You could say we are \puts on sunglasses/...the secsperts.

But, to answer your question, I think it only makes sense for the latest technology to be utilised and to push the envelope for graphics and physics and whatnot. I wouldn't think Nvidia and AMD would be too pleased if they didn't have the most cutting edge game engines to show off their shiny new graphics cards.

It's the closed environment of the consoles really that have always been their main strength, and why we get the likes of Halo 4 that, (and I might not be entirely correct here) probably couldn't be possible on a PC of the same spec.

I'm getting weird deja vu from this thread...

Dave, you're a scholar and a gentleman. Also, a legend. Best of luck!

Yeah, best give it a chance to callus over, shouldn't take long. Playing over a blister, as you could imagine, is extremely uncomfortable and might produce quite a nasty sore. If that happens you could always superglue your finger shut, Flea style, haha! Good to know there are fellow bassists here on GB.

Oh, yeah, I was a big fan of DR strings for a long time, great string. I had the red coated long life ones on my matte black Ibanez SRX 720 (awful name, I know) and they looked so damn fine. Lately however I've started using Kerly Kues, which are considerably cheaper and, in my opinion, very underrated. Unfortunately they don't come in red. Damn.

Is not the case that Rocksteady and WB Games are rotating on development duties, ala Infinity Ward/Treyarch? If that's the case then perhaps Rocksteady have already started development on a next gen Batman game. Although we could do with a decent Superman game for once.

A big ole' damp squib. That's my impression anyway, especially regarding the whole Woodbury/Prison battle that seemed to be hyped up no end. I want to like this show, I really do, but some of the writing and general character development is just so standard. I will go into next season with a glass half full approach now that they have Scott Gimple as showrunner.

There are just some people who can't be pleased, that's the general feeling I got from some of the negative criticisms towards the meeting. Everytime I look at God of War 3 it stuns me it's running on, what, 7 year old hardware? Just apply that same logic to the next Playstation and I'm sure you catch my drift. It's all good, folks!

OH IT WAS PATRICK SO I GUESS I BETTER CREATE A THREAD BECAUSE THAT'S A GREAT EXCUSE TO RAG ABOUT PATRICK.

That's all I hear man. You're crazy listening to these podcasts if you don't want something spoiled, Spec-ops has already been spoilt for me but I don't care, it's my own damn fault.

@Rasmoss: Ah, don't sweat it. And I understand where you're coming from, personally I'm happy games are at least making attempts at achieving some level of emotional depth.

Just read this, an excellent article. I'm quite shocked at how many people just don't get Journey, and some of the criticisms being levelled at it in this thread are preposterous.

We will always have a Call of Duty and a Far Cry, but something like Journey is rare. It's the only game (and it is a game, seriously) in years that has actually made me think on a pure emotional level about all kinds of things, and I can't even explain why, and I know it has achieved that kind of response from many others.

The first time you finish that game with the same partner throughout... it's beautiful. It's the only word that does it justice for me. Who gives a shit about mechanics when it can do something like that? Some of you folks need to think a bit more broadly, but then again, OPINIONS, so what does it matter?
