    I was just always mystified as to what kind of game has you shooting a giant gorilla in the crotch with bug spray? Is this someone's maladapted fantasy?

     

    It's really not that surprising when you realize the Japanese have an arcade game where the controls have you jamming a plastic finger into an artifical ass..

    I encounter so many unappreciative dopes in this world that I wonder what could have lead them to this point. An endless stream of service robots or slaves catering to their every need, making them new stunning new content immediately, on request?

     

    The one thing in common that all of the people I've dealt with that have this attitude possess, is a lack of talent and accomplishment. It seems it's a lot easier to criticize everything when you've done nothing and don't understand the amount of skill, effort and dedication involved in achieving something of true worth.

    I have no talent or accomplishments and an endless stream of service robots catering to my every need, making me stunning new content immediately, on request is exactly what I want. Since you appear to be one of the people who can create grand things of true worth, how about making those service robots? I won't understand the amount of skill, effort and dedication involved, but don't let that discourage you. I just want my robots and I want them right now, so get to work!

     

    Yes, I will now make an endless horde of robots with you in mind... but when they arrive... it will be quite clear they're not there to create content for you.

    My prediction is that it will work over the right connection but the latency will make it play like mush. Their claim of one millisecond is absolute BS. Impossible.

     

    You don't even know how it works, and you say it's impossible. Here's a shocker, they are running this game on a set of servers hundreds of miles away. And every reputable news source is saying it "surprised them" in how well it looked and worked.

     

     

    You're NOT trasmitting the exact video of the game to your tv. THAT WOULD BE IMPOSSIBLE. You're sending compressed video that then uncompresses when it reaches you. What I'm trying to say is, it's kinda like getting a 60 mb file in winzip so it's only 2 mb, but you open it and it's 60 mb again. Except it's doing that really really fast, over and over a lot of times. I hope that makes sense.

     

    Again, why are people so negative on the idea of this?

     

    If this didn't work to the point where it was playable, the company wouldn't show it now because it would have killed the public's vibe of the product and all that work would be for not.

     

    The article said the reporter SAW the game being played but did not actually play it, so no comment on latency.

     

    I'm saying that the basic transmission time from you the player to the server, and then the video signal coming back to you, to which you then react, will impact the "feel" of gameplay, seriously. Anyone who's dealt with video conferencing, even on the most modern system, will realize what we're talking about here. If they can make this feel the same as playing an actual console in the same room as you, I will be TRULY amazed. It's a great idea but I think it will be riddled with serious problems.

    In the late 90s, my friends and I actually went to the effort of setting up two PlayStations with the link cable and two TVs for multi-player Doom. I found it a bit under whelming as that Quake was already out and I had a good level editor for that (Oh, Mac Quiver and what could have been...)

    Now you can finally have your service to your platform or platforms during the terrible console wars of the late 80's/ 90's recognized with some of these wonderfully executed yet mystifying medals for 8, 16, and 32-bit vets.

    You can check out the whole series of bizarre medals HERE

     

    BTW- Where the hell is the medal for the Atari Jaguar battles? Some of us held out long past any point of reason.
