Play3 Live's Killzone 3 review is now live.
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.

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.
french?
Yep, I've update for the english translation link ;)

The only character I ever liked in Killzone was Corporal Garza and they killed him off in Killzone 2. All the other characters are grade A douch bags like Rico, or people you just don't give a shit about.
Really hurts this series having such a piss poor line up of characters. And killing off the only character with a likability factor was beyond stupid.
Ahh more bubbles, and found this editorial of the space nazi's in KillZone.
"The Helgahst (aka Space Nazis) are feeling oppressed by the ISA after they were beaten in the first Helgan war (aka Space WWI and Space Treaty of Versailles) so they build up an army in secret, lead by their potentate Scolar Visari (aka Space Hitler) and launch a surprise attack on the planet of Vecta (aka Space France). An ISA traitor gives the Helgahst control of Vecta's space defense platform (aka Space Maginot Line) and things aren't looking so good for the poor people of Vecta (who are completely absent from the game). But a lone group of ISA soldiers (who must not have been from Space France originally because they actually win) battle through enemy lines and, against all reason and odds, defeat the ISA traitor and regain control of the SD platform before the Helgahst can use it to blow up the fleet being sent from Earth (aka Space America) to drive the Helgahst off Vecta.
Killzone 2 picks up with the ISA dropping on to Helgan (aka Operation Space Varsity) to take the fight to the Helgahst and, in theory, destroy Scolar Visari and end the war."
So, in conclusion, if you have sympathy for the helgasts, it means you yourself are a little petty Nazi wannabe.
Also, that link you provided read like military fiction, not sci-fi so suck on it.
KillZone is NOT Sci-fi.
I love the look of K3 but already I'm finding the multiplayer disappointing. All the elements that ruined K2 multiplayer are back with a vengence in K3.
Unbalanced teams. Everyone wanting to snipe...again! Its like playing a game of soccer and everyone wanting to be the goalie.
Spawn Killing. This seems to be even worse now that the opposition knows where the strategic spawn points are located. If your team does not capture one then chances are you get pushed back into your base where it ends up being another Radec Academy, i.e. spawn kill central.
Some of the on-line elements are brilliant but because of the lack of team balancing and the spawn killing I'm unsure its a day 1 purchase for me now. I really don't want to put in the time into K3 multiplayer (I did over 150 hours for K2) if its going to end up the way of K2.
