Spanish gaming site MeriStation is reporting that Ken Kutaragi recently admitted that supply problems for Japan and North America could force the European PS3 launch to be delayed until May -- which would mean that Japanese and American consumers might have their systems nearly six months before the eager gamers in the rest of the world. Now keep in mind that Kutaragi also supposedly said that Sony has not modified its European launch plans at this time, so right now we're only looking at a "what if" scenario.
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."
Shaolin Monks is a forgotten gem. I would love to see a new one, or a remake of the old.
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.
The new unit comprises over 500 developers representing the entire World of Warcraft development team.
I used to be anti-union, it kills productivity, investment and turns product mediocre. Their games suck anyways though so what was lost? Might as well get their people paid until they are dissolved.
Unions are necessary regardless of how you feel. You know how fked the working class would be without them. As if we're not already.
No they aren’t, regardless of how you feel. Unions make zero sense for skill based labor. They are for people who press a button every 10 seconds on an assembly line. “working class” is a made up term. I don’t care about corporations or developers, I just want good games lol. Killing your incentives to appease the lowest common denominator doesn’t lead to great games imo
I wasn’t trying to be offensive if I came off that way. The Union is an old mentality and I can see their usefulness but also the danger. We’re in the age of AI and robots and skill based labor. Unions can be dangerous these days. You could replace your entire workforce in one move. Checkmate. Look to the kiosk replacing workers in the 20 dollar minimum wage era.
Well run businesses don’t need unions. If you need a Union that business won’t survive anyway. Unless it’s propped up by the government with corporate welfare (which is the real issue). If you’re not going to spend some on your workers (Amazon, Google) then your welfare is cut off. No tax breaks. All you put together don’t match their wealth and resources, the union is a traditional memory at this point and counterproductive with this new enemy we face. They need a flying elbow from the top ropes. And by “working class is a made up term” I just mean we’re not a class system and even CEO Bobby Kotick puts in a days work lol. Or did.. It’s just a vague term that doesn’t mean anything no offense lol. People say “middle class” but that can change quick right? Up or down. That’s not a “class system”.
Taking a trip back to Housemarque's forgotten platformer.
hahhah this is too funny! as hardcore of a Sony fanboy anyone can be, sometimes you just gotta stop and wonder..WTF is going on?!? only IF this comes true though.
Marty McFly will surely be in cloud-9 when this day comes.
They've probably lost Europe for good.
Yea I agree, Im just like WTF? Better not be true! Although at this point i wouldnt be surprised.
Both japan and the U.S. will suffer delays yet as well. It could happen, but for sony's sake I hope they don't. To over promise and under deliver, isn't a good thing. i'd of rather come out earlier like say last summer and said we may not ship out to U.S. and Japan until march'07, then to look bad like they have.
But maybe this won't happen, especially since a couple retailers become bold and presold some consoles.
Im not a fanboy of any kind, and I am looking forward to getting the PS3 on Nov.17(IF..), but just reading this and thinking what Sony has done as far as their reputation goes, this could be true. However I highly doubt that will happen, cause Sony has even said they are way under full production, and will have at least 1mill for Europe by March 07' and I havent heard anything bad about production as of yet, so it seems like everything is in order, except for the fact that instead of 2 mill, it half a mill consoles. That is still bothering me that I have to run around for this thing now, and cant just walk into a store and pick it up. But oh well, thats how gaming goes, and im not complaining
