Re: Random Thoughts Thread
As someone who has 6 XBox 360s sitting around unused, I can say that they're mostly irrelevant now. Even if I modded one to do everything and stuck a relatively large hard-drive in it full of games, I don't know anyone who would want one. I even have one hooked up to a 3D capable projector with a 100" screen and 6 pairs of active-shutter glasses on a charger. Nearly all of the 3D capable 360 games sitting in the collection never used, and a hard-drive full of 3D movie files. Just like 3D technology and the Kinect, nobody cares. Depressing.

From the standpoint of design sensibilities they were modern, many of them. It’s mostly graphics tech that has advanced in the past 15-20 years. Core A-AAA game design has not largely changed.

My "childhood" consoles were the NES and Genesis and folks saying theirs were released in the 2000s makes me feel ancient!

There is something funny about ps3 -> generation of consoles. No one longs to them like previous consoles. I think the lack of change/advancement in the games and the continuous ports killed it. There are some unique games but not so much. SNES ->N64 was completely different world. Xbox consoles especially no one cares about I think because most of the library is on PC.
The only exception is the Wii. Wii-U not so much.

maybe I am old, but I just do not see much graphical jump. I know its there, but not enough to look at 360 as "previous generation" graphics .

Can I play this?

The lack of in-game translation is troubling…

Re: Random Thoughts Thread
Am I wrong to think the 3DO has better graphics than psx/N64? I feel like it had untapped potential

Re: Random Thoughts Thread
Yes. You are wrong.
Re: Random Thoughts Thread
At best the 3DO is an interesting curio with a handful of games that only die-hard retro gaming enthusiasts with a fondness for '90s nostalgia would get a kick out of.
Folks like me.
Also, pretty fucked that the 3DO was the only US-released home console to get a port of Alone in the Dark, though it's still more than AitD3 got.
