Sony has cleared things up regarding the pricing set for one of the downloads set to go live on 11/11 on the PlayStation Network. No, we didn't get the date wrong, it's for Japan.
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.
Geo Wars: ~$4, under 50mb
PS3 competitor: ~$7, almost 100mb
Yup.
Time will tell...
I am suprised no one has made a comparison between the higher priced PS3 content and the cost of XBox Live yet.
I am sure I am instigating it but I would like a good belly laugh today.
Har har har!
TheMART you are right about the quality of the content and not quantity, but quantity does come into play if quality is equal or near equal to similar products. It will actually usually be the deciding factor. BUT, quality is all perception and personal opinion. What is good to you could be complete crap to someone else and vice-versa.
The ps3 content does have the advantage of being 1080p, and they can all go over the 50MB limit that MS has imposed, resulting in larger, more technical arcade style games. Plus that comes into effect when games like Lumines on Live are split up and cost more to get the whole package. On the ps3 the entire game could be presented as a whole, and would therefore be cheaper.
It's definitely a tradeoff. For ps3 arcade games to compete, they're gonna still have to be extremely polished, as there is less of a limit to the content that is possible than with the 360 arcade. With higher expectations comes higher prices, but the games have the potential to do more. I think in either case, people will be able to find the games they want, and at the current prices, I don't think anybody, 360 or ps3, can really complain too much.
One question I have left though, is if that $7 figure is the final price point, or if they just get that from the conversion. If there's no basis for that $7, than this arguing is a bit premature, as it could cost less and sell for $5, or cost more and sell for $10.
