A South Korean law banning children under the age of 16 from playing online after midnight has gone into effect.
The law, also known as the ‘Cinderella Law,’ was passed earlier this year in an attempt to curb gaming addiction in children.
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.
how will they know ?.. lol so lame
haha, both lame and funny.
What happens after midnight?
So lame. I am beginning to lose all hope for humanity if governments are allowed to make these kind of retarded decisions that should be NONE of their business... they do it all the time and they have done similarly unfair things in the past (banning perfectly safe drugs causing their available forms to become dangerous, fund organised crime, spread blood bourne diseases and risk criminal records for young people being one big example that most countries seemed to think was smart - then they use the state education system to lie about the dangers and the effects to the new generations. Another would be taxing fatty foods... what the hell - they are an essential part of a normal diet and it's carbohydrates and sugars that people choose to make themselves fat with) but honestly... I thought the world was moving forwards. Oh and they can never undo that mistake because it will be instilled as the correct way to do things within a generation or two, and any politician looking to correct the idiocy will be unable to make any progress because they will be labelled and the government would 'lose face' for going back on their decision.
edit:
waaaaaiiiittt..... why are that kid's hands on the arrow keys? They found the one bad korean gamer kid :O
What sucks even more is that these parents can't teach their kids how to set limits. If your child spends 8 hours a day in front of a computer or on a console, perhaps your parenting skills need a little bit of work?
If something like this ends up in the US, I'm seriously gonna question our government...
You would think Japan/China would have laws like this, but Korea?!
