At the Gamer's Day event in San Francisco, Sony revealed the prices for various peripherals. The Sixaxis controller will be $49.99, which is the same price as the wireless Xbox 360 controller and $10 more / less than the Nintendo Wiimote (depending on whether or not you include the nunchuk add-on). The age of $50 controllers is very frackin' nigh.
The PS3 memory card adaptor, that allows you to transfer PSOne and PS2 memory card data to the HDD, will only be $14.99. The BD Remote Control, which is "coming soon" (read: not available at launch) will be $24.99.
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.
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.
$50 for a controller that you can`t replace the batteries in! Another DUMB move by sony!
So how exactly long do the batteries in it last? I know I haven't replaced the lithum battiers I have in my first DS or the second one. I haven't had to replace the ones in my PSP either... Least they give them as part of the controller instead of buying them sepratly oh I mean to bad they don't give me a choice to not have a wonderful chargable battery in the controller
then you have that option. i bought the recharge kit for the 360 and works wonderfully. that is the thing about the 360 you have choice. i didn't want to go the rechargable battery route and wanted something i could recharge on the fly etc... so i bought the recharge kit and it is awsome. charges while you play and charges when the console is off if you want it to and it will last about 10hrs of long gaming before you have to charge again.
I think you guys are blowing this way out of proportion. Does it suck that the conrollers cost so much? Yeah, that's why I usually go third party for extras because all first party companies overcharge. Does it suck that the battery isn't replaceable? Yeah that's pretty homoerotic. But the controllers are wireless as a standard, charge by hooking up to the console, can be played and charged at the same time, have a sixty foot wireless range, and a 30 hour battery life to begin with, so even if the battery degrades by half, or one third, that's still more than most people game for at one time, and it can be charged and played at the same time. Plus, we don't know how long it will take for the battery to degrade. In six years our controllers might still be getting over 5 hours at a time if the batteries haven't blown up by them (sorry, had to insert obligatory exploding batteries joke). If the batteries are going from thirty hours to five in one year, well then this is a big deal. Otherwise, it's not that major.
First off remote controllers and garage door openers use such small portions of power for batteries that by the time you need to replace them it's about a year later. Mp3 player with regular batteries? Get an I-pod man. Cameras, mine does not use regular batteries. Flashlights I use the ones that will produce a good amount of light so they use the D size. So these mirical rechargable batteries you talk about have no good use at all in my world.
Now I'm hardly a sony fanboy. I'm more of a Nintendo man. I have the 360 (with the Lithum batteries) and enjoy it. I have the old systems and even the psp and ds (I play the ds more than the 360 but whatever) I am going to enjoy the ps3 and yes the controller with no batteries in sight becuase I don't need them. And hopefully Nintendo will pull off a ms and release a sold sepratly lithum battery for it's controller
