The End of the Console War: AAAs, Motion Control and Other Tragedies

"As much as I loathe the fact that Bioware had to bow down to fan reactions and come up with a new set of endings to appease those who were disappointed by Mass Effect 3's original climax, one particular ending piqued by interest. Of course, it was the middle road, the choice of Synthesis, where Shepard sacrifices himself to make both synthetics and organics like him. This thus creates a universal race that is equal in every way - the final stage of evolution, the end of the Reapers' harvesting and the unification of entire solar systems."

I didn't really like how this article was written. It just felt long and confusing. Am Im the only one who thinks this?

Anyway I think you're wrong. Next gen, we are going to see the same stuff we saw this gen. Im positive of this.

I disagree it didn't fell like that to me since I didn't read it.

The fact that there is a consle war proves that the PS3 and 360 are on par with one another.

They only way to end this console war is if Sony or MS release something diffrent and if one of them is way more powerful.

If the 720 and PS4 are almost the same then we will have another 10 years of PS3 vs 360 to look forward to.

Edit: My hope this that MS HEAVLY integrates PC like features on the 720 and the PS4 uses the cell 2.

I'm already on the fence whether I should invest in a next-gen console or just upgrade my PC (or buy a new one).

If MS makes the 720 more "PC-like" then it pretty much means there's no reason for me to invest in another console. Exclusives just aren't enough to warrant that kind of investment.

If they want to get gamers back who have fled to PC because Steam makes it easy, cheap and convenient for people to play the latest games that look a heck of a lot better than playing them on consoles, they'll need to bring back more core gaming features.

I'd like it if we had less mandatory day-one patches, less forced online connectivity, more integrated gameplay functionality instead of upscaling and texture crunching and media compression. I'd love to see good games on a good gaming console.

Right now there is no benefit to investing in a console, especially with pay-to-play multiplayer, as opposed to just sticking with PC. Something has to give, but given that MS is after casuals and I don't know what Sony is really doing, I tend to doubt we'll get consoles as gaming-dedicated as the PS2 and original Xbox.

Don't forget that all signs point to MS putting heavy focus on Kinect games and media services as the primary focus for the 720.

Ar Tonelico Qoga: Knell Of Ar Ciel Retro Review – Love Conquers All

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.

Mugen Souls Retro Review – Sexy Demon Space Adventure

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.
