When did Sony announce a new version of the playstation to compete alongside Microsofts 720?

Hellsvacancy4362d ago

Sony and MS hav though, they just havnt told us consumers yet

mushroomwig4362d ago

How did this get approved? Sony hasn't announced a thing regarding their next PlayStation.

pr0digyZA4362d ago

I think it's a theoretical statement.

BushLitter4362d ago

I think 'theoretical statement' is an oxymoron :P

pr0digyZA4362d ago

lol I know :P it's the only way to describe that sentence though.

ChunkyLover534362d ago

Microsoft and Sony haven't announced any new consoles.....what the heck is this?

Godmars2904362d ago (Edited 4362d ago )

As far as "next Gen" is concerned, I'm done. Games this gen were largely narrow and restricted in design, too focused on graphics which boiled down to brown and grey, and too many people blindly defending them.

@BushLitter:
Yes there's been so good and even great games, but even many of those have been overrated. Others have only split and polarized the fan base.

BushLitter4362d ago (Edited 4362d ago )

I agree to a great extent, but I have to say that in spite of that there were still some amazing games that came out this gen.

mr_badhand4362d ago

so in your opinion what Gen was best? What games do you consider great that you remembered?

Lets not let nostalgia cloud your judgment on how truly bad a** these last 5 to 6 years of gaming have been.

Godmars2904362d ago

The SNES and PS1 eras offered the best balances between gameplay and graphics, while the PS2 had too many games to really complain about. Its also where things started to go wrong since the system caught flack for failures in others like the Gamecube, Xbox1 and especially the Dreamcast and for killing Sega.

I'm not letting nostalgia cloud my judgement, but rather my enjoyment of JRPGs and sprite animation based games, as well as my general disinterest in FPS, for which there's been a major scarcity of one, and too many of the other on HD consoles. Nevermind the push for MP and the death of SP.

Siren304362d ago

Why come to a gaming news site if you don't even like games?

TheFirstClassic4362d ago

If you admit that there were good and even great games this gen, what do you mean you're done? I'm not a big fan of this gen, my favorite was the n64 and ps1 days, but there's been plenty of gems this gen to play.

Godmars2904362d ago

By "I'm done" I mean that it wont be day-one I buy the next system. Probably wont be year one.

TheFirstClassic4362d ago

Oh that makes more sense. I'll probably be the same way to be honest.

@Siren30 he didn't say he didn't like games... he said he didn't like most of the games from this gen.

LittleBigPlanet 3 Servers Are Officially Shut Down 'Indefinitely,' Sony Confirms

Sony has confirmed that LittleBigPlanet 3 servers on PlayStation 4 will remain offline “indefinitely” following troubles with the service from earlier this year.

Sad day, hopefully they’ll allow a third party server solution. Goes to show game preservation is an uphill battle.

Fieyy4h ago

First the Helldivers launch and then this

Sony still can’t run online services/games.

-Foxtrot3h ago

Do you not get tired creating duplicate accounts...

It's super sad at this point

Knightofelemia1h ago

Last time I remember Helldivers is doing great with players both PC and Playstation.

Fieyy1h ago

And how was it at launch? A disaster for weeks.

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.

VersusDMC5h 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.

Friendlygamer6h 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

monkey6026h ago(Edited 6h 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_Suzumiya4h ago

1 and DmC. The rest are unimportant.

DarXyde4h 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

Used to love this one, but X-Men Legends 1 and 2 will always be my favorites, especially Rise of Apocalypse. Would pay some good money to play it today with online multiplayer, back then I had no way to get a modem

RavenWolfx4h ago

Yeah, I loved the Legends games so much.

ZeekQuattro11h ago

I remember buying them dirt cheap on the PS4 and then a few days later I read they were delisted. I was wondering why the bundle was price so low and got my answer when that happened.

Knightofelemia9h ago(Edited 9h ago)

Sad to say this is one game franchise next to the Xmen that needs a sequel. I use to play the hell out of Xmen Legends and Marvel Ultimate Alliance. Was great when my cousin had the OG Xbox play with four other people and then playing online. Great games glad to see it reappear even though I own the discs love the mechanics of this game.

Terry_B9h ago

It got a sequel..but for dumbass #reasons as a switch exclusive.

shinoff21839h ago

It looked so horrible to. They should've kept it similar to the first two.

Asplundh9h ago

Because Nintendo funded it, they did the same for Bayonetta.

Knightofelemia8h ago

I totally forgot about the Switch sequel.

jukins9h ago

Misleading. This page is whats available for people who owned the game prior to delisting.

Abnor_Mal8h ago

The first game was the best imo.
