I don't play games on PC all that often but I played a little VanQuish today and man I forgot how fucking good the Xbox One controller is. It is legit the modern controller I have ever used. Pro controller is amazing but MS is the best at console controllers.

That was at the end of ALL 90s gaming magazines. In fact, I read one with one of those today but it had Dreamcast and a PC. It was a scam. No one ever won it




They paid for the ad space. You paid your money to them to enter. No one won. In fact on the one, I am posting. They mention a computer but not by name. It's clearly a Compaq Presario from 1999. In mine they are showing you will win a Gamecube! This issue is from September 2000. PS2 launch. Gamecube was a year away and I am pretty sure that is a promo image Nintendo used for GCN and it's not the final system, Controller gives it away. Also a Sony promo image for PS4. Not theirs lol. Publishers clearing house of gaming magazines. They ran it for over a decade. Every month in multiple magazines. Who can afford that? :P


I do want to know who was the person who only sent $3? lol

I've been thinking, and shoot me down here because I know it's a bit daft... Since the rumours of the PS5 being backwards compatible with all of Sony's PS games came about I wonder how successful a machine from Sega would be that played ALL their stuff via FPGA chips? I'm sure it's technically feasible, but how realistic do you think it is in terms of marketability?

I'm wondering this because I reckon that, as Sony are seemingly aiming consoles at people in my age bracket with a fairly hefty collection of their games, that want to still play them, my demographic must be pretty big? After all, I cross over with the Sega days of gaming market too, and I'd wager that's a fairly big crossover with enough people to sell a Sega box to?

I know that stacking emulation system is in the works (or was somewhere) but it's a bit of a small endeavour, and if the PS5 rumours are true, it makes me feel that the market for a Sega machine along the same lines could be there. Imagine if new games got released on it too!

Pretty sure PS5 Won't be native BC and that includes PS4. It will be through emulation like Xbox. So you still have to wait for them to announce new games to be BC as they update them. I believe native BC is dead. Sony's emulation has been spotty with PS1 and PS2 ports on PS3 and PS4. Not to mention PS1 Classic. It would be very expensive to manufacture old design chips I believe. It's not realistic at all IMO. The NES classic that only plays NES games. Nintendo went for the cheapest hardware they could find and it has as much ram as a PS3 and more powerful than the Wii and 3DS.

PS5 being backwards compatible with all of Sony's PS games!

Whelp, now you’ve done it. Now I fully expect four generations of impeccable backwards-compatibility. Seems easy enough. Come on, Sony: spend the extra $.42 per console and put it in there. Do it for the 10% of your install base who actually kept all those games instead of trading them in to GameStop after three weeks.

Yakuza coming to Xbox One next year! Glad to see more people get to experience this brilliant series!

I did say shoot me down I suppose!

If I recall there was a whole story about this and it turned out to be nothing more then a scam. Many people entered and nobody ever won.

I thought we were putting politics in its own thread!
