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.

A brutal reset, a smarter story, and a return to what made it great—Mortal Kombat (2011) revived the series.
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.
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.
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.
Yup for scientific use it's great we know.
But what about the games? Sell all the PS3's to the army that'll work
sony had spent that much time on its online network as well!
Is perfect for servers and large number crunching calculations. It seems it will O.K. for a game console. The mercury cell is the chip to beat all chips for the next 10+ years. That chips out dose the PS3 cell by 3-4+ terafolps. Too bad that it not in the PS3. I wonder if the mercury cell is the one the U.S. army is using or is it the base cell that is in the PS3.
Noth this again this is the same hype we heard about the super powerful emotion chip from the ps2 that apparently wa being used in nukes at that time...this crap dont believe it
Why do they always have to use good technology for bad purposes? Sucks man
