Former Shiny boss praises Sony's hardware, but criticises high price point
Former Shiny Entertainment boss Dave Perry has praised Sony's PS3 hardware, describing it as "the best piece of hardware, without question" - but claims that it will be years before developers tap that power.
Speaking exclusively to GamesIndustry.biz at GDC, Perry said that he hasn't seen "a single game that shows me the power of PlayStation 3."
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
FuRuy has opened a Twitter account called “Project Alice” teasing a new game announcement on April 25 at 20:30 JST.
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.
Good find Capn....
"If Sony thought of a way that their architecture designers could somehow add even more power for less money, but made programming a misery - actually made you just want to kill yourself - they would do it."
havn't heard anything about Shiney since wild nine....
Anyhoo hope we get some good news today
He's saying Sony should have done what Microsoft did and listen to devs.An example is the 512MB asked for by Epic.Unfortunately Sony have there owns way of doing things.Eventually, it will not prove a problem, but it's a hurdle to overcome.
It always takes time to get the most out of new hardware. Same happened last gen, same will happen this gen. If you look back to what was said about PS2 at first.
'most devs said it was hard to program for'
Yet devs have produced some of the best games for the PS2 over its lifetime. No doubt the same will happen for PS3, just it may take a few years to get the most out of PS3. But, PS3 has loads of potential. In fact its already showing potential at a very early stage its life.
if they are already getting graphics and physics like motorstorm has the future looks bright....
