I'm the staunchest Sony defender around (within the realms of non-fanboy sanity), but the ommission of a decent internal memory, I believe Sony have doomed themselves to failure....
Either they should have included 32gig standard in the machine, or they should be packaging a 16gig (or even bettter 32gig) card with the unit.
They have screwed over there fanbase by offering up yet another confusing memory card system..
I mean, plenty of people ain'...
WOW....I really didn't expect this....Whoever from Sony thought this was an intelligent marketing strategy needs to be lining up in the unemployment line.
These are THE ONLY 3 MAJOR retailers in regards to department store type shopping here in Aus (disregarding high end like Myers & David Jones....which also weirdly weren't even mentioned).
I'm thinking these 3 retailers refused to stock them this early, due to the fact that there is not...
If true it would be stupid, as these are our three biggest & really only retailers that aren't high end. David Jones & Myers are the more yuppy-ified retail stores here (that charge way too much for most stuff).
I saw posters for vita in kmart today, whilst have a look in there, so it's total BS at least as far as kmart goes.....Now I bet I could walk into Big-W & they would be the same....The only store that may not stock them straight away, due to ther...

Unchartered 3 looked waaaaay better in 3D than it did on the 360. 3D could never look bad mate, there's just varying degrees of how good it does look. I would never complain about a game being 3D, as I have a 3D tv, & want the tech used, & for it to become more commonplace.
I had a mate tell me Batman:AC looks ordinary in 3D....but I bet it looks better than it does in 2D.
I'm the 1st one to admit that 3D could be used ...
Near every franchise sells better on 360 when multiplat....Whether 3d or not. Not enough people own 3d tv's to make it substantial. On the other hand, the damage that the inferior Bioshock 1 did on PS3 as opposed to the far better 360 version, is what is more likely to stick in the mind of the majority of gamers that don't own 3d technology, & either own both consoles, or only own 360.
PS3 version needs more than 3D to save it from being outsold like the ent...
If making your campaigns increasingly shorter, not making barely any changes, & definately none of any relevance or consequence is the new innovation....then this Activision puppet is right.
And as for the Skylanders shite.....that isn't the type of innovation that gamers want from games.....we want the actual gameplay mechanics & such to be innovative, the enviroments,etc,etc.
Play Starhawk if you want innovative....that game already shou...
They kill off too many of my fave developers, like they have already done with cambridge & london studios, then they will lose even more of there fanbase.
They need to bring back the 3rd person platformer that has all but been killed off & enjoys massive success on Wii, both critically & comercially.
Marketing has been all but absent since the PS1 heyday.....Sony thought a couple of brilliant, but artsy fartsy commercials could carry them th...
To get more back on track & finish, yes, MS are revealing new kit this year.....they will be the only one who hasn't by year end if they don't, so whether you believe it to be fact they will reveal at E3 2012 or not.......it is only the actual event this year that is in question as to a reveal for both PS3 & 360, as both are gonna be denied by MS & Sony something hardcore, as unlike Ninty who were over anxious to reveal, due to all but stagnant Wii sales, PS3 & 360 bot...
Say what you want, the fact is that the naysayers won't believe this until E3, or some maybe MS specialized event THIS YEAR. Quote me on this, both MS & Sony are announcing there new gear this year.
If not, can you imagine the sales gap between Sony's & MS's console from Nintendo's......the Wii outsold them both by 10-20 million units, when released well after 360 (12-18mths), & a month or so after PS3......it also sold for a ridiculous price f...
You gooses putting the guy down for liking Socom 4 best, should just go away & spank it over your Socom 2 case...Now on saying that, I also heavily favour Socom 2 over the rest, although I do also enjoy Socom: Confrontation & find it the closest experience to S2 available on PS3.....now on saying that, I also enjoyed MAG & hope a bigger better sequel is still in the works, & upon saying that, I really also love Socom 4 for different reasons to all the above.....
And @ Forza is king....Mate, you hail the 4th sequel in car racing game as the be all & end all of racing games (when Codemasters have that titles with Dirt 3).......then you proclaim that LBP2 is a been there & done that affair.....Well, shoot me down if I'm wrong but, I smell something off.....& it smells like MS-fanboyism.....as critics all round hailed LBP2 for being a big improvement over the original. I mean, did you think it was gonna transmorph into another genre.......
Three years to late...maybe....
But better late than never......and if it can be as good as Crash Kart was for PS1, then brig it on.....I don't care if it's a launch title for PS4.....But all I say is, it's 6 years to late for any platformers to release.....but for f%$cks sake, bring back the damn genre that started this whole console thing....bring back the only genre that has defined almost all consoles, & definately any console that has been market leader.
Well, a good platformer don't work like that....there is no fake ass "kool" appeal to these games.....they are shearly played for fun & total immersion....these games get you hooked & lost within there awesomely colorful worlds.....& when they end, you almost shed a tear in sadness that it has all ended so quickly, then you see see your hours played & 50+ hours comes up, & it's like holy f$#k, that went quick. Then your counting the days until the sequel...
I remember I loved the 1st game & how it stuck to it's platforming roots & was truly an outstanding game in general...but no.2 & thereafter were dissapointing, as ND seemed to be trying to compete with GTA & Ratchet....Now for me, Jak was never built to wield guns & such, & the camera & controls were not made for gunplay, so the series suffered for my part, I barely played part 2 as it was boring GTA wannabe material, with Ratchet envy. So Ratchet became my fa...
Not bad for mine either....Single player campaign has provided me with some fun.....just a shame the game got so slammed that it ensured it would sell hardly anything, thus having no online community whatsoever. I never got to try online & never will, I would assume.
Of course the old CEo wasn't aiming for last....But the old CEO is the dickhead responsible for canning games like The Getaway 3 & 8 Days, & delegating those developers in Cambridge Studios & London Studios to making f#@king Singstar shite & Home turd...This moron of epic proportions wasn't aiming for last & to fail, but beacause of his lack of knowledge about gaming & gamers, he was making all the right moves to dominate the last position. He was not fit for ...
Instant sacking of the turd/s who quashed Getaway 3 & especially 8 Days....what an idiot to cancel the phenominal looking 8 Days when the game had SOOOO much internet buzz & hype. What dumbass got 2 of Sony's best inhouse studios in London Studios (Of Getaway series fame) & Cambridge Studios (of Medievil series fame) & f$#ks them right up, by cancelling there current & in 8 Days case, well into development, AAA games, to assign them to tedious Singstar games & Hom...
Awesome playing & looking little game for a PSN downloadable title, & beta plays awesome. And the twitch based, fast, fluid, smooth, controls & gameplay are topnotch.
I just hope the final release has standard DM & Team DM, as nearly every fps shooter coming out on the market lately either drops competative online play for co-op, or they have every kind of mode I don't wanna play & omitt DM & sometimes Team DM....It even urks me that many of...
Forget a name change......The only change Sony need to make, no scratch that, as they probably don't even need to cchange this....but it's great they are & could be a smart decision, & that is the 4...they are not going with PS4 apparently, which could be a great little move, provided they incorporate a smart new name that is better than bloody Vita...which I guess isn't that bad compared to the Wii or Wii-U.
Playstation name will stay around another f...
I love my PS3 & PSP & feel they are awesome value for money...But as a pretty level headed Sony fan (don't mistake fan for fanboy), I think they are screwing up royally with PSVita....
I'm Australian, & to read on here that Target, Big W & Kmart aren't interested in stocking PSVita means that in the current economy & climate that they do not expect to sell a handheld with such a high end price tag.
Sony have alienated themselves from these r...
