From QJ.net "A new world order, it seems, is the order of the day for a lot of console gamers lately. The PS3 has been subject to a lot of criticism and skepticism for being "underwhelming" - that is, it's a bit too pricey, it doesn't have a real answer for the Xbox Live network, the controller is a bit light and doesn't rumble, along with the lack of a real powerhouse title that can transcend genre boundaries and become a true household name. Most of these, of course, came from people who read articles dissing the PS3 but never actually getting empirical analysis."
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.
Once the PS3 costs around £250 and when it has games I want to play, I bought the 360 on launch because it was in my price range and there were games I wanted along with the fact that I am more favourable to the Xbox. I then bought a Wii 1 week after launch and was rather lucky as I walked into a store who had 6 and walked out with one no pre-order lol - bought it because its a superb looking machine with a new angle to the term 'Gameplay' and is feature packed and very well priced although I do feel £180 is still a little too much should have been around £150 imo.
In any case owning all 3 is always the best way to go I guess but not everyone has that kind of resources and these companies rather you just buy their product only so they can have huge cheesy grins that they are better than everyone else...Something Sony are very good at doing and they annoy me a lot in their approach.
how many of these story's will i have to endure, March cannot come too soon, b/c thats when everyone will be singing to s different tune.
what is in march? motorstorm? let's be real man, it's a pretty racing game, and all racing games are pretty. it's not going to change the world. forza 2 will be just as pretty. so will gt5. it's not a killer app. it's just the most killer app sony has lined up in the immediate future. it's certainly not worth hanging your hat on.
One major fact. Alot and I mean alot of people have never evened tried a PS3. They just heard rumor here speculation their a few crappy articles some bogus biased opinions and hopped right on that "I HATE SONY AND PS3 IS DOOMED" bandwagon. Bro just cause you cant afford it or you like 360 better does not mean PS3 sucks. If the system was really that inferior then why must 360 lovers base their entire life on pointing that out. Especially so early in the game. One word for it. FEAR. Fear that big bad PS3 is going to suceed and then damn it someone out their is going to have a better console than you and Microsoft is going to call it quits again and abandon the 360 etc. etc..... Here is how I see it. And Correct me if im wrong.
PS3 and 360 are more powerful than Nintendo Wii. (FACT)
Do you notice how their isn't constant graphics comparisons or article after article slamming how much better the 360 or PS3 is power wise compare to the Wii. No because everyone is comfortable with that knowledge. they know without a doubt.
360 Better than PS3...( pure opinion) why. Cause if that was a fact why would people need to re assure themselves of it everyday. And dont say its the Sony fanboys. I see how aggressive 360 fanboys are they start 8 out of every 10 graphics,Library and Price comparison on this site.
Deep down inside the 360 fanboys aren't even convinced 360 is better. So until your convinced why even try convincing anyone else.
one point you should consider is that alot of the sony fanboys who claim the ps3 is great have never played a 360 or if they have it was very shortly and didn't experience all the features it has. i actually over heard 2 sony fanboys at a restaunt the other day, they were saying "wow the ps3 online is so awsome being able to download demos and games look so good compared to my ps2 games the next generation is all sony". you don't have to be any fanboy to know 360 owners have been downloading demos and alot more for a long time.
the one thing i notice on this site between the fanboys is they pick their fights. you are right that most "360 fanboys are they start 8 out of every 10 graphics,Library and Price comparison on this site." they jump on those because they know they are usually right. if you see good sony news (which isn't often) alot of the times the 360 fanboys stay away from it or change the conversation to something unrelated to the news.
