Pocket-Lint: As Sony celebrates its Christmas sales success story for the PlayStation 3 (even though reports suggest the gaming giant is still losing money on each console it sells) Pocket-lint posed some questions to John Koller, the director of hardware marketing for SCEA about the high-end console's immediate future.
3D is set to be big in 2010, and Sony is not standing still in this market with 3D BRAVIA TVs due to hit this summer, which incidentally is when the PS3 is due its firmware update that will turn it into a fully-fledged, stereoscopic 3D-capable games platform, not to mention separate updates also due that will bring support for 3D Blu-ray.
Read on for our Q&A covering 3D, a 1TB PS3 and an App Store for the PlayStation Network...
Gary Green said: We have a juxtaposition of 2D and 3D visuals, flashy turn-based combat, quirky anime characters with cheeky dialogue with plenty of partial nudity; Yes, this is a Compile Heart JRPG. Whilst the engine is borrowed from Hyperdimension Neptunia mk2, Mugen Souls is more of a Disgaea spin-off. It’s not a strategy RPG as such, it merely sits within Disgaea’s ever-expanding universe (Multiverse? Netherverse? Your guess is as good as mine). You won’t find cameos though, since Mugen Souls is a franchise which aims to stand on its own two feet.
Huzaifa from eXputer: "2008 was home to the likes of Call of Duty: World at War, Dead Space, GTA 4, Far Cry 2, Left 4 Dead, and many other hits, which is outright remarkable."
Just about every year in the 7th generation was great and something we most likely won't experience again.
2009 for example had Assassin's Creed 2, Batman: Arkham Asylum, Dragon Age: Origins, Uncharted 2, Halo 3: ODST, Killzone 2, Borderlands, Bayonetta, and Demon's Souls to name a few.
While the mainstream media always sees things turning in favor of the hero, here are 6 games that own being a bad guy.
Pretty much all of these games listed are based around a morality system you don't have to be bad and you don't have to be good.
It seems to have left out some real amazing games like red dead redemption 1/2,ass effect and true crime la/ny
Armored Core VI?
Ok, I'm really missing something here. Just beat chapter 3 earlier this evening, unlocked A-rank Arena fights. I'm not seeing or sensing any branching paths or morality system and I've done every side mission and arena fight available to me up to that fight.
Is something big coming soon to branch the story?
No mention of Grand Theft Auto? Saints Row (original trilogy), Manhunt? Also The Suffering (depending on the ending you get).
And yeah, he's right. You can have a 1TB PS3 now if you want one. That's the nice thing about the PS3 being able to use non-Sony proprietary hardware.
And you will be able to play it all on your new £1000+ TV. Many others and I wont be playing 3D games for a long time.
myself as well as many others will be enjoying ps3 games in 3d on our sony bravias because we work to make a living and are willing to spend money on certain luxuries. not everything is for everyone and if a person really wants something then they will work towards it. a lot of people have never experienced stereoscopic 3d. dont bash it til youve tried it. after experiencing it myself, its my opinion that its visually amazing and well worth the investment.
not to start any flame here but just wondering if xbox360 has any 3d capabilities?! its the ps3 that i always hear about; it only does everything. what about the others? can they do 3d or everything?
3D... The new addition to the PS3 that no one asked for! Cool concept and I am sure it will be used in the years to come, but I am growing tired of them ignoring a simple request by many gamers.
CROSS GAME CHAT. Give it to us... even if it is going to be part of a paid PSN expansion, can I please have it already?
