Kojima: Console will be dead “in the near future”

So where is the hacked PS3 that ruins sony, cause noone has made any software to run on it. No one has stolen any software, so all you have is sony selling consoles and people buying games, no loss for sony.

Crysis is impressive, as if Project Offset, but again these are games that are possible on consoles, graphically they (the consoles) may not be there yet, but neither at 95% of PCs. Crysis 2 is to be on console too right?

The images might be nice on PCs, but it is not the only thing in the world is it? Plus that Project Offset didn’t look any more impressive than God of War 3.

Well if you want my honest opinion I don’t want to see consoles/PCs go away. I know it may be a pain to keep up with exclusives and what version of a game to buy for which console but I like owning multiple machines.

The 360 has custom soundtrack option built right in the OS. The PS3 has easy upgradable hard drives. The PC has the best graphics. The N64 and Gamecube had 4 controller ports.

I just like having all the unique differences. To some it can be a pain keeping up but I love it. I would also love to have a machine that could do all in 1 and the PS3 comes the closest which is why its my prefered system but that doesn’t mean I don’t like having a 360 or other machine.

I don’t want cloud gaming and I hate the idea of it so much, but as long as its just an option and not a full blown only choice I’m satisfied.

your so cocky then go tell microsoft and sony to release their new consoles now!

lets see how confident they are in the console business

what a joke ahahahahhahahahahahhahaha

lets see how meny publisher, game devs go bankuprt this time around……lets see them billions burn. lol

what a joke.

depends pretty much on how you define ´near future´if we´re talking 10+ years i agree. cloud gaming ain´t ready yet. this will take a while. but the idea of playing content on several devices is pretty much my gaming wet dream. but again…this will take some long long years i believe…

@polygem

there is not just cloud gaming there is web base gaming that can now run console graphics.

lets not for get the new tech pc gaming has like laptops and and the new ipad.

by the way nothing beats high pc gaming nothing on the market not even cloud base gaming.

the bankuprt console game devs were mostly bought out and phased out, and the people there were brought into the big pubs.

How many games are started for PCs that never get off the ground? Anyone? We’ll never know really cause all these mom and pop shops you mention don’t cut it when it comes to forking over cold hard cash, which is what console users do every week.

“do you even know what cloud gaming is….it’s a super computer.” No shit really? maybe its even a stack of 100 PS3? Of course its a central computer, but that doesn’t mean its a PC, can you go and mod it to your liking? nope. Does it run windows? maybe maybe not, it could run linux for all you know. Does it matter, no, because it is a closed service which is not any different than consoles.

“an open system is trash just like the ice queen is trash” What are you talking about? You keep talking about modding systems etc, upgrading graphics etc…. but consoles sell millions every gen, increasing each gen and people keep buying games all the time.

what a joke.” I don’t know what you are talking about, AGAIN. They next gen is not ready, i didn’t say it was, and there is no need to upgrade as the one we have still has life in it and can still provide great experiences. Where did I suggest otherwise?

@Mad-elph

last time i checked I have alot more pc games than your consoles.

http://adrianwerner.wordpress.com/games-of-2010/

if i really want to pay console games I can run emulators and yes I can play ps3 games with emulaters.

go kiss the future of console gaming good by.

so how are them 11 000 console game devs gone bankuprt because of them consoles.

you pc gaming has preduce made companies like crytek and cdproject

I am not even counting the web based games and mmos.

It sounds like you are beginning to back into a corner in 55. Be careful.

Techs need time to evolve. that is why consoles don’t have the best graphics, but it is also why browser based games are as good as console graphics. Bandwidth is one major thing.

Next gen consoles will be as good as the current PCs (a 2 year delay of top end lets say) But does everyone care for top end? NO THEY DO NOT, hence you buy a console which costs (now) $300 and you get 8 years out of it. Can you buy a PC, laptop or desktop for $300 that can run Crysis? No you can’t

“I can play ps3 games with emulaters”

lol. Proof that BDH just makes shit up as he goes along.

Did you pay for them all? Can you post receipts on your blog? Link me this emulator please.,, or better hit me with a vid of you playing this emulator.

sony is such a dumb company not only have they lost billions on the ps3. super computer buyers buy the a ton of ps3′s and use it as a super computer. So sony is not only losing on the ps3 they are now losing money on the super computer market too.

what a joke………I guess share holders have money to burn. Just like a ton of game devs with high production costs.

@Mad-elph

go to bio-ware look up dremhunk and take a good look at my games they are all CE of pc games.

if I was going to pirate any software i would for something worth my time like maya program or something. something that is not available to average person or does not have a market. like and old pc games or programs that you can’t find for sale. lol

Did a google search, no proof just lies of vids showing it running. Plus you have to buy the PS3 game as the system has not be cracked Oh you bought it, so Sony and the Dev got paid? They didn’t lose any money on consoles, how (IF THIS WAS REALLY TRUE) does this hurt Sony or consoles, just a larger market to sell games.

bdh, if you could play this gen games with an emulator I wouldn’t own a console at all, I ‘m serious. it wasn’t until 2 years ago that PCSX2 was able to run all PS2 titles.

@Mad-elph

guys like me don’t need to lie and guys like me always have proof so no man can call me lair……the only thing they can say your sources are wrong.

console noob talking to real pc gamers, this what they would tell you

If it is for enjoyment of players, there should be one console. People are disappointed when a game they want to play is for one other console (the under-used one) if they own another at all. So they either pay out to support the game, by buying a whole new machine as well, or don’t play the game they’d enjoy.

It’s true that the makers don’t care either way because they’ll sell that extra machine, but I’d prefer gamers to all enjoy and support playing games (with no reference needing to be taken in to mind, of how the game is played.)
The way that things have progressed in to this gen, is precisely the reason why there should be one cons…Machine, sorry! that allows ALL games (aside from PC) to be played.

People then just buy and play the games they want. With one machine, it’s an all-new challenge for games to stand out! If Nintendo wants to make its own device, then it can go and explore that (because it has proven success in its own endeavors), but the HD platform should accept all HD games, because without that, and a lack of BASE disctinction, it’s gamers that get the rawest deal, no matter their “platform of choice”!

It is well known that money makes people independent. But what to do if someone has no cash? The one way is to receive the mortgage loans and college loan.

The future he’s talking about doesn’t include a gaming PC either.

It’s a platform agnostic future in wich you simply acces your games on what ever device you happen to have handy at the time.
Much like the internet is accasable on pretty much anything these days, from your TV to your phone to your computer.

Freek

that could only done by guess what a pc a computer!!!

blackdreamhunk… you are an idiot.PC gaming has been reduced to a niche biz. WHo the fuck wants to keep upgrading video cards and Winblows? Nerds like you. Buddy, hey the 90′s are so over! 3DFX is dead!!!

It’s already being predicted that devices like the iPad will replace traditional desktop PC’s in millions of homes in the not so distant future. And that will reduce PC gaming to an even smaller niche market. Imagine an future six-core/custom GPU iPad that features Wireless HDMI…

As the years go by brute force GPU’s which power your Crysis et al’ will also go the way of the dodo as Open Computing Language, CUDA, enabled devices become the big money makers for ATI/NVIDIA. These devices will have massive computational power and will be capable of amazing graphics.

No, not specificly. It’s done by your phone, your netbook, what ever entertainment box sits under the TV and also a computer.

But what he’s talking about is that no one platform defines gaming, that it’s merely something you can acces where ever you are.
And if you can do that for games you can do that for other software aswell. Meaning that what we know as a PC or a console no longer exists.
To be replaced by services rather then dedicated hardware platforms.

mortiferus do you mmo’s a niche product?

high end pc gaming is worth 9 billion alone, do you really think hardware companies are going to let console steam roll high pc gaming your joking.

hardware companies take pc gaming very seriously or they would never had made the pc gaming alliance. companies like onlive take pc gaming very seriously or they would never made onlive.

a lot of big companies would not eat you small companies alive if pc gaming was niche product……I am osrry but your gaming media can’t lie for you this time.

@Freek

pc gaming became a service a long time ago, it’s that some of you publishers and game devs are late to come to that realization.

you only need to look at companies such blizzard,bio-ware,arena net and iron clade games to see that.

The mistake you are making is still seeing his comments as “pc gaming” that is not what he is saying at all.
The device no longer matters, PC, consoles, it’s all meaningless. There are no more platforms in Kojima’s future. And that has not happend yet at all. Steam, WoW, they still require a dedicated hardware platform to run and a game you buy only works on that platform.

You like to filter everything through your own reality of console vs PC. The rest of the world does not work like that, it is all in your head.

at the end of the day

When will PC gaming completely eradicate console gaming? As in, no one will play on anything other than PCs.

I don’t think it will, because, like it or not, consoles are the reason gaming is as popular as it is today.

@Galactic_Barret

oh plase popular on consoe please what a joke.

pc gaming made fps

pc gaming made consoles

pc gaming rts

pc gaming tbs

pc gaming is the heart beat of gaming

it’s more like the gaming media trys to lie about pc gaming

I mean you hear pc gaming is dying every year from the gaming media.

Microsoft and Sony trys it because to destroy pc gaming.

all the income for consoles is coming from the Nintendo wii what a joke.

It take all 3 console platforms just to take on pc gaming platform. that is how big and powerful pc gaming is.

BDH would shut up if you guys had the basic common sense to ignore him.

@Michael O’Connor s

what you can’t handle the truth……cry me a river!

I think it was a blanket statement everyone will be dead in the near future with all these shitty 3rd world countries with nukes

@ BDH I think I’m actually a little dumber for tryin to read your posts. I don’t know anyone including myself who’s plays anything on the pc other than casual games. just because you were the first to innovate a technology doesn’t mean you can do it the best
