Sony Corp., which slashed its profit forecast yesterday, said it may not reach this year's shipment target for the PlayStation 3 game console because of a parts shortage in the Blu-ray high-definition disc drive.
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.
Enough said.
"''The honest answer is it's more of a target'' for PlayStation 3 shipments, Jack Tretton, co-chairman of Sony Computer Entertainment America, said yesterday in an interview. ``Clearly we've had production issues.'"
oh ok, it wasn't something that sony had promised and stated as fact and then failed to deliver on. because sony never do that. it was a TARGET! just a idea. a concept. why would everyone actually believe what sony said? its obvious they just have vague targets and may or may not achieve them as they wish. people need to leave sony alone! they have targets to achieve!
Play B3yond*
*Sony Corporation in no way takes liability if you fail to "Play B3yond." The PS3, the ability to "Play B3yond" and the associated "Play B3yond" logos and trademarks are more like targets we think you might be able to achieve someday. You know, if you stick with us, we absolutely believe that someday (not as yet specified) you will utilize you PS3 console to "Play B3yond." For now, though, it really is more like "Play B3fore B3yond" or "Target: Play B3yond." Seriously, thanks for your patience while we work hard to achieve3 "Play B3yond" status for you and your hard earned dollars we have used to line the coffin Kutaragi sleeps in at night.
What else is new sony?
If this news is stating that the initial shipment of 500'000 will be smaller then that is BIG news. If it just effects the 1 million by the end of Dec. number , I don't think anybody believed them in the first place.
