Push Square investigates what the price of the PS3 Super Slim and Vita could reveal about the PlayStation 4. Will Sony build a more refined platform in order to achieve a lower price point? What would you like to see from the next PlayStation platform?
An excerpt: "Sony shocked attendees at its Tokyo Game Show press conference earlier this week by announcing the PlayStation 3 Super Slim. Unfortunately, the corrugated console itself was not the reason for open-mouthed attendees – that accolade was reserved for its flummoxing price-point. Indeed, as opposed to positioning the aging system at a previously untapped cost-conscious market, the company instead opted to go toe-to-toe with Nintendo’s new Wii U. In Japan you’ll be able to pick up one of Sony’s new machines for a meagre ¥20 (roughly 25 cents) less than Nintendo’s fresh arrivals, and the situation isn’t much better overseas. So, what does the announcement tell us about PlayStation’s future under a much more financially focused regime?"
Video games are no longer just a simple past time. Today's games are evolving into true works of art. Offering intriguing narratives, cinematic setpieces, and profound messages, games can entertain us for hundreds of hours.
I never got around to mass effect - I’m skeptical that it would hold up if I were to try it now
I would say it does. The combat is a bit shit for todays standards but everything else is great.
the first one is abit the odd one out but after u finished it, believe it it gets tremendously better and better
Originally launched in 2011, El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron is coming to Nintendo Switch, so It's time to look back at the original.
Still have my ps3 copies. Bought it at launch and another one when I found it cheap and in perfect condition about 10 years ago. I wouldn’t buy it on Switch but if they made a PS5 version I would. I still have one of my PS3 Fats hooked up so good to go either way.
Id play it again on the switch. I wished my 360 version was bc but this is still a good way to play.
The artist behind Fallout 4’s Deathclaw reveals just how bad things got back when Bethesda took over the series
People are stupid I get it. No one should feel unsafe,
But I think they need to talk about why they cut so many corners during the development process and why none of their games ever look current. And why they think all of this is okay while they charge full price.
As much as Bethesda deserve criticism, that's not really relevant to the reveal of Fallout 3 in 2007.
Usually, you have good comments but this isn't one of them. It just rides the mob. We can do both condemn the actions and not let them use it for other things.
I can say I received a death threat and everyone needs to shut up. People are not honest and will use horrible things to their advantage.
No problem. I'm not here to convince you. I'm only stating an actuality. What your words do if we look at them like events.
I have been doing a lot of surveys lately that are directly related to the PS4 and the NextBox as of late so they are gathering a lot of information on what fans are wanting in the next consoles. Because I can't say everything one question did involve a possible bundling of an handheld unit and console unit. So they are both finish for consumer feedback on the next consoles even though a lot might be predetermined already and them wanting to know if people would want this. There was also some questions about purchase once play anywhere kind of like what Amazon does with there content.
I don't understand what the heads of Sony are thinking they could have brought the 12gb ps3 here and be in a much better position to beat the wii u this Christmas. I believe Sony will no longer want to put out a system that's puts them at a loss but will still put out a system that is more powerful. They made a statement saying that there is no need to be first they will put out a system when the technology advances and is profitable. Sony also can't afford to come in late to the game either. It will be exciting to see what the wii u and ps4 bring. Long live play.
With Sony not going to the $199 price point with this new PS3 Slim model even though it's cheaper to produce, I think it's a sign the PS4 might not come out in 2013 after all. Pretty amazing that this far into this console gen, the PS3 hasn't hit the $199 mark yet with it's 3rd hardware revision, and Microsoft's 2nd cheapest console is still $299.
It just looks like neither (especially Sony) is in a rush to leap into Next Gen and want to squeeze as much out of this Gen. as possible. There's still some pretty great looking games coming later this year and in 2013, so I wouldn't be disappointed if the PS4 didn't come out in 2013.
bad really bad
Figures. Sony has shown us so much in every conference for the whole year and of course what do they do? Harp on about the one that didn't show off as much as people thought it would. Also I would love to ask what happened to the constant 'Japan's market is old hat and pointless, no one really cares about Japaneses developers, Western games are better' blah blah blah. Now suddenly the Japanese market is the most important for Sony again. They practically showed us so much during the year. But because they had nothing left really for the TGS it means it's time to kick them in the ribs again. when ever Sony is up everyone backs off but the moment they are down it's time to pile up on them.The blew us away at Gamescom but suddenly TGS is important again because this conference wasn't their best.It reminds me of the people that cheer when PSN has lots of content and boo when it doesn't. Sony's fanbase seems to be mostly made up of fair weather friends. Time to get out the doom measuring stick again
