MP1st - A trailer for The Last of Us Remastered PS4 version has been released, and here’s a small taste of what you can expect from this upgraded version.
Pre-orders begin March 14 for the iconic new controller inspired by The Last of Us series.
I've liked the recent designs lately but this seems like a bit of a miss I would of expected a more tattered design it's to clean to really sell it as a tlou theme.
Not a big fan of the three white symbols. They fit too neatly on the controller, making the design feel too clean for the game's vibe. I think it would work better with either one large symbol or all three in different sizes, with parts cut off at the edges, like a quick, rough paint job meant to stand out rather than look polished.
Missed opportunity….they could have used the cordysceps virus strands wrapping out it. Spores, vines, anything pertaining to the actual series other than faction symbols.

I'll tell ya, not only has MS dropped the ball this gen when it comes to themed systems but since switching to the design labs they also dropped it on themed controllers. Last gen they had lots of them, this gen only a handful like starfield and halo but everything else that was specialized had to go through design labs. Fallout, CoD, RedFall.
Sony has done a bang up job with the themed controllers this gen even though they have slacked big time on using the plates on the PS5 for specialized things. I have the spiderman ones but not a fan of the Lebron James plates even though i have the controller. And no GoW plates or Astrobot plates. Both MS and Sony just arent putting in the effort to encourage people to buy multiples or special themed systems this gen compared to last. And I'm the perfect customer for that as that is what i really like to collect the hardware/controllers.

I'm basically the only player on my PS5 (even with my kids).. and I have a black dualsense, 30th dualsense, 30th edge, an Astro Bot one (still in box), a Helldivers one (still in box).. and now this?
guess I'll just throw it on the pile, lol.
I find it somewhat ironic that there is little gamer outrage for a never-ending stream of overpriced “limited edition” controller shells that no one is forced to buy, but if there is an optional “Pro” console released for a premium, it’s the complete opposite reaction.
Limited edition controllers are the definition of a cash grab.
Everyone prioritizes things based on different desires. It's weird to me to prioritize a controller, but people actually collect them and prefer them over better hardware. In the end, at least no one is forcing any of us to buy any of them.
Maybe because it's cheaper to collect, i guess? Idk there are some pretty cool looking ones out there.
I think it's more so that people think it will set a bad precedent going forward for console pricing, BUT Sony of all people should know the sensitivity of pricing when it comes to consoles.
You must be new to gaming. Anytime in this industry, gamers accept a higher pricing model without protest; it becomes the new norm going forward. It is like you won't mind if the PS6 is $700 to $1000.
We see this happening with microtransactions, $70 new game releases, $10 remastered PS5 upgrades, PC components, online subscriptions, and DLC being advertised prior to the release of the base game.
both can be cash grabs. But at least the Pro brings "some" enhancements with it. These controllers are identical to the regular counterparts, just with a paint job. Plus an extra $10 for a controller isn't the same as $700.
The PlayStation 3 is Sony’s most interesting home console ever, but what’s most interesting of all is trying to nail down the very best games on a console with hundreds of incredible games. Let’s give it a shot.
We desperately need Motorstorm back. Evolution is no more though and this makes me sad
Sly Thieves in Time
Stay the Party
Portal 2
Dj Hero
Demon’s Souls
God of war Ascension
2 of those games got railed through the “gaming media” during release.
Sly and god of war.
Both of which were fantastic games.
Yes it’s a decent list of popular games with a heavy hand on FPS and no Warhawk or Starhawk 2 of the best games (not sale wise) on ps3.
I would buy a Starhawk again even if it didn’t have a graphics upgrade hell I would even take a new one with micro transactions 😱🤯
I've noticed a recent nostalgia for the PS3 and I don't get it for me it's been my least favourite generation to date and I've been gaming since the NES I just feel like the ambition of the developers outweighed the capabilities of the consoles so I remember lots of games running in the lower end of 20fps range and I remember for the first time ever actually disliking the duelshock 3 and it's curved triggers
Sure there were some standouts and great games but that's the only gen I switched entirely to PC gaming
Maybe the recent nostalgia is because pretty much all of its games are trapped on that console. People want to play them on more modern hardware. hell... if XB can do it then so can Sony. there are competent emulators out there that can run on PS4/5 hardware but Sony just wont let them become official... why is that?
If we are talking least favorite generations (personally) then this one is certainly mine. i had more fun playing 8th, 7th and 6th gen stuff than 9th. And it isnt like i dont have access to do so... the heavy hitters just havent shown up anywhere close to those previous gens. The few here and there just doesnt cut it compared to the likes of constant good games that showed up in 6th, 7th and 8th gen. hell.... I'll even throw in 5th gen has been better than this one.
I tend to agree there's lots of amazing games locked to the PS3 like GTA IV or mgs 4 but then again my issue was never with the content the PS3 had but rather it's performance many other people have said the PS3 felt like it couldn't walk and chew bubblegum at the same time using PSN and downloading a game could take a few minutes to just start a download.
I typically don't worry all that much about performance I've never had a problem with games that run at 30 but games like crysis 2, Skyrim are good examples where the performance was so unstable you would never even touch the top of the frame cap and the hitching was worse than say Goldeneye on the n64
I think emulation is more than possible on the ps5 though it's just that Sony has no incentive to rush it's development it will likely be a ps6 feature if it ever happens at all.
But yeah the 9th gen has been so bad from a content perspective thats a given I see constant articles where people are frequently expressing their disappointment around the industry as a whole right now to much live service competition that sinks longstanding studios and consumes Devs time less ambition and games cost so much to make they have to play it safe.
The 5th gen was easily better than the 9th we had some all time greats crash, Spyro, Tony hawk, mgs, Mario,64, Goldeneye, Mario kart 64 the list goes on. The 5th gave us a new dimension and I remember being blown away by how much more open gaming had become the 4th gen with the mega drive and SNES was great and very easy to still revisit some of the greatest games of all time came out like earthbound, secret of mana, sonic , Mario world etc but saving our games was still not a standard function or a given so gaming was still evolving but it was very impressive to see some of the tricks Devs used like dithering to give us new experiences those earlier gens limitations bred innovation.
if XB can do it so can sony? I didn't know xbox had a cell processor in their older consoles, that's the reason why ps3 was so cool, but also the reason why games are hostage there and no, xbox did nothing similar even though their backward compatbility is good, they always had a similar architecture to their consoles.
Sorry Michael... I guess you missed the obvious part where i said there are already emulators out that do this. and that is what XB is doing... emulators for OG and 360 games. Its why the full slate is not BC on XBO/Series.
Can't wait to get this game.
Man, I wonder how much was added to the rest of the game. I am still surprise with how amazing it looks on the PS3 though, truly a great way to end it's generation (I know still going)
I'm hoping for a June release
they seem to be imporving loads on lighting this gen,taking away that horrible black
