CES: Sony shows Gran Turismo 5 at 4K with SimulView

What's the point of having a 84" 4K Ultra HD television if you're just going to split the screen up for two-player play? Sony was probably thinking the same thing when they rigged up this demonstration at CES that uses their SimulView technology to have two players looking at one screen to see two different views.

We've seen this technology before on Sony's PlayStation 3D display, but this is much more impressive as it's on... well, an 84" Ultra HD screen. They've also scaled up Gran Turismo 5 for 4K resolution for this demonstration, meaning it's running at 3,840 x 2,160. You won't be able to appreciate this from our snapshot, so you'll just have to take my word that it was really impressive. 

If you like the idea of having the ability to have two players looking at one screen for different gameplay views through passive glasses, and 24" wasn't enough for you, you can pick up this 84" 4K set for only $24,999 later this year.









This Pikachu-themed pimp outfit is pretty darn incredible

Have you used any of these weird-ass controllers?

When it comes to controllers, I try to steer clear of third-party options, as I've never once had a better experience with a knock-off versus the real thing. On the other hand, I gladly welcome any and all limited edition pad...   more

Japonies 2013

So, like, this is nothing new. We briefly brought up Japan World Cup, a weird-ass horse race-betting DVD game, a couple years back. You might not have heard of it. Or, if you are like me, you completely forgot that this is a thing that exists. Consider this a refresher course in "Japan is f*ckin' nuts" 101. [Vinesauce] Studyguy - Japonies 2013 [YouTube]   more

LOST gets a 16-bit RPG makeover

Oh, LOST. I loved you. You were such an addicting show, even when the plot got horribly stupid. And thanks to College Humor's on going series of turning everything into a Super Nintendo RPG, I want to rewatch every single episode on Netflix.   more
