GSC is a licensed 360 developer. So we may see STALKER on at least one console, maybe more.

and of course, the best system game ever, Golden Eye for the N64, NOTHING beats that game. I wish I had an N64 just for that game!!

I have my old N64 I play Goldeneye all the time:rotfl::rotfl:.

My wife and I played Zelda on the N64 more than our son did.:rotfl::rotfl:

You mean like this? People have even managed a windows XP shell using an emulator through Linux.

The PS3's hardware/original OS coding was specifically optimised by design for Linux.

However, I do agree that SH3/4 is a pipe dream on the PS3. As I previously stated the system RAM is insufficient to run the game, while there is 512mb available, SH3/4 will not be able to call on/utilise one lot of 256mb, however the Cell & RSX is more than enough to run the game.

@ SUBMAN1 - I know you dislike all things Sony but backoff about the PS3. I'm the Ying to your Yang! LMAO.

Dude, awesome Otacon clock :rotfl:

Despite what these people say, PC gaming is not dying, and it will NEVER die so long as we have humans on planet Earth.

The fact is, PC games are much more customizable than console games, something which they (consoles) have and always will suffer for. Not only this, but the PC genre has always been there. I don't see it just dramatically declining and dying in a matter of years. In fact, consoles are becoming more and more like computers themselves.

To top this entire post up, consoles require much more money than PC's. By that, I mean that you only need one PC, save for the occasional upgrade to a better graphics card. At most over a period of 5 years, you might spend a total of $1,000 (that's the computer itself, graphics cards, RAM upgrades, etc.). With consoles, you have a new one every 3-4 years, which on average cost about $400 bucks for every new one you buy (if you want to keep up with the times, that is). We've seen it before: the PS1, PS2, PS3, Xbox, Xbox 360, Nintendo Game Cube, Nintendo Wii.

Bah!

In my mind, PC gaming is never going to die. But I still play my PSP, GBASP, PS2/PS1. If everyone else starts gaming with those consoles, at least we'll be the ones left.
