has GameStop’s already plummeting stock cratered yet since a large number of consoles going forward won’t have physical drives?

BD XL discs can hold like 100 GB and you can bet your rear end games will be that big if launch titles on the xbone were 35GB

if anything i see physical games selling better this generation than last, especially once people's expensive SSDs fill up

i could be crazy, but while i hate gamestop, i hate the move to all-digital even more

if you have over 500Mb/s internet you could download a game before you could copy a blu-ray to sdd, and playing off the ssd is mandatory it seems

we monitor many frequencies. we listen always. came a voice, out of the babel of tongues, speaking to us. it played us a mighty dub.
did you not see the pages of 2 fast 2 furious wanking over the new paradigm of loading games of an ssd meaning they can completely redesign the games? how would they do that, then stream them off a bluray?

usb3 external disks will probs be supported and those come in ssd flavour too so nah, I’m getting the all digital one. hate messing with the disks and tbh I never resell my games anyway

i didn’t watch the thing but is there a point to the “all digital” one known at this point

i run my ps4 as all digital anyway but i just don’t get why there’s two skus unless there’s more of a difference between them than that

I dunno, i thought maybe it would have some temp cache on the ssd or something. i still don't like the idea of all-digital. i currently still play games i bought 30 years ago. i'm pretty sure that will be impossible in the future which kinda sucks

it's probably so they can make the all digital version like $50-100 cheaper. apparently blu-ray drives are one of the most expensive components of a system

i want a cheap thing I can hook up to my tv that only gets ps now so my kids can play the lego games. Or at least stream from the ps4pro over lan.

calls of duty are a particularly bad example, but a lot of other stuff goes on sale a dozen times a year on psn. it’s never aggrieved me too much since i don’t do multiplayer shootsmans anyway

if the major difference is price then i’d consider it. haven’t put a single disc in the ps4 since i got it 4.5 years ago and probably never will

if i buy a console in the next gen i think i'll make it an xbox purely to spite yospos. presumably they'll once again be almost identical and both get ports of anything i'm likely to care about.

are epic games exclusive or not. they're such a powerful force in engine advancement, it would make sense I suppose if the consoles and the engines worked together. this poo poo looks like it'll create a space for AAA games with engaying gameplay and beyond parallel graphics

yeah, i'm sure that epic, a company so desperate to avoid giving platform owners a cut that they resorted to sideloading android fortnite and making their own, lovely steam knock-off that would have 0 users had they not driven dumptrucks of money to developers for exclusivity, is going to lock themselves into another company's ecosystem

the only people who want console exclusive titles are the consoles makers because exclusive titles are really the only way for them to differentiate their subpar computers from the others

game publishers on the contrary want to make cross platform titles to ensure that whichever platform wins they are on it, bc they couldn't care less about console wars

this is why ubisoft for instance is eager to get on to every platform, even those that turns out to be duds like the Wii u or stadia, they just want to make sure that whatever platform turns out to be relevant their games are on it

maybe so, but i'll play the original if it comes to that, very few games genuinely gain much from getting a remake.
