Where's Hardware 2? (The Announced PS3 Exclusive)

TheGamingPlanet Writes: "A while back a website that were all familiar of called "PlayStation LifeStyle" posted a huge announcement on a PS3 exclusive game that we don't know much about. I mean where is it, and does the game actually exist?"

Maybe Sev can tell us if there is something to tell. I think personally it was all bs.

BTW what happened to siligon. that dude played himself and now hes playing a disappearing act lol. VGTILT ah yes was suppose to be getting a web page upgrade.

Kain816299d ago

Silogon....a ego lover maybe, i dont know.

Freak of Nature6299d ago

How about the game the BBC reporter raved about Months and months ago?

Team Ico's game?

How about Beyond good and evil 2? Almost a year since they have shown anything?

Oddworld inhabitants Citizen Siege Movie/game tie in,where is it?

The next Jak game,is it just rumor?

The next PS360 Kingdom hearts?

These are all my most anticipated games,and the waiting game continues...

I think here's what happened:

Sev gets exclusive info from one of his insiders in the industry
He promises to show it on a certain date
He upsets a lot of his friends/contacts
Instead of showing what he was going to show, he makes up something to save face
Then his website starts doing more general articles/speculation/features rather than insider stuff

He upset a lot of people I'm guessing by trying to show that exclusive. Sony has their own plans about when they want to show stuff - and random websites getting insider info spoils those plans so they're not going to be best pleased.

As for the BBC game, well, I suspect that he was just shown a trailer for a game that may/may not come to fruition. It was probably a pre-rendered scene from something in development. There have been loads of games shown and then cancelled, so this game might not be any different.

to the new vgtilt but sadly the creator hasn't updated his page.. it might be due to him saying he would be back with exclusive images and what not of a game.. forgot what it was.

Blasphemy6299d ago

It was never officially announced just some rumor started by some no name site for hits.

peeps6299d ago

Would be nice to see a second although the first obviously didn't sell well considering they started giving copies free with every central station disc (in eu anyway dunno about US), guessing because most didn't know and still don't know to this day that you could take a ps2 online!

The first was quite good fun but it was very very basic imo

Panipal20056299d ago

The site’s called Playstation LIEstyle for a reason.

The Hardware 2 debacle was that reason.

Basically Sev the chief PS LIEstyler promised exclusive pictures of Hardware 2 to be shown on a certain date. When that date rolled around, and the pictures were not in evidence, he turned around and basically said the dog ate his homework.

After that he busied himself with scrubbing every trace of the not-unexpected backlash. Every complaint, no matter how mild was deleted, and every complainer banned. His justification for this was if you were disappointed at his not keeping his promises you were just a hater.

Sev remains a class act to this day.

SixTwoTwo6299d ago (Edited 6299d ago )

2.40 FW leak ring a bell?

Sev6299d ago (Edited 6299d ago )

Congrats Panipal on opening your own site. I am sure you have been waiting for this day.

I already responded to Hardware 2 before, and I will not again.

Nice to see that this "Thegamingplanet" is full of integrity calling out another gaming site.

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.

solideagle20d 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

Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments

"Gaming’s Biggest Fighting Franchise"

Press X to (seriously) doubt.

DarXyde27d ago

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.

Soy27d ago

And then MK1 killed it again.

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

PlayStation legend Shuhei Yoshida says Jim Ryan fired him because he didn't listen to him

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.

Cacabunga28d ago

It should be free highway for him now.. but Sony are too stupid to see this, especially that moron Hulst

S2Killinit28d ago (Edited 28d ago )

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.

neutralgamer199228d ago

S2Killinit

live service failures, chasing trends, closing studios. yes dominating

Cacabunga27d ago

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

1nsomniac27d ago (Edited 27d ago )

..."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.

medman27d ago

Hulst is a disaster......

blacktiger27d ago

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.

Outside_ofthe_Box28d ago

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.

robtion27d ago

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.

darthv7228d ago

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.

Agent7528d ago

Microflop. After Windows XP and Xbox 360, it all went floppy.

S2Killinit28d ago

Floppy 😆
No pun intended

badz14928d ago

Yoshida for President! Jim Ryan was and always be a hack! Sony should get Shu back

Lightning7728d ago

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.
