According to an article over at T3, a leaked Sony document details a few secrets about the PS3 and its internal Blu-Ray player. The Playstation 3 will be one of Sony's first pieces of hardware to use the "BD Live" technology, which allows Blu-Ray players (not limited to the PS3 -- most Blu-Ray players will incorporate this technology given a year or two) to go online and download new content whenever a disc is inserted.
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 it's called BD Live expect a huge lawsuit from Microsoft for trademark infrigment. Microsoft is a huge company made up of lawyers, the last thing sony needs is Microsofts putting them in court. Especially trademark infrigment, Sony would lose for sure. "Live" is a microsoft term for online/connected, (xbox live, windows live, live marketplace, live anywhere, live arcade). Sony get your own catch phrase. If they do use live I hope microsoft sues the hell out of them and makes Krazy Ken live on the street along with the rest of the dishonest sony execs. It's one thing to copy technology and it's another to copy their name expecially if it's the same product. Imagine if I made my own drink and called it Pepsi, I doubt Pepsi Corp. would take it kindly. You don't see other companies putting "i" infront of their products to copy apple.
Microsoft should sue the hell outta them for this outrage! SONY, WHAT EVER HAPPENED TO ORIGINALITY?!
Good news.
You know, I thought PS3 was gonna be sweet, i mean even with the 659 price, i wasnt that upset, cause its almost like getting a gaming computer, for half the price of a blu-ray player. But over the past serveral months, ever since E3 2006 Press Con., all theres been for PS3 is bad, bad, more bad, terribly bad, and just plain dumb bad news. This, if true and were to happen with the PS3, would be plain retarded dumb thing Sony ever did for PS3. If sony doesnt start originating with their own ideas, instead of copying everyone else, then why should we buy a over-priced product, that just uses the same things in Xbox 360 and Wii, when we can get 2 consoles for the price of one. Sony, I thought the PS3 was gonna revolutionize gaming to the likes of which we have never seen before. but if all you do is take the ideas and names of your rivals consoles, then your not being creative or original. SONY, GIVE US SOME GOOD NEWS FOR A CHANGE. You should really go back to the drawing board, and try to make it original as possible, different from the 360 and Wii, and maybe you'll get more fan support, other than companys suing you and making you lose more money, and take more loans. STOP WITH THE BAD, RESTART WITH THE GOOD. TRY AND GET RESPECTED AGAIN.
what bs. only if they us the word BD live they dont brake the laws. live is not a word invented by ms ! and especially not BD live. iPod is someting different! when they would use BD iPod then i would agree. its only factilious alarm from you.
