I'll buy Fallout 3 and play it only when I have a computer with enough specs... don't wanna ruin the experience.

But I also have no problems with digital distribution. Love Steam.

For those who think announcing a game, or saying about the stuff you're working on before having concrete stuff won't affect the market... the global economy is going down the sewers because of stuff like that.

There are advantages and disadvantages of making early announcements. It's risky, and can even bring a whole company down in case something goes wrong along the process.

Developers can usually work better without people asking them 24/7 about the game itself.

And then, comes the fanboys issue. Those idiots who think they can tell how the creators should do their jobs when they don't know jackshit about it.

On the other side, there's hype, publicity, and some other stuff.

So, yep, it has to be the developers decision, and an important decision at that.

From what we've been following, Diablo 3 for instance, could end up being a completely different game had Blizz annouce it earlier.

But I'm not a WoW player, so I'll pass.

My eyes are set on that Microsoft Sidewinder mouse...

Problem this time was that the background was too bright...

But whatever. I wish I was there...

But doesn't matter to me. Because the gameplay still looks awesome!

If somehow the protection fails, the owner can have his money back.

They will also never say how much piracy has contributed to make some stuff popular.

Like games... the most lucrative entertainment industry nowadays.

People have to ask themselves stuff like: Where would Playstation 2 be without piracy?

Why consoles that were "pirate-proof" (or almost) ended up failing?

If the music, movie and gaming industry are having such big losses every year, why the heck they continue to grow so much and didn't collapse from those losses already?

You know, there's a limit to all those lies, a limit to how people are willing to believe all this crap.

The most sucessful business nowadays are the ones who learned to accept that piracy is here for a reason.

So artists, labels and companies who chose to adapt their business models to newer types of distribution, with FAIR prices and none of the "piracy is bad and only bad" bs are the ones who are having the most success right now.

Shure some people loose jobs over this, but lots more have jobs because of it, no matter how wrong selling pirated stuff may sound.

For every one guy that is not working in some "official" business, I probably can count hundreds of people making a living, yes, selling bootleg CDs and DVDs. I know this is bad for the company that holds the copyright to the product, but it is the truth that anti-piracy "Coalitions" will never tell the public.

You know, I don't like the fact that some people are ripping off other's idea... and I know that some small business may even close down due to piracy.

But I can't close my eyes to the good effects of piracy too. I know several industries gained A LOT because of piracy, I know piracy helped several products to reach FAIR prices because for a long time they had profits up to 2000% the production cost (Music CDs), and I know many poor people who would never get jobs in "official" industry are able to buy money for their kids in the end of the month because they found a job on the piracy market.

If those groups opened their eye for the harsh truth: That piracy will NEVER end, and started working on other ways to make the original products more attractive and worth buying instead of the pirated version, they'd be loosing far less money by now.

As for Woody Alen, dunno if it's just me, but he looks even older after the shop.

This is exactly what all beauty paranoids needed to kill themselves... a software that shows how more beautiful you could but will never be.

Anyways, this is exactly why now I want so much more to get at TGS rather than any other gaming event out there.... the event quality. And the girls too.

A nice, orquestral music would've done better to those scenes.

But that's just me.

I mean, if you were able to take one there, since it's kinda big, heavy and clunky.

Oh wait, I just remembered this is Tokyo Game Show.

And I'm not talking only about the people who will actually get to play it.

Cheap touchscreen sounds very nice, but could also be completely useless..
