Comment In: Microsoft: Xbox One users must have broadband, check in online [News - 06/06/2013 - 06:53]

Bob, r n r nMicrosoft ...

Bob, r n r nMicrosoft says that you will NEED a 1.5Mbps connection to operate the XBone. That is something that even satellite cannot provide. My parents use satellite internet. They are capped at 768Kbps and if they go over their monthly data cap, they are forced down to 256Kbps. ...

Comment In: Where is the "perfect" indie gaming platform? [Blog - 06/05/2013 - 01:12]

To me it is the ...

To me it is the overall reach that plays the primary factor. If I want the game to reach the maximum number of people possible, then the browser is the way to go. However, if the game is primarily single player, then PC would be better. Of course, with the ...

Comment In: 'No one's complaining about not being able to trade iOS games.' [News - 06/06/2013 - 12:30]

Tyler, r n r nIf ...

Tyler, r n r nIf that reduced competition results in fewer purchases, then yes, a price drop will happen. Will it result in lower out of the gate prices for games Probably not. But it will result in quicker price drops after launch.

Comment In: The Demo Is Dead, Part 2 [Blog - 06/05/2013 - 05:38]

Thank you for the followup. ...

Thank you for the followup. I think this article is far superior to your previous one. I think that the shifts in the market do make a lot of sense. Ditching the demo on a 5 or less game is probably a good move. The market has become one of ...

Comment In: The Demo Is Dead [Blog - 06/03/2013 - 10:08]

Christian, r n r nYeah, ...

Christian, r n r nYeah, that is one of the problems of a demo. You can have varying qualities between the demo and the full game. r n r nBut if your demo sucks but your game is great, then the problem is with how you created your demo, not ...

Comment In: Vita Remote Play mandatory for PS4 games [News - 05/29/2013 - 09:10]

That was something that crossed my mind as well. Could make transitioning from the Dual Shock to the Vita a chore.

Comment In: No used games means lower profits for game makers. Unless... [News - 05/29/2013 - 08:47]

Bob, r n r nI ...

Bob, r n r nI agree that they do have variable pricing. However, the current model moves far to slowly to support a market that excludes used sales.

Comment In: Party's almost over for GameStop's used games business [News - 05/28/2013 - 01:18]

No used games hasn 't ...

No used games hasn 't hurt the PC, they can get away with it r n r nPC Developers get away with it because prices have dropped to reflect the lack of resale ability. Ask yourself, What is the current average price of a PC game If you answer anything ...

Comment In: 'This model of game making is so fundamentally broken.' [News - 05/22/2013 - 06:02]

The games industry operates nothing ...

The games industry operates nothing like Hollywood. Movie studios will release 1 or 2 big budget 200million films a year as well as 7-10 small budget 20 million or less films in the same year. Even if those one or two blockbusters don 't break even, the profit made on ...

Comment In: With no acceptable offers on the table, Atari is going to auction [News - 05/23/2013 - 05:58]

Except no form since the ...

Except no form since the original has been noble.
