Following its announcements at last week's Game Developers Conference, Lazard's Colin Sebastian says Sony was the "comeback story" with the announcement of Home and the introduction of further PS3 development tools and technologies.
"While concerns over demand for next-generation hardware have overshadowed the initial ramp in sales of Sony's PS3 since November," said Sebastian, "we note that attendees of the annual Game Developers Conference last week were generally focused on future industry growth drivers, including a robust pipeline of next-generation software across multiple console, handheld and PC platforms, and emerging revenue streams such as online, mobile and advertising."
That was particularly true for Sony, Lazard's "comeback story," with Home and Sony's PS3 development tools generating "significant interest" from the development community.
While the mainstream media always sees things turning in favor of the hero, here are 6 games that own being a bad guy.
Video games are no longer just a simple past time. Today's games are evolving into true works of art. Offering intriguing narratives, cinematic setpieces, and profound messages, games can entertain us for hundreds of hours.
I never got around to mass effect - I’m skeptical that it would hold up if I were to try it now
Originally launched in 2011, El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron is coming to Nintendo Switch, so It's time to look back at the original.
Still have my ps3 copies. Bought it at launch and another one when I found it cheap and in perfect condition about 10 years ago. I wouldn’t buy it on Switch but if they made a PS5 version I would. I still have one of my PS3 Fats hooked up so good to go either way.
Id play it again on the switch. I wished my 360 version was bc but this is still a good way to play.
Sony's future looks a lot brighter now that they've laid out plans for the most sophisticated online environment yet, as well started delivering on their promise of Community and Creation (i.e. LBP). Can't wait to see their other surprises for E3 07.
is just the begenning of a bright future for Sony and PS3 owners.good times!
I'd drop a bombshell on the week of the Euro PS3 launch. What that bombshell is ... I don't know. Only Sony knows whats cooking in the oven but it sure smells good.
momentum = mass*velocity
Sony is picking up the velocity, it just needs a whopper of an announcement to justify the euro price
The bottom line is Sony has shown pretty pictures before. Until it hits the ps3, I'll remain skeptical.
If they produce what they promise, more power to them.
i'm sorry... home is not mind boggling. it'll get tiring really quick for non sims/second life fans. i think it's great but not a killer app that will pave the future for PSN. i'm not into virtual worlds plagued with advertisements and microtransactions for virtual gear. as for LBP, yeah i'll give them that. looks to be something worthy of a fun side scroller fans
it was expected sony would cover their wounds at gdc but i wouldn't say they made a comeback. c'mon sony, where's the MUST own app/game that will make people WANT a ps3?! make me want it like i wanted psone and ps2!
