It seems like everyone laughs at Sony's claims of a 10-year lifespan for their platforms, but why? Bad memory, perhaps...the PS2 lasted...yep, 10 years.
Plenty of unforgettable games have completely messed up their players throughout the years, all the way back from the PS1 days to the dark recesses of the modern internet.
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.
This is something that's completely baffling to me as well. It's sad to say that gamers, in contrast to fans of other hobbies and entertainment fans seem to be quite cheap and whinny.
Ohh.. but they also want a beast of system with high production costs for just 200 bucks.
Just saying..
I bet most people who want new systems out here won't even have the cash for em when they drop. And when they do, then we'll hear the same "OMG my new system doesn't have games!" comments , rinse and repeat.
I guess some people can't be happy with what they got, can't go to sleep if their system isn't "The BeST EVAR!".
I appreciate the good stuff don't get me wrong, but I'm in here for the games wherever they are.
Some people think that Sony means 10 years between console releases when they say 10 year lifespan , which in their minds would mean a holiday 2016 release , lol. That's probably why they laugh or refuse to believe that would happen. They don't know any better.
Putting the obvious aside , some hardcore gamers are craving better visuals or game performance (or both) , as well as a feature heavy integrated PSN with cross/party chat. There's nothing wrong with that imo.
I dont see any problem with 10 years... who sayd there cant be any other console out.. ps2 was and is still supported.. I can still go and buy it in the store brand new (maybe just like brand new :)) and find all games I need :) awesome for that old kind of console... ps3 can live 4 more years with no problem.. meantime ps4 could be out just like ps2 and ps3 lived together for a couple of years... Sony meant that they will look after it for 10 years.. that is how I understand it.. it dosnt meant that every console must come out after 10 years....
Wow... thanks for stating the obvious. We couldn't formulate that argument by ourselves.
It's none of your business what Sony decides to do!!!!!!
If a company wants to make money for ten years on a product, why is that even an issue? It's common sense.
MYOB!
