    Sony has stated that the access time will be close to zero, as if you are playing on a cartridge.

    LMAO

      That bold faced lie stood out to me, as well!

      Honestly, it was arguably blazing fast, for what was accomplished.

      I know because I had a lot of time to meditate on how fast it was while I waited at loading screens.

      Ah, babbages, and Software Ect. I remember when video game stores had more competition than just Walmart/Target/Gamestop.

      Honestly with how bad Gamestop is doing, it wouldn’t surprise me to see Walmart buy gamestop, and remodel the inside of their stores. So it’s like a store within a store. Kind of like how Walmart has Subway, and Target has Starbucks.

      Except Walmart would also OWN the store within a store.

      And they could move the freestanding gamestops to always be near Target. I mean I guess you could place them near Best Buy…but thats kind of like kicking an elderly woman with a walker. That is to say, no need to do anything. They’ll die soon enough.

      Uhhhh…Best Buy I mean.

    Nintendo’s Project Reality

    For those wondering, like I was, this was an early hype-laden codename for what would become the N64.

      And, then there’s me, who knew that. Also Gamecube was Dolphin, I used to know Wii and WiiU code names. The switch was the NX.

      But if I saw Wii or WiiU codenames again, it would come back to me. I’d be like “Ah, yes, thats right.”

      I never knew NES or SNES codenames.

          I knew it! I knew when I saw it, I’d instantly remember it. That’s totally what it was. Virtual Boy had something with 32 in it I think. Is Project 32 a thing? Something with 32.

    That 3DO blip on the right makes me sad, it was arguably a better system than the PlayStation but it just couldn’t make it. (I imagine there are reasons, but I still enjoyed playing things like D on it).

    I still have my video game magazines from the 90s. Sometimes I like to read them to see exactly this kind of news.

    I remember one saying how the water effect in Unreal was almost real
