How did Sony fare in 2012? In this new episode, we look at Sony’s performance this year and peer into the future of the company. (10:39)
GB: "With this feature, we talk about 15 games on the PS3 that should be remade for the PlayStation 5."
Little Big Planet 1 and 2 deserve a mention, IMO.
Good call on Motorstorm, a game released 2 gens ago but still looks and feels so good. Motorstorm 2 and Motorstorm RC were gems as well. They followed up the Motorstorm games with the brilliant Driveclub, which still manages to put modern racing games to shame. Imagine closing down a studio as talented as that ... (!) Incredible.
A little 'arcade-gem' back then was The Last Guy, a top down 'follow the leader' snake-like game where you had to find and lead survivors to safety during an alien invasion, on terrible looking 'Google-earth' maps. Graphics were poor, even back then, but would love that same gameplay with modern maps and graphics.
Street Fighter 4, once it finally had a full roster, was quite good, but it was always an ugly game, sadly. Imagine bringing that back while using the current SF6 engine.
Some good choices here and Resistance: Fall of Man is my most wanted PS3 remaster/remake. Not sure about their claim it was Sony's answer to Gears of War though.
I’d rather have sequels than remakes. Look at Dead Space 1 Remake. Would’ve been cooler if we got a new entry and it failed with sales sealing the fate of a sequel rather than just replay the same game and it fail in sales and we never get a new entry.
Remakes are great for things like PS2 and earlier games to really get a crazy new graphical coat, but I think we should ease up on all these remakes and actually do sequels.
I rather they remaster and port over to PC and current gen all the games permanently stuck on PS360. Those games don't need remakes, they need to be given a chance to live again outside of their confined consoles and then give a few proper sequels. Like Sleeping Dogs, Motor Storm, LA Noir, should get another entry.
Sony has recruited Bungie's head of revenue Jaremy Rich to head up its live-service gaming division, Rich has announced on social media.
Please do not put Destiny’s monetization into Sony’s first party games. The monetization is what’s driving players away from Destiny.
I mean, this person made some pretty bad decisions at Bungie. I hope they've learned from them because I definitely don't see those type of ideas as good for PlaySation in general.
Ps5 gamers in 2023 seemed to play more live service types of games, so regardless to how people feel about them, numbers don’t lie and Sony is going where the money is. I mean look at the excitement around Helldivers2, people are showing that they want live service games.
How do you kill a franchise that already been killed?
Destiny’s grind, cash-in-on-playbass-cha-Ching, and pop-culture-insertion mainstream-me-too bs totally killed any rep Bungie had. Sony/Bungie, if you are doing this to ward-off players, it’s already working.
Sony has patented to add multiple dialogue modes to let players switch between how many conversations with NPCs they want in the game.
Sony is like the only ones outta the 3 that has atuff like like this pop up changing thing in ways.
I don't think the vita is dead... but sony needs to get the third parties on board with the thing. Sony has published some great games for vita (gravity rush, Uncharted, etc) But the 3rd party stuff has been ranging from meh to abysmal
AC3:Liberation, COD declassified, were supposed to be huge system sellers, and they were not very good games
It's been a poor year for Sony.
The Vitas sales have been dismal...I honestly don't think it has a place in today's market; It will sell under 20m units imo.
The PS3 is doing well though (in comparison to the Wii and X360, but it's still down YOY).
what do you expect when sony is killing themselves. there own hardware is cannibalizing each other.
I'm not ignoring it but as a gamer I don't care about all this sales talk.
"Oh Sony hasn't got good sales" blah blah blah
Honestly they provide us with good games and support for the PS3 and they at least try to fix things they've done wrong...they learn from their mistakes. Remember when it used to be about support/games not how much money a company is making.
I knmow the PSV is running into a few problems but the market is changing, especialy in this day and age with mobile games on the app store becoming a bigger thing.
Hopefully they'll grab third party developers attention and they'll put some effort into their PSV games. I really think Sony need an Animal Crossing styled game and a game that can compete with Mario Kart/Pokemon. Maybe they can get that Resident Evil PSP game back in development for the PSV, old school RE though.
Vita is dead already........ At least Nintendo saw 3DS wasn't selling and decided to drop the price drastically. Sony is just like, 'screw it shit, let it burn'. No one is going to make software for a system that sells like shit.
