The PlayStation 3 took a big hit in its start with various obstacles, bad marketing, and non-tactful decision-making in the birth of the product, but during its maturity stage, Sony bounced back and started to learn from its mistakes. Now that the PlayStation 4 received such great reception, Sony should still recognize they are not out of the trenches and could lose momentum due to missed opportunities at launch
Former Sony Interactive Entertainment executive Shuhei Yoshida has shared how his feedback played a role in the success of Gran Turismo.
To this day, anyone that plays a GT game for the first time and doesn't have experience with this kind of game will crash at the first corner, so not really sure what Shu is claiming here. I literally saw this happen a few months ago at an event where they had GT7 with VR2 up on a stage and members of the public got to try it out.
Nathan Williams from Bebington has made a dream leap from virtual tracks to real-world glory, clinching victory in his debut race in the OT Coupe with Toyo
Killer Instinct is like the forgotten cousin at the fighting game family reunion.
yeah they were such good and fun games but they never really reached the mainstream audience. Killer Instinct was widely known and respected.
Killer instinct is great, especially on snes but it’s not the most underrated fighter.. for me it’s Power Stone. So much potential in this series
Bloody Roar was a game that had a sick concept but wasn’t made the best. I’d say Killer Instinct was the opposite of that, it was well made but the roster of characters were so similar to every other fighting game in that era that it ended up feeling like more of the same. I could be wrong that’s just how I remember it at the time and I played a ton of KI on SNES because it was one of the first games I owned.
I loved this game in the arcade, my main was Jago, Ultra Combo!!! https://www.youtube.com/wat...
I remember trying my hardest to learn that "Ultra... Ultra.... Ultra...." finish. Such a great fighting game.
I can tell you definitely got some SNES time in. The slight differences in the ports due to hardware constraints were interesting. For example, the arcade version was Ultraaaa Coooommboooooooo! versus Ultra….Ultra….Ultra on the SNES.
Though SNES overachieved as a port for as demanding as a game KI was.The arcade version was one of the first cabinets with a dedicated hard drive and the SNES version was 32 megabyte cartridge which was huge for that system at the time.
Yeah, for sure. My local childhood arcade was always packed and it was hard to get a game in but once the SNES version came out, I was hooked. I can still feel the click of the power button.
Out of the 2 I felt Sony had the better Launch event.
I think the biggest miss is lost sales rather than games. Literally, every gamer I know is just waiting to buy a ps4 but there is no stock. If there was 5-6 million in stock at launch, I'd assure they'd be sold out by now. I don't think even Sony expected this much demand
