Otixero - I had the chance to interview Gavin Moore, Creative Director of Puppeteer, a new game by Sony’s Japan Studio, at a preview event in Hamburg Germany. My preview will be published in the next issue of the German print magazines ConsolAT and ConsolPLUS at a later date. We talked about all sorts of stuff regarding the incredibly charming Platformer Puppeteer. One question though clearly stood out and gave me an opportunity to take a look at the Japanese video game culture (developers and players alike), which seems impenetrable for us westerners sometimes. I slightly edited the interview (mostly “you know”s and “I mean”s and “right?”s) and my questions and statements are bold for a more comfortable reading experience. To understand things better, you should watch the game’s reveal trailer first.
Could you get rich by investing in PS3 games? Almost definitely not. Can you make a few bucks by flipping PS3 games over the years? Yeah, sure! It wouldn’t even be that difficult. But let’s face it: Once these games are in your collection, you’re probably keeping them forever.
After a game's multiple generations old, and can't be had new at a reasonable price, that's when I see nothing wrong with emulation.
What's the point of paying someone scalper prices when the dev/publisher isn't even benefiting from it?
I paid $30 for SH Downpour on PS3 now it's around $70-$85 Canadian Lolipop Chainsaw I paid $15 and it has really gone up in price. I wonder if Transformers War and Fall of Cybertron will go up in price two of the best Transformers games every made.
Ever since Sony announced that they would shut down PS3 store these prices have skyrocketed and even though Sony backtracked now most gamers realize that it's a matter of time before the PlayStation 3 store is shut down. If you want these games get them while you can even if digital because once that story shut down the physical prices will just go crazy high we saw that already
And many of these games did not sell like crazy amounts so they are limited number of copies available for sale at any given time
It's been a roller coaster on the PS3 front. Prices went absolutely insane a few weeks ago, but with the PS3/Vita stores staying open for now, prices have plummeted back to earth. This article breaks it down, complete with buying suggestions and current prices.
Recently I sold Lightning Returns for $25, Tales of Symphonia for $50, Bleach for $40, Night Trap for $90 and The Orange Box for $45. I'm making a business of finding PS3 games for cheap and selling them for slightly less than what other people are selling them for on ebay. I ordered both the standard version of Doom Collection for Switch and collector's edition for Doom Collection for PS4 for the purpose of resale in the future.
The Ghetto Gamer has been predicting and tracking PS3 prices over the past year. The last few months have seen a massive spike in the pricing of PS3 games, and it may be too late to pick up some of the more rare and hard-to-find ones at a reasonable price. Some of these are nuts.
Again, seen this coming from the start, glad I already bought everything I wanted over the years 👌
Stil remember selling ps3 titles to buy a PS4. but i keept the ones i liked more. Did the same with the titles of the PS4 to get a PS5.
omw finally.. someone who just says it as it is.
" but, I’m not going to change my creative vision over something because somebody tells me that that’s what’s important now"
man... if only all directors were like this. IT is great to hear of a director sticking to making the game him/ her and their team want to make, instead of making a game to attempt to appease others.
Cant wait for this game. Looks awesome.
He has a point. Who gives a fuck about the protagonist's gender? It didn't stop me from playing Bayonetta or the Tomb Raider games. It didn't stop females from playing Uncharted or Legend of Zelda games. Just play games.
People need to mature up and stop bitching. Especially in the case of Dragon's Crown, remember how Kraptaku moaned about the sorceress?? Yeah, fk em.
Now i'll wait for crossingeden to moan some more
Can't wait for the Puppeteer, the demo was amazing
Japan is a crazy place man. Lived there for 3 years. Awesome culture! even if i don't quite understand how their porn is riddled with some crazy fetishes that would make most americans cringe and yet they blur out the money shots lol
America and austrailia complain about EVERYTHING thats even remotely sexual in nature. Europe seems to have a good balance but in the uk people complain and blame everything on violent video games etc. Japan yeah i agree it may be considered a little excessive but seriously the people complaining need to grow up.
