Gary Green said: You’ll be forgiven if you haven’t heard of the Ar Tonelico trilogy. The previous two games arrived so late in the PS2’s life-cycle that they simply went unnoticed. While most were tinkering with their shiny new PS3s, Ar Tonelico: Melody of Elemia and Ar Tonelico II: Melody of Metafalica were being ‘returned to sender’ by your local Game stores. Luckily, you won’t need to have played them to understand and appreciate this third and final chapter, Qoga (pronounced k-yoga) tells the story of a racial war between humans and Reyvateils, a breed of biologically produced female cyborgs capable of reproduction, while still having a digital mind.
Oh my god. I kinda wish this would get a remaster on PS5, it would be awesome. One of my favorite games on PS3.
That and 3D Dot Game Heroes. It's a shame that some stuff is stuck on PS3.
"The Singapore-based indie games publisher Spiral Up Games and Qingdao/Shandong-based (China) indie games developer Aluba Studio, today announced with great happiness and excitement that their hacking adventure "Cyber Manhunt 2: New World" is coming to PC via Steam EA on May 10th, 2024." - Jonas Ek, TGG.
"The Berlin-based (Germany) indie games developer Tarock Interactive today announced with great delight and happiness that their open-world survival/crafting game "Lost Legions", is now currenly in development for PC." - Jonas Ek, TGG.
Blockbuster is going to get a lot more members fast and ironically, secondhand gaming will be more popular than ever.
I think this is disgusting. Especially as Activision were slating PS3 for being high priced, shocking.
that is why I will only buy Activision published games used from now on if they happen to release something worth buying. Screw Activision and their hypocrisy!
It means Activision are trolls.
Seriously. The only reason Activision has an issue with the PS3 is because the overall number of people who buy their peripherals are less than that of the 360. Sad thing is that percentage-wise, a higher percentage of PS3 gamers buy those peripherals.
Activision makes a killing on cheap pieces of plastic and they'll keep putting them out there as long as people buy them. DJ Hero. Guitar Hero. Band Hero. Tony Hawk.
You can bet if motion controllers take off they'll be shipping a custom 'gun' motion controller with all of their FPS games.
Now, what does this have to do with the price point increase? The closer they can get their non-peripheral games closer to their peripheral-ridden games the less of a hard choice it is for gamers to go out on a limb and buy those cheap pieces of plastic.
