Geek Revolt writes "The PS3, Wii, 3DS, Wii U, and PS Vita all have web browsers. The only current console that doesn’t have one is the Xbox 360. Microsoft must know something we don’t—after all if anyone could deliver a “decent” browser it’s them, right? Well, Internet Explorer isn’t too amazing, but I digress, are web browsers on consoles useful or just useless?"
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
FuRyu revealed on Friday its Exstetra fantasy role-playing game is getting an HD remaster that will launch this summer on Steam.
The Wii is now a retro console. Let’s get nostalgic about an often maligned system.
Crazy to think the WII is to the Switch 2, as the NES was to the WII back then. 20 Year difference.
My wife asks me to bust it out (heh) everyone once in a while to play bowling and tennis with the kids. There was a ton of slop on it but some good stuff as well.
Wii was great but boy howdy did it cause Microsoft to go on a dark walk with the Kinect and the disastrous XBox One launch that they arguably never recovered from.
Not nostalgic for me.. I was there.. anyone who wasnt a little kid realized it was a gamecube with shit tacked onto it, it was the "joke" system and was well below even the switch in terms of comparing it to the latest machines at the time. The machine was well loved by young people and "casual gamers" who now remember it 20 years on, or in most cases more of its sales came in the 15-20 years ago range not right at launch- but again its not nostalgic for people who were "gamers" then really, just for those who ended up with one in their house, the games , graphics, interface and online features were archaic already in 2006.
I'd say usefulless.
On a serious note, I think that web browsers on consoles are very useful if you don't own a laptop as they mean that if you are lazy then you don't have to go to your computer. Although the standard isn't very good currently.
Useful if it's all you have, useless if you have a PC (or mobile, or basically any other form of connecting).
If they could get a browser that even rivals mobile phones then we might be talking, but going on the PS3 browser, pretty poor.
useless just like facebook and twitter being on consoles
consoles are suppose to be for games but leave it to greedy companies to lose sight of there fans and the meaning of GAMING
they're only useful if you console has a browser, if it doesn't, you will think it is not. :P
(frankly, I have hardly ever used the web browser on the PS3, but, it is nice to have the option.)
The year I didn't own a PC my PS3 was my de-facto web browser. It saved my butt alot of times. Alas, the experience is bare minimum but, it's not hurting anybody by being bad.
