They sure did have some interesting hairdos back then.

@Kenny, Is that multiplayer? I preordered GTA but I'm having it shipped here to Japan. Hopefully it will arrive by next week. But from what I have seen and heard it looks like infinite fun.

Yep. GTA Online is coming out Oct. 1, which is the reason why I bought it really. Hopefully will be done with the story by then.

While we're talking GTAV, I cannot wait for it to make it's way to PC. It looks insane. I wish they would have released it on all platforms the same day like they did with Max Payne 3.

PC version will fix all the shitty aliasing and texture pop up issues it has too, I'm enjoying it on PS3 but the draw distance, aliasing and texture pop ins really sometimes make it feel like it's running on a machine that barely meets minimum specs

What's wrong with his arm?

Wired article on TGS 2013:

GREE is Japan's largest mobile gaming publisher and for the second straight year, their booth has stood tall in the central hall of Makuhari Messe, looming over all other booths save for Sony's. That's an awful lot of trade show real estate dedicated to free-to-play mobile phone games. Once the crowds show up on the public days, can you imagine waiting in line to see the latest tap-the-fish game?

And then there are the parts of the Makuhari Messe, which a few years ago would always be packed to the gills, that are now a ghost town. Major Japanese publishers Level-5 (the Professor Layton series) and Konami (Metal Gear, Castlevania) have no booths at all this year.

Tecmo Koei, publisher of the lucrative Dynasty Warriors franchise, had zero games in its booth. Instead, it put up a gallery commemorating the 30th anniversary of one of its earliest hits: Nobunaga's Ambition, a historical strategy game.

A pity that TGS is a shadow of its former self...(only notable thing from it this year was Gravity Rush 2).

Damn so its that obvious when it happens? My brother has been playing it and said it bugs him going through the city at break neck speed and stuff just starts popping in sometimes, I thought he was joking. Yeah I would have normally grabbed it on PS3 to hold me over, but after the major differences between the versions of MP3 I decided to wait. I picked it up on PS3 release day because I was rebuilding at the time. Once I got it on PC it was like night and day. Totally restored my faith in Rockstars ability to port to PC.

it can be pretty obvious, especially driving around down town when textures keep on changing from blurry to high res as you close in and lights appear out of no where.

it's still fully playable but the flaws are highly noticeable at times

At least for games that meant something to me (mostly rpg) - i always hated to play them through ... which caused for some games to be only possessed and never played, or never finished or just being played for some hours at best.

Somehow knowing you have that "awesome illusion" in stash and you can dive in anytime and have good time, makes me probably do it sometimes. Since afterwards, there is somehow a slight uneasy feeling of emptiness.

Back in the day, nowadays even more games are piling up even more - this might one reason:

Do all the PS3s play PS1 discs? or did they take that feature out of one of the later models?

Does it do that? I don't really pay attention to stuff like that unless it's like really terrible.

Yeah, they all play PS1. They just took out the ability to play PS2 games later on.

I've come to the conclusion that alot of top tier Tekken players are just a bunch of cunts with overinflated egos.

If they beat you, they laugh. If you beat them, they throw a temper tantrum and kick you out of the room. Really, it's hard to find people who just want to play the damn game as a past time and not a full time job.
