The cover story of EGM's March issue states 8 reasons why 2008 will be the year of the PS3.
Salman from Tech4Gamers writes "Mortal Kombat 9 revived the series from a low point after bringing it back to 2D combat. It marked a new high-point for the franchise due to its incredible roster, exciting cinematic story mode, and high-octane combat."
That game was actually goated. It was the first time ever that I actually tried to get good at a fighting game. Unfortunately the online connection was so dogshit it made it hard to enjoy and eventually I gave up. Haven't really played much fighting games since.
Taking a trip back to Housemarque's forgotten platformer.
The Simpsons: Hit and Run, The Legend of Dragoon, and Chrono Trigger would benefit substantially from a modern remake.
The Xenosaga trilogy, the Wild Arms games, Xenogears, Parasite Eve, Dino Crisis, Suikoden. The Warriors game I know nothing about but it looks interesting. Anybody can do a list of games they want to see get modernized I would lose my shit if Namco brought the Xenosaga trilogy to modern consoles.
with MGS4, GTA4, Little Big planet, Resistance2, killzone2, Home+ what else sony have in store for the holidays, PS3 owners wont be in a hurry to go back to playing ps2 games any times soon.
The games, blu-ray, psp-ps3 functionality, the ps3 community (HOME and in-game xmb), did I mention the games? anyway there is little doubt that 2008 is the year of the ps3.
On another note, it sounds like the ps3 is gaining the acceptance of the media, finally. This can only be a good thing for Sony.
I remember when EGM had a PS3 hit with a tomatoe on its front cover once. I wonder whats happened now?
