The PlayStation 3 has come under fire recently for its steep price. How is Sony corporate handling the criticism? Is Sony's corporate culture changing? Gamepro posed these timely questions to Dave Karakker, director of Sony Computer Entertainment America's corporate communications.
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.
Here we go again...the games R coming fella's so calm down.
Whats the difference in what this guy's saying vs the others?. The games are coming alright (*_*). All consoles have games comming.
1. would you take the ps3 if it were free.
2. why...?
i see no reason to make one system look more bad then the other.
i had a 360 (was robed on chrismas eve) and i was very glad of it, but i also like my ps3, there are not that many games for it right now, but i am looking forword to the once that are comming.
ps. i think this guy must realy having alot work on his hands with all the bad pr that sony has gotten since the launche..
People live to bash MS/360 this guy isn't alone. The day MS does to Sony what Sony did/does to MS; i'll stop purchasng their products. 360/2.5, Spring launch thunder stealing scam etc. etc.) MS's is attacked so offten it makes 360 fans not want to visit game sites and this guy's crying about people saying theres no games and PS3 too exspinsive plus noticing the PS3 isn't what was promised.
No one's going out of thier way to spite the PS3 out of envy or will even bother with bashing PS3/titles: Uncharted, Heavenly Sword and other PS3 hype building success in normal situations. Sony has had it easy, people complain about price and lack of sotware and its realalistic capabilites other than that!; no one's actively seeking to tarnish the PS3 as the Sony fans do with the 360. Media will buzz on whatever being talked about.
#5: The level of prejudice against "both" systems is amazing, People tag the PR filth with the PS3, come on bro, The PS3 is 3X more powerful than the 360, PS3's lauch games would be untouchable durring the 360's entire life span and all the other HD resalution Bullshit, reaching for the Sun jibba jabba.
And the 360 is hated due to the fact it's a threat to the PS legacy.
We'll see if that dude can undo the damage fast enough; no one wants to be lied to it's like a Cars Sales man Saying this and that and selling you a lemon(not saying PS3's a Lemon but that does upset people in simular ways).
(((((Kyur4ThePain ))))) There is no
conspiracy.
^^ Then WTF is this guy( Dave Karakker) talking about! then?. Don't make post the links of Sony PR saying what they said not to mention the Sony PR saying the PS3 is so! advanced its launch games could not be acheived on the 360. Did i type that right or do you need to read it again a few times?.
I'v owned two PS3 who gives a fack.
Go play your god dam PS3, will you have fun yes; will it change what this PR guy's facing no!.
Millions waited on the PR promisses of how revolutionary the capabillties the PS3 was going to have over the 360 last Sping and later when it actualy launched on day one and it wasn't as said, that was an attack on MS and this guys crying because people are saying it's too exspensive and has lack of software that the bulk of casual consumer care about.
(((((Kyur4ThePain )))))IF There is no
conspiracy don't reply to me!; post in general.
You bring up defect rate as if that makes up a large percentage of the 360 bashing from Sony fanboys, PR and 1st party devs. Thats moronic at best an is a prime example of what i'm talking about twisting to bash, that child like reasoning is funny to me adding the defect rate.
(((((Kyur4ThePain ))))) There is no
conspiracy. Its best i put your moronic ass on ignor, fools trying tell me to open my eyes when he's so anti MS he sports a anti MS avatar pic. lol
The PS3 is exactly what it promised. The most technologically advanced console today. Granted it hasnt delivered but it still has more than enough room to deliver. The amount of negative spin behind the PS3 is amazing. I remember the day i bought the PS3 from eb games. The guy that sold it to me told me so much bull it was amazing. Such as
1. You can't change the hard drive
2. The batteries for the controller arent rechargable
3. Has a very high failure rate
4. And a lot more...
Whats worse is i bought all that crap. I was this close to changing my mind on the whole console until he started convincing me to get an xbox360 which i already had. I was this close to not getting the game. The level of prejudice against this system is amazing i mean this coming from an eb games employee. WOW.
