Gargaj-stylee thread resurrection for teh win!
I > Gargaj :P
And as for homebrew, there's the fully legal XNA, but you have to pay a subscription and code in C#. http://creators.xna.com/ , have only tried the free PC version so far. Not bad, really.
Or there's the hypervisor exploit, but that's been patched now.

gamings not bad.I gave up buying consoles. it's s a cycle 3-4 years later you have a machine, controllers games which cost a fair bit, then your expected to buy the latest thing. Back in the day a game was £1.99 up to £15, now its what £40-50? crrrrrazy
my latest pc cost less than an 360 / ps3 and can do far more (x2 amd)
although people are doing homebrew things, companies are well tight with their licenses/dev kits. I'd like to see more games by sceners like older days. Some of the demo effects and styling just give games that extra production value a lot of the time.
the thing that grates me is, all these console games are released way ahead of pc version and their dev'd using pc.. grrr..

cycle 3-4
The PS2 is 7 years old and still going strong, at least outselling the PS3.

What has that got to do with anything?
I sold mine ~4 days ago...
I'm going to leave Israel soon.

I heard a lot of recent oldschool demos are dev'd on pc, then we wait years for a pc version and it gets cancelled.
tribão : ps2.. hhmm a friend has all the consoles from nes etc to current day, he uses his ps2 as a glorfied dvd player, says its the least favourite of his purchases, same with me (saw his, never bought one). out of that and the xbox, prefered the xbox and even the dreamcast he rates higher, thats down to personal preference though.
as for the timescale of releases. I'll give you a few examples, G.T.A and C.O.D released LONG before on consoles before pc, so if you were a fan of either game and really wanna play em they want you to fork out for a console etc.
I'd like to see COD 3 on the pc, but it's console only. It has a lot to do with it being dev'd using a pc, in the sense of i'm assuming their using C/c++ or another port-able language to make the games, to make them easy to dev/speed up the process. So how can they justify such a big gap in timescale? simple, companies want to force people to buy a console.

old64scener: it's a 5 years cycle for the consoles, not 3-4 :)
Moreover, the cycle for games is even longer. PS2 games still being made and released in 2007, 7 years after the console launch.

keops : well them dev kits do cost a lot, guess they wanna get their money back hehe.
Time seems to have flown since I bought a snes etc, I don't know the cycle exactly, old age and all that. When I ask if they have any new games out in the shop for c64 i do get odd looks ;-)

old64scener: it's not only the cost of the devkits.
Mastering the development on a given console takes time. Once you have spent one or 2 years building a fully functional and efficient pipeline, having people acustomed working with it, you don't want to give it up so easily :)

This is doubly true if Sony is The Man.
