An editorial about the possibility of this console generation lasting till 2014.
Sony has patented to add multiple dialogue modes to let players switch between how many conversations with NPCs they want in the game.
Sony is like the only ones outta the 3 that has atuff like like this pop up changing thing in ways.
If you were a 90s kid excited about Nintendo’s upcoming N64 console, you likely read something somewhere about the Nintendo 64 Disk Drive, also known as the 64DD or DD64.
Genuine Enabling Technology was seeking damages, claiming the tech allowing PlayStation consoles and controllers to communicate infringes its rights.
Sounds like patent trolling they tried the same thing against Nintendo with the same pattern.
Motion and control input traversing over higher and lower frequencies seperate from each other allowing the controller to do both
So to recoup the money Genuine is going to take on Nintendo or Microsoft next. I hate patent lawyers they are some of the worst bottom feeders out there.
Console Gens always linger into the following one. However, I feel console manufacturers are in no rush to leave this last gen. Simply because of the tons of money that has yet to be recouped.
Additionally, releasing a new console is a huge gamble during economic good times, imagine the gamble during an economy in the shitter.
This is risky business. I honestly don't know where the next gen is headed, but I do know that many dev studios have closed down last gen due to rising dev costs among other factors. And going into a next gen in this economic climate will find more dev studios closing and rising dev costs..Console gaming is really at a crossroads.
Well, there's a lot of games coming out next year for the current-gen systems and they're looking a really good so yeah I don't see anything wrong with that. It would be cool though to at least get some kinda concrete news about next-gen systems next year (2013) during an event like E3. Not really thinking about next-gen stuff. I'm having a good time with what's out now.
yes
to me it would seem that the ps3 still has at least 2 more good years ahead of it.
I think Sony/MS need new consoles asap, their current ones are showing their age terribly. The "current generation" (I put that in quotation marks as the article is about the last gen not the current gen, the current gen only began this year.) shouldn't have another year left but unfortunately the most likely scenario is there will be no consoles released in 2013 but they will be announced.
