How come no one has mentioned the elephant in the room? Proprietary graphics drivers vs Gallium3D mesa (and how both are a pita). Assuming steamos use a derivative of Ubuntu...and lets say you have an ATI card. 'radeon' mesa open drivers are easy to set up and get running out of the box, but they are pretty shitty when it comes to playing native 3d games never mind something ported (not to mention how poor they are with flash and HD movies ). So the other option would be to use the proprietary fglrx driver from amd. These can be a bitch to set up (and upgrade) depending on your card/hardware (has been this way for a long time). Now for Nvidia the open Nouveau Gallium3D driver is just plain bad for 3d the NVIDIA binary driver is much faster. Nvidia proprietary drivers are easier to upgrade and setup but still require some form of tinkering (especially if you have dual monitors).
The real question I am asking is how can any of this take off without massive amounts of money and support towards the open sources or proprietary drivers to ever compete on a level with windows? and this is just the tip of the iceberg. MTP support in debian based distros can be a nightmare. I had to rewrite then recompile a driver just to get MTP to work with my phone. I have been using Debian/ubuntu .deb pkg style distros since 2000 and I just can't see this really taking off on consumers who want a plug and play experience.
Bummer that you were unable to enjoy it. I didn't play it until it was (oi!) past it's prime... I really did think it was pretty fun, but I can understand not loving the controls. If you are willing to give it some time it pays off, but it seems you are pretty low on it. Really don't know why I would even try to convince otherwise? But alas I'm drunk.
AMD does business with both Sony and Microsoft. Billion dollar kind of business. It can't have an employee paint one of the two in an overly positive light, respectively the other in an overly negative one.
My bet would be that Mr. Diana said exactly what he's allegedly said in that interview, and meant it too. Just, it had to be unsaid. Now everybody can believe what they will.
my bet would be that you have a bias, and looking at your previous post that would be fantastic odds.
I actually dont care. We will really find out how everything measures in just a few months. But people on both sides of the fence posting and counter-posting with unfounded quotes is really tiresome, and sometimes it needs to be pointed out, Because like I showed above, if you cant prove it, why post it.
This topic was started with a quote that really wasn't a quote and had no reference, and then people trying to debunk it were using the exact same process.
Bull shit, anything positive towards MS turns negative, an anything sony (neg or pos) becomes godlike.
Edit: nothing towards you specifically its just bizarre. I have no stakes in both (actually I have both on pre order but) man people are nutty
ok you got me, but my main point is that posting "quotes" without proof of Quote is pretty much worthless. I mean, why not just do what you did, but with the image so that it is more official than just some internet poster doing what I did?
In reality who gives a shit? this is just low rent epeen. will it justify a purchase? "oh goawdzors my next console has not a huma, I suxzorz" The hyperbole from the sony fanbase is balls out nutty.
