    i would agree but first isn't best or right look how slow and buggy unit was and well to be honest in some places still is and its total lack of features that did not come until later. and this whole we need a mobile os is a huge wast of time a resources these should be sepret projects not shoved down the desktop users throats.

    true at launch the psp had the same problem but it had a massive library of good games by the time it ended granted that took like the first 5 years of its life to get there. also sandisk closed thpse overproce cards and made cheap ones the price on pro duo went from insane to nearly overnight. as for the new models there was a reason for this. psp 1001 model original fat model with ir quit bulky and heavy and power hungry.it was also known for the umd door spring to fail. psp 2000 slimmer lighter ir removed it was unused anyways umd door no longer spring loaded. and used less power allowing for a smaller battery. ram was also expanded for faster load times. psp 2001 same as a 2000 but with a new motherboard to fix the Pandora battery hack. psp 3000 same as a 2001 but with a built in microphone for voice chat. psp go umd drive removed memory card format changed and went for a phone style slide desine for smaller form factor sonys attempt at a online dlc only system it was a complete fail and sat on shelves. the 3000 was also still being made and sold as i said it was a experiment. but it did not matter what psp you got other then the go all the games would play fine in all of them.

    all of unitys feature are in another window manager in some form. branching from wayland made less sense then when they branched from gnome witch btw has been dumped in faver of qt5. the reasion for this crap is ubuntu is so despret to get on the aruldy massively flooded and dominated mobile device market.they didn't wanna wait on wayland and rather then help the project they made there own. and ill never agree with these dammed touch friendly uis on non touch hardware. even the folks at kde keep the desktop and touch ui separated.

    just like with early psp they have been hacking the via right along but then sony patches it. it was not until hardware flaws and of course the keys where found did permanent easy psp hacks come along. i know lots of people who still have there originals due to the better game library and no other reason. original psp where lets face the handhelds for grownups and of course hackers thats was small to start with and now is being beaten out my tablets and phones.lets not forget the massive overpricing of the memory cards.

    it dos not bother me all that much. what will happen is people will shift away from ubuntu hell most have aruldy to non stock variants just to avoid unity. as all the support moves over to wayland ubuntu will be forced to use wayland as nobody makes apps or support mir. there just trying the same tactics they pulled with unity despite hot badly that has failed.

    we will probably just see people move away from ubuntu its aruldy happening with the likes of mint etc yes Ubuntu based but the main things are not unity lol. i whont be surprised we see not mir remixes.

  13. Re:What do you expect? on Mechwarrior Online Developer Redefines Community Warfare · · Score: 1

    only because they sank tons of money in 3d realms for them to sit on there asses and play wow. the only reason the game shipped was they where bought to sue the crap out of 3d realms for breach of contract. they knew the game was incomplete garbage but they also had to make some of there money back. so don't blame them for 3d realms scamming.

  14. Re: I don't get the perspective issue. on Mechwarrior Online Developer Redefines Community Warfare · · Score: 1

    because it was not supposed to ever be put in the game. it has to do with gameplay the fps view had its limits like not seeing behind you etc without turning the mech. so you had buddy's watch your six. scouts also would need to be sent to check in hiding places like behind a rock. now all you do is swing the camera around essentially braking the core game play they promised to deliver. i don't think it would have gotten as much hate if they would have added the promised hardcore mode that disabled 3pv but they did not yet.

    3ds is the same ds hardware just beefed up for the 3d effect but it also did lead to higher quality games when most devs took advantage of the better hardware and not the cheesy 3d effect. clamshell failure is a problem with the ds and young kids i have seen them scratched to all hell and the hinges either beat to crap or totally broken not so much as adult who does not throw his system around and abuse it. so i can see this resigned ds for the small kids making sense. some ds games do in fact get direct android ports btw the ff games and assens creed where all just the ds versions ported. and as you said most people dont care abought or use the 3d effect and they say its bad for young kids anyways so removing it made sense and being a non clamshell i could imagion trying to finding the sweet spot anyways on a screen you cant angle.
