PS3: A Blu-ray of Sunshine

The Blu-ray strategy has sent manufacturing costs spiralling and provoked industry pundits to suggest that Sony might, just might, have dropped the ball. If you're reading this then you no doubt want a PS3 for one thing and one thing only: games. But what exactly is Blu-ray and what will it mean for you and your games? More importantly, how can you harness its HD beauty on your home set-up? Read on to find out.

THAT`S THE REAL WAR.
NOT WHO HAS EXCLUSIVES AND ALL THAT JAZZ.
HD IS GOING TO BECOME STANDARD SOON.
MORE DEV. REQUIRES MORE SPACE.
THE FUTURE IS CREEPING UP QUICKLY.

AND IF ANY 360 ONLY PEOPLE CAN`T SEE THE PROBLEMS THAT LIE AHEAD
I FEEL SORRY FOR YOU AND YOUR MONEY.
AND W/ ALL THE PS EXCLUSIVES JUMPIN OVER, DON`T THINK THEY AND MORE WON`T JUMP BACK OVER TO PS WHEN THEY RUN OUT OF SPACE TO CREATE WITH.

f41c0n6239d ago (Edited 6239d ago )

Why? We weren't forced to buy a console relying on a format that is currently in a format war. If HD-DVD failed, we would still be able to play all of our games. On the other hand, if Blu-Ray failed, not only would the PS3 turn into an expensive paperweight, but that would pretty much spell the end for Sony as a company.

Just to let you know, game producers haven't had much problems with space yet. Even if they did, it would be extremely easy to put the game on two DVD's rather than one.

Anego Montoya FTMFW6239d ago

GET YOUR FACTS STRAIGHT.
DEVELOPERS CONSTANTLY ARE HAVING TO CUT THINGS OUT BECAUSE OF SPACE.
WHY DO YA THINK GEARS WAS SO SHORT AND LOST PLANET.

Anego Montoya FTMFW6239d ago

THATS A JOKE.

HOW BOUT 4 DVD`S 5 DVD`S

DON`T BE A SUCKER.

f41c0n6239d ago

You realize that there is something called a dual-layer disc don't you?

Would you mind turning off caps-lock too? It makes you look really, really ignorant.

and then the games will bounce back when developers go how the hell do you develope for this, and then they'll think how could we of made a profit with the ps3 install base

MikeGdaGod6239d ago

in the end, bluray will show its value. it won't happen right away like sony would want you to believe, but as time passes and companies start putting more HD content into their games the space could be needed. some games already coming for the 360 are pushing the memory limits of the 360, and some will be on multiple disks. people can say all they want, multiple disks don't matter, but i'd find it a little irritating. i just don't think the devs won't use this tech to their advantage......eventually

f41c0n6239d ago

"some games already coming for the 360 are pushing the memory limits of the 360"

Are you referring to the system RAM of the 360, or the capacity of DVD's...because they aren't the same thing.

MikeGdaGod6239d ago

i'm talking about disk space not RAM.

Devastator_oftheweak6239d ago

First off if HD-DVD does fail, not saying it has or will, but if it does, then those who bought the HD-DVD drive will be out $200.00 for an expensive paperweight as you say. If Blue ray failed, well guess what Sony would use DVD9 just like the precious XBOX 360 does, duh!

To say that if Blu ray failed as a Movie media storage doesn't mean that it would fail as a game storage device, dumba$$, think back to the PS1, who else was using black discs for their games, yeah stupid reponse to his post. I say the future is creeping in rather fast as HDTV's are falling to more reasonable prices, internet is getting faster (can't wait for the ability to download 1 terabyte, NOW THATS POWER). Developers will develop for the systems that will bring them money or cross-platform to make even more money, after all the Game development industry is like the stock market, they're all in it to make lots of money and hope that their stocks don't fail and someone gobbles them up like EA Games does.

Praise what system is true to your heart but don't flame someone for their opinion, after all it is THEIR opinion not yours.

f41c0n6239d ago

A hit like that to the PS3 would severely cripple Sony, not just because of the PS3, but because of the fact that they have invested so heavily into the Blu-Ray format. If Blu-Ray failed, guess what would happen to the sales figures for the PS3? That's right, they would plummet. The PS3 would no longer have any advantage over the 360. After one format is chosen is when the majority of consumers will begin to purchase the victorious format's players, and thus the 360 sales would rise to fill the void of the PS3's sale drop. It's simple economics.

lilwingman6239d ago

I think that as long as the PS3 is around, Blu-Ray can't fail. The install base alone will be purchasing large amounts of movies. As the PS3 install base grows, so does BD's.

techie6239d ago

If blu-ray movies didn't sell then they'd still make blu-ray games...so that advantage of space would still be there. But of course they would lose their advantage of being a multimedia next-gen player. Both formats will be around a long time.

Boink6239d ago

quad layer dvd - 18 gigs. tons of storage.

and quit typing in caps moron.

techie6239d ago

Can any dvd- player read quad layer?

rayzorn6238d ago

hell i dont know deep. i never heard of it but im guesing soon or later they will make something up like that if they havent. but i would say without a doubt the xbox 360 and ps3 both could not read it even if it out there.unless he is talking about a dual layered double sided dvd. because those are around but you would still have to flip it over and i never saw a game made that way. but i have seen some movies made that way

kmis876238d ago

They don't make quad layer discs because the DVD players on the market can't read quad layer discs, and they cost much more.

Ranking the Devil May Cry Series

VGChartz's Mark Nielsen: "Upon finally finishing Devil May Cry 5 recently - after it spent several years on my “I’ll play that soon” list - I considered giving it a fittingly-named Late Look article. However, considering that this was indeed the final piece I was missing in the DMC puzzle, I decided to instead take this opportunity to take a look back at the entirety of this genre-defining series and rank the entries. What also made this a particularly tempting notion was that while most high-profile series have developed fairly evenly over time, with a few bumps on the road, the history of Devil May Cry has, at least in my eyes, been an absolute roller coaster, with everything from total disasters to action game gold."

First to last for me...3,4,5,1,2.

VersusDMC2h ago

Me leaving it out should be telling of my thoughts on it. Better than 2 as a DMC game.

Still a good game though.

Friendlygamer3h ago

3,1,4,5 to me, never played 2. 5 gameplay is amazing but level design was really disappointing to me, just a bunch of plain arenas, the story felt like a worse written rehash of the 3rd and the charater models looked weird ( specially the ladies ). Another problem with 5 was that there was not enough content for 3 charaters so I could never really familiarize with any of them

monkey6023h ago(Edited 3h ago)

2.
Dmc.
4.
5.
1.
3.

God DMC2 was an awful game.
And in case this isn't obvious it goes worst to best

Yui_Suzumiya1h ago

1 and DmC. The rest are unimportant.

DarXyde1h ago

Order changes depending on your focus. I tend to focus on gameplay/fun factor, so...

5, 3, 1, 4, 2.

I really didn't like 4 but commend Dante's weapon diversity. The retreading of old ground was pretty unacceptable to me.

But even then... Still more enjoyable than 2 for me

Tales Of Graces Ƒ Retro Review – Holding Out For a Hero

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.

Odd this and the xillia games still haven't gotten remasters yet.
