Mamoulian War Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 http://arstechnica.com/gaming/news/2009/01...ied-console.ars just copy/paste from my post in offtopic forums in Bioware forums... now I see that Bioware was trully EAten After reading this, i realy do not know what to say... Unified (monopolistic) console system is just a nightmare for any customer... No competition was always bad for customers in every aspect of life... One manufacturer = no need to compete with different prices, different content, different hardware capabilities... All i see behind this is greed... Another reason for me to not purchased anything from EA, because with that i would be funding this sick vision... If you do not know what a monopolistic provider is able to do to his consumer, just google for russia, EU and gas... Was nice, while it lasted, that article just means no more Bioware games for me, which makes me very very sad Westwood Sent from my Stone Tablet, using Chisel-a-Talk 2000BC.

WILL THE ALMIGHTY Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 I try to respect EA with games like Dead Space, which really is great, but they're just plain evil. "Alright, I've been thinking. When life gives you lemons, don't make lemonade - make life take the lemons back! Get mad! I don't want your damn lemons, what am I supposed to do with these? Demand to see life's manager. Make life rue the day it thought it could give Cave Johnson lemons. Do you know who I am? I'm the man who's gonna burn your house down! With the lemons. I'm going to to get my engineers to invent a combustible lemon that burns your house down!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurlshort Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 Uh, what? How is it evil to not want to have to go through three or four development cycles for the same game in order to get it out to all the platforms? And the PC/Windows OS hasn't had any competition since the Amiga died. Has it really caused a degradation in the quality of PC games available?

Tale Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 Thank you, Hurl! I hate console wars so much. It's so senseless. Competing over brand recognition of hardware and tying that to the software instead of just the software competing with other software. Hardware vs hardware is alright, but when the software is tied to it, then it's no longer about the quality of the hardware itself, but about what software companies you can sign with.

Pidesco Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 Yeah, but the PC is an open platform while what EA is talking about here is a console, which is a closed system.

Kaftan Barlast Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 Often, a unified format is a very good thing for the consumer. Just imagine if there had been 3-4 different kinds of tv's that werent compatible with eachothers channels. Or if you needed a sony stereo to play records from Sony BMG and so on. The problem is that with the console system we have today, were you need permission from the console company to release games for that console, the freedom of creation would go down the drain. Like if one company had owned the patents for books, and the only books you could get were american teenage adventure books. A scary thought.

Considering that consoles have been released previously as standards with various manufacturers. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sega_Saturn#Saturn_models A properly standardized console would be no more "closed" than a DVD player.

With advantage, I actually meant programming for the hardware. Also, silly "exclusives" would stop as well. Something I wanna see for the Next-gen consoles (~2012) is an optional Internet Store, some equivalent for Steam where I can buy full version over the internet and download them. But of course they'd have to be cheaper than retail copies, otherwise there's no point for paying the same price. Edited January 28, 2009 by Morgoth Rain makes everything better.

I doubt prices really change at all. They haven't for 20 years. Regardless, if this happens, I am betting you'll see a resurgence in PC gaming.

Yes $10 is not much but imagine one crazy thing The manufacturer of said unified system would be Microsoft... All what he needs to do to make PC as gaming platform obsolete is to release new operating system that is not compatible with Windows and does not put anything like DirectX in it or make something into kernel that forbid calls into graphics cards (something very close to this is in PS3 atm... you can install Linux into PS3, but you are unable to use the graphic system of PS3 with it), i bet at some point something like OpenGL would be developed for it, but it could last long time... Now imagine Microsoft would give away only licenses to EA, Activision and Atari for example... All other developers would not be granted a license for the system, and because of the new operating system without ability of using graphics for anything else than Aero, they would be screwed. Now that 3 companies with granted license would not have anyone as a direct competitor and they could make with games and price whatever they want Crazy idea right???
