I've had no issues with my Playstation 1 or my 60GB Playstation 3 at all to this day. I'm not sure if the PS3 is the most reliable Playstation console, but I've always had very good experiences with my Playstation consoles, and they've been very reliable for me.
About 4 months after I bought my second PS2, it experienced disc drive problems and stopped reading games and DVD's, but after I sent it to Sony ONCE, I had no other problems with it, and that was back in 2003.
The game looks awesome. I don't know if God of War 3 is coming out in 2009 or not, but if it is, it's gonna be totally sweet to have 2 awesome Action Games Later this year on the PS3 because I'll be buying both.
That Statue of Liberty coming to life in that trailer reminded me of the first boss battle in God of War 2.
Dang, Sony definantly has a nice handful of studios with Exclusive game deals... Eat Sleep Play, Media Molecule, LightBox Interactive, and probably a few other studios I'm forgetting to mention.
LightBox Studios, another 2nd party developer to add to the ever growing list of Playstation developers. Just gotta love it!
With so many games now-a-days multiplatform, Exclusive 1st party and 2nd party games will definantly play a larger role than they have in the past.
Whatever Rockstar does, I hope that Rockstar keeps the exact same story telling element that the other 2 Max Payne games had, with the story being told like you are reading a Comic Book. That was very unique for it's time.
Just because there's different developers, doesn't mean you should be worried.... There was different developers for God of War Chains of Olympus, and it was just as EPIC and critically acclaimed as the other 2 God of War games by Sony Santa Monica.
Even if Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 didn't have Co-op, I still would be buying it because I love action games like Heavenly Sword and God of War, even if they only have Single Player gameplay.
And before some 360 fan comes in here saying "The PS3 fans were saying Ninja Gaiden 2 was a Flop" or whatever, I WAS NOT one of those people and I've never denounced Ninja Gaiden.
With Tecmo releasing these upcoming PS3 exclusives like Quantum Theory and Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2...
The author that wrote this has no proof whatsoever that Killzone 2 isn't selling. The only thing there is is just 2 days worth of sales from February's NPD. There's no Official European numbers whatsoever.
Just because Sony hasn't said anything about how well it's sold so far doesn't mean it's not selling, and It's a shame that this generation of gaming has revolved so much around the Sales of games rather than more about Games themselves. Until this generation of gaming I didn't...
"Kind of like what Sony did with the PS2. :D"
Ummmm.... NO. Microsoft released the 360 when they knew of it's faults before they even released it, and there's been numerous reports on it. Sony didn't do that with the PS2 and the PS2 was not rushed.
And the PS2 NEVER had a failure rate as high as the 360, and whatever problems the PS2 had, it didn't take Sony over 3 years to resolve the issue, and to this day things like the RROD and serious disc scratching ...
I think a Video Game Museum would be greatly beneficial to these new generation of gamers whose first console was a PS2,Gamecube, Xbox, or Dreamcast because they should know where Video Games came from and how games used to be back in the day, and just maybe they'll have a greater appreciation for Video Games today.
I'd love to visit this Museum, because I've never seen any console that came out before the NES in person before in my life.
"PhyreEngine has cut down Big Ant’s development time significantly while allowing us to fully harness the power of the PS3."
^^ Now THATS what I like to hear. Developers being able to utilize the PS3 and churn out games quicker.
With the release of this Engine as well as other tools, I hope that it ENDS the days of weaker PS3 versions of multiplatform games for good in the near future.... and yes, Bethesda, I'm looking at you. Bethesda should be ashamed of...
Gears of War 2 was announced at last year's GDC, and I think that Resistance 2 was announced at GDC as well last year.
GDC really isn't the place for big game announcements, but I can definantly see maybe 1 or 2 games from Sony and Microsoft being announced at GDC this year.
I do think that some of these gaming websites are hyping up GDC a little much though, because most of the real big announcements are saved for E3... I just hope that I don't wait all the way unti...
"I will never buy a wii, UNLESS they add HDMI to it "
Wii games aren't even HD, so why would Nintendo add an HDMI port too it?... that's like adding an HDMI port to the PS2 when it only plays sub-HD games.... an HDMI port on the Wii would be pretty much useless.
But Personally I wouldn't buy a Wii unless it was $179 at least. When the Wii first came out, I think $250 was a pretty good price for it, but now I don't think it's worth that price at all.
I wouldn't say that GT and GOW are the only "popular" Sony titles, but I do think that they are just some of the few Sony titles that are more commercialized.
Sony doesn't really have that many franchises that are equivalent to Microsoft's Halo or Nintendo's Mario in terms of sales potential, but that doesn't mean that those other franchises are "unpopular".
If you randomly asked someone on the street what they think of when they think of Xbox, mo...
The rumor of Sony bringing back the 40GB PS3 for $299 sounds possible to me... the only reason I would doubt the rumor is that I don't think Sony would be backtracking and going back to a smaller hard drive... but seriously, Sony has GOT to find a way to introduce a PS3 at a cheaper price, even if it means bringing back the 40Gig again.
"- The currently available PSP model will get a price cut too. The cost will be 119$. "
I don't think the PSP would be cut t...
The fact that Greenberg talked about PS2 sales declining Year over Year in February's NPD ( a console that's been out for 9 years, and to this day is the best selling console of all time), to me was clear signs of desperation, or just not thinking before speaking.
Greenberg should know that the PS2 is already past it's prime and is on it's last legs, and it was STUPID of him to even mention PS2 sales when the Original Xbox is no where to be seen.
Sometimes I wish tha...
Sony 1st party video games aren't "unpopular", it's just that a lot of Playstation exclusives appeal to a certain niche market.
Team ICO's next game will be huge, it will get tons of hype and I'm looking forward to it like crazy, but most likely it will sell about 2 million copies max. Is 2 million copies sold bad? No, it's not bad, it's just that a lot of Playstation exclusives aren't highly commercialized games, and most of them have never been... even in the PS2 era,...
"No surprise, Xbox360 is the superior console and RE5 is also best played on the Xbox360. "
Best played on Xbox 360? This is the first Resident Evil game being released on an Xbox console.
I'd say it's best played on the PS3 since past installments have graced Playstation consoles and many people used to playing RE are used to playing it with a Playstation controller.
It's no surprise that Sleipnir only has one bubble though, his posts are alw...
I was really surprised that the difference in sales for Street Fighter 4 between the 360 and PS3 was only around 40K in February's NPD. Considering the 360's installbase in the U.S. is like double that of the PS3's, PS3 software is selling pretty good.
FFXIII will most definantly sell more on the PS3, and it will sell more because of the PS3 exclusive Japanese release, it's just common sense to me.
My guess is that FFXIII will sell between 3-4 million copies in Japan al...
More than likely it won't be Exclusive game announcements.
Usually when GTTV has a "World Exclusive", they are showing new stuff or have some new info from games that are already announced.
A great example of GTTV's World Exclusives is the God of War 3 teaser trailer and the Uncharted 2 teaser trailer at the 2008 Spike TV VGA Award Show.
I agree, Crash Bandicoot: Warped was my favorite in the series as well... I just loved all of the new vehicles that were introduced, and the Bazooka was awesome!
I re-purchased both Crash Bandicoot 2 and Crash Warped last Summer because I misplaced them while moving a long time ago, and replaying those games again brought back some good memories.
"The player controls a nanotech, artificially intelligent lifeform known as FLY, who has the task of rescuing her creator Azadeh from a military base. The game will let players take either a stealth-based approach or a more action-oriented approach."
