PS3: more "home entertainment" than gaming system?

Apparently many still think so including Heavy Rain maker – David Cage. I am rather taken by this as I bought my PS3 purely with gaming as the main purpose, secondly for it’s Blu-Ray abilities. The Playstation 3 is a stunning piece of kit when it comes to media too, with the ability to tweak setting till your heart desires. But as a core gamer, it still remains primarily a gaming device… in my home at least.

"The games are just the start," hails Sony. So it's true, more home entertainment than anything.

goldensfree4967d ago (Edited 4967d ago )

b/r the best online gaming network on a console for free n so much more

dont mean you gotta hate

the quotes taken a bit out of context 2 imo he certainly never said the ps3 was just a b/r player...

besides if you've played kz2 like you say youd know a game can b a cinematic experience rivalling that of any movie.

Bereaver4967d ago

The problem with the question is, What is home entertainment? Doesn't anything that entertains you at home mean home entertainment? lol

Anton Chigurh4967d ago (Edited 4967d ago )

They made everything possible and soon we will see MKV support, NTFS , Emulators and Free G@mes too.... oh we already got that Feature lol.

nveenio4966d ago

Honestly, my PS3 plays move movies than games, but I still consider it a game system. My collection of awesome titles (Uncharted 2, inFamous, KillZone 2, Little Big Planet, ModNation Racers, etc.) reinforce that fact. There are few movies that can give me as much enjoyment as these games, and that's saying a lot for Sony and the devs that power them.

The PS3 may seem expensive at first but with so many features like Blu-Ray,Internet Browser,3D movies, video downloads, Awesome games and more it's actually a steal Thus the phrase: It only does everything:)

stevenhiggster4967d ago

It's not even expensive anymore anyway! And like you say it is a steal for what you get for your money, even more so now.

shoddy4967d ago

that's why ps3 worth your money.

-Ikon-4967d ago

and why is this a bad thing? It still plays games and does many other things.. How is this NOT a PLUS?? You people are weird...

Dramscus4967d ago

? as if they are mutually exclusive...i'd say OVER ALL its a home entertainment system, but its equally a GAMING system.

thats like asking "is a computer more a calculator or a word processor?!!??!?!?!? - ITS BOTH"

chazjamie4967d ago (Edited 4967d ago )

re: Movements comment:
Hmm, fair enough. But I am not sure I would have gone with that marketing/pr strategy. I would try and push it on the gaming side way more than the rest.

goldensfree4967d ago (Edited 4967d ago )

its basically an interactive movie so it makes sense they stress the cinimatic aspects so saying the ps3's formidable entertainment is an asset to his game when asked in the context of this interview is to b expected. Taking it n turning it into this "PS3: more "home entertainment" than gaming system?" is just shody journalism.

Sony themselves are pushing games like mad XD

unless your seeing b/r sony ads where your at id say its been all about the games for the past couple year at least.

IRetrouk4967d ago

its got the best GAMES this gen, everything else is a bonus.

M4ndat0ry_1nstall4967d ago (Edited 4967d ago )

I'm not sure, this picture might help answer that question though.

Meisadragon4967d ago

check the last two goty games in gamespot 2008 and 2009 :)

Omega44967d ago

Lol, yep that pretty much says it all.

"It also plays games".

IRetrouk4967d ago (Edited 4967d ago )

yep it plays games like the xbox, and then does plenty of things that xbox dosnt omega,

Information Minister4967d ago

There are no Kinect articles on the PS3 channel. Go away troll.

Blitzed4967d ago

I saw a similar ad for the 360:

Instead of 'Sony' it of course said 'MS', instead of 'Blu ray' it said 'Halo', and instead of 'games' it said 'Gears'!

Fanboyish, I know. I just wanted to make Omega4 and M4ndat0ry go and start cutting themselves again.

Meisadragon4967d ago

A troll thats what you are a TROLL.

dredgewalker4967d ago

@Omega

It also plays games......yup I agree. Even if you say it's a blu-ray player first and console second why would it even bother me since I can watch hi-def movies and play AAA games. Anyway you spin those words it's still a win-win for me since I can do tons of things with my PS3. Oh look, I can make the PS3 look good without bashing the 360.

Bell Boy4967d ago (Edited 4967d ago )

Hey Mr 1 Bubble

Troll a system that has the best library of all time. Even when the fanboy websites try it's not so effective(kotaku, gametrailers etc.). That's an amazing feat when you have fanboy journalist yet still come out on top.

duplissi4967d ago

i wouldnt go as far as to say it has the best library of all time.
it definitely has some of the best games ive ever played but so do most systems.

Tales Of Graces Ƒ Retro Review – Holding Out For a Hero

Gary Green said: Namco Bandai heard the call of many fans asking for the PlayStation release of Tales of Graces which was originally released seemingly exclusively for the Wii back in 2009. If you’re acquainted with the Tales series then Graces f won’t be something entirely new to you, yet if you’re a newcomer then you’ll find a plethora of gameplay mechanics and nuances that distinguish this series from other JRPGs. While the game finds itself following the traditional archetype of JRPGs, such as a somewhat clichéd story, Graces has something to offer to both veterans and newcomers alike.

It's A Crime That There's No Sleeping Dogs 2 Yet

Huzaifah from eXputer: "Sleeping Dogs from the early 2010s is one of the best open-world games out there but in dire need of a resurgence."

LG_Fox_Brazil2d ago

I agree, I consider the first one a cult classic already

isarai2d ago

You say "yet" as if it's even possible anymore. United Front Games is gone, along with anyone that made this game what it is

CrimsonWing691d 22h ago

That’s what happens when games sell poorly. And I’ve seen people wonder why people cry when a game sells badly… this is your answer.

solideagle1d 21h ago

Majority of the time it's true but if a company/publisher is big (in terms of money), they can take a hit or 2. e.g. I am not worried about Rebirth sales as Square will make Remake 3 anyway but if FF 17 doesn't sell then Square might need to look for alternative. <-- my humble opinion

Abnor_Mal1d 20h ago

Doesn’t Microsoft own the IP now since they acquired Activision?

DaReapa1d 19h ago

No. Square Enix owns the IP.

Abnor_Mal1d 17h ago

Oh okay, Activision owned True Crime, but when that didn’t sell as intended it was canceled. Six months later Square Enix bought the rights and changed the title to Sleeping Dogs.*

*As per Wikipedia

boing11d 20h ago (Edited 1d 20h ago )

Sleeping Dogs was a sleeper hit back then. It was fantastic. It actually still is. Would love a sequel to this, or at least a revive of True Crime series.
