The Tokyo Game Show has just ended and many of us were very satisfied with what we saw from Sony, some of us, not so much... Over at PS3Land.com brought some things to attention that some of you were probably thinking yourselves, and ask the question; WTF Sony?
Basically there are things Sony has yet to reveal and launch is right around the corner. The discussion will include things like; Where was Sony's online announcements, where was Linux, and what are the final specs on the RSX graphics card? Some of you may feel fine knowing that Sony is planning everything strategically and not showing all their cards just yet. Perhaps many of you will agree with their arguements and that's for you to decide.
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
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.
Why did Sony push Shuhei Yoshida out of his role leading PlayStation's first-party games? He'd overseen some huge successes. Well, apparently, he didn't listen.
Yeah I can see that for sure. Shuhei Yoshida should have been in charge not Jim Ryan.
It should be free highway for him now.. but Sony are too stupid to see this, especially that moron Hulst
Wtf why all that anger. PlayStation is dominating on every level. Besides I think there is a little more to hiring a CEO than just who is available. Its not like its a athlete your team wants to buy.
S2Killinit
live service failures, chasing trends, closing studios. yes dominating
Sony is Dominating because competition is not existing. Compared to previous gens this is the poorest in terms of software offerings.
Last gen we got Uncharted 4 Lost Legacy and TLOU2 from ND alone.
This is so far a remasters gen, with no competition to lift up the quality
..."PlayStation is dominating on every level"....
...Really???
PlayStation are soon heading into a new generation in the not to distant future. They currently have the worst customer satisfaction they've ever sustained as a company. The company is heading for a huge crash while at the same time they'll need to be planning how they are going to try and win back that favour and the build up to their new releases.
Yes financially they're winning but they're going to have to ride out this complete public corporate disaster. No one has faith in the company or the product anymore. They've damaged their public image so much this generation. Greed can kill anyone.
He would've done the same thing and fire Jim Ryan and Shuhei would be the villain. Why?
Because Elite creates the narrative and distraction for gamers, users and citizens.
More confirmation that Jim Ryan is the culprit for what has happened to Sony. Hulst needs to go too. What sucks is that a lot of the good top heads at Sony are no longer there. I wish that guys that were forced out prematurely by Dumbo Jimbo like Shuhei and Layden came back.
Yep. Yoshida was responsible for bringing one of the best games of this generation to playstation (Stellar Blade). He is an actual gamer and is in touch with what gamers want (creative, fun games, not GaaS and agenda pushing). He also seems like a genuinely nice guy if you watch some interviews. Of course they got rid of him.
Makes you wonder if MS even thought about hiring him after Phil and Sarah were leaving. He certainly couldn't make their situation any worse.
All the gamer/consumer lead heads are gone across PS and Xbox. shuhei gone phil's gone (questionable) but gone. The future of gaming is somewhat uncertain across the board.
Great read. It really brings to light on how there are alot of unanswered questions regarding ps3. Very important questions at that. I personall dont think there will be an event before the launch. I think that sony just wanted tgs to hype the ps3 and get gamers to forget about the online, the linux, the rsx etc. I think they are banking on the hardcore to snatch up consoles which they will and of course they wont care if the online is ready or not.
I myself will wait till like 2007 or 2008 or whenever I feel the ps3 will be worth the price. 1 or 2 good ps3 games just isnt enough to me and especially now that bioshock isnt coming to ps3 and that DMC might be coming to 360 as well as kingdom hearts I doubt I will have any reason to buy a ps3.
I couldn't agree with you more. Well said. I do have one for me at launch. But TGS didn't do it for me. It didn't tell much about the Ps3 and what you are paying 600 plus dollars for. I thought Sony was suppose to have a big big announcement at TGS. HDMI? Thats it? That announcement affects 2% of gamers and thats the big news? Microsoft is doing a good job at giving gamers more incentive to not spend over half a grand on a questionable console when they could invest half of that in Unbelievable next gen games. Mass Effect, Gears of War, Halo 3, Bio Shock, GTA, Assasins Creed, Splinter Cell and so on.
top gamer what games are you looking forward to for the ps3. I personally think heavenly sword and lair are going to be AAA but thats about it and they have been delayed. Also resistance looks good but when theres COD3,Raibow six vegas, gears etc. resistance seems to get overshadowed in my eyes. I do however have high hopes for the online but as I previously said sony is being a lil shady on the online and if reesistance along with sonys other games launches with no online multiplayer then sony will be in big trouble.
O and I really hope that "x" wont be used as the fire button in the game for I will automatically not want to play it. Its the main reason I never played fps on the ps2 because it just doesnt feel right after using the triggers on the xbox and 360. Even though ps3s R2 and L2 buttons are said to be more like triggers I've seen the "sixaxis" and they pretty much look the same as the ps2s R2 and L2 buttons but who knows I could be wrong.
But yea though what games on ps3 are you looking forward to?
i think the ps3's worth $600 but i dont want to have to mess with sending it in for a new one because of launch problems but im looking forward to heavenly sword, lair, resistance, god of war(when it comes to ps3), hot shots golf, motorstorm, warhawk, UT 2007(dont know if i want ps3 or pc version though), Mercs 2, BIG, Ratchet and Clank, 8 days, and devil may cry 4. The problem is all but one isnt coming out till 2007 or later thats another reason why im not getting a launch ps3
the games look good, but online play is what this gen is going to be about...I wanted to hear more, and got zip...other than ken's "vision"
