Ultimately its not up to CD as Square owns the IP and made the decision to go timed exclusive.

The way they keep using the word holiday makes me believe the exclusive deal ends sooner. Plus by the end of 2015 the ps4 would have sold almost 30 million consoles and there’s no way CD can ignore that.

I wonder if they will try to charge $60 for it.

It will be released on PC in April or May.

Ah. Understood.

That the apps don’t work if PSN is down. I thought it was ubiquitous that Netlix and other apps used your internet connection and weren’t dependent on PSN. I really didn’t mean paywall, I was just thinking that because I pay for PS+.

To be fair, no one on Throwdown said we should ban him. If you check that Twitter thread, I said we won’t ban him because, as insane as he is, the dude is loyal to our podcasts and The Koalition.

Word. What did you intend to infer?

It was a discussion on twitter.

I thought you could run the apps that are installed locally directly through the internet. I thought wrong.

No, I wasn’t reaching, I just shouldn’t have said paywall.

Chris isn’t a liar, he probably just hasn’t configured his Xbox One properly. BTW Chris, I never have to enter my password.

Look how skinny The Rock used to be before he gained 600lbs of neck muscle alone lol

1) Do you believe the Sony silence on their First Person studios is a result of them learning their lesson from games like Last Guardian and Agent?

2) When did Indie, AA, AAA games and the differences become more important than the actual experiences you have? Should people shut the fuck up about it?

3) In what way could we encourage changing the mindset of Microsoft vs Sony vs Nintendo vs PC vs shunned upstarts and breed the understanding that we need all of these things to be successful in order for the gaming industry to evolve? (2 part question. First as fans, 2nd as writers covering the industry)

4) Was Nintendo smart in shunning “Hardcore gamers” and focusing on their core audience?

5) Do people realize the Kinect vs Playstation Eye argument is damn near the most useless discussion in discussion world?

6) Hideo Kojima is offered these three jobs exclusively and you can only choose one: Sony (Metal Gear), Microsoft (Zone of the Enders), Nintendo (Silent Hill), PC (Policenauts)

7) Which has the better chance of hitting the main stage at E3: The Last Guardian gets a release date / Shenmue III announced as Xbox One exclusive / Nintendo surprises with exclusive Resident Evil

8) Why are remasters so successful? Why do I feel a murderous rage whenever they’re announced?

9) Speaking of, does it feel dirty that Sony has turned backwards compatibility failure into an outright fucking business model now? Was this planned?

10) Will the RTS genre ever make it’s way (successfully) to consoles or will PC forever reign supreme?

Every. Single. Time.

Perfect gifs.

The only game on Xbox One that interest me is Quantum Break but I’m not excited about it nor is it my favorite game because I haven’t played it.

The Kinect camera has more tracking capabilities but I don’t see any of that being used and most people don’t care for it anyway. When Kinect was first announced Microsoft said you will be able to scan your skateboard and anything else and use it in games but years later I’ve yet to see this. I’ll chalk it up to just another one of Microsoft’s many lies.

The PSN is the infrastructure by which it all operates, so it makes sense that some things may not work with the network down. That’s a “wall” but that’s not a paywall even in the slightest. Quite a reach.

Otherwise, great questions. Can’t wait for the BS to surface for question 5.

Maybe so, but to call that a paywall is just stupid and ignorant.

You’ve never seen my say ban him. He doesn’t bother me at all.

I don’t think this is a paywall, but the fact that you HBO is reliant on PSN is ass-backwards

You obviously have no idea what a paywall is so let me educate you.

From what I seen from both cams they are the same. I don’t know if the ps cam can recognize limbs because I don’t play those type of games. How has kinect’s night vision been used this gen? I really would like to know.

If the PSN is down and you can’t log in, it makes sense that your apps don’t work. Your HBO Go app is connected to your PSN account right? Can’t log into PSN so your apps that are linked to your PSN account don’t work. This still isn’t a pay wall.
