I played the franchise a little bit, but I felt like I was forcing my self to play a francshise so I just stoped and went with just RTTS. I don't like baseball game francshise since you have to sim so many games. The hitting took me a long time to get use to though I was just getting decent at it and could have always switched back to classic. I like playing as a P as I dont have to sim anything.

Yeah, I only play RTTS because it takes so much less time to get through games. I switched my C to LF to make them go even quicker. I need to be more patient when hitting, though.

Have you tried one as a closer? Thats what im doing and im hooked

[M.O.T.H.]

I didnt get the Show this year. But last year I was frustrated with RTTS because my dude never walked. I'd get to 3-0, and then it was nothing but strikes. :/

though i like, heard it totally gets better after 45 hours.

On the plus side, if you're into 14 year old girls with too much disposable income, you've got a total in.

I might make one down the line, but I like making Matt Vasgersian say "Moose Dick" too much to avert any attention away from my LF.

2011 will be remembered in gaming as the year of next-gen console rumors.

Source may not be the most reliable, but it's adding to more smoke out there.


Again, can't imagine Sony bringing a new console to market for at least two or three years given that the PS3 has only just started to hit it's stride.

[Caddy]

I'd say at least 24 months before we see a new Sony/Microsoft console.

[Bosanac01]

How much more advanced could it get?

I guess we'll see 3D games and ****, idk.

Direct X 11(or the OpenGL equivalent for the PS3) will be a big point, for sure.

60 FPS(or any gain in frames)at true 1080p(consoles use up scaling currently)

Physics, with larger scale interactive environments


Those sort of things, in addition to just generally looking better and the standard gains in lighting. Here's what Epic had to say about the future a few months back.




....and Crytek.

[nepg]

Haha. EE posted UE3... They're working on UE4 for next year. But, yeah, the current engines and hardware still have a ton of untapped potential. Especially the PS3.

[ElectricEye]

I'm aware it's UE3, but it's still a good example of what's coming on next-gen hardware. Most of that stuff isn't possible on consoles right now.

Wow. Reports are coming in from hardware manufacturers that the PS4 will go into production this year for a 2012 launch...with Kinect style motion controls :/

[publiccreate]

This happened because a 80gb system is coming soon.

Well that's not very necessary.

[killxswitch]

Screw that. I want to keep using my PS3 for several more years.

[Caddy]

Haha if that is true, Sony will have successfully stolen Kinect and Wii controls. I guess the real question is, why?

Kinect is just a more advanced PSEye. Sony also was working on wii/move like controllers with the PSEye before the Wii was released.

[Nalej]

I have zero interest in the wii/kinect/eye stuff. I'll be sticking with my ps3 for a while.

[nepg]

Yup. The PS3 always had motion controls, but rarely used them.

That's irrelevant because the point I was making is that it's all just a load of crap.

[nepg]

It's nice to have for the system to get casual user sales. Kinda like the BluRay player helped the PS3 early on (as high a price tag as the system carried, it was still the cheapest and best BR player).

For regular gamers like ourselves, we have nothing to worry about because Sony has always been consistent with the way they lean towards the hardcore crowd.

[wogitalia]

I don't feel like they've even touched the potential of the PS3 yet, so I really don't understand rushing the PS4 out already...

Yeah I like that it means more money for the video game industry and couldn't care less if it exists as long as it doesn't deter from the hardcore industry.

PS3 is really coming into its own right now and it's a shame this didn't happen earlier in its life cycle.

[njx9]

figures. it seems like every time developers finally figure out how to take advantage of a box, they have to build a new box no one will be able to program for properly for 4-5 years. i feel like this happened with the last xbox, in just the same way.
