this looks like a zelda sorta rpg jus what i was looking for XD

edit n ya it looks like they could go 3d with it :D

menoyou5347d ago

It's a brilliant idea. I'm highly anticipating it.

Chuck-Norris5347d ago

that this game will have a level editor a-la rpg maker?

This gives me the sense of "The Good Ole Days". And i love the art and graphic direction.

ThanatosDMC5347d ago

So ummm... what the hell kind of game is this? Just because it's exclusive to the PS3 doesnt necessarily mean it's going to be that great. Remember how Haze? I wanna see this in action first or something.

freeblue5347d ago

although i still hate Sony for its lack of JRPGs. i love sony for all those unique titles that they have :)

Here you go here, video from the article posted the other day

Sweet! Thanks. Damn, i lost a bubble for questioning somebody's comment and point of view on another thread. I wonder how many accounts he had...

The game reminds me of Zelda way too much. Not that it's a bad thing.

I like From Software. I have most of their games specially on the PS2. I'm a big time Armored Core addict... hehehe.

Yes it does look great and a lot of fun and a big break from non stop bombardment of shooter( no offense to uncharted an K2 those are special)
edit: is this gonna have 3-D support? because from the looks of it, the image feels like they're sticking out of the screen.

TOO PAWNED5347d ago

nope i don't, have ZERO interest in it.

ExgamerLegends25347d ago

I mean I'm not saying the game'll suck but I'm really not digging that art style. I see what they're trying to do but its just really unattractive. Maybe it just takes some getting use to.

maruchan27six5347d ago

It is because gamers now only used to see beautiful graphics and new gameplays.
I read somewhere that wrote the developers are aiming for gamers aged late 20s to early 30s, people who played 8 bit games the most.With some nostalgics and retro theme, they hope people will not forget how fun and amazing those old games are.

PirateThom5347d ago

Seriously. I love the artstyle, it was the "retro style" (and you have no idea how odd it is for me to call 8-bit retro) that first attracted me to it.

Darkfocus5347d ago

If you have zero interest why are you even in this article? clearly your somewhat interested.

Too blurry. Even things that are not that far away are blurry,

These PS3 Games are Going to get Really Expensive

Could you get rich by investing in PS3 games? Almost definitely not. Can you make a few bucks by flipping PS3 games over the years? Yeah, sure! It wouldn’t even be that difficult. But let’s face it: Once these games are in your collection, you’re probably keeping them forever.

There's a reason I didn't buy most of these when they came out.

MadLad975d ago

After a game's multiple generations old, and can't be had new at a reasonable price, that's when I see nothing wrong with emulation.

What's the point of paying someone scalper prices when the dev/publisher isn't even benefiting from it?

mkis007975d ago

Emulation doesn't stop a games physical box from becoming collectible.

Knightofelemia975d ago

I paid $30 for SH Downpour on PS3 now it's around $70-$85 Canadian Lolipop Chainsaw I paid $15 and it has really gone up in price. I wonder if Transformers War and Fall of Cybertron will go up in price two of the best Transformers games every made.

neutralgamer1992975d ago

In 5 years time all those games will be worth at least $150 to $200 that you listed

975d ago
neutralgamer1992975d ago

Ever since Sony announced that they would shut down PS3 store these prices have skyrocketed and even though Sony backtracked now most gamers realize that it's a matter of time before the PlayStation 3 store is shut down. If you want these games get them while you can even if digital because once that story shut down the physical prices will just go crazy high we saw that already

And many of these games did not sell like crazy amounts so they are limited number of copies available for sale at any given time

MadLad975d ago

Folklore is a game I've always really wanted to play, but I got a PS3 late in the generation, and it was already really expensive to find, being it didn't exactly sell well, therefore was already kind of a collector's item.

Kept hoping I'd find a cheap copy randomly at stores and flea markets, but never happened.

franwex975d ago

I got mine for $5 at Walmart like 10 years ago. I have yet to play it.

neutralgamer1992975d ago

It was available at GameStop for a while for under $20. Don't know har happened but GameStop started to sell their used games based on ebay prices it seems

You can still find it for around $60-70 and which in my opinion is a good price for a game that will be worth double if not triple that in next 5 years

Mr Logic975d ago

Have you considered modding your PS3? Neither Sony or the dev would be getting money from that Folklore purchase. Kind of a victimless crime at that point.

MadLad975d ago (Edited 975d ago )

@neutral

Honestly, I just want to actually give the experience a try. I'm not someone who would buy it at a premium just to potentially rip someone off down the road.
I mean, there are collectors out there and if paying a couple hundred dollars is worth it to them then more power to them, but I'm not one to be on either end of that exchange.

I know it's taboo, but I might dig in and see the state of PS3 emulation on PC. I have a good PC, so it might be able to power through the often times poor performance, being PS3 is known to be hard to emulate.

I've never emulated anything past the PS2/Dreamcast but, as I said in my first post, I don't see anything wrong with emulation if the game you want to play can only be had used, with no money going to the creators.

PS3 Prices are now Crashing (Time to Buy! )

It's been a roller coaster on the PS3 front. Prices went absolutely insane a few weeks ago, but with the PS3/Vita stores staying open for now, prices have plummeted back to earth. This article breaks it down, complete with buying suggestions and current prices.

You mean I don't have to buy Puppeteer for $140?!

neutralgamer19921105d ago (Edited 1105d ago )

Yes you don't have to pay that but if you want one you will definitely pay over $75+

headline says PS3 games prices crashing down but those prices are still way above MSRP and in the $70-80 range. These prices in my opinion will never come down to where they were before sony announced they were shutting down PSN for ps3/vita. Because before that announcement you could have bought most of these games for under $40 (even less) and now they are $70 plus

Here's my suggestion a lot of these games did not sell well for example splatterhouse, 3d dot hero, lollipop chainsaw and puppeteer just to name few so it's all supply and demand. Because these didn't set sales records there Are less copies in the 2nd hand market. I do believe this in only 5 years time ps3 game prices will be to a point where most won't or can't buy them besides collectors

If you're looking to grab yourself a copy now is the best time or wait a few weeks as soon as prices come down a bit more buy them don't wait

isarai1105d ago

So glad i have a feel for games that will jump in price, i really only grab games i want to play, but i can tell when it's a games that will not only be hard to find, but expensive in the future. Grabbed puppeteer for $7 like a year ago from gamestop. And the Metal Gear Legacy collection for $12 and got 3d dot game heroes free(b3g1) was quite the grab and all 3 were on my list.

Profchaos1105d ago

I think you're right and done of the lesser known games will be harder and more expensive to find in the flipside you could probably continue to buy GTA IV and cod for a few dollars for the next 10 years.

neutralgamer19921104d ago (Edited 1104d ago )

Profchaos

If you look at the call of duty games on PlayStation 3 they hold their value quite well some of them are actually quite expensive if you want the original case with the game manual and a good disc

isarai

Me too I bought a lot of PlayStation 3 games over time I have over 200 of them I can't imagine if I want to buy all of them and now it would cost double if not triple what I paid overtime

MetalProxy1104d ago

Holy crap I have a copy of puppeteer still sealed 🤯. Paid very little during clearance because nobody cared. Had no idea it would increase that much... lol

Eidolon1104d ago

Got with PS+, great value!

OptimusDK1104d ago

But but nobody plays old games SONY ...?

Nicknasty1104d ago (Edited 1104d ago )

Wow, I feel lucky. I grabbed a sealed copy on eBay back in August of last year for $25. Excellent game!

Still own Shadows of the damned, another great game and Lollipop chainsaw. I can’t part with a lot of my older games.

Godmars2901105d ago

But I'm not sellin'! Not even - especially - at a fair price!

metalhead1104d ago

When did PS3 games become stocks? Lmao

BrainSyphoned1104d ago

Since the invention of people treasuring sealed items. Or even a instruction booklet that were just left laying on the counter at every Funcoland for years as free to take. I sold an empty partially wrapped Nintendo console box for $300 that some guy gave me in store 20 years ago.

Jiub1104d ago

You wrote Funcoland and I just went back 20 years hahaha. Those price sheets were the best. I knew everything I wanted before I got in the store and how much it would cost

Yui_Suzumiya1104d ago

Since most Gamestops quit selling them, lol

Recently I sold Lightning Returns for $25, Tales of Symphonia for $50, Bleach for $40, Night Trap for $90 and The Orange Box for $45. I'm making a business of finding PS3 games for cheap and selling them for slightly less than what other people are selling them for on ebay. I ordered both the standard version of Doom Collection for Switch and collector's edition for Doom Collection for PS4 for the purpose of resale in the future.

MasterChief36241104d ago

I can't see this business model paying off well in the long run.

neutralgamer19921104d ago

Honestly as more things become digital and these digital store fronts on consoles won't stay up forever I think game prices will only go up. Especially now that Sony made an announcement only to backtrack it's not if now it's when they close it(I can't imagine pss storefront staying up for another 5 years)

A lot of niche ps3 games that sold under 1 million are becoming very expensive. We only saw the trailer I believe once psn shuts down on ps3 we will see what real high prices will look like(I hope I am wrong about psn shutting down on ps3 but I don't think Sony can justify keeping it live if there is very little traffic)

PS3 Prices Have Officially Exploded (and they’re not done)

The Ghetto Gamer has been predicting and tracking PS3 prices over the past year. The last few months have seen a massive spike in the pricing of PS3 games, and it may be too late to pick up some of the more rare and hard-to-find ones at a reasonable price. Some of these are nuts.

isarai1123d ago

This happens to every retro console, there's a tipping point, this is ps3's tipping point

waverider1123d ago

Stil remember selling ps3 titles to buy a PS4. but i keept the ones i liked more. Did the same with the titles of the PS4 to get a PS5.

Terry_B1123d ago
