Why not just drop the price in stead, so the consumer can deside for him self what games to by and some peoples does not even need a second controller?

Some consumers only want the blu-ray player.

doshey6725d ago

well if that is the case then sony should just make a 500 unit coming with a hdmi cord 2 blu ray movies

ALI-G6725d ago (Edited 6725d ago )

PRICE CUT is what i am waiting for.
none of these two games interest me plus none of them support 2 players so why not cut the price instead of putting another controller
they should do what microsoft do in retailers , they sell console + games of your choice for certain amount £ so you chose the bumdle you want.plus what about the people who are not 18 yet ? or want to buy specfic game , they will have to throw another 40£.

Mr VideoGames6725d ago

this Console hasn't even been out that Long and it's already on its Second Starter pack, but even i have to Admit getting 2 Controllers and 2 games is a GREAT DEAL but thats not the Point why are they already trying to increase the Value of this Thing im sure when games come out people will Buy i mean i think people see the Value in it but no one wants one cause they don't have any Killer Apps or Good Titles on it Right now, and it doesn't Exactly make them look good right now when the start Bundling one of there Best Titles out right now "heavenly Sword" but i didn't like it but you know still doesn't look good

SonyDefenseForce6725d ago (Edited 6725d ago )

especially for the Game Title, getting it free is not a good way to say "this a killer Game" this might hurt the PS3 by telling Consumers the System isn't doing very we'll

Rageanitus6725d ago

They are still making a big loss on t he hardware itself when selling at this price.

astroboy2k56725d ago

Who cares what games you get in the bundle. If you dont like the games dont open them and return them for store credit.

QuackPot6725d ago (Edited 6725d ago )

They need to reduce those losses by keeping the price high.

They also need to get rid of old SKUs and replace them with the newly manufactured SKUs which hopefully have benefited from cheaper production costs. Least we forget that the rumble controller will be returning soon so they also need to get rid of all the non-rumble controllers.

This is merely the calm before the storm. Or preparing the ground for something big this Christmas. Price drop & Rumble? Fingers crossed.

This is turning into the Sega Saturn situation all over again!

edit: i should elaborate because some of you guys don't know how to look back into the past and see that Sega also offered games packaged with the Saturn as "value packs". That's all I was referring to; no negativity against the PS3's sales or anything like that.

Real Gambler6725d ago (Edited 6725d ago )

As the title said...

Mu5afir6725d ago

The Ps1 and Ps2 also had value packs, the 360 had value packs 6 months into it's life span. And if you do remember the Wii is essentially a value pack, since it comes with Wii Play already included.

Mattguy6725d ago

Putting resistance in the pack is what they should have done from the very start-nothing on the ps3 beats resistance(currently) And putting a second controller is smart because every one owning resistance has a buddy wanting to play co-op garunteed. They just have to make sure that they leave the normal non-starter pack ps3's out there because like many have already pointed out theres people who might just want the cheap blu-ray.

Mr VideoGames6725d ago (Edited 6725d ago )

My Grampa bought a PS3 just to watch movies on it lol

Real Gambler6725d ago

He said "nothing on the ps3 beats resistance(currently) " Not nothing on every consoles beat Resistance!!!!

Personally, Motorstorm is definitively up there as well with Resistance, so HS and Motorstorm may have been a better choice!...

Guess they had too many F1 on the shelf... : )

alexander22rednaxela6725d ago

Oblivion got higher scores than RestiFOM.

thereapersson6725d ago (Edited 6725d ago )

Uh, I read the article. I was mainly referring to the fact that the Saturn came with games packaged in with it as a "value pack" back in the day.

And 360 fanboy? Yeah, kind of hard to be one of those when the only next-gen system I own is the PS3...

edit: no problem d00d. Just like to keep things legit and real, ya know?

Real Gambler6725d ago

The fanboy comment was for the next fellow, not you! I edited it. Very stupid mistake, simply hit the wrong reply button.

Back to the subject, I'm not too keen either about "value pack" either, but was simply curious about the Sega Saturn comment. I believe pretty much every consoles ever sold had one "value pack" at least in their life, so I wasn't sure if you meant it was bad for Sega or not.

Curiously yours, and sorry again for the wrong comment!

Salvadore6725d ago

They should release a starterpacker with Warhawk with Rachet/clank.

ALI-G6725d ago (Edited 6725d ago )

because this will make the pack accessible by more people,

Salvadore6725d ago

You have 2 games, one accessible for children and another one accessible for the mature audience.

It’s Time for Sony to Bring Back Killzone and Resistance

Sony is in the middle of an FPS crisis, but bringing back two much-loved PlayStation shooters could easily be the solution.

shinoff2183590d ago

I'd rather them focus on a rpg. Shooters can wait

just_looken590d ago

We have alot of rpg's but only cod for a AAA first person shooter unless you toss in xdefient but that is still fixing 2yr old beta issues.

We need more AAA fps games then rpg's

shinoff2183590d ago

Yea right. Theirs so many shooters on the market.

just_looken589d ago

@shin

Name 3 AAA fps games coming out this year

Cacabunga589d ago

I want Killzone yea, but as a gaas no buy!

Cacabunga589d ago

Yes we need some new FPS experiences.. COD is just not engaging enough. We want a Killzone back to the roots, not a Shadow Fall again..

+ Show (1) more replyLast reply 589d ago
Crows90589d ago

There's tons of RPG in the market too...what's your point exactly.

RaidenBlack589d ago

No Killzone or Resistance or Factions for you ... only Concord & FairGame$

Ironmike589d ago

No more rpg for a while would love a new resistance though

DarXyde589d ago

Agree on preferring RPGs though at this exact moment, it would be great to see more horror games. Another reason why Japan Studio closing is just tragic. Loved Siren.

just_looken589d ago (Edited 589d ago )

Fuck jim ryan japan studio did so much and helped alot with ports/localization

If they were around bloodborn would be possible like how they helped with demon souls ps4 finial fantasy port.

Horror games would be nice but the jim ryan axe job helped alot in killing playstation dev numbers/freedom and increased regulation with the new censorship crap.

1Victor589d ago

If Sony is bringing back a old shooter I would prefer Warhawk or better yet Starhawk

Rynxie589d ago

No thanks. Resistance and killzone were my all time favorite fps games. I completely dominated those games. I met good people, had a ton of fun and have a lot of fond memories. I don't want them to bring back these games, unless they tackle the cheating epidemic. I know I will absolutely hate these games, if I was to play them now, with all the effing cheating going on in fps games.

Psychonaut85589d ago

Bro the market is oversaturated with quality RPGs AND bloated shitty RPGs already.

Inverno590d ago

I honestly don't think we'll be seeing these anytime soon, if ever. Insomniac is officially on Marvel duty since it seems that all they're working on based off the leaks, and Horizon is more of what the casuals want these days. And I now I'll get a bunch of disagrees, but keep in mind that Resistance last got a game on the PS3 (2011) and Killzone was a launch title for the PS4 (2013). 10 years is a long time to make a game, if had any interest they would've done it by now, add InFamous to that list.

just_looken590d ago (Edited 590d ago )

Your right except the dates killzone mercenary was on ps vita 2013 same with resistance burning skies back in 2012

Good-Smurf589d ago

Both of those games are either made by smaller B team or completely different developer.
Killzone Mercenary developed by Guerilla Cambridge which is now defunct.
Resistamce Burning Skies wasn't made by Insomniac but by Nihilistic Software also defunct after the failure of CoD Black Ops Declassified.

just_looken589d ago

@good i know i never said they were

I mentioned them as they were the last games under that ip well killzone was last on ps4 but still even though they are different devs they led to the lose of the ip.

I highly doubt they made up for there budget cost even killzone on ps4 had low sales for such a large ip at the time.

shinoff2183590d ago

Infamous should atleast get remastered. I'd be cool with that

SPEAKxTHExTRUTH590d ago

Resistance 3 turned me off to the series but I’d love a reboot. KillZone I think can stay dead. Give me a new Resistance like 1or 2 and I’ll be happy.

JEECE590d ago

Except Resistance 1 and 3 were far more similar, 2 was the outlier. 3 was a great return to form after 2 changed so many things from the first game.

SPEAKxTHExTRUTH589d ago

I didn’t like 3 and I didn’t find it similar to the first game.

Moegooner589d ago

2 was the best resistance game.

Michiel1989589d ago

agreed, the co-op was my fav in 2

Michiel1989589d ago

I'll keep saying it, have Bungie make a new resistance game, a match made in heaven. Although I imagine Bungie would be too proud to take over an existing IP.

Huey_My_D_Long590d ago

I honestly never cared or liked killzone. Huge resistance fan though. I remember so many nights playing melee only on USS Lexington, and I like the alt history vibe.

InUrFoxHole589d ago

Liked KZ more but both those games are better than MAG

Huey_My_D_Long589d ago

Facts.
Since I'm down memory lane, I also wish for remaster of Warhawk.

P_Bomb590d ago

I’ve been barking up that tree for years. 😢

OtterX589d ago

Keep barking, boy! Keep barking! Never give up hope. ;)

PlayStation 3 Games That Desperately Need a PS5 Remaster

The PlayStation 3 may not have been the strongest generation for Sony, but there were still some diamonds in the rough that deserve a revisit as PS5 remasters.

OtterX679d ago (Edited 679d ago )

Even if they could just remaster and put on PSVR2, some would still look great as VR titles and could do a whole lot to bolster the headset w these exclusives! I'd imagine the investment of reworking these titles into VR would be way less than building new games from the ground up, and they could be amazing experiences, and VR often makes flat games feel fresh again. The Resistance and Killzone games are particularly what I want to see!!

Rude-ro679d ago

I played killzone 3 in 3d and it really changed the game per being immersive.
In vr, that would be even more awesome.

darthv72679d ago

Funny you mention that... my son wanted to play some PS3 games in 3d on my PS tv and he was blown away by how good KZ3 was. It really was a great addition to the game. Im surprised there have not been more 3d games from that era being ported to the PSVR/VR2.

_SilverHawk_679d ago

resistance 1-3, killzone 1-3, uncharted 1-3, uncharted golden abyss, folklore, socom 4 , motorstorm, twisted metal, MAG, heavenly sword

Cacabunga679d ago

Killzone 2+3
Sly Thieves in Time
Crack in Time
God of War Ascension
Motorstorm
Modnation racer
Infamous 1+2

Profchaos679d ago (Edited 679d ago )

Killzone trilogy in VR would be amazing bonus points if they offer shadow fall.

There was a psvr1 Killzone project that supermassive was working on at one stage which wasn't up to scratch and Sony brand it back in house I was hoping we would see that on psvr2 eventually.

Personally I'd love to see some more love or acknowledgement of psvr2 from Sony in general it was a expensive headset and Sony barely acknowledge it's existence

seanpitt23679d ago

The amount of work needed to remaster these games wouldn't be beneficial on a financial and business sense.. MGS4 would probably be the best bet as it would need the least amount of work!

Iceball2000679d ago

YEAAASSSSS! I miss this franchise and wanna play it so bad again.

Father__Merrin679d ago

The time is perfect for a resistance fall of man game campaign coop multiplayer

InUrFoxHole679d ago

The resistance series is str8 trash to me. Socom 3 I would welcome. Or killzone MP.

Marcus Fenix679d ago

A Resistance reboot will be awesome

Michiel1989679d ago

That's what Bungie should make, Ill keep saying it until it happens

1Victor679d ago (Edited 679d ago )

Resistance was ok but Warhawk and Starhawk was better and kept me coming back for almost a decade of fun and petty revenge on the loud mouth unskilled players 🤣
Edit I loved capture the flag dropping the pot on the flag carrier was extremely satisfying as well as transforming your plane in bot form and stumping them to death 😱

Michiel1989679d ago

Resistance was the best co-op fps I ever played after L4D2
