Nintendo may be considered the quintessential "family" company in the world of video games, but Sony wants a piece of that pie, too.
According to a recent article at Video Business, Sony is planning to drop some heavy campaigns designed to target all ages, and this involves games like SingStar, LittleBigPlanet, and MLB 07: The Show. And in addition to the software, Sony will advertise the PS3 as the "most comprehensive Blu-Ray Disc player available on the market." At this point, it's the only Blu-Ray player that will also play DVDs, and it's also the only one that is Web-enabled.
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."
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.
Taking a trip back to Housemarque's forgotten platformer.
The Simpsons: Hit and Run, The Legend of Dragoon, and Chrono Trigger would benefit substantially from a modern remake.
The Xenosaga trilogy, the Wild Arms games, Xenogears, Parasite Eve, Dino Crisis, Suikoden. The Warriors game I know nothing about but it looks interesting. Anybody can do a list of games they want to see get modernized I would lose my shit if Namco brought the Xenosaga trilogy to modern consoles.
sony needs to draw the kids in quick, i know its too expencive for kids to buy a ps3 but if they dont find a way soon to pry the cash from the parents hands then all the kids will be getting cheaper consoles like the 360 and wii
with games out there like viva pinata, blue dragon, banjo kazooie, naruto, kameo, mario and so on where else are the kids girls and casual gamers going to go? ill add my mum to that list....she loves her 360 :p
A price drop would really help Sony.Many people want a Playstation 3 but can't afford it so they go with the 360 and or Wii,that explains the Wii sales:)
i mean i gave up on sega and went to sony, gave up on them and went to MS, times change and people grow up and learn what consoles suit them best
and at this point its true sony doesnt have the games to make the ps3 a worthwhile purchace, same goes for the wii
good luck to sony changing their image, i dont really like them anymore but obviously they still have their fans
honestly....the wii sold cause it delivered on what it said it would....the ps3 will deliver, but hasent shown up yet....trust me when i say it will do much better when a price drop rolls in..if they can get it to $450 that would be the sweet spot. the article is right though, educating people about the ps3 and all its features would promt them to take a closer look.
