Gamers have argued throughout this entire generation, which started in 2005 with the 360 becoming the first 7th generation console released, and 'til this day the arguments continue. While both consoles claim to be superior to one another, both consoles are essentially the same. At their core they do the same things, which is play video games. Both consoles offer an online marketplace where you can purchase games, movies and other downloadable items. Both consoles also play games in high definition and support Wi-Fi, HDMI and Ethernet. They both play DVD movies and CD's and they both offer a solid online community where you can play games online and interact with other gamers all over the world. Generally in a nutshell they are actually the same console if you really think about it.
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.
If the authors intention was to cool the Console War then he/she is wasting their time.
In my opinion the PS3 is vastly superior to the 360 because of the multimedia capabilities it has. I know alot will say that the multimedia aspect is not important, but we all know that Nintendo and Microsoft will have Media Center abilities in their next consoles.
Facts are that Sony got there first with the Media Center and technology. PS3 is simply a better machine and to deny this by claiming they are the same is rediculous. The 360 cannot do what the PS3 can do without a big dent in the wallet because it was not designed for it in the first place, and even after this outlay of money their are many things the 360 still cannot do.
the problem with that theory is that until devs start to utilize the ps3 and the ps3 becomes the standard and not the 360 none of that matters. exclusives will only do so much and you gotta look at sales. while the ps3 exclusive sales are good they are not great bar a few titles.
until third party devs start to utilize the ps3 like they could/should, then it is a lost cause and all that technological superiority is out the window.
That was a great article, but there was one problem. That has to be one of the ugliest pictures I have seen............Oh wait! It seems someone used there new photoshop software to create a much nicer one :)
