Just finished Heavy Rain and now I have this game for my birthday.

Thanks again Ken Kutaragi...the FATHER of Playstation

Gabe Newell: "PlayStation 3 Is a Total Disaster"

MCV report reports that Gabe Newell, the founder and managing director of Valve Software, has labelled the PlayStation 3 "a total disaster."

"The PS3 is a total disaster on so many levels, I think It’s really clear that Sony lost track of what customers and what developers wanted," Newell told Game Informer magazine. "I’d say, even at this late date, they should just cancel it and do a ‘do over’. Just say, ‘This was a horrible disaster and we’re sorry and we’re going to stop selling this and stop trying to convince people to develop for it.’"

Hey Gabe, this movie clip is for you...

http://www.youtube.com/watc...

Now do you see mostly American and British media? Now do you see MS fanboys? Now do you SEE what Ken Kutaragi was talking about?

NOW DO YOU SEE????

Anyone? Anyone?

Replace "anyone" with PS3 doubters and doom article writers

http://www.youtube.com/watc...

I guess it pays off to invest in your OWN developers after all and not in 3rd party developers.

What could top this? Something on PS3 will, but what and when?

Oh and Joe Danger looks awesome as well, PSN getting better everyday.

At 00:46 I was Holy F****** S*** O_O, and it continued to amaze me with all the new scenes with updated graphics,! Damn them, they shoudln't have mixed the new massive graphical scenes with those very very very old!!! They almost look like two different games from different generations!

KRATOS: The Game industry tremble at my name! Competion is weak. NINTENDO and M$are dead and I wield the Blade! We can win the Great War but not in this time! Together we will destroy the petty competion and
we will see the gaming Industry crumble before us! Come with me Gaia.
Return to my time! Victory awaits!

Joke aside...how they achieved that, this looks almost like a PS4 game

Spoilers?

Most of that happens in the first few minutes. I can't even imagine what happens after this... and the ending. FFS!

How many used 360s are going to show up at your local store? You can tell from the silence that the x-box fanatics have given up their fight against logic.

Kratos is the most badass character alive. This is the most badass game ever created. GOTD, yup... decade.

Foliage5587d ago

"No one else is mentioning the FIRST PERSON KRATOS KILL!!! OMFG this is going to be another GOTY for Sony, it just blows another Halo out of the water."

I know, bloody brilliant! And they mentioned that it happens immediately at the start of the game. That is the introduction!!!

Halo what?

Simon_Brezhnev5587d ago

Well atleast the footage made the haters go away for now. i wont watch it i dont want 2 see any spoilers. To everybody getting GOW3 i suggest you be M.I.A. from IGN a week or 2 before it comes out. You know the haters are going to try to spoil the ending for everybody.

thereapersson5587d ago (Edited 5587d ago )

There really is no argument that the haters can come up with without looking even more desperate than they already are. Coming into this article with their agenda is pretty much equivalent to a suicide bombing attempt.

EDIT:

LOL, as of my editing this comment, not one comment in this entire article has a single disagree. Even the stealth trolls know that this game is too epic to deny... :)

Microsoft Xbox 3605587d ago

PS3 is without a doubt the console graphic king of this generation. What we just saw was a glimpse of the future of high visual fidelity.

PS3.... It really only does everything.

doG_beLIEfs5587d ago

"No one else is mentioning the FIRST PERSON KRATOS KILL!!! OMFG this is going to be another GOTY for Sony, it just blows another Halo out of the water."

I know, that was ridiculous. But somehow I can see Edge saying that this game is not original enough or its TOO GOOD LOOKING and make up some stupid argument that graphics should not look that good yet kinda like Gamespot did when they said Ratchet and Clank had TOO MUCH VARIETY.

On top of that Jeff tweeted that we saw almost nothing of the game.

Next up in the jaw drop-o-meter

D4RkNIKON5587d ago (Edited 5587d ago )

"Coming into this article with their fanboy agenda is as funny as a FAILED suicide bombing attempt" Fixed.

Foliage5587d ago (Edited 5587d ago )

"You know the haters are going to try to spoil the ending for everybody."

That is very true, but this is the type of game that even knowing the ending will not spoil it. That's true quality. This isn't like playing through Halo 3 just for the purpose of trying to find out if the Chief finally dies. This is about every minute leading up to it. Every second we get to experience the story "Kratos", will redefine the industry. Every kill sets the bar higher, every camera move causes other devs to crumple up and toss their GDD, every line of dialogue makes an xbox fan cry himself to sleep. This is what quality is.

At the end of the day, while they are reading about the ending, we'll be playing our way to it.

But hey, maybe Halo Reach will be in HD this time around.

"The Last Guardian"... no need to expand upon that, but I'm sure it took a few people who were on the brink of the edge, well over it. Future-Proof. Good night bots.

Foliage5587d ago

About one hundred comments (two hundred if you count the other thread), no negative spin comments, and no stealth disagrees.

Anyway, I think we can safely say this game is GOTY just from that video alone.

Syronicus5587d ago

First it was Uncharted, then Killzone 2. Then Uncharted 2 and thenHeavy Rain... Now, the PS3 has shown us yet again that there is no limit to the epic games it can run. No other console has the graphics to match the PS3. Looks like Game Newell should stick to doing what he does best... Eating.

Snowb4205587d ago

I can't wait to see what it is at the end that is so brutal and so disturbing that they can't believe made it into the final game!! SOOOO hyped for this game right now!!! I need it now!

And now we have people hyping up the God of War 3 graphics in the article about the new trailer. It looks good, but not nearly as good as some of those guys are making it out to be. Many of the textures are low resolution and while it has huge boss battles people seem to forget how huge some of the boss battles were on the PS2. From a technical perspective it is well above average, but it is not raising any bars.

Alan Wake looks substantially more realistic.

http://www.n4g.com/xbox360/...

Christopher5587d ago

They _really_ tightened this game up. Even small touches of making the QTEs blend in and show if you succeed or not really help out overall. This is kind of why I was so harsh on Dante's Inferno, because yeah, it's not going to be GoW3, but it could have at least tried to get close.

This game is gonna make things a lot harder for all developers, including Sony's. To surpass GoW3 it's gonna take some time if ever. Probably another game from Santa Monica itself.

Be aware: Minor spoilers.

I called 360fanboys, Greeneyed (This kind of stuff just makes them jealous that's nobody isn't doing it on they're system). Notice i didn't say "can't be done" it's just Microsoft rather pay a 3rd party than invest in it's own 1st party.

Microsoft= 3rd party and every man for himself

Sony= 1st party and sharing information throughout their studios.

Might get Gran Turismo 5 later this year also.. maybe some ModNation Racers and some other great exclusives.. Don't know, maybe Demon's Souls (Game of The year, Gamespot) or something..

zoks3105587d ago

Sony is defining the difference between 1st party developers and 3rd party developers.
I doubt any other developer outside of Sony's 1st party will be able to top Sony's quality. The PS3 is epicness from the ground up, in every possible way it was built in the system, a true best of this generation.
How can a game like this be possible in this gen?

Mind officially blowed, I have a headache after watching the vid...... WOW.

Probably more spoilers than I would have liked, but they were very effective in making me want this game more. This isn't just a day one, I'm pre-ordering this thing for the BA poster.

I'd also like to say that after seeing this in motion, it looks much better than I originally thought. I'm still not sure if it surpasses Uncharted 2, but it's pretty dang close. And it's on a far greater scale than U2. Screenshots just don't do it justice.

Looks like a huge amount of time and talent has been invested in this game. I like the fact that it doesnt seem to be just about graphics but its coupled it with some real imagination.

However, don't be a child and try to use this to slate the 360. Just focus on the game.

That being said this adds weight to my prospective purchase of a PS3.
If GT5 is as immense I'll get one.

Honestly what i just witnessed is something only another sony studio can surpass. I cant believe Uncharted 2 has been dethroned so soon, just me saying that is crazy in itself.

After seeing this, 2010 is over. Case closed, end of discussion. I think it is funny how PS3 was the underdog in the console race but now it is putting the competition to shame with it's AAA quality exclusives. I have a feeling this game will give Sony their third exclusive in a row to get Game of the Year.

To be honest, I am worried about the other titles from now on. Is it even possible to match what GOW3 is? I went back to the Alan Wake vid. . . The cutscene environments look kinda close to the real time GOW3. And kinda is being nice. Will KZ3 be able to top this? I sure hope so, but gotdammit will it be hard. I guess since I was saying this same thing about Uncharted 2 a few months ago it may be possible. But is it?

-Alpha5587d ago (Edited 5587d ago )

Just kidding, this blew my mind. I was never too hyped with the last trailer but this game is looking like the second Coming (or third...).

I am telling you, I cannot wait to see the advertisements for this, I'm stunned and truly want to say so much but don't know where to start. The drama, the excitement, the chaos, the beautiful art, the scale, it all ties in so well.

That's it: I have to play God of War 1 and 2 and need to get GoW3 too.

aaronisbla5587d ago

alpha gamer, here's the problem you will have now.....playing Gow1 and 2 after seeing this trailer will make the next 18 days go by slooooooooooow. But if you havent done it yet, do so, any decent gamer can beat those before it comes out, depending on how much time you may have

-Alpha5587d ago

Consider me stupid, but I am not even sure if I'll get GoW3 on launch. I have a very strict rule when buying new games: make sure they can last. Regardless of quality I can't sink $70 CND to a game that is around 15 hours long. (How long is #3 btw?)

I think depending on how Final Fantasy 13 ends up I may make an exception for God of War. It is, to this day, the one Sony franchise I have never EVER played, next to Metal Gear Solid.

Time for me to download GoW Demo...

50 Best PS3 Games of All Time

The PlayStation 3 is Sony’s most interesting home console ever, but what’s most interesting of all is trying to nail down the very best games on a console with hundreds of incredible games. Let’s give it a shot.

darthv72103d ago

Personally, I'd rank Pacific Rift in my top 10. It's the best of the series.

badz149103d ago

We desperately need Motorstorm back. Evolution is no more though and this makes me sad

Cacabunga103d ago

Sly Thieves in Time
Stay the Party
Portal 2
Dj Hero
Demon’s Souls
God of war Ascension

rudero102d ago

2 of those games got railed through the “gaming media” during release.
Sly and god of war.
Both of which were fantastic games.

Cacabunga102d ago

Ascension is VERY underrated. Remake please!

Venoxn4g103d ago

Decent list.. I would put the Castle Crashers as well..

1Victor102d ago

Yes it’s a decent list of popular games with a heavy hand on FPS and no Warhawk or Starhawk 2 of the best games (not sale wise) on ps3.
I would buy a Starhawk again even if it didn’t have a graphics upgrade hell I would even take a new one with micro transactions 😱🤯

Profchaos103d ago

I've noticed a recent nostalgia for the PS3 and I don't get it for me it's been my least favourite generation to date and I've been gaming since the NES I just feel like the ambition of the developers outweighed the capabilities of the consoles so I remember lots of games running in the lower end of 20fps range and I remember for the first time ever actually disliking the duelshock 3 and it's curved triggers

Sure there were some standouts and great games but that's the only gen I switched entirely to PC gaming

darthv72103d ago

Maybe the recent nostalgia is because pretty much all of its games are trapped on that console. People want to play them on more modern hardware. hell... if XB can do it then so can Sony. there are competent emulators out there that can run on PS4/5 hardware but Sony just wont let them become official... why is that?

If we are talking least favorite generations (personally) then this one is certainly mine. i had more fun playing 8th, 7th and 6th gen stuff than 9th. And it isnt like i dont have access to do so... the heavy hitters just havent shown up anywhere close to those previous gens. The few here and there just doesnt cut it compared to the likes of constant good games that showed up in 6th, 7th and 8th gen. hell.... I'll even throw in 5th gen has been better than this one.

Profchaos103d ago

I tend to agree there's lots of amazing games locked to the PS3 like GTA IV or mgs 4 but then again my issue was never with the content the PS3 had but rather it's performance many other people have said the PS3 felt like it couldn't walk and chew bubblegum at the same time using PSN and downloading a game could take a few minutes to just start a download.

I typically don't worry all that much about performance I've never had a problem with games that run at 30 but games like crysis 2, Skyrim are good examples where the performance was so unstable you would never even touch the top of the frame cap and the hitching was worse than say Goldeneye on the n64

I think emulation is more than possible on the ps5 though it's just that Sony has no incentive to rush it's development it will likely be a ps6 feature if it ever happens at all.

But yeah the 9th gen has been so bad from a content perspective thats a given I see constant articles where people are frequently expressing their disappointment around the industry as a whole right now to much live service competition that sinks longstanding studios and consumes Devs time less ambition and games cost so much to make they have to play it safe.

The 5th gen was easily better than the 9th we had some all time greats crash, Spyro, Tony hawk, mgs, Mario,64, Goldeneye, Mario kart 64 the list goes on. The 5th gave us a new dimension and I remember being blown away by how much more open gaming had become the 4th gen with the mega drive and SNES was great and very easy to still revisit some of the greatest games of all time came out like earthbound, secret of mana, sonic , Mario world etc but saving our games was still not a standard function or a given so gaming was still evolving but it was very impressive to see some of the tricks Devs used like dithering to give us new experiences those earlier gens limitations bred innovation.

Michiel1989102d ago

if XB can do it so can sony? I didn't know xbox had a cell processor in their older consoles, that's the reason why ps3 was so cool, but also the reason why games are hostage there and no, xbox did nothing similar even though their backward compatbility is good, they always had a similar architecture to their consoles.

darthv72102d ago

Sorry Michael... I guess you missed the obvious part where i said there are already emulators out that do this. and that is what XB is doing... emulators for OG and 360 games. Its why the full slate is not BC on XBO/Series.

coolbeans102d ago (Edited 102d ago )

The list is missing Folklore.

14 Years Later, God of War 3 Still Has The Best Boss Fights

Kratos' journey in God of War 3 was an angry rampage against the Greek Gods, resulting in some of the best boss battles in gaming.

They went from amazing, huge scale bosses to shirtless Norse people with tattoos...

The only good boss in the new god of war was the mountain dragon.

I like the new GOW games, but I do feel that the brutality of the games were toned down way too much in favor for (what some people may call) heartwarming stories. I think both things could co-exist, but if I had to choose, I'd rather have the brutality back.

Agreed. I... barely even remember any of the bosses in Ragnarok even lol. Story bosses only, optionals excluded. Kinda wish Kratos was still an all brutal angry man that way we do go after pretty much all the gods in each mythology. New gow, you feel bad about them...

I have to agree. Some of the best boss fights. Felt so good to get a new weapon when you beat em. The Hades fight and Hercules fight were dope. The Poseidon fight was fire especially when you went first person. Damn I want to play it over. Sadly all I have is 3 and the new ones. That's why I want a remaster of the first two.

And we will never.. EVER, get an insane awesome game like this ever again (at least not directly from SSM and Sony)

Hey do you remember those Atreus sections and that Angrboda section where you collect fruit or whatever the f was happening? No. You remember when Kratos ripped off Helios’s head just to use as a flashlight. You remember when he chopped of Hermes’s legs to just so use his boots and you remember the Aphrodite section, when he was gutting Centaurus’s with guts spilling out and when he tied a half naked girl to the gate mechanism pulley thing or whatever it’s called just so she can hold the heavy gate by being mangled into a bloody mess. Good times. 😂

Mark my words, maybe not God of War, maybe not SSM, but a few years from now, the story will be one of vengeance, the protagonist will be there, the gameplay will meet the expectations, and the right team will be put together, it will feel so refreshing again, and we will rejoice. It’s inevitable.

I remember it slightly more fondly because with only 2 characters it was nice to have less yapping and mimir not yelling forced tutorials at me

mkis007256d ago

I like mimir though. He gives more lore for this universe, because God of war has its own lore somewhat separate from actual Norse myth.

@mkis007
I'm ok with mimir in cutscenes
I just mean constant yapping and yelling in battle mostly

mkis007256d ago

I do love the hades fight...so fricken brutal how you bash him into the ceiling with his own weapons over and over.

I’ve lived with depression for years, and I can confirm it’s so much more than just feeling sad. It’s the numbness, the exhaustion, the constant mental battle just to get through the day. What helped me, oddly enough, was focusing on small tasks — like improving my living space. I know it sounds random, but researching things like home comfort gave me a sense of control. I even stumbled across this site about ductless mini-split systems: https://mytunbridgewells.co... . It gave me a distraction and a goal — making my space feel warmer, both physically and emotionally. Sometimes healing starts with the smallest, most unexpected steps.
