With digital distribution now the norm and the cost of financing hardware increasingly impractical, Jacques Voller argues that traditional consoles are no longer necessary for gamers as a whole – nor a sensible investment for the manufacturers themselves.
Alone in the Dark developer Pieces Interactive has been hit with layoffs a month after its release, as per the latest information.
That genuinely, genuinely sucks. The reboot has clear flaws, but it really felt like a solid first step for this team to receive *greater* investment.
Shenmue: Reclaiming the Path is a fan game using Dreamcast-era visuals, and tells a new story within the Shenmue saga taking place in both Hong Kong and Guilin. Its expected to release on September 16th.
Something about recreating old school graphics in an era of HD high poly photo realism just hits a spot. I'm not nostalgic cause I mostly played GameCube and GB/A, but it's a visual style that gets over looked even by indies.

Pretty much all of these games listed are based around a morality system you don't have to be bad and you don't have to be good.
It seems to have left out some real amazing games like red dead redemption 1/2,ass effect and true crime la/ny

Hardware limitation? you mean you have found a machine that has no limitations?
Consoles are a great way to kick back and relieve stress.

Maybe I'm ignorant but when I've tried to play games on PC I always find there's something wrong that I have to fix. I just find it too much hassle.
Digital Distribution isn't the norm. Where did you pull that from? Have you heard of bandwidth? Have you heard of the lack of the online infrastructure globally to make DD the norm? Everytime there is someone saying DD is the norm, it's almost always an ignorant PC fanboy(girl) saying it because they don't like console gaming. It's not true though.
how about no.
