Yes, it was and is king because people actually use these and software actually supports them outside of an engineering lab.

Definitely not with the power of the Wii U.

Which is fine considering the top developer in the world owns that platform. If Nintendo survived the Gamecube, even after lackluster sales of the N64, the follow up to the Wii could sell just two million and they’d still come out ahead.

And they’d own the copyrights to the remix too.

The companies don’t sell the rights, they allow you to use what they own when you buy it.

There are a ton of points on the other side of this that really make all you’re saying here invalid.

If the game used art assets and settings taken directly off the movie, doesn’t matter what you’d call it.

Ridiculous. The art, music, and events in the game are copyrighted. Playing the game is interactive but that doesn’t mean distributing the video of that is YOUR doing at all. Considering this and your last post, I’m going to guess your childish view goes along with you actually being a child.

Nor Nintendo now. Which publisher meets your stringent rules for playable games? And COD is Activision. The day I bother to watch someone else play a game I could go buy and play on my own, I might feel for you a little.

Yes, EXACTLY like YouTube. You could compare this to interactive movies in the future, where you control the camera yourself.

Because you disagree this company has no sense? It seems very sensible to me, actually.

You can still watch someone’s play through of it, that hasn’t changed.

It’s a video of art, music, and design that plays back through a user controllable interface. Just because the video limits the interaction doesn’t necessarily mean it’s not copyrightable.

Black Sabbath mosh pits? Black Sabbath no more mainstream? I don’t know, Daft Punk is far more mainstream than Sabbath, and Sabbath hasn’t made an album in ages with the original lineup…I don’t even give a crap about Sabbath’s new album but it’s probably more newsworthy to say the least.

The responses that call RAM album of the year sum it up though, this site certainly isn’t big on music.

I’ll put it this way in terms of this next generation of consoles: you will get what you pay for. If the consoles are cheap, don’t expect the magical graphics jump that so many seem to think is coming.

Nintendo took a loss on their hardware for the first time. Sony plans to not take much of a loss for the first time. That makes the two points moot and we’re back to the PS4 costing more…if you think you’re getting a PS4 at $299 you’re crazy.

No, no it’s not possible, there are no “changing” variables. I mean, I can run Quake at 200 million pixels so when someone claims they can run a game pushing 11 million pixels with “NO PROBLEM” I have to wonder how they’re coming up with this imaginary feat. If he’s using multiple monitors, the card has multiple video pipelines and is not the same as running one monitor at even 4k.

The fact you think it’s possible really just reveals you haven’t even come close to trying it. I suggest you do a little more research out there so you can realize how ridiculous you sound.

Running multiple monitors does NOT count the same way….

High settings in which game? That’s a significant variable here… Also, what monitor do you have that has 11 million pixels.

I’m pushing far lower resolutions with a 690 in even StarCraft 2 and I see framerate drops at maximum settings so I’m very reluctant to believe your math let alone running with “no problem” at more than twice that.
