Game Informer - In previous generations, the console you bought was the same console you'd have years later. You could buy add-ons or accessories, but the core system and the way it operated never really changed. It's a completely different situation now, as the console in your living room is most likely an entirely different beast than the one that sat on store shelves at launch. The ability to update hardware via the internet has extended the typical console life cycle, and we decided to take a look at the changes that the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 have gone through since launch.
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.
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."
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
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.
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
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
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.
Lord of the Rings: Battle for Middle-earth II was an intriguing and unique RTS title, that sadly suffered in its console port.
Was just thinking about this game and wishing I had a way to revisit it. The way EA scrubs these titles from existence once their licensing runs out is horrid.
Indeed. The game can still be played online on PC.
Xbox 360 players, though? Bang outta luck.
Why do I get the impression that some sites actually want to drive a wedge between 360 owners and PS3 owners?
Wow, I just read that "SHORT" attrocity of an article. I mean, that's IT? That's all you cover? REALLY Gameinformer?
nice looking headset from sony. should i have got one but i already got a spare bluetooth headset.
Come on this isn't July anymore games are actually out now.
Hits, Hits, Hits its what its alll about.
EDIT: This is interesting
"PlayStation 3 Then: Launch PS3 Consoles were backwards compatible with Ps2 and Ps1 titles."
Sony Now: knew there was tremendous demand so they come out with HD remakes every single year so they can profit off of it.
HD remakes/ BC is more popular on the PlayStation then the Xbox by far.
FROM ARTICLE
"Sony made headlines when they announced that the 60gb model of the Playstation 3 would cost $599.99 at launch, making it one of the most expensive consoles in history. A 20gb version with less features was also available at launch."
BS... the PlayStation 3 was NOT the most expensive console in history.
Sorry for the picture quality. Both the Neo-Geo and 3DO were higher priced at launch, and the picture also shows adjustments for inflation to show a comparison of launch $$$ vs 2012 $$$. This is common knowledge among up gamers, and gameinformer is big enough to not make such simple mistakes.
