Some are some solid gusse work and others are pretty going be there, god or war 3 playable demo i can pretty much smell in the air, price drop and psp 2 for sure. But as of new IP games i gusse well just wait and see cant wait for E3 to come soon enough game on.

rockleex5469d ago

Free music store thing Sony showed off last year?

They showed it during the same presentation of the Video Store. But they said it won't release until this year.

Hopefully Sony shows it at E3 again. ^_^

FlameBaitGod5469d ago

Yeh they said it would be ready by April.

Naucious5469d ago (Edited 5469d ago )

lol @ "The PS3 Attitude correspondent gets on the wrong flight and winds up somewhere in Kentucky."

that was gutts lol

n e ways i hoping 5 things to be announced ( Besides the show case of games we already know about and firmware and updates that im sure they will announce)

I listed them in order from most likely being #1 and least likely #5

1. (New IP Games) especially that top secret game that they really have a tight lid on to be showcased in a trailer or something

2. A new prepherial PSP2 would be sick and well intergrated with the PS3 better than the PSP

3. A Music Store they would really make a killing if a music store came out, that would be something that the gaming industry hasn't touched and im sure many artist would take advantage of that, look at 50 Cent he put a whole list of new tracks on home

4. A price drop, its seems almost inevitable if they dont do this theres just way way way too much talk about it

5.A store just based on old PS/Ps2 games to download and re-live (far fetched I know)

other thoughts was a slim PS3, drop support of the PS2, B/C coming back in consoles... the list goes on and on

agree and disagree's welcomed

gregory2475469d ago

Arent you people getting tired of those playstation pizza promises?
You people keep getting disappointed again and again, and still the lot of you remain gullible.

Naar5469d ago

the more you cry the more iam happey :)

PatDH5469d ago (Edited 5469d ago )

Seriously.. just go away. Go hide in your dark room and cry.. probably be more productive then trolling on every sony based thread you can.

Foxgod5469d ago

I am not crying, its not me whos hoping for great announcements from Sony that always turn out to be fudge.

thor5469d ago

Nah Foxgod's right here. You're only setting yourself up for disappointment. If they announce 1 new game, that's great news, but you will feel disappointed because you expect so much more. Remember TGS last year? Exactly. People were even disappointed when Sony revealed GoW3 AND MAG in the same conference!

nycredude5469d ago (Edited 5469d ago )

Why dont you two go get a room and F*&k yourselves. All you two do is troll all the Ps3 news and have nothing but negative shiat to say. Go play games or something. Oh I forgot you have nothing to play. I feel sorry for you guys.

I have a question for both you trolls. What are the other consoles doing to service their fans? Who is working the hardest to please their fanbase? What games the other consoles have planned this year and next?

Quit the act kids cause you both look like butthurt, bitter, trolls.

Edit: It wouldn't be so painful for you if you guys just get with the program. Sony is only doing what they've always done with all their consoles. Utilizing their first and second party connections to provided many great games spanning many genres for all their fans. They did the same with Ps1, Ps2, and now Ps3 and psp.

cereal_killa5469d ago

Once again Fox why do you care you dont own a PS3. let the PS3 owners say what they want when it comes to E3 everyone has there hope of what they want to see there just like every 360 owner hopes to hell that M$ announces something for them to play this year besides Halo I certainly hope that M$ has something up there sleeve besides DLC and something that use to be an exclusive to Sony now multi-plat.

n to the b5469d ago

sonyfans shouldn't get c0cky just yet. how many times will u fall for the amazing exclusive announcement that doesn't actually get released for YEARS? or the cg trailer that sony pretends is in-game footage?

that being said, I predict sony > MS at E3 2009 by sheer weight of numbers. even if many sony exclusives won't come out for a while there r so many that it's ok to expect some will come in a more reasonable amount of time.

PatDH5468d ago

Oh.. you mean like that halo 3 trailer that they said was in-game footage? Or the screenshot of Gears 2? You mean like that?

Bigrhyno5469d ago

I would have disagree on MAG not making an appearance. We have every reason to believe MAG will be there. Recent screenshots have appeared, there are rumors that a beta will launch this summer, and the playstation blog included MAG in their pre-E3 questionnaire last week.

jessehaysfl5469d ago (Edited 5469d ago )

FFVII (psone)released on the day of sony E3 presentation.

Salta_nelas5469d ago

Every year the media hypes E3 as the best in years..lol.

Still, i believe it will be better than last year, but not better than 2007 when they shown KZ2 running. That was crazy, the whole interweb was in denail!

Both requels over 2 and 3? Clowns. Those are two of the most boring games I've ever played.

Snookies12163d ago

GoW 3 was amazing, but I personally hated just one thing. (This is on me alone, because I was dumb, lol.) I hated that you couldn't skip cutscenes on repeat playthroughs. I had to go back through the game a third time because I missed one trophy accidentally on my way to the platinum... The cutscenes were great the first go round, even the second... But the third was pretty agonizing.

Haven't played Ragnarok, but I still think GoW 4 is a wonderful game in its own right. Not sure how I would stack them up against each other honestly.

Monstieur163d ago (Edited 163d ago )

I don't consider the reboot part of the original series. The original series were high-skill games with combos and rewards for mixing things up.

solideagle162d ago

lol square, square and triangle is the only combo you needed. I have played all of them on the hardest difficulties...

Golfcoachh163d ago

Maybe I’m just old school but I just couldn’t get into the last two. Maybe it’s the slower action and more story telling but the original trilogy was by far my favorite.

Crows90163d ago

It's not that youre old school. They're different genres

JL2930161d ago (Edited 161d ago )

Me either, at all. It's just yap yap yap. They try to be a RPG's instead of being action games like they used to be.

Fluke_Skywalker162d ago

I'd put the two psp games over 3 in terms of story any day. But not over 2.

TheEnigma313163d ago (Edited 163d ago )

My favorite was part 2 and I think Ragnarok is better that 2018.

Shane Kim163d ago

The newer games are better imo.

ravens52163d ago

There is no worst. Except for Ascension, only cause I didn't play it lol. They are all masterpieces. 1,2,3, 2018 and Ragnarok. 1 of, if not the greatest video game franchise...besides MetalGear.

Snookies12163d ago

Oh wow, I actually forgot that Ascension even existed... I never played it either.

Crows90163d ago

I like ascension. It was different and some interesting combat additions.

darthv72162d ago

If you didnt play it, how could you call it the worst? Its not as bad as the media portrayed it. Honestly the worst are those flash games. they arent even considered true GoW games but in name only. At least Ascension is a real GoW game.

ravens52162d ago

Not saying it's a terrible game. Just mean it's at the bottom of my list. I played a little bit of it. Jus to me, compared to the other main games, it's last.

Fluke_Skywalker162d ago

Ascension is the only GOW game I never finished. Hated it.

Inverno163d ago

Can't agree, older games do so much more than the last two. More weapons, magic abilities, enemies are more varied, level design is also more aesthetically pleasing, and agree with those who say that they shouldn't have removed jumping. Was a time I'd agree, but those old games are so so much better, that they really should've looked into bringing into the reboot/sequels.

Crows90163d ago (Edited 163d ago )

If a game is good then a game is good. Doesn't matter what came before or what comes after.

Inverno162d ago

Of course it matters. If not for what what came before there wouldn't be an after. And if something is great before then you strive to make it just as good if not better, after. I personally don't think there's a fair way to judge the new with the old because the newer games are still essentially a reboot, and went a way different direction. But I still believe the old games did it better. I'm probably bias though since I've been going back to old games and have been finding that they lack all the annoying aspects that devs have shoehorned into new games to fluff out game time.

Crows90161d ago

@Inverno

Im not talking about the passage of time here. Im talking about individual pieces of software. If a game is good then it is good. Thats not a controversial statement. You can compare good with good...sure. But you still end up with good. Now if there is a bad game in the mix and you compare you do end up with some differentials between them...makes sense to compare and see where it went wrong.

But theyre different genres and styles which were individually executed very well.

And no. The new games are not a reboot. Theyre a new direction but simply a continuation.
Tomb raider was a reboot.

Inverno161d ago

The new games are definitely a reboot, and a continuation, it can be both which it is. And a good game might be good, but my point is that if there are things done better before it then there's plenty of room for critiquing and trying to make whatever comes after better rather than just good.

God of War 3 Remastered Has Sold 4 Million Copies To Date

God of War 3 Remaster has sold 4 million copies since its inception, making the franchise PlayStation's most profitable gamer merch brand.

purple101324d ago

Haha I still remember my brother playing the opening scene on ps3!!!

Yeh he had to put the controller down his heart was beating too fast trying to get past first 10 minutes. He said "it's too much". Best thing I've ever seen in gaming. Haha

robtion324d ago

A great game from an era before things went politically correct and gaming turned serious/'mature'.

It certainly wasn't concerned about upsetting or offending anyone and was more fun because of it.

The boss battles and set pieces still top most games released today.

SullysCigar324d ago

This game was absurdly good for it's time. The very definition of 'epic'.

robtion324d ago

Yes. The graphics were just ridiculous compared to most other games on the market at the time.

masterfox324d ago

I wished Ascension had the same treatment.

Heavenly King324d ago

Ascension SP had some things better than GOW3, and also some things worst than GOW3. But in general it was a really good game, for me it also deserves a REMASTER. The problem per se with the game is that most people were satisfied on how GOWIII ended, so Kratos got his revenge, so in order to rise the interest in the game how have to make it MORE EPIC is that the game did not had the epicness of fighting huge bosses (I guess due to technical difficulties,the game had actually a lot more colors (because the world is not dying like in GOWIII) so it is graphically more demanding that is my guess), but it compensated with having in general a more complex combat system, and an amazing soundtrack. but in general the game needed to be more epic than GOWIII somehow, and that did not happened, after GOWIII people had expectations through the roof. They should have waited and release it for PS4 so the vision of the game is not compromised.

My list of good and bad compared to GOWIII

GOOD: THE COMBAT
The combat was more elaborated, which allows you to be more immersed in the fights. Also every enemy was more resistant, even those that you could usually kill in 2-3 attacks in previous games. THE LAST BOSS is so damn epic!!!, but there is only one moment like this in the whole game.

GOOD: LESS QTEs
I love the fact that "cicle" in the new enemies (killing animations) are not QTEs, in Ascension they are mini-games on their own, depending on the enemy, making it more engaging. You had to dodge and hit when the window was open in order to eventually do the killing blow.

GOOD: The Soundtrack
it has the orginal trilogy musics, but with a new perspective since the game had a new composer. The ST was amazing also the new music written specifically for this game were badass

GOOD: The puzzles actually require you to think.

BAD: There are bad camera angles during the game, like zooming way too out of vista, and then swarming you with "light units" that like I said before had better AI and did not die of 2 attacks. those parts a few, but are a mess.

BAD: EMPTY ARENAS
Other thing that really annoyed me is that when you fight a sub-boss/heavy unit in a big arena; that ARENA WAS EMPTY, it was just you and against the medusa, or against the manticore. They should have zoom in into the action to avoid noticing the void scenario. I guess emptiness was because of the game having a lot more colors (because the world is not dying like in GOWIII) so it is graphically more demanding. My guess is that it was not possible technically, since in most of those cases you had huge vistas or intricate scenarios that needed to be rendered. The fact that the cerberus is smaller in this game disappointed me.

BAD: Only one BADASS EPIC moment, the others moments of the game were great but, they needed to set the bar even higher than GOWIII and they failed miserably.

BAD: The graphics did not improved much. I was GOWIII with more colors, and that's it.

So 4 good things against 4 bad ones. The problem is those 2 last BAD aspects are actually why the game was received so poorly. Everyone expects the next game to have a really BIG improvement in all aspects in contrast to the previous one, and that was not the case in ascension. And also GOW is the definition of EPIC, and that was not there neither. The jump on every aspect from GOWI to GOWII was huge being on the same console, and the jump from GOWII to GOWIII was humongous (obviously because a more powerful console). While the jump from GOWIII to Ascension is too little, and people expected more.

On it's own is a good game; but is not sufficient when GOWIII was released before it.

CrimsonWing69324d ago

I know this is unpopular opinion, but I prefer these over the new ones. I’m not saying the new ones are bad or anything, but they sort of get boring to me, whereas the older games were like non-stop roller coaster rides.

ChiefofLoliPolice324d ago

I love the new ones but I understand what you mean. The older ones had more action and was more arcady like.

MIDGETonSTILTS17324d ago

Ragnarok was not BIG at all… GoW1 had larger set pieces, and it was on ps2.

GoW 2018 had big moments in its own way…. Ragnarok abandoned these aspects though

robtion324d ago

I agree. It was just less serious and more fun.

victorMaje324d ago

One of my all time favourites.
