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.
Alert your mommy on this deal before it's too late.
sorry
is WAY too much for the average consumer to even consider?....I have now had my ps3 console for a few years...and even back then I refused to pay full price for it (Craigslist FTW).....My XBOX360 Video Gaming Console on the other hand I had no issues paying full retail price
Refused to pay full price for a PS3 but had no problem paying full pric for a XBox 360? Do you mind me asking what model? I will assume the middle of the road model which put you at $300 initial price + XBL which got you $50 short of a PS3 OR the SAME PRICE as Dell is offering the 80 Gig PS3 for. Yet that's too much? Hypocrisy runs deep in veins of the XBox crowd.
360degrees:
$400 is a great price for the PS3, nevermind $340 with the discount. It's all about the value of the system that you're getting.
The PS3 delivers for me (and for many) a superior gaming experience, along with the ultimate multimedia experience. Not only does it display a maximum of 1080p native resolution (which the Xbox 360 is not capable of), but it includes a Blu-Ray drive that allows the playback of Blu-Ray movies. The 360 is still limited to a DVD front-loading disc tray. The 80GB hard drive is now a staple of the PS3, and it can be replaced with any 2.5" laptop hard drive, and isn't limited to a proprietary overpriced Microsoft hard drive. I can store my music, pictures, and videos on my PS3, and I can also stream content from my computer to my PS3 for viewing or saving purposes. Surfing the internet and watching Youtube videos, or even television shows online, is a possibility, as is using AIM or checking my email.
My PS3 includes built-in wireless internet capabilities, which costs the 360 an extra $100. My PS3 also allows for connecting multiple bluetooth devices, such as the amazing official PS3 bluetooth headset. And my PS3 is free to play games online. You may have had your Xbox 360 for 3 years, but that cost you an additional $150 that I never had to pay, as my online service doesn't cost a thing.
As much as this is a great multimedia console, above all it is the supreme gaming system. The PS3 has amazing potential that the developers have just begun to take advantage of. Games like Uncharted and Metal Gear Solid 4 have blown us away; games like LittleBigPlanet, Resistance 2, and Killzone 2 will do the same. Not to mention there are great PSN games and casual party games like the karaoke-like Singstar, and the trivia game Buzz! Quiz TV. The best is yet to come.
The Xbox 360 may have had the upper hand for a while as far as game development is concerned, but the pendulum has swung in favor of the PS3 not too long ago. Developers are using the PS3 as the lead platform for many multi-platform games, and the PS3 versions look just as good (if not better) than their Xbox 360 counterparts. The only real factor to look at as far as games are concerned are exclusives. And in that battle, the PS3 wins hands-down. This Christmas season, many blockbuster PS3 exclusives will arrive, while the Xbox 360 has only two heavy hitters: Fable 2 and Gears of War 2. Not to speak bad about these titles (I'm intrigued by Gears 2, the first one was an excellent game), but I will eventually be able to play them on my PS3.
Fable, Halo, Halo 2, and Gears of War are all available to play on the PC. These great games that the Xbox 360 has thrived on can be played not only on the computer, but they can be streamed to the PS3 using a service called "PlayOn." Therefore, I don't need an Xbox 360 to play those games; I just get them for my PC and play them there or on the PS3.
The most important reason to validate the cost of the PS3 is the value you receive. The PS3 will last you longer and give you more than any of its competitors, including the Xbox 360. When you buy a PS3 you will get a great games console, and multimedia center, that is well-built to last. You will never have to worry about getting the Red Ring of Death on the PS3, which happened to every single person I know with an Xbox 360 at least once (including my brother). You can pay $200 for an inferior console that has no online (as you need to purchase LIVE, if you want it it's an extra $50 for the year), that will also RROD on you in a matter of time, or you can spend more money to purchase the ultimate gaming machine that will last you well into the next generation. The choice is yours.
