4Player-"Would a PS3 / PS Vita bundle be enough to pick up lagging PS3 sales at the tail-end of this generation and lay the groundwork for a firm PS4 release? The question is not out of the realm of possibility. PlayStation UK boss Fergal Gara told CVG as much an a recent interview, and I don't think Sony is currently in a position to deny a “try anything” tactic to get themselves back to the forefront."
Square Enix launches Final Fantasy X 25th anniversary site, revealing new Nomura art, books, music releases, and merchandise.
Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.
They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.
they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.
Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted
Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments
FuRyu revealed on Friday its Exstetra fantasy role-playing game is getting an HD remaster that will launch this summer on Steam.
A brutal reset, a smarter story, and a return to what made it great—Mortal Kombat (2011) revived the series.
Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.
15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.
Glorious
can we say $5-600 price tag? Great idea if it's true though
It's not the bundle or the price of that bundle that is of importance here. It's the promotional element that matters. A box in the shop with a Vita+Ps3 on it would blur the main selling point of the Wiiu. It would create confusion and inspire conversation. THAT is why the bundle is important, not simply the sales of it.
66 million PS3 owners and 4 million Vita owners would think twice about buying a Wiiu if they thought they could get the exact same experience by purchasing Vita or PS3. It would also send a signal to developers that Sony ARE serious about wanting Wiiu games on their system.
The concept of the Wiiu is everything, not the raw power of the machine, so by mirroring it for the duration of the Wiiu's lifecycle, Sony could effectively emulate the success of the Wiiu. They need that 3rd party support though and I can guarantee that Sony are already in talks with those Wiiu devs, trying to convince them to add Vita ability to their games.
Not a possibility for my wallet
In my opinion this would work great if two things happen. One, a PS3 price drop of $199 for the 250GB model. Two, a PSV price drop (please note I'm one of the ones that does NOT think its overpriced. The memory cards (a 32Gb owner), well that's another story) to $199. If these two things happen, and they can bundle a PS3 a DualShock a PSV and a 4-8Gb card for $399, I think it would be a great option.
