Ben Bates, professor of journalism and electronic media at the University of Tennessee, feels that the Playstation 3 (PS3) just might be the factor that probably already has decided the high definition format war.
At www.tnjn.com you can have a look at his arguments.
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.
Sorry but we just can't fit anymore nails in this HD-DVD coffin, but we will use it for the 360 coffin. Thanks professor. el oh el
well we knew this was comming....with every PS3 sold there is also another BlueRay customer. Regardless of what a few of you may think...it was bound to end up this way.
"too easy,...........the center of gravity." J/K lol
every time I click on a page today I see Blu-ray, I think it's over for HD-DVD
The Blu-ray Hype is really picking up. Bloomberg Tv is even starting to mention it quite a bit.
Someone at Cnet predicted HD-dvd would fold by September (I did NOT agree)
But they are starting to sound right about bluray on top. Doubt hddvd shutting down anytime soon, but blockbuster is going to be a big hurt on them.
Most people I know decided soon as the news came out the other day as to which format they will get.
Pretty shocking that the PS3 edged it up that fast. But everyone must have gotten HD-Tv's for the holidays and got hooked after playing their first hi def movie.
My first one was King Kong on HD-dvd from the 360 and we were all excited. Second was Casino royal on the PS3 and blew us away again.
All depends on your TV setup of course, and if the movie makers film it the right way to take advantage of Hidef 3d effect camera work..
But future should be so much better that the next big hit to the Movie theaters is coming around again I think in sales loss when everyone complains how much nicer it is to watch a movie at home again:)
