Project NT ends up releasing before BnS I'm gonna laugh because Project NT went into development way after BnS did.

Yeah same here. Until something really COOL is released maybe 3-5 years down the road I wont be buying another console. My ps3 is literally collecting dust under my tv. And I JUST bought a new gaming pc.

That's the hilarious part isn't it~? That consoles have been trying to do exactly that~
Look at the upturn in games that are made for console but predominantly meant to be played online. It's spiked this generation, and with the thought of the next-gen consoles possibly not even having hard copies (all games being like DLC downloads) It's almost like a strange merger between PC-Console

sad thing is, console never really gets it right ^^;
Also...BnS was slated to be on the ps3...that fell apart, so...*shrugs*

Oh wow, haha.

B&S won't be on consoles anytime soon. You might as well give up on that. Current consoles can't handle B&S. Next-gen consoles are already behind the curve specs-wise compared to current gaming rigs.

Care to share next-gen specs? I'd love to know Secret information is hard to pass up

It's not so secret if you follow up on things like Wired and Engaget.
They keep track of MS/SONY closely; not just for console specifications.
Off the top of my head, the next XBOX will sport something like 8 GB of RAM, a medium level GPU (Current medium) and an 8x core CPU that just barely goes over 1.4 GHZ (Not sure why they went that route; bad idea IMO).
For SONY it's similar; except they chose a better form factor for CPU.

Anyway, search for it on Wired or Engaget if you want it bad enough.

[Faiyez]

Sony and MS went with AMD.

Next-gen console developers are going to have to think outside of the box and actually put some effort into the multi-threaded optimization of their games on these Bulldozer chips that have a lot of cores but a very poor IPC.

[Tashigi]

It'll make it very interesting for a lot of devs for sure.

[Ghastly]

Any higher technology than that won't be developed for or used by devs. You could have all the fancy parts but if the devs don't develop the games up to that technology what's the use? Those specs look amazing; mind you they're not even final specs
