Consider this: no previous console selling above the $400/£400 mark has ever been a success. So has Sony really dropped the ball? CVG take a look at the PS3's journey so far and assess its prospects for massmarket dominance.
Anyone who's seen a PS3 running on a beautiful HDTV will be in no doubt that it's an emotionally stirring and exciting piece of kit. But the road to retail was rocky to say the least. Delayed by over a year and with manufacturing costs spiralling ever upwards there's still considerable doubt consumers will buy into a games machine retailing for £425.
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.
The artist behind Fallout 4’s Deathclaw reveals just how bad things got back when Bethesda took over the series
People are stupid I get it. No one should feel unsafe,
But I think they need to talk about why they cut so many corners during the development process and why none of their games ever look current. And why they think all of this is okay while they charge full price.
As much as Bethesda deserve criticism, that's not really relevant to the reveal of Fallout 3 in 2007.
The default angle Kotaku always go for is to highlight the worst in gaming.
I would’ve focused on the creative.
CGM Writes: While we were over at PAX East, we were able to sit down with Goichi Suda (Suda51) and talk about the upcoming remaster of Shadows of the Damned
Spring Quarter implies April~June. They are late by about 5 months though (which is still pretty big).
The spin is everywhere, 78% of 50 stores have the machine, which if you walk into a local store in the US I have seen as many as 15 (locked away in a Best Buy case here in Chicago), but Sony spins that as good supply chain, not low demand. Even though the reason I have yet to pick one up is the high pricing point, and lack of killer app. that I MUST play now or I will feel left out, Sticking with my 360, and PS2 for the moment, and not regretting not having a PS3 for one second yet. So far, the article is on track, and with the release of some exclusives, the machine will sell well, maybe take the lead by 2009 (but almost everything would have to fall exactly sony's way for this to occur and some price drops would also need to occur).
Was interested in how pre-orders were going and this article seems to sum it up. I think its a very capable machine, yet the price tag for the limited game supply just does not justify its purpose at this time, but like the 360 this system has a killer lineup coming by end of 2008.
Only part of the article I saw as blatantly wrong was that this is the only system that does 1080p, as the 360 does 1080p as well and was introduced via firmware update when Splinter Cell: Double agent premiered.
*updated* Both systems do in fact upscale. If a games native resolution, or support resolutions are provided in 1080p then it is native 1080p, this should be listed as a resolution on the box. If it is not supported, yet your TV does support 1080p, you can force the system to upscale to 1080p in most cases. Yes, Says You the Xbox 360 does in fact have games that are native 1080p, so stop drinking the fan boy Kool-Aid.
Nobody ever factors inflation into the price of a console, and when done, some of the most successful consoles in 30 years of gaming history have cost at or near $600.
How much did you pay for your couch?
360 cant play games on 1080p lol there only thinking of the HD DVD
that only plays movies that can go 1080p and I'm not talking about
any peopl in this forum I'm talking about the ones that are in the comment forum of that web site.
Unless the native resolution and textures are provided via the developer for 1080p. Both systems can upscale if a television is capable of the display in a non 1080p game. Says You: Yes through a firmware update the Xbox 360 can play games in native 1080p depending on the game, do a little research fanboy, stop drinking the Kool-Aid. Not sure if the PS3 has troubled scaling to 1080i anymore as it was reported from launch till recently. They may have released an update to fix that. Why is this such a problem you ask, since 1080p is better? Problem there was that only this and last gen of televisions provide support up to 1080p so the majority of high definition televisions purchased before last year and alot of them purchased last year only support up to 1080i. So games would get scaled down to 720p, or 480p (which is basically one screen pass at old standard definition versus interlacing at old standard definition.
