"With the addition of online-enabled functions like video streaming, Web browsing, and social networking, game consoles are increasingly becoming all-purpose entertainment hubs. The results of a Nielsen study released this week provide evidence of that, as the media-monitoring firm determined that some consumers actually spend more time with a console's extended functions than they do playing its games."
CGM Writes: While we were over at PAX East, we were able to sit down with Goichi Suda (Suda51) and talk about the upcoming remaster of Shadows of the Damned
Ibrahim from eXputer: "The Medal of Honor franchise was once the crown jewel of FPS war games, later defeated by the tides of time and poor development."
They tried to turn it into Call of Duty and it killed it off. They should reboot it and go back to it's roots. But they'd ruin it with online-only/multiplayer style bullshit so why bother? I have very fond memories of these games, but this series can stay dead as far as I'm concerned.
Was literally just thinking of this game the other week with the secret nut cracker mission and the shooting Bismarck dog lmao. Loved these games as a kid
I have fond memories of playing the Medal of Honor Breakthrough MP Demo. It had two maps and custom servers. Living on campus, I had it downloaded on one of the PC Lab servers so I could access it on any computer at the university. Joined a clan and made friends that I still keep in touch with today.
"Deep Silver, Dambuster Studios, and PLAION are today very happy and excited to announce that they have just released the second expansion (“SoLA”) for "Dead Island 2" (the said expansion is availableright now for PC and consoles via digital stores)." - Jonas Ek, TGG.
When i'm not playing i'm usually watching movies i tend to buy movies alot not from the psn store gonna go watch Despicable Me in a few min.
Edit:@Digital Raptor your right how could i forget free web browsing.
*Waits for fanboy spin*
But really I find myself on the web browser, watching movies or browsing the PSN store when I'm not gaming. The PS3 is a multimedia device, so why not use all of its benefits!
It needs better online to get people playing more, PS3 may have a lot of games but they are all single player and last 8 hours max and are never touched again.
Sony needs to start making some additive multiplayer exclusives like Halo or Gears. Not just 8 hour rents.
@scar20
The thing is you are in the minority, most of those games are dead online. COD seems to be where all the PS3 online shooter fans goes, same with the 360. But there is still a quite large amount who still play Halo and Gear as well.
Is that a bad thing? Is it a bad thing that Sony has a system so capable and so flexable? Is it a bad thing that the average consumer wants to do more than just "GAME"?
This is why the media needs a muzzle. They plant seeds that hurt the industry.
I mean, how about this headline -- "More than 13 hours a day are spent away from your home"
It's stupid. It makes no sense. So, now, because I spend more than 13 hours away from my home does that mean I don't like being there? Or does it mean I like being there but have other things going on? Things like this are just counter productive.
When i'm not gaming i'm watching movies or tv shows on my ps3 so i guess you could say I spend more time using it as a video player than gaming but i game on it usually around 2-4 hours a day. My xbox is mainly used to stream movies from my PC but thats because it's in the living room and I don't have cable so my bro usually just watches movies/tv on it and I game on it a couple times a week.
