What about the uncountable international porn sites that have no interest in enforcing this? You can't regulate all the porn.

The Switch doesn't store savedata on the SD card, and you can't move it there. (piracy related?); only game updates are on the SD. Unless they mean 5GB of mandatory install install + saves, then this is going to be an issue. Sidenote: The Switch's internal storage is on it's own separate PCB...

I like what I see, but then I see numbers popping off of characters, and arbitrary stats on weapons. You're not an assassin, you're a loot-and-stab RPG character pretending to be an assassin.

I've only bought a Wii, WiiU and Switch for Nintendo games. At least with the Wii there were a lot of exclusive, 3rd party games.

Price might work if it really can best the PS4 Pro (I dunno, secret 5k mode?), but it's not worth that much if you can play the same games comfortably on the Xbone. More pixels and frames alone do not make a better gameplay experience.

Although you can surly make a compelling Ubisoft-Open-World game in the American outdoors, it doesn't seem very exotic compared to every other Far Cry game. Betting on name recognition?

Because today is not 5 years into the future, as the article suggests.

I believe it will be less that the gaming PC market grows, but that the power of your average PC or Windows/linux tablet will be enough to play whatever game you want, thus increasing the PC gamer market.

I'm seeing a little differences in the images, but not "buy a new console" levels of difference. The real issue is, they used all this power to make a higher-res game, but won't bother using it to improve gameplay.

I still clearly remember the glut of WW2 shooters years ago; I'm not feeling a strong desire to go back to it unless you do something uncommon (Russian campaign) or rare (Axis campaign), and treat it with dignity.

Well, that's good to know; I had a hell of a good time doing it.

You'd think that, but I remember a job placement in my teens where we demagnetized hard drives, wiped desktops for donations and smashed hundreds of year-old Blackberries with a sledgehammer in an office basement. You know, for security.

4k is nice, but if the game assets look the same, and you still have an iffy framerate, have you really gained that much?

There was something going around that the rigging system for animation wasn't overhauled from past games; leading to some of the oddities, but this more than one animator's issue. Like ME3, I'm betting QC and resources were limited, along with some rough deadlines set by EA.

It's not how much power you have, it's how you optimize it to do what you need it to.
