Honestly if the Japanese leave the gaming world and can only focus on making games for Japan, the gaming in America is going to be a very depressing corporate by the numbers dystopia.
PS4 isn’t going anywhere. Worst thing that could happen would be that playstation would become its own company. PS4 is dominating console wars, that’s not going to change.
A joke. Maybe Nintendo, Sony and MS should just team up for one big company. Like many have said in the past. Who knows…something could happen…maybe not necessarily good but it be fun to watch.
Just get the Steam version of KOFXIII. It can be run on computers from 1999.
Go back to the Xbox thread to talk about wack-ass Killer Instinct(which is DOA, dead on arrival, not the titty physics simulator) with the two other modern FG loving phaggots who actually bought an Xbone. 
I need to buy stock in Sony
These articles always come out but never actually happen. Nintendo was supposed to be dead like 30 times already and the CEO of Microsoft has talked about getting rid of Xbox a few times. Yet…nothing happens.
I like my Xbone. Killer Instinct and Titanfall is good enough for me for a while. Here’s hoping Sunset Overdrive and Quantum Break are tops also.
Al Gore to take over sony internets.
I’ve seen a video of Skullgirls at Frosty Faustings VI and it looks as if it was being played on the PC. PC could very well be the future of Fighting Games if Sony leaves for good. Devs would have to take measures so that running FG tournaments on PC is easier than it currently is (Quite a few games and even Big Picture Mode still won’t recognize my stick as an X360 controller). Of course this could cause a few problems as the FGC has a notable portion of its playerbase living in poverty compared to E-Sport. The poverty-bound fgc members probably won’t be flocking to the XBone anytime soon due to requiring an internet connection for setup and KI’s always-on thing.
I REALLY hope PC does NOT become the future of gaming…that would be so lame…
This is GREAT News! LOL!

You realize every console ever is made up of PC parts, right? They’re the same thing with different inputs. Some console games let me use KB+mouse and all PC games allow me to use a pad or stick whether they’re made to work with one out of the box or not.
Steambox is the only “console” to release soon that allows you to freely modify it from a hardware standpoint.
This is actually not true. Despite what the minimum requirements say, my comp is only a year old and it’s not running XIII at a full 60 FPS unless the backgrounds are turned off. Better computers than mine have been having the same problem as well.
That could be more than the port itself though so maybe it’ll get a patch that’ll fix it.
Except for that whole paying for online deal. Fuck that.
I figured it would run well since the requirements are so damn low.
This is the first time I’ve heard of it running horribly unless you nuke the settings, though. Dat shitty optimization.
Sorry, but this is crap lol. This is a financial calculation website for do it yourself wanna be investors who are too lazy to learn to read a financial statement. This information is less than worthless -_-
I don’t care for the hardware. I never got into tech stuff outside of gaming. Parts, specs all that stuff…doesn’t mean much to me. I know SOME stuff but eh…can’t be bothered to learn. So what if console have parts of a PC? Doesn’t make them a PC. Plus for me…PC has the worst game line-up of any gaming device…even worse then nintendo.
I come all the way from the Juri subforums just to applaud your idiocy.
You can still have a fairly new PC and the PC could absolutely suck. My last PC was from 2009 and struggle with games from 2004. I tried my damnedest to play TF2 on it. I lowered every setting down to nothing, downloaded a maxfps config, installed some low LOD models and yet I still couldn’t break 20 fps. The main reason I even went through the trouble of upgrading was to watch animu.
If PC has the same games that work just as well in terms of functionality as a console, how would console be any better? The only reason I still play console is because most FGs are console exclusive. Hopefully one day I get to play UMC3 and Tekken Tag 2 on PC.
Regardless of the accuracy of the report or not (and I reiterate, I don’t even care about the original post) if Sony and Nintendo were to go under, I’d be a 100% PC gamer at that point.
As of now, I’m already doing 80% of my gaming on PC. This last generation was a humongous let down for me. I’m sitting out the current gen until something I have to have comes out of Sony’s first party studios, other than that, I’m back on PC. Multiplat games will all be PC for me. PC games scale upwards, console games never do. I can play PC games that I bought 30 years ago, today, on my current PC, and future games that I buy I can play on my PC in the future. The trend in consoles has now changed in that regard as well, so no one will be playing physical older gen games on new gen consoles. Too much money to be had selling emulated digital ports. Hell, even emulation on PC offers more benefits to playing older games than on their console counterparts via BC. How about key remapping? Higher resolution polys? Better texture filtering or no texture filtering if that’s your thing?
PC games. I can play them how I want to play them. If the frame rate isn’t good enough, I can scale back the graphics. If it doesn’t have a control scheme, I want, I can create one. I can use almost any input device that I’m comfortable with on PC. Once console versions of fighting games die, guess which version will still have a thriving online scene? PC. Guess which version also stands to gain new players once a console version dies? PC. Guess which system will always have free online match making? PC.
I originally ditched PC gaming back in 2003 or so after picking up a PS2 about half way through its lifespan. PC ports were pretty bad back then, and on top of that, not a lot of games were ported. Plus, back then, PC games were dicking us up and down with DRM and that was another reason I quit. Yeah, I could have no-cd and hacked that shit, but it was insulting to begin with, and I didn’t want to support it. Recently some companies cough Ubisoft… thought it was a great idea to make DRM even more ridiculous, and it hurt them in their wallets where it counts.
I remember back in the day when PC gaming was PC gaming and console gaming was console gaming. You bought console games on console and PC games were another beast. Being part of both worlds was great in the late 90’s and had so much variety. Sometimes you got PC ports of console stuff, but not often, since both platforms offered different play experiences. Now a days, things have changed. People tried putting PC games on consoles (all the fucking shooters what the fuck, how can people play that shit with a pad??) and consoles became home to shitty and under performing PC ports that never saw PC ports. PC’s then became home of old school console games via indy developers who love the classics. Now, we’ve seen PC gaming become quite healthy and people are buying games on PC again, and PC ports are being released of console titles that perform much better than their console counterparts. Why anyone is still gaming on a console for anything other than exclusives at this point is beyond me.
Also, lets look at what’s coming up. Both the new consoles are x86 architecture. This means, these games are developed on x86 machines for x86 machines. Every game will have no excuse as to why a PC port is not made and not up to par and not polished. Native code is native code and won’t need tweaks for different architectures on compile. No tweaks will be needed for custom processor vs custom processor. No game this day will be built on a foreign architecture dev kit. It’s all x86. This is a beacon of light for PC gaming. And, it’s even possible that console exclusives could be played on a PC with library wrappers (similar to Windows programs being used in Linux via WINE) since the base architecture will be exactly the same.
So, anyone who says PC gaming is gay, fuck you. PC gaming is the most customizable and user friendly way to play games. Yeah, it might be a pain in the ass to tweak games and time consuming, but to get a game to play the way YOU want and not the restrictive console way that forces you to play the game the way IT wants, is well worth the trade off. And if you still think PC gaming is gay, then fuck you. Twice. In the asshole with a spoon.
That’s your fault for buying a PC in 2009 with hardware from 1998. I could run TF2 on full settings on my old PC from 2001. What’d you buy, a $200 laptop from Wal-Mart in 2009?
