Following the PS3 Slim and price reduction news today (among other announcements from Sony's conference at Gamescom), IndustryGamers hopped on the phone with Eric Lempel, SCEA's director of PlayStation Network operations, to talk about the impact of the new model PS3 and more.
The industry – publishers and analysts alike – have been practically crying out for a price cut on PlayStation 3 all year long. Sales have been slumping for PS3, and hardware sales in general in the U.S. are down across the board. Whether or not Microsoft and Nintendo cut prices as well remains to be seen, but bringing the PS3 down from $399 to $299 was a move many felt was long overdue. So what does Sony think? As you might expect, the company is quite optimistic about its PS3 business going forward.
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.
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...
We all are. Good to hear that they are finally launching a massive ad campaign.
Ya think?
