Shutup Cliffy B, why are you still talking? You're becoming the new Peter Molyneux. If there's anyone less entitled to talk about innovation its you, Mr muscly marine dude bro shooter.

Show your new game, then talk.

LOGICWINS3875d ago

Or Cliffy can talk and you can simply choose not to listen. Thats another route.

Anyways, I can see VR defining next-gen. It'll be exciting to see how Sony's VR headset will work with the PS4.

GarrusVakarian3875d ago

Or he could just let his games do the talking....

guitarded773875d ago

I think Cliffy is drunk.

Steam Box and Oculus are cool, but I think he's overstating their potential. Do you really see Oculus mounted to every gamers head?

bumnut3875d ago

"Do you really see Oculus mounted to every gamers head?"

Yes!

KazHiraiFTW3875d ago

Queefy B has some funny ideas. I don't think Steam Box or Oculus Rift will be very successful. I'm just not really seeing much interest in either from anyone.

The Great Melon3875d ago

@KazHiraiFTW

You haven't talked to me enough then. I have managed to convince everyone where I work that the future that Oculus Rift is just beginning to provide is amazing.

TheDevKit3875d ago (Edited 3875d ago )

I don't get why people dislike Cliff. He's never been genuinely obscene towards anyone and people still give him a bad reputation.

filchron3875d ago

sony could rule next gen if they get a VR setup running at full 1080p for both eyes. i'll get whichever VR headset gets to that resolution first

your just jealous cause your not him

Blacktric3875d ago

You sure showed him... /s

GarrusVakarian3875d ago (Edited 3875d ago )

Im jealous that im not an egotistical, overrated, cocky SOB?

Ha.

It's you're, btw.

Hufandpuf3875d ago

Make a game better than Jazz Jackrabbit, Unreal Tournament, and Gears of War. Then criticize. Same for Moleneux. They may say some outlandish things, but that doesn't mean that they don't have a right to say it, judging by their contributions to the industry they know more about how things are run than most.

LightofDarkness3875d ago

Too right. People act as if Molyneux has never made a good game. He invented a genre, for god's sake (excuse the pun).

Thehyph3875d ago

What genre? I'm confused.

Blacktric3875d ago

"They may say some outlandish things, but that doesn't mean that they don't have a right to say it..."

And when they open their mouths to spew crap, they and their supporters should be ready to take whatever's coming. It works both ways.

The Great Melon3875d ago (Edited 3875d ago )

@stevehyphen

God games (hence LightofDarkness's pun). Look at Populous and the Black and White series.

Thehyph3875d ago

My bad, I missed where he said Molyneux. Thought we were talking about cliffyb still.

I didn't catch the pun at fIrst, either.

Great games though. I was always pretty partial to Myth (those gibs, man!) and the old Settlers and Dungeon Keeper (if those are considered good games) myself.

madpuppy3875d ago (Edited 3875d ago )

@Hufandpuf: That's like saying "when you graduate from Yale,get an MBA from Harvard Business School and become the POTUS then you can criticize George W. Bush.

If someone doesn't like what someone does or their personality they don't have to "measure Up" to some pie in the sky standard to have an opinion or Feel some way about someone or something.

I don't like Cliffy B's games all that much either and he "can" be a dick.

pythonxz3874d ago (Edited 3874d ago )

I don't understand why people hate Molyneux. He created the first "god" games.

As for Cliffy B., he was the one that inspired me to start developing games myself.

Edit: ignore me repeating others. They posted before me.

johndoe112113874d ago

"They may say some outlandish things, but that doesn't mean that they don't have a right to say it", agree with you 100% on that.

" judging by their contributions to the industry they know more about how things are run than most", you obviously don't know much about cliffy b and some of the drivel that comes out of his mouth.

And on a side note, don mattrick has been in the gaming industry for years and made some very good contributions to it and has also been credited for making xbox live the success it is today. He's also the same guy that spearheaded what is considered to be by many the most disastrous game reveal in console history and almost single handedly destroyed the rep and sales of the xbox one. Food for thought.

theWB273875d ago

Just sounds like you have no real beef with him, but you just want to join in on the CliffB shut up train. The man has hadly said anything lately.

If devs only spoke when they showed their games then we'd hardly have any news to hear about.

malokevi3875d ago

I think VR is way over-hyped at this point. It's cool... yes. But it's still not practical. Everyone has a TV, everyone has a monitor... nobody has a headset.

On top of that, I've heard mixed reviews as far as how realistic they feel, how disorienting they are, how they work with/without glasses. Games that work well with them seem to be driving/flight simulators and the like.

It's cool, yes. I would love to see it continually supported and developed. But people are jumping the gun to assume that this stuff is going to be commonplace this generation.

Just give me an XB1 and a PS4, and then we'll talk.

Campy da Camper3875d ago

As soon as they get porn to stream seamlessly on it then it will go mainstream. Sad, but true. Well, not sad, really...lol

Rivitur3875d ago (Edited 3875d ago )

Well I believe an Australian dev is making a porn game for the Oculus.
Sorta Off Topic: the name escapes me but there is a company that modifies a hydra razor to create a controller that has real feedback when swinging virtual swords/ melee weapons that will be very useful with the Rift along with the Omni Treadmill.

Tapioca Cold3875d ago

None of us will buy steambox or oculus rift.

BallsEye3875d ago

Oculus is awesome, yes (lets forget for a second a crappy resolution) but steambox? Steambos is just a PC in smaller case, more limited. It plays PC versions of games therefore it needs to be beefed up to play current games well enough. What;s the point of steambox if it does not have it's own dedicated ports like real consoles? I rather just use my PC then, less limited, more flexible, more powerful.

majiebeast3875d ago

I see steam os changing the pc gaming platform but the steambox is a niche product and i dont think it stands a chance against the big 3 if thats even the market they are going for. Occulus Rift i will need to try it myself to see what the fuss is about.

WilliamH3875d ago

You're still a chipmunk CliffyBitch, could his head get any bigger

PSN-JeRzYzFyNeSt3875d ago

it was so peaceful when he was in his hole.

i enjoyed it while it lasted

starchild3874d ago

What the fck is wrong with some of you? What in the world bothers you so much about him?

I happen to agree with everything he is saying here. And if you don't agree, that's fine too. It's just an opinion.

All you sheep on the hate-cliffB bandwagon are ten times more annoying. Please crawl back in your holes!

PSN-JeRzYzFyNeSt3874d ago

its alright bro dont get to sad its just cliffy. i would explain why no one likes him but itd be a waste of my time talking about him.

Steam’s Refund Policy Change Won’t Affect You Unless You’re A Lowlife

Steam is changing its refund policy, but you probably won’t be affected

Read Full Story >>
thegamer.com
thorstein20d ago

Should have happened a long time ago. People wanting refunds after 50 hours in game.

fsfsxii20d ago

Pc gamers will take this as an excuse to pirate things

KyRo20d ago

I'm not sure why you're getting disgrees. Whilst not all PC gamers are petty, an awful lot of them are lol

Crows9020d ago

Entirely untrue. Not any more petty than console gamers. The only large difference is console gamers don't have much of a choice.

Michiel198920d ago

Not sure why you're getting agrees. an awful lot of console gamers are overemotional twinks ready to go to war over a plastic box, I'll take being a pc gamer then.

Speaking about overgeneralizing much.

Nooderus19d ago

"X" type of gamer conversations are cringe

qalpha20d ago

Daily reminder that 'TheGamer' is a corporate-generated, anti-gamer, anti-consumer, clickbait web site. They are mostly A.I. generated articles that villainize gamers. They provide nothing positive and actively try to provoke and divide the community through extreme view points and politics. Do not give them any clicks.

Inverno20d ago

Only scumbags? As if people don't play their games on console put in the most amount of hours and return it to GameStop and trade it in for another game. But also how many people are actually do this? And what games have been allowed to be refunded?

DustMan20d ago

You can refund any game you've purchased as long as it hasn't been longer than two weeks, and you've played less than 2 hours. I wish they would change it to 3 hours because some RPG's have so much exposition that you may only get an hour total of complete gameplay. That's my only knock on it. I've refunded plenty of stuff I was just curious to try. I typically stay away from Early Access titles which are the only ones affected by this policy change.

Inverno20d ago

Apparently early access doesn't count, only complete games with a play early preorder bonus.

Gaming4Life198120d ago

I definitely know if I want a refund in 2 hours.

SegaSaturn66920d ago

I never liked refunding anything. Even if a film is bad, i dont want my money back. Sometimes things just aren't for me, and it's not the creator's fault necessarily.

Gaming4Life198119d ago

I feel you and i have never walked out on a bad movie cause I payed my money. I also don't refund games cause I'm a gamer and I know what to buy lol. I think having a digital refund is great.
