Yeahhh.... If it has Denuvo like Frontiers i wouldnt consider that verified.

Not being playable/launchable offline contradicts the purpose of a mobile console.

Steam/valve really needs to consider the implications of the preservation-destroying DRM they allow in their games.

Games I have purchased on steam are no longer playable because of their online DRM that was abandoned.

I wont pay for a game with this form of DRM ever again.

The only thing "convoluted" about this whole announcement was pricing. The price of the console The price of the games The price of their online services and upgrades...

All of that is gut-wrenching as Nintendo claws at its dedicated fans wallets.

Otherwise the features and games look amazing, i understand why people are willing to pay those prices.

Fingers crossed we luck out with easy jailbreaks and emulators like we did for the Switch 1.

As long as they stop half-assing them and include all the features in the game i say hell yeah. They usually do a good job otherwise.

Idc if its an arbitrary features like multiplayer, map builders or avatar implementations... Remastering the game means remastering the WHOLE game.

I'm still heated about the Turok 3 half-remaster. I know they had their reasons but they didnt even call it a "Campaign Remaster" like the should of... Even Activision has enough respect for its fans to clearly communicate features (MW2CR).

I have one as well that sits docked next to my playstation, its the ideal way to game, if you dont mind dealing with a bit of challenge to get some classics running.

Edit: preserve for their customers, not preserve the data for themselves, they can still choose to vault content forever, then what good is it to anyone?

It will definitely be something in between that incrementally moves the mark in their favor to an extent that people dont mind.

Linux truly is the only open frontier of gaming and software independence. The only reason to not be there already is mild inconvenience.

Theyre already doing it with all PS3 games, and you can only stream them.

This absolutely is not preservation of classic games, this is walling off and financially exploiting them as much as possible. Nintendo is doing the exact same thing.

Imagine if these companies started forcing a subscription/forcing streaming of all new games? They wont right now because people would be outraged at not possessing their games(or at least their data).

Alas, we are all boiling frogs and 2013 Xbox is getting what they predicted... An all digital future where the consumer possesses nothing and pays more for it. This is exactly where Sony is headed... Dont let the insulting trickle feed of 2 classic titles per month convince anyone otherwise.

With a subscription most likely lol

Once these handhelds start running HX 370's and better(at around ~$500), the true dawn of the gaming handheld will be upon us...

These new chips are how xbox and playstation will make their libraries portable.

Yes, and they still do not do nearly enough to preserve their games.

But not to preserve its games....

Well dont play The Last of Us part 1/2 or it will ruin gaming for you.
