While it's debatable whether Sony's current-gen console (the PlayStation 3, for the cave dwellers amongst you) is the best games console on the market - PSBeyond takes a look at why, with features like PlayTV, Sky deals, blu-ray and more, it is now a definitive competitor for the best entertainment centre available today.
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, as for Racers the ps3 has the competition beat. I mean GT3 is still my favorite sim racer to date, then Motorstorm Pacific Rift is the most fun off road racer in exsistance. Wipeout HD and GT5P are just icing on the cake.
As for shooters, the 360 wins because MW2 is gonna have better networking then the ps3, but its multiplat. Thats the best shooter period, but still, Killzone 2 is a beast, Warhawk is still one of the best shooters too. We will just have to see who wins with the fps crown when MAG comes.
As for action adventure, Sony pwns hands down. inFamous, God of War 3, Uncharted, and Ratchet are AAA titles, but the New Mario, Metroid, and Zelda might take the crown.
Rpgs Sony wins hands down with everything coming such as WKC, Demon's souls, FF13 vs, FF14 online, plus the whole ps2 and ps1 library, anyone who says different is a fool.
The ps3 has better tech, but the 360 is better for online gaming. For one the 360 headsets cancel out noise better, games like COD4 and 5 play better online, and cross game chat is a standard that consoles should be following right now.
My argument is that sure the ps3 has the best tech, but the 360 is a better online gaming console. Anyone who says different is a fanboy. Now im gonna go back and play some Motorstorm PR. Good day gentlemen.
Yes.
Its good but not the best
Bluray: 360 got 1080p streaming
Memory Card Reader: not anymore
PSN: XBLM
PlayTV: not included in the box
SkyTV: I thought this was about the PS3 not PSP, 360 actually has Sky Player
PS3 still got a long way to go before it can be called the best entertainment centre, especially if you want to compare it to the 360
Anyone who has a full home theater setup willwant a PS3 over any other console. Full HD support due to Blu-ray which not only includes HD visuals but sound as well for both movies and games. 360's HD streaming may come pretty close visually but will not have HD sound. Media center capabilites are at least as good as anyones if not a little better. Sure a gamers choice in games and online features may come down to preference but the inclusion of Blu-ray in all PS3s which is the only console on the market to contain one puts it in the #1 spot for those with a home theater set up and for those who also like to use it as a media center as well.
