Hardcore Gamer: Despite our best efforts as human beings, we're prone to judging books by their covers, and how a device looks has an effect on how we perceive its power or functionality.
Gary Green said: We’re finding ourselves in a similar position with the Pixel Remaster edition of Final Fantasy IV as we were with Final Fantasy III since, once again, we’ve received a slightly upscaled, more vibrant port of the original game when there’s already an expanded 3D remake available. As such, we’re playing a game which, even after its long-awaited release, still lives very much in the shadow of its remake.
If only they didn't screw ps4 owners over with a physical release. I'd have ran through this in a heartbeat.
The first one I played, it was the one that made me fall in love with JRPGs and is still my favorite to this day. A masterpiece
The Nerd Stash: "The Wasteland is unforgiving, and there are a ton of brutal ways to die in the Fallout universe. We listed out the absolutely worst ones."
While many are fans of the Honkai Star Rail story so far, The Nerd Stash believes that the deaths of Robin and Firefly no longer carry much weight.
There are people who will argue that those dirty-signal polluting lights on their PC make it faster. So yea, perception is that looks make it faster, but the reality is no.
I don't really like it when a console tries to look like an appliance like a VCR or DVD player, I like the more interesting looking consoles like Sega Genesis/MegaDrive, Original Xbox, Dreamcast, PS1, PS3, PS4. The elite 360 consoles look quite cool too imo
The article could have easily gone into controllers, too. They're the biggest compliments to the design of the console and play a big part in its design (e.g. a curvy Xbox 360 controller for a curvy console).
For people who have no idea about the specs, the console design influences their perception about how powerful it is. Just like cars and PCs.
It needs to be small enough to fit in my unit and big enough to keep cool... The PS4 mastered both of these :P
