PS3: Doesn't get kicked…Competition Is In

A thread popped up on N4g.com from thegameraccess.com asking why the PS3 gets "Kicked Around". It got The Kingslayer's Journal thinking. Is this really true? Are there a multitude of factors why the PS3 isn't the generational game console leader? The Journal believes so. Take a read into an editorial that shines light on this generations gaming beyond the fanboy banter.

Nobody really cares about what a blogger has to say.

But I do, however, agree that the Xbox360 is generally superior.

Good read. Yup, Sony came into this gen with the attitude that PlayStation didn't have to worry about much to take it's place back on top. Competition is very much in.

I think it's helped both PS3 and 360 gamers as these 2 giants fight over being the best and having the best sales.

playstation brand is still strong!!

LethalToxins5785d ago

No, you can't completely blame the media, nor can you completely rule it out. The media, Sony's attitude, adopting a new format, high price point, the multi-plat era, the economy, etc., are all factors to Sony's current situation. No one thing is to blame.

you get *50* points.

we can say motion runaway hit,viral marketing,cover up of another hardware's failure,etc.but they all fall under everything he stated above.

nothing else needed to say but that sony has FIXED most of their negatives and will do so in the future to hopefully last 10 years like the 2 previous systems did and will do.

The Evil Within Deserved More: A Great Horror Series Left Behind

The Outerhaven writes: While I hold Bethesda's The Evil Within series as some of the best Survival Horror games available, it's clear that Bethesda has no intention of revisiting the series. While Capcom is still working on its Resident Evil series, I look back at the now-dead survival horror series from Bethesda, wondering why the series was left wide open, and yet still not revisited.

An OK horror series left behind. It had some great ideas, but it never knew how to play to its strengths. Instead, it came out like just another RE4 clone.

I would love for a third entry to come out, but it needs to learn to lean in on the psychological aspect and move away from the generic "pew pew" ideology at the center of the gameplay loop. It doesn't need to abandon it; it just needs to put it into better context, is all.

Also, try a first-person perspective instead. Too many 3rd-person games with nothing to offer but an avatar taking precious screen space. At least make it an actual option and not that janky-ass mess the second game pretended to have.

PS5/Pro/Switch 2 version of RDR2 seems most likely. I’d love a RDR3 but that seems years away

Cacabunga9h ago

Id be happy for just a 60fps patch

OmegaSoldati8h ago(Edited 8h ago)

Agreed, but at the same time RD2 came out in 2018. Could it be a remake of Red Dead 1?

Spoiler:

Marston died in the end of Red Dead and Red Dead 2 is set before that. Im curious now. What news could it be?

I'm pretty sure the next game will be another prequel as the story really has no where to go as far as being a western after red dead redemption. The next game will end with the ferry boat incident.

Their contracts are iron clas if they leak anything legit they are threatened with immense legal action.

My hopes for what this is are minimal its probably a meet and greet with the cast

I dont see why they would be involved in a upgraded version of rdr2 when the dialogue hasn't changed

He seems to have been cleared to do this as he purposely picked up the game, streamed it, and made the announcement.

XBLA Classic 'A World of Keflings' Is Coming to Steam, and There's a Demo

"Back in the innocent days of 2010, A World of Keflings was a fairly popular successor to A Kingdom for Keflings. I even wrote about it a few times in 2012! But the world of humans moved on, and NinjaBee's city-building/adventure game was last seen on the ill-fated Wii U in 2014. Fast-forward to the dark year of 2025, and not only is A World of Keflings coming to Steam, but there's already a playable demo! Perhaps the cheerful, no pressure gameplay that the Keflings bring is just what we need nowadays," says Co-Optimus.
