Planet Ivy investigates why it's taken Sony and Microsoft so long to release their next generation of consoles.
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.
This could be fun as they make great tables. Go big or go extinct. Prime your senses for a neural handshake and step into the cockpit of a Jaeger. It is on you to cancel the apocalypse when Pacific Rim Pinball comes to Pinball FX on May 16.
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.
"the current generation consoles have aged gracefully. "
I agree. The ps3 has aged very well, and you can get a 360 on the cheap, the value in that is unmatched ( if you only play third party titles its all you need really). I couldn't watch 3D movies or play GOW, Motorstorm, Star Hawk, Uncharted, ect, ect,,, if it weren't for the ps3. Sure better graphics are always welcome, but graphics isn't worth the price difference between next gen and my ps3. That's why all my friends on pc boast about, (teh grafix), which doesn't make sense cause I catch them playing games and running SNES emulators that look like garbage all the time. LOL!
It's all about the price now. I'm totally comfortable with buying a system that's no more than $300. If next gen cost more, I will definitely be riding out my ps3 longer than I anticipated.
I'm stickin with my PS3 till the PS4 is the same price as the PS3 is now.
i wont be able to help myself i will have to buy my ps4 at launch knowing it will be epic goodness. I bought my 80 gig fat for 500 hundred plus and dont regret it one bit because of all that it offered at the time which would have been more expensive it bought seperate at the time (ex blu ray 3d player, wifi, etcc....) Not to mention it lasted me up until a few months ago of non stop gaming since launch. It was well worth it!!!!!!!!
I feel no rush to jump into the next gen just yet, but I probably said that last gen, that is until I saw Gears of War, Resistance:Fall of Man, and Motorstorm in person.
Where are these judgments coming from?
Why can't Sony and Microsoft just continue to add more things to the Console that we already have? Just because there was a certain timeline that many people think Sony and Microsoft should follow through with doesn't mean they will.
If both systems are both excelling, let them continue to.
The Wii didn't have anything else going for them so they HAD to release a new System
