It's the year 2006. Sony flaps their mouth off about the 4D Playstation 3. They arrogantly slap a 600.00 price tag and tell gamers to get a second job. After that they tell the world that people will buy it even if it didn't have games. The world lost respect for Sony that day, in the year 2006. They've been fighting to regain it ever since.
It didn't take long for Sony to realize that there is a fine line between confidence and arrogance. In less than 6 months they got their act together and started to take action. Their prime focus was to repel and dispel the many fanboy and media bashings that soon followed.
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.
killzone 2 will give respect to the videogame industry people in hollywood will look at it and say wow this is what videogames are wow i want a playstation 3
Not my Respect and Billions others like me.
that's all it really needs. especially from some of those biased sites.
the 360 and the ps3 can and are co existing this generation..
everyone is looking for the death of a console but there will be none.. at least not this generation...
there are some unhappy 360 and ps3 owners that are a bit envious of the other console
but ultimately i think all gamers are happy with their purchases....
if a game is going to decide a victor though.. it wont be halo, killzone etc.. those are just upgrades to previous games..
gta3 was a new direction for the previous gta titles.. that was industry changing...
we have really yet to see that so far..
halo fans are happy but they just got a newer halo
killzone fans will be happy but its really an upgrade to killzone and cod4
uncharted is great but its just a replacement for tomb raider
so far the rpg's are niche market
rpgs like oblivion and fallout 3 are just rpg like and are really just hack and slash/shooters
ffxiii will be multi plat at least in the u.s.
i think the real defining game changers will be: (just an opinion)
heavy rain
alan wake
champions online
huxley
dc universe
the agency
maybe not in sales but i think those games will change how gamers view their and each others consoles

********edit************
to add to the games i mentioned that would help change the view of each consoles, some of the mmorpgs would be just decent if not just accepted in the pc world
the mmorpgs while not new to consoles, is a leap forward as far as backing and expectation for a console market....

which is why i feel microsoft dropped the ball not bringing their flight simulation games to the 360
KILL ZONE 2 SAY: HELLOOOOOOO.....
