Sony has today confirmed what everyone had been expecting: a new PS3 model for $299. But how much will this cheaper pricing structure benefit Sony and stimulate the PS3 marketplace? IndustryGamers contacted several analysts to get their take, and it seems most agree that Sony will finally see a much needed boost in PS3 sales.
"I think a price cut is key to stimulating sales, especially in this economy. It can be really hard to justify a premium price when you have two strong competitors with very solid systems. At a lower price I think there is a great deal of potential to get a lot of the PS2 consumers that were setting on the fence to jump in," DFC Intelligence's David Cole told us. " And there are a lot of those consumers out there....research shows the PS2 is still one of the most popular systems in terms of usage. We had actually built into our forecasts going two years back a drop to $300 in fall of 2009 and at the time our models showed a strong spike in sales because of the drop. Now factoring in the recession it may not be as strong but it is still a net positive for the whole industry when hardware is at mass market prices."
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.
While the mainstream media always sees things turning in favor of the hero, here are 6 games that own being a bad guy.
Pretty much all of these games listed are based around a morality system you don't have to be bad and you don't have to be good.
It seems to have left out some real amazing games like red dead redemption 1/2,ass effect and true crime la/ny
Armored Core VI?
Ok, I'm really missing something here. Just beat chapter 3 earlier this evening, unlocked A-rank Arena fights. I'm not seeing or sensing any branching paths or morality system and I've done every side mission and arena fight available to me up to that fight.
Is something big coming soon to branch the story?
No mention of Grand Theft Auto? Saints Row (original trilogy), Manhunt? Also The Suffering (depending on the ending you get).
Short Answer
Yes
Why not?
I think it's going to make a really big difference.
After the slim was announced.
