Welcome to the next edition of Ask PSU. This time our journalists were posed questions about the highly anticipated Killzone for PlayStation 3. The title was originally shown off at E3 2005, but nothing has been revealed since. Of course, this meant we were able to be especially creative with our answers, as you'll see.
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.
I don't think the game will live up to the trailer because that would be craziness but I do think Killzone will come out nice. I think most will be impressed with the game.
yeah, i seriously doubt the trailer, that was just too much. I more worried about gameplay, destructible environments, enemy AI, as well as enemy numbers, online ( i hope they find a way to hook up home with the online games), Graphics are gonna be there, but the more and more I think about games. The more I think about gameplay rather than graphics, too much emphasis on graphics these days. The nintendo has the worst graphics, but awesome gameplay. I mean i remember as a kid I'd play some horrible graphic games (looking back) but they were fun as hell. Meh, anyways, I hope this game lives up to the hype.
What if it does live up to the trailer?
I don't even know by what measure people will compare the 2,
Graphically I honestly don't believe its a problem to do, (what i can have an opinion if PSU can so can I, anyway back to my rant.
I will agree we have not seen much from the PS3 so far but promises by way of games, but look very closely at the Tech Demo's we have seen.
In the end I believe it is left up to the developers to find a way.
I think where the PS3 games started with Resistance and progressed to the end of this year will set the tone.
All else fails we will have MGS4 :)
I think this is going to be hit or miss for Sony. Sony can't afford to have this AAA title fail. They have all the available know how and the support and talent to pull it off. I don't doubt this will be a great game, I do wonder if it will be a Halo 3 killer. Killzone 2 is going to have to offer some depth and not just be another FPS.
I personally think that graphics should be the last thing implemented in a game. Work on the story, the AI, Game play, then the graphics should be somewhere at the end. Look at Counter Strike. It wasn't the most graphically intense game but it was fun and memorable.
Sony,please deliver or be doubted for the rest of your lives!
I just hope Killzone 2 is worth the wait.
