It's sad to see these old names disappear forever. Though I'm sure it's merely a shell of it's former self anyway, Dev's like Bullfrog and Psygnosis had their fans on PC and Amiga like you had your Sega and Nintendo fans back in the day.

Read this on eurogamer, very depressing start to the morning. Sony turned them from one of the best studios in the world into a tech/wipeout studio... And now, not even any more wipeout

PS4 is going to be the first Sony console without a wipeout game. Perhaps the first Sony console I pass on?
yo listen up here's a story
about a little guy that lives in a blue world
and all day and all night and everything he sees
is just blue like him inside and outside
blue his house with a blue little window
and a blue corvette
and everything is blue for him and hisself
and everybody around
cos he ain't got nobody to listen to

i'm blue da ba dee da ba die...

I think the next gen is going to be a hard sell for many reasons, and alot of it comes down the devs like Psygnosis who had their own character about them and weren't afraid to try things getting gobbled up and drowned out. This push for guaranteed big sellers has sterilised the market, and when you think of the studios that we had pushing the big sell of this gen and their current state, it ain't all that flash. Rare, as a horrid example.

Throw that on top of the hardware issues we've all copped...

I'm cant get excited about the next gen, truth be told. Console gaming is getting more and more homogenized, everything's getting released on PC anyway, and there won't even be the usual period where consoles outstrip PC power wise when first released (looks like my current PC already out specs the likely specs of the next xbox and ps4). I'm more likely to spend the money upgrading my PC, and at least I know it's backwards compatible....

I don't think I can get back into PC gaming. Only for the odd Civ or SOASE. That's mostly because there's not really been anything PC specific that interests me. I'm not interested in letting an MMO swallow up my life, and the shooters have been better on console. Hopefully they finally unveil these things with features to get excited about.
