Both Wii and PS3 have web browsers, but it's fair to say that internetweb surfing is very much a secondary feature for both. It's all about the games really, with a side-order of Blu-ray goodness in PS3's case. However, Web 2.0 will be a factor in both, for example Sony's upcoming Home virtual world, and Nintendo's connected News Channel and Forecast Channel.
Gary Green said: Namco Bandai heard the call of many fans asking for the PlayStation release of Tales of Graces which was originally released seemingly exclusively for the Wii back in 2009. If you’re acquainted with the Tales series then Graces f won’t be something entirely new to you, yet if you’re a newcomer then you’ll find a plethora of gameplay mechanics and nuances that distinguish this series from other JRPGs. While the game finds itself following the traditional archetype of JRPGs, such as a somewhat clichéd story, Graces has something to offer to both veterans and newcomers alike.
Huzaifah from eXputer: "Sleeping Dogs from the early 2010s is one of the best open-world games out there but in dire need of a resurgence."
You say "yet" as if it's even possible anymore. United Front Games is gone, along with anyone that made this game what it is
That’s what happens when games sell poorly. And I’ve seen people wonder why people cry when a game sells badly… this is your answer.
Majority of the time it's true but if a company/publisher is big (in terms of money), they can take a hit or 2. e.g. I am not worried about Rebirth sales as Square will make Remake 3 anyway but if FF 17 doesn't sell then Square might need to look for alternative. <-- my humble opinion
Oh okay, Activision owned True Crime, but when that didn’t sell as intended it was canceled. Six months later Square Enix bought the rights and changed the title to Sleeping Dogs.*
*As per Wikipedia
Sleeping Dogs was a sleeper hit back then. It was fantastic. It actually still is. Would love a sequel to this, or at least a revive of True Crime series.
Grasshopper Manufacture's Shadows of the Damned returns this year with a remaster, and Hardcore Gamer got to talk with Suda51 about it, among other things...
is my primary usage for the machine (sad, but true!) It's actually a quite capable quick-and-dirty little web browser, for all intents and purposes. The primary benefit being the relatively quick on-screen pointable keyboard for text entry.
I've yet to usefully utilise the PS3's browser, primarily because I've come close to permantently losing my vision while attempting to read the microscopic fonts, as well as my mind when trying to type ANYTHING with the PS3's touchtone-phone-like method of text entry.
The new (limited) zoom-in feature and full qwerty keyboard added in the last firware update help somewhat, but still can't compare to the Wii's intuitiveness (thanks to that swanky lil' Wiimote!)
Opera browser on the Wii allows you to zoom text almost as big as your hand. I like the new text column feature.
I dunno, the browsers are pretty good for looking at youtube and stuff. Especially if someone is using your computer. I dont have the PS3 one, but the wiimote makes the wii opera browser pretty damn sexy to use.
You can't go fullscreen or it just stops about 15 seconds in.
I tried to view flash the otehr day on Wii and it would never finish anything- it got even up to 2/3 of the way through one and just reloaded the whole thing. Still have no idea what it was doing.
BTW: Web 2.0 is still a completely stupid concept. Just because myspace (preceeded by GeoCities personal homepages) and youtube (preceeded by video sharing via newsgroups) came along, we're all suddenly running a new version of the internet? That's like your cousin Bob who grew a moustache, and now he's trying to get everyone to call him Bob2.0.
