Relic Entertainment (Dawn of War II),(this is Relic's first shooter game,they specialize in RTS games) really botched up this one.Its coming out the same day Resistance 3 and Gears of War 3 are coming out. Both console exclusives for the PS3 and 360 respectively and both AAA games. I just see this being a sleeper hit and wish they'd release it a few weeks sooner because the more the wait, the more they draw closer to the end of the year launch titles and this game will end up getting forgotten about.
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.
fixed
Are you talking about Space Marine or Kill Team? Because i'm having a hard time figuring out which. Kill Team came out on XBLA a couple weeks ago and Space Marine is the game out in September.
Dumb article written by someone who is obviously doesn't know much about what they are trying to talk about.
Kill Team = $10 downloadable game out now.
40K Space Marine = 3rd person shooter/action game coming out in September with a much bigger budget.
Why make noise about AAA competition like that means anything? Resistance is not a particularly strong selling series whether it is a AAA project or not. The last one barely sold about 2 million copies. Why it's mentioned with Gears of War 3 is anyones guess because both Gears of war titles hit 6 million + units in sales.
Also Resistance is an FPS where Gears of War and 40K Space Marine ate TPS. Both Gears of War and Resistance are exclusive to one console. Warhammer 40K is not. It's just a really dumb pointless comparison.
Ever hear of the Games Workshop 'Warhammer/40K brand? It's pretty much what Blizzard directly based most of their properties on. It's probably significantly more well known than Resistance ever will be and might be a bigger brand than Gears of War.
Warhammer/40K sells lines of novels, miniatures, comics, audio-plays, collectable card games, board games, rpg's, and video games including MMO's. That doesn't mean that it will necessarily sell big in the video game market (prior titles like Warhammer Battle March didn't, but Dawn of War and Dawn of War 2 both did quite well. Previously there was a fairly bad FPS called Fire Warrior, some Strategy video games like Chaos Gate, Shadow of the Rat, Rites of War, Space Crusade, and earlier video game versions of the board game Space Hulk. Blood Bowl is a Fantasy (American rules)Football board game based on the Warhammer universe.
The point is that Warhammer/40K is not some unknown thing just entering the marketplace for the first time.
its about warhammer 40,000: kill team, ie it is not going to make any big impression
