"B-b-b-b-ut the cell!"

See Killzone2.

Then, See Uncharted2

Then, See MGS4(best graphics)

Then, See LBP.

Then, Dark Sector*lead ps3*
Then Mirrors Edge *lead ps3*

Then they look at the Unreal Engine.

Then they state the obvious and go for "GAMEPLAY IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN JUST GOOD GRAPHICS" card.. which is met with

yes... we know.. thats why PS3 exclusives also score high as well.

"Q: Why the PS3?

A: In short, the Cell Processor ‘packs a punch’. One of the authors (Khanna) estimates that his MPI computations run much faster than on desktop workstation chipsets, and that his original 8 PS3 (i.e. 64 core) Cell cluster had comparable if not better performance to a 200 Node IBM Blue Gene system."

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.

solideagle32d ago

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

Press X to (seriously) doubt.

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.

Soy39d ago

And then MK1 killed it again.

DivineHand12539d ago (Edited 39d ago )

15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.
