In a world where every game needs several patches to work right, i dont know if piracy can really be a thing

Indeed, and this gives developers another excuse for that essential day 1 patch :/

On the flipside, maybe this gives Sony an incentive to ship out new consoles with the latest firmware (past hack) already installed (I have no clue if they do that already), saving new owners time when setting up the console.

oh noes Sony is the doomest of doomed.

Just means in 2016-2017 there might be pirated software.
Doubt it ll effect much of anything.  Some say stuff like this can actually boost sales (atleast hardware wise).

It won't affect sales that much. By 2017, PS4 will be at 60-70m units sold, by then there will be enough legitimate consumers and people with PS+ that games will sell well despite the pirates. PS2 piracy didn't hurt software sales that much, and if anything, it helped hardware numbers.

This kind of sucks that the pirates are looking every possible ways to hurt the devs/studios on the software.

You can download trophies :O!?

 

Basically, yes. Only on the PS3 though.


You could do it on vita too , don't know if it work anymore.

No wonder some ppl jump from 15 platinum too 500.

 

Oh god. You just ruined Christmas. I was under the impression that it was still impossible to hack trophies on the Vita. Nope. You are correct. Not only that, but after 2 minutes, I can verify that you most definitely still can do it. Sucks that the PSN trophy ecosystem is more polluted than I thought it was. Policing trophies/achievements: This is something MS is waaaaay better at than Sony. Infinitley better in fact, because Sony does literally nothing about it. MS will ban your ass if you cheat, which is awesome.

With exchange rate of 4:1 the 280 is close enough to USA PSN when you pay the taxes... it would be easier for an American to buy their games here for the releases that are 150-200 that would cost 40-50 US.

Damn, I knew I was forgetting something. Damned exchange rates...

Well, this is a currency problem, so I guess that's one that can't be fixed...

So Piracy is a plus for PS4 but bad for PC??.

And i already am playing starcraft 2 on my windows 10 pc . But if you think that to be true that just cos the PS4 is X86 it could easy emulate windows your wrong it doesnt work like that. The Original Xbox couldnt even emulate windows 98 but yet it had the specs to run it..

I think this will further grow console gaming in the world and just imagine what you could install for homebrew software on PS4 with x86 architecture? You could easily emulate windows and play Starcraft 2 on your PS4 :) opinions?

 

Is this part of the source or did the OP just decided to add this?

 

If the OP decided to add this....I dont think OP knows what he is talking about o.o.

here you go

its possible because its x86

Its amazing the double standards of some users on here.
They enter PC threads and use Piracy as an argument against it but then when it comes to the PS4 and Sony its ok...

its kinda okay because there is no competion in a console ecosystem, look at PT whith this modding you can play it again on your PS4. And if Sony keep fucking up making bad anti consumer decision like with the PS2 classics to rebuying them then yes a lot of people would go for such methods.

And I specificley meant none first world countries by the way. 





Why i left PC gaming

Nice! But will you be able to run Windows 7, 8 or 10 on current gen consoles though? Otherwise its kinda pointless...

 

yes its 8gb, 8 core, and a good graphicscard

Uhh, ya I dont think you understand the basics of how a modern OS work l0l.

Those specs alone dont enable the PS4 the ability to emulate Windows 10 considering the fact that the PS3 and Xbox360 both had enough specs to be able to run Windows 10 by going with your response I mean.

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/windows-10-specifications#sysreqs

I can understand the Xbox One having the capability of emulating Windows considering it has the Windows 8 kernel and Windows 10 files in its core system but the PS4 I cant see it happening but if you can show me a video of someone actually booting up Windows 7, 8 or 10 on a PS4 - that would be interesting.

The XONE already runs Windows 10. The NXE is more like the big picture mode on Steam. As for the PS4, they'd need drivers for the chipset...

"Of course, this could unfortunately also open the gates for piracy. As responsible gamers, we at Gearnuke condemn and discourage such activities."

So we condemn it but also let you know about it in the first place.

I think in terms of the industry and making money, piracy is horrible for all involved. It's singled out more on PC since it's so incredibly easy to do and extremely prevalent.

It's good (in a scummy way I suppose) for end users though as they get to play things they didn't pay for. There are non-scummy reasons for homebrew though, piracy is just the most common motivator.
