The PS2 dominated the gaming world, the PS3 slipped, and now it seems the PS4 has reclaimed the top spot in the ongoing console race.
IGN: "If our two-hour hands-on preview is any indication of the rest of the game, then Visions of Mana's fresh take on battle and class systems not only gives it the potential to meet the success of the originals but possibly even the chance to surpass them."
It's balancing old and new, then, and embracing a sort of breezy retro simplicity. Pleasing as that is, though, it so far feels a little shallow by comparison to other genre heavy-hitters. Despite moving to an open world and offering sumptuous presentation, Visions of Mana clings to the past and lacks truly fresh ideas of its own. It's a welcome return and a fun, bubbly, frivolous experience, but the Mana series looks set to remain in the shadow of Square Enix's premiere franchises for now.
Hopes are high as Open Roads allows us to take in a Game Pass, Xbox, PlayStation, Switch and PC road trip.
I dont really understand when people say the PS3 "Slipped" etc.
The PS3 outsold the 360 world wide, and was release an entire year later. Yes perhaps the only mistake that was made with the PS3 was that it was sold a year and at such a high price $600, but i wouldnt say it was ever on bottom.
I just want the damn DLNA/Media center features back and suspend/resume support. Then i will be a happy camper this gen.
Ok: PS4 is back on top. Now what?
No. Not until a year or two, with diversity in game development, rather than PR hype, is a thing again.
It has been outsold by the Wii U, Vita, 3DS, and Ps3 for months in Japan. It also ends below the 3DS in the world wide weekly charts.
It's doing great, but lets wait and see before making any hasty claims.
The way I see it, without that infamous year head start by xb360, playstation has always been on top.
