Read Next-Gen's candid interview with SCEA's Jack Tretton, as he talks frankly about PS3 supplies, Blu-ray diodes, retailers, the media, publishers and rivals. To coin a phrase, the next generation begins right here…
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
LucasArts gave Jango Fett his own game in 2002, and it pulled Star Wars into a much dirtier, rougher, and more interesting corner of the galaxy.
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.
I actually didn't realize that Sony's the #1 seller of HDTVs (I just remembered them being 3rd or 4th a while back). Tretton's right about American media in that journalists only like to concentrate on the negative aspects, and tend to ignore the positive ones.
His statement "If all three platforms failed but we failed less than the other two I would not cheer ‘well at least we beat those guys!" makes a lot of sense. It's good to see that Sony sees themself as their greatest competition and want to do even better than last generation.
You can tell he still loves to mention this little figure: "PlayStation 2 is outselling Xbox 360 for the year; we’re out-selling Xbox 360 month after month. The same machine that beat the Xbox in 2001 is beating the Xbox 360 in 2006. That’s amazing and that’s big news, but you don’t read a lot about that."
