The next generation of video games
Ozymandias:
I'm pretty sure that Prometheus thing is a hoax, BTW.
I didn't hear about it at all during E3 and I was glued to my monitor the whole time.

Still have to disagree with you there. We're not just talking about technology-wise. I can't think of any gameplay concept that's been devised on a console. Except maybe pong. And pong sucked cock anyway. RPGs, FPSs, Sports games, driving games, flight simulators, side-scroll action games, 3rd person action games, RTS games, turn-based strategy games (although I guess those technically originated from board games), solo play, multiplayer, co-op, capture the flag, etc, etc, etc.
I stand firmly behind my statement earlier that consoles are just trimmed-down, mass-marketted, gaming only PCs.

Actually gaming was first seen when Thad beat Grok in a fight just for the hell of it.

--- Quote from: James ---Man, this thread is rife with people straight up inventing facts. When you are deciding that a gaming genre was first seen on Personal Computer, it would be helpful if you could name which specific game you're talking about. That way people can name an earlier, console-only example and point triumphantly.
