From CVG: Today some European and US websites thought they'd dug up a real exclusive from our colleagues over at Official PlayStation Magazine, claiming that in their latest issue OPM had said the UK would get 150,000 shiny new PS3s come launch time in November. A quick call quickly put us right, with OPM pointing out they'd, erm, actually said no such thing."
"Our best estimate for the UK allocation stands at around 250k, although that's strictly unofficial of course and Sony might even spare us a few more. "
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.
More like 50,000 for the UK. Expect launch chaos.
But 150k PS3 will be more than the 360 launch in the uk - so it will be a bit better are worse or even chaos, ill make a pre order as soon as my local game store start taking it.
Ha ha ha! 150k for the UK? Yeah right. I'll believe that when I see it.
UK always gets screwed over when it comes to launch days from Sony on both Consoles and Games.
The UK got screwed over on the X360 too.
The only people who supply enough consoles to the public is Nintendo!
By mid 2007 everyone who pre order a ps3 will get it.
If i don,t get my PS3 at launch ill be very happy always why becasuse ill be playing GOW Forza 2 and more great games on Xbox Live.
I would love to consider getting this system at launch . But Sony to me is still keeping us in the dark of what their $499 and $599 system could do and time is getting close to the release date.
