Sorry, don't get me wrong, but I find the entire concept of the "Sony Protection Group" to hurt their actual cause. If the PS3 is going to start kickin' a$$, they shouldn't be defending it.

This article should be titled "Things Will Probably Start Looking Great For Sony And PS3," because while they offer a good argument, it's nothing that anyone doesn't already know.

Personally, I think that Sony IS in great shape, and the PS3 CAN win, but if we have sites (and articles) like this then it just seems to everyone else like all of the Sony fanboys simultaneously muttering to themselves "It'll be OK, It'll be OK, Everything will be OK..."

I think the sites name is the ONLY thing influencing your opinion.

I dont mean to be harsh but i will spell it out for the sony fanboys and fanboys only. THE PS3 IS DEAD. IT IS DEAD. ITS OVER.
Once the 360 drops in price it will be all over for the playstation. The playstation wont really drop in price, sony just shifted the models, the "elite" ps3 is still $600. the fact of the matter is that the vast majority of gamers dont really get a console because it can play movies they choose it because of how good and many games there are for it. Which would a smart person choose:

360 elite: HDMI, 1080p, 120gb hdd, tons of games = $429 or less (once they drop the price)

or

ps3 "elite": HDMI, 1080p, 80gb hdd, a few games = $600

not only that but the most affordable model of the 360 will probably be $250 while the most affordable for the ps3 will be $500.

edit:
thats just great N4G you just gave me back my bubble yesterday and you already removed it again? And all because I posted my opinion? Honestly you guys must have worked something out with sony, did they give you alot of money? just look at all the frivolous playstation stories you keep approving. This site has sold-out.

proof that this site is biased, they wouldnt let this story be approved

ok, I'm a huge Playstation fan but this is ridiculous! I've said it before, 1 guys rant on a fan site does not constitute news. No Playstation or 360 sites should be allowed. Once we eliminate these articles from N4G, this site will get better. And we will get better news, no crap speculation, or gamer guessing.

End of Story!
I would appreciate some bubbles.
Thanks.

I cant believe people are still dumb enough to yell PS3 IS DEAD! PS3 IS DEAD!.

In no way is it dead, its just getting started. PS3 have a huge loyal fanbase and is not going anywhere. PS3 will be with us for a very long time, as will the 360 and Wii, so get used to it!

ok for the love of god 10 different post about this Amazon bit

TheExecutive6135d ago

sheesh I happen to agree with them... huh. Sony is setting itself up for success, they just need games, and bad! This holiday season will be a great winter indeed for gamers.

akaFullMetal6135d ago

like i have said before, the ps3 was only being stopped by the price and just no games out for it as of yet, besides ngs, anyways, its great that the ps3 is finally picking up steam, lets see what happens after e3 and this fall

gapzi11a6135d ago (Edited 6135d ago )

Come on guys. The system, the games, third party controllers... Do we really need this many threads to tell us that the price drop has spurned some sales.

Mugen Souls Retro Review – Sexy Demon Space Adventure

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.

Looking Back At 2008, An Unbelievably Incredible Year Of Video Game Releases

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."

ChasterMies18h ago

Some of these low paid video game “news” writers weren’t born before 2007.

just_looken13h ago

Here here

Those that were around before 2000's i am sure are like me that think we entered a world of non readers or those that follow without question.

I can not wait to see fallout 3 a goty game even though it was about water with non content until you add the dlc/updates then you got the performance/crashing

CrimsonWing691d 5h ago

I don’t think anything can compare to 2023

lucasnooker1d 5h ago

1998 - the best year in gaming! Metal gear solid, crash bandicoot 3, medievil, half life, ocarina of time, thief, tenchu, resident evil 2, Spyro, tomb raider 3, oddworld abes exodus, banjo kazooie.

It was a different breed of a gaming era. You’ll never understand what it was like back then. The aura of gaming, it was different!

KyRo1d 4h ago (Edited 1d 4h ago )

I second this. Gaming was a lot more varied and fun than it is today. I'm 35 so getting on compared to some here but I got to see all the changes from NES up to now but I've never felt so disappointed in any generation than I have this current gen. I was expecting more from this generation rather than prettier versions of games that came before it. Game mechanics have become so refined that alot of games feel the same and has done for a while now.

Maybe it's time to have a break for a while. I love gaming but I don't feel I get much fun in the traditional sense out of it anymore.

CrimsonWing691d 4h ago (Edited 1d 4h ago )

Metal Gear Solid, Resident Evil 2, Abe’s Exodus, and Ocarina of Time are the only things from that list that I liked.

Here’s the 2023 game releases that I personally liked… and big releases that I didn’t care for:

- Dead Space Remake
- Wo Long Dynatsy
- Resident Evil 4 Remake
- Diablo 4
- Fire Emblem Engage
- Hogwarts Legcay
- Street Fighter 6
- Hi-Fi Rush
- Like a Dragon: Ishin
- Octopath Traveler 2
- Final Fantasy Pixel Remasters
- Final Fanatsy XVI (actually ended up not liking this, but it was still a big deal release)
- Baldur’s Gate 3
- Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon
- Lies of P
- Mortal Kombat 1
- Marvel’s Spider-Man 2
- Starfield (Ended up hating this one, but big release)
- Super Mario Bros. Wonder
- Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom (I’m an old-school Zelda fan, but didn’t really enjoy this game)
- Alan Wake 2

I mean, honestly I’ve never seen a year of major IP releases like that, ever.

Profchaos1d 1h ago (Edited 1d 1h ago )

Isn't it just a generational thing realistically.

I've been gaming since way back and I some of my favourite games go as far back as the late 80s for me each generation has a year or two of game changing releases one after another before an inevitable dry spell.

I kind of agree gaming had a different feel games hit different because we didn't have the internet nothing got spoiled and you really had to put in the effort to beat a puzzle which could set entire groups of people looking for a solution. But most importantly games were experimental and not as cookie cutter as today even basics like controls were not universal today r2 is shoot l2 is ads garunteed you can't deviate from that in a shooter back then it could of been square, R1 or R1 and circle nothing was standard.

But as time moves on a new generation picks up their controller they are going to be interested in different things that PS1 demo disc with the t Rex blew our primitive 16 bit brains back on launch but to kids today it's laughable.
The new gen of kids coming into to hobby seem to value different things to us there seems to be a huge focus on online play, streamers, gaming personalities, and social experiences, convience of digital downloads. To me I value none of that but that's ok like my parents not liking the band's I would listen to its just the natural cycle.

Gameseeker_Frampt16h ago

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.

just_looken13h ago

It still amazes me we got over 7 rockstar games ps2/ps3 but 3 for the ps3/ps4/ps5

Dragon age 1-3 and mass effect 1-3 in 7ish years what a generation.

6 Fun Games Where You Actually Play As The Bad Guy

While the mainstream media always sees things turning in favor of the hero, here are 6 games that own being a bad guy.

Profchaos1d 10h ago

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

Tacoboto1d 10h ago

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?

banger881d 9h ago

No mention of Grand Theft Auto? Saints Row (original trilogy), Manhunt? Also The Suffering (depending on the ending you get).

ChasterMies23h ago

Trevor in GTA 6 is a sadist and psychopath who dabbles in cannibalism. Should be top of the list. These game “news” sites should hire people that know games.
