Push Square: "With the PlayStation 4 set to dominate the industry's attention over the coming week, we thought that this would be a perfect opportunity to look back on some of the highest highs and cringe-inducing lows from the PlayStation 3's time at E3. We’ve been astounded by gameplay demonstrations, shocked by surprise announcements, and reduced to disappointed, broken husks after witnessing disastrous presentations. Join us as we root through the press conference archives, and offer a reminder of just why the Los Angeles show is considered the most memorable event on the gaming calendar."
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.
Grasshopper Manufacture's Shadows of the Damned returns this year with a remaster, and Hardcore Gamer got to talk with Suda51 about it, among other things...
Ps3 is getting The Last of Us, Puppeteer, GTA V, Beyond: Two Souls, Gran Turismo 6, and some free to play games.
I think ps3 is fine and clearly strongly supported.
Sony is treating PS3 and something seperate from ps4.
Also I think I see why Sony is still strongly supporting PS3 despite the fact they will need to convince their fanbase to ALSO spend cash on PS4: To combat the lower-priced Wii U.
The ps3 will have to get a price drop. Combine the low price, with the reduced cost of new games (probably drop new game retail prices from $60 down to $50-$40) and it will leave the PS3 in a position to compete with the Wii U. Many argued that the wii u will be the cheapest of next gen hardware, but Sony is playing it smart by still strongly supporting PS3. Wii U is not much stronger (tech-wise) from PS3, so by Sony supporting it, it will increase the chances of PS3 getting many of the 3rd party games Wii U might get (thus putting it on equal footing with Wii U). Not to mention the already huge install base PS3 has.
Meanwhile, while the PS3 lowers it's price to compete with Wii U this holiday, the PS4 will be free to focus on it's battle against Xbox One (since their both in the same league technologically (actually ps4 is considerably more powerful) and will have similar price points (and sell their games at similar prices ($60 minimum for most new games).
the biggest low i can think was the original price point $599. If sony tries that again with ps4 they might run into trouble
Not a bad high low list actually.
see I love civil thugs ...dont rob me though
