Oct. 18 - KGO - All eyes are on San Francisco as Sony prepares to launch its newest game console, the PS3. Ahead of Sony's big announcements tomorrow, there are parties galore -- a celebration for Bay Area companies that have been preparing for a new generation of games.
Electronic Arts is the world's leading video game publisher, based on the Peninsula in Redwood Shores. The company is having a private party tonight to show off its new games for the PS3. The PS3 launches next month, but EA is already showing off four games that display PS3's next generation technology. The PS3 will be cutting edge and a little bit pricey. It's sure to usher in a new battle over video game supremacy.
Gary Green said: You’ll be forgiven if you haven’t heard of the Ar Tonelico trilogy. The previous two games arrived so late in the PS2’s life-cycle that they simply went unnoticed. While most were tinkering with their shiny new PS3s, Ar Tonelico: Melody of Elemia and Ar Tonelico II: Melody of Metafalica were being ‘returned to sender’ by your local Game stores. Luckily, you won’t need to have played them to understand and appreciate this third and final chapter, Qoga (pronounced k-yoga) tells the story of a racial war between humans and Reyvateils, a breed of biologically produced female cyborgs capable of reproduction, while still having a digital mind.
Oh my god. I kinda wish this would get a remaster on PS5, it would be awesome. One of my favorite games on PS3.
That and 3D Dot Game Heroes. It's a shame that some stuff is stuck on PS3.
Ar Tonelico 3 is good I still prefer the first AT game. The music is solid in all the games and Akiko Shikata is a very talented singer bringing life to the game. Only annoying part is well I find is Saki I always choose Finnel or Tyria. KOEI so needs to HD remaster the franchise along with Ar Nosurge and Ciel Nosurge since it never came to North America. I would day one the Ar Toneliceo games and Ar Nosurge if they were remastered.
I still have the limited edition of Qoga unopened. Unfortunately it never went up in value like I had hoped all these years.
Gary Green said: We have a juxtaposition of 2D and 3D visuals, flashy turn-based combat, quirky anime characters with cheeky dialogue with plenty of partial nudity; Yes, this is a Compile Heart JRPG. Whilst the engine is borrowed from Hyperdimension Neptunia mk2, Mugen Souls is more of a Disgaea spin-off. It’s not a strategy RPG as such, it merely sits within Disgaea’s ever-expanding universe (Multiverse? Netherverse? Your guess is as good as mine). You won’t find cameos though, since Mugen Souls is a franchise which aims to stand on its own two feet.
Huzaifa from eXputer: "2008 was home to the likes of Call of Duty: World at War, Dead Space, GTA 4, Far Cry 2, Left 4 Dead, and many other hits, which is outright remarkable."
Just about every year in the 7th generation was great and something we most likely won't experience again.
2009 for example had Assassin's Creed 2, Batman: Arkham Asylum, Dragon Age: Origins, Uncharted 2, Halo 3: ODST, Killzone 2, Borderlands, Bayonetta, and Demon's Souls to name a few.
Yes.
blah, blah, blah....
now get over it. If you don't like the price, don't buy one. But regardless of what your simple mind thinks, this hardware is worth every pen-eeeeeeeee.
that sounds like a sony mind trick lol, im sure it will be a good console but it leaves alot of poor people opting for cheaper consoles, so higher price will equal lower sales, and alot of people will just wait like 2 yrs or how ever long it will take for the ps3 price to drop, some think its worth that price fair enough, but it kinda puts me off..no totally puts me off, and if there is ever a ps4 how much will that cost? close to 2k im thinking!
"It's twice the cost of rival game consoles made by Microsoft and Nintendo."
um, PS3's biggest rival is the 360, which costs $299 and $399 respectively. so, unless PS3 is now $599 and $799 respectively, then this article is severely misleading.
Lets give the price issue a rest. I can't wait for the PS3 launch day for good or worst.
"Gamevideos.com: "Six hundred dollars for the system, and then you've got, if you want to get two games, that's another $120 bucks, maybe another joystick, whatever, you're talking easily, you can get into the thousand-dollar range."
$600+$120+$60=$780!
