2009 is the year Sony has been waiting for. There is no doubt that the release of Killzone 2 will mark the beginning of Sony's serious entry into this console war. Killzone 2 is Sony's main title and everyone knows this, including the Sony Corporation. It's the only title that's been talked about for 4 years since before the birth of PS3.
It's the only title that has yet to be released. It has become quite clear that this game has become the centerpiece of the Playstation 3. Killzone 2 will start it all. In the meantime, the PS3 will be stocked with more exclusives than gamers can count on both hands. The timing couldn't be more perfect as its' technical capabilities have started to align together within the same year. Strategy? Or luck?
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.
Deja Vu..Zip back a year and same kind of stories were being published all around. Cheaper BD players will definately hurt ps3s sales since 70% of people are just using it as BD players, proven by lack of software sales on the console.
ps3 is an entertainment system, with one of its core function being a bluray player.
A trojan horse for bluray adoption, it has already fulfilled that quite successfully. It was never meant to be sold as a bluray player. And that is why it doesn't matter if there are now cheaper bluray players than ps3. It has already served its bluray adoption purpose.
It baffles me why ppl like you wish to believe that ps3 is meant to be sold as a bluray player.
2009 Is really poised for greatness in gaming particularly with Sony. the PSP is getting tons of games and the S3 PSN is getting exclusives left and right in all regions and some killer 3rd party support. i can bet some really big summer block buster movies will help make blu ray stick around and a new price point for Sony's flagship console will serve as a catalyst for good sales and stronger market adoption. and lets all get to the games. Something they are giving on a silver platter starting with KZ2.. drools this year is a year of gaming heaven.
and the xbots will be sitting in the corner with his xbox 360, cutting himself, dripping blood as red as his rings of death, because he cannot play PS3's superior games OR Blu-ray movies, while writing poetry about last year's sales.
:DDDDDDDD
AHAHAA, I can't freakin wait for Killzone 2, that game is going to be the best game ever to grace a console and it's going to be sooo huge that it's going to boost hardware sales through the roof. Goodluck finding a PS3 after Killzone 2 releases.
