2007 is nearly over and a number of websites have listed their predictions for the console war in the upcoming year. MicroTechXP has taken it upon themselves to diagram what Sony needs to do in order for the Playstation 3 to "catch up" with its competition as early as 2008. These things are listed in random order. Hit the link to review.
Gary Green said: You’ll be forgiven if you haven’t heard of the Ar Tonelico trilogy. The previous two games arrived so late in the PS2’s life-cycle that they simply went unnoticed. While most were tinkering with their shiny new PS3s, Ar Tonelico: Melody of Elemia and Ar Tonelico II: Melody of Metafalica were being ‘returned to sender’ by your local Game stores. Luckily, you won’t need to have played them to understand and appreciate this third and final chapter, Qoga (pronounced k-yoga) tells the story of a racial war between humans and Reyvateils, a breed of biologically produced female cyborgs capable of reproduction, while still having a digital mind.
Oh my god. I kinda wish this would get a remaster on PS5, it would be awesome. One of my favorite games on PS3.
That and 3D Dot Game Heroes. It's a shame that some stuff is stuck on PS3.
Ar Tonelico 3 is good I still prefer the first AT game. The music is solid in all the games and Akiko Shikata is a very talented singer bringing life to the game. Only annoying part is well I find is Saki I always choose Finnel or Tyria. KOEI so needs to HD remaster the franchise along with Ar Nosurge and Ciel Nosurge since it never came to North America. I would day one the Ar Toneliceo games and Ar Nosurge if they were remastered.
I still have the limited edition of Qoga unopened. Unfortunately it never went up in value like I had hoped all these years.
Gary Green said: We have a juxtaposition of 2D and 3D visuals, flashy turn-based combat, quirky anime characters with cheeky dialogue with plenty of partial nudity; Yes, this is a Compile Heart JRPG. Whilst the engine is borrowed from Hyperdimension Neptunia mk2, Mugen Souls is more of a Disgaea spin-off. It’s not a strategy RPG as such, it merely sits within Disgaea’s ever-expanding universe (Multiverse? Netherverse? Your guess is as good as mine). You won’t find cameos though, since Mugen Souls is a franchise which aims to stand on its own two feet.
Huzaifa from eXputer: "2008 was home to the likes of Call of Duty: World at War, Dead Space, GTA 4, Far Cry 2, Left 4 Dead, and many other hits, which is outright remarkable."
Just about every year in the 7th generation was great and something we most likely won't experience again.
2009 for example had Assassin's Creed 2, Batman: Arkham Asylum, Dragon Age: Origins, Uncharted 2, Halo 3: ODST, Killzone 2, Borderlands, Bayonetta, and Demon's Souls to name a few.
a 9 m/9.5m consoles sold by the end of 31st december ,2007 is definitely on cards.
as for 2008 ---SONY will rule for sure
THE GOD OF ALL GAMES ---FF13 will be unleashed in 2008 along with MGS 4.
KZ2 shunned the skeptics which doubted its graphical fidelity . KZ2 would also shun the skeptics that doubts it gameplay too
RESISTANCE 2,WARDEVIL and MOTORSTORM 2 are all coming your way in 2008.
@lawman
keep dreaming BUT dont forget to witness the FF13 and MGS4 onslaughts this year
BTW do watch out for GT5's record breaking spree in EUROPE especially in 2008
LOL people are so short sighted... the PS3 will do better in 2008 but it doesnt HAVE to ctach up in 2008... there are MANY years after that.
I do know one thing... if u have a Playstation 3 in the years 2008 and 2009... you are gonna have a sh!tload of fun. No one even talks abut the 2 Rockstar Exclusives... gonna be HUGEEEE
"There is nothing to worry about because in the end PS3 owners will get the last laugh."
Best quote ever. And its so freaking true. I know it is. So does Sony. And Microsft haha.
I think sony need's to advertise more, especially with upcoming games, such as LBP, Killzone 2 and MGS4...
This article may be the single most grammaticaly incorrect piece of writing ever created. There may be some great points in there, although I will never know, as I gave up since poor writing tends to reflect poorly on one's opinion.
" Now, a game like Lair, that was a great game at E3 2007, when it was released it looked great (except for the occasional framerate drop), the controls felt like they where just thrown in there so you can maneuver your dragon with SixAxis (although some people got into the controls after a while, most did not)..."
Nothing brings credibility to an article quicker than ridiculously poor grammar...nothing.
People need to stop acting like they're experts on everything. Sony knows what they're doing.
