Just as a spray of lighter fluid on a dwindling flame ignites it into a raging fire, restoring it to the brilliance and brightness of the past; Sony has done that with the reveal of the PlayStation 4 for the industry – and not only are Sony fanboys excited, everyone with any form of connection the gaming industry should be as well.
It seems it was long time ago. A bunch of friends spending hours on end playing RPG games, sitting around the table with the box of cold pizza. Excited about the story, listening to the Game Master, they were completely engaged in the worlds only visible to them and their imaginations.
The GM is the programmer, and in MMOs and co-ops, you can play with others. If you want to ONLY use your imagination for the visuals, read a book.
Scrawl: "Looks like we know how that new Compile Heart countdown is going to end. The latest issue of Famitsu has confirmed that Agarest Senki 2, known as Record of Agarest War 2 in the US, is Compile Heart’s newest title."
1) Hope they put it on disc this time.
2) Hope this is a positive for Neptune coming over as well.
If so, that's being developed & published by Idea Factory. Compile Heart has nothing to do with it (Thank God for that).
Thought Compile Heart was one of the companies lending characters.
Was also speaking in general as in regards to a US of Neptune. If these guys are offing a second game, NIS or Atlus, both of whom offer quirkier titles, will put that one out.
@kagon01:
My issue isn't - wholly - with the DL-only option, but the price. The first game should be $30. Maybe $40, and by that I mean $39.99. The only reason its $45 is the 360 disc version which has extras. Nevermind that by all rights its a PS2 game. Something that proabbly could have been done if the devs had the GOW2 engine or tools.
I approve of this god damn message.
Could have gotten my 60 bucks if they just put it on a disc.

Is this a half decent SRPG, porn aside, cause if it is, i might just decide to go and buy it for the 360.
There's no porn just some sexual innuendos but that's it.
Also it is a great game by itself, maybe not graphically but everything else is top tier.
Yup, it's a decent game. I just hate that a move has to go first before any attack options.
This is not the first time that Bless Online receives a server merge in Korea. An announcement was made on the official Korean site.
Bless must be an amazing game to be on all these platforms (according to the tags): iPad iPhone Nintendo DS PC PS Vita PS2 PS3 PS4 PSP Wii Wii U Xbox Xbox 360 Xbox One
Great read. If it wasn't for Sony I would have given up gaming. I don't like Wii and Kinect so thank you, Sony.
INdustry should thank many players, Sony has kept true to its image where is has been seen as the cool console to have, I was told the clubs back in the 90's (in the U.K) had playstaion corners.
They really tried to make gaming for more than just the "isolated teen*
There are many other thingd too but Sony has done a lot but that doesnt mean to say they are the only ones.
Re-light my fire, your love is my only desire...

Everyone has contributed to this amazing industry.
Sony made gaming "cool" and made it mainstream.
Nintendo revolutionsed the way we play games.
MS changed the way we play online together.
They all whether you like them or not have helped to create new and great experiences and will continue to do so.
Yes everyone has had a hand in moving the industry forward, but some have also had a hand in moving it backwards and diluting it.
Either way i do thank Sony because they brought alot of new social innovation to the table, as well as an all around good console which is def. step up from what we have now. It has me anxious to get a new system and try it out and spend my money on new gaming experiences. Experiences that i feel wont be crappy gimmicks or not work half of the time.
