MSN.UK has reviewed Sony's Playstation 3 console going on sale March 23rd in the PAL region. In their review the bring up valid points and a great conclusion to their article. Here are some quotes:
"
The key thing to know about the Cell is that it has the juice to run a new class of gameplay physics that will allow developers to create spectacular effects and eventually provide a whole new depth of realism to games. Cell is paired with PlayStation 3's RSX 'Reality Synthesiser' graphics-processing unit -- a gargantuan 550MHz, 300-million-transistor graphics chip based on Nvidia's GeForce 7800 GTX graphics technology."
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.
well do we have to say it again
TITLE that has been Sony Fony'd
"PS3 Reviewed"
is the original title.
This is not creative journalism, this is a Sony fanboy twisting stuff
You say creative, I say trying to put anything so Sony positive that it's not publishing just news anymore. Let's put in the more important stuff then to give it some balance:
"The big question, of course, is whether the PS3 is £150 better than the Xbox 360. From a purely gaming perspective, the short answer is: no, not today. As with any new gaming system, you're going to have to wait at least a year before you see game developers begin to get the most out of the PS3, and right now, there isn't a game out there that's able to beat the best titles on the Xbox 360."
"The long and short of it is that the PS3 clearly measures up to the Xbox 360 in terms of its graphics prowess. That said, there really isn't anything available yet that's unique or so far beyond what the Xbox 360 offers that you think, "I have to get this system to play that game."
You're indeed looking at high end hardware. Might be called a computer/PC. But not the best gaming device indeed, agreed on that one!
That's why it's unbiased TheMart. Unbias doesn't mean it's positive for the ps3...it means it looks logically at both sides of the argument and as you can see its conclusion is not positive.
So how is saying unbias positive for Sony? Kind of missing your point here.
Would have been a bias twisted title if it said "PS3 review: PS3 versatile and impressive". Get off your high horse and stop doing pr everywhere.
Soooo I suppose the right thing to do would of been to. Copy and Paste the conclusion of the article. That way no one has a right to jump to the original authors page and see how they made this good review. Right? Not only that but out of a very detailed review that is worth reading for PAL PS3 buyers. I should of went out of my way to pick out the negative paragraph in the entire review. Correct? So the review is about 90% Pro-PS3. They look at everything fairly and evenly. You honestly believe that me posting this in the "PS3" news section and then going into the article to dig up negativity. That wouldnt be fanboying? Yes it would. It would be Xbox360 fanboying. You A smart guy. YOu be the judge. Tell me which of the following examples merit fanboying.
1. Posting a Pro-Sony article in the Sony news channel highlighting the positive aspects upon wich the majortity of the article is based on.
2. Posting a Pro-Sony article in the PS3 section highlighting the only hint of flame bait in the entire page long review?
Your answer.... Please?
Anyone who agrees with me. Just hit agree. If you dont then hit disagree. But for gods sake grow some ballzz and dont vote me and try to shut me up. Cause thats just called fear. Fear of the Truth.
of hearing about consoles, I want to hear about Games.
I play games not consoles.
So Mart jumped on you the other day for posting an article that has a title clearly biased toward the PS3. Then today he jumps on you for posting an article stating that an article is unbiased. I read it and it's about as unbiased as these things get. I guess he'll only leave you alone when you find a PS3 review that states that the PS3 is inferior to the 360.
