What's Left for the PS3 and Xbox 360?

Some gamers may not be making the leap to the next gen, so what's left for the PS3 and 360? There are quite a few high profile games coming our way in the next 6 months, many of which won’t be making the leap to the PS4 or Xbox One, so there's still more fun to be had! Let's take a look.

A lot for one, not as much for the other.

Nitrowolf23846d ago (Edited 3846d ago )

For Me: The Last of Us DLC, Dark Souls 2 (if no nextgen version is announced), Gran Turismo 6, Lords of Shadows 2, The Wolf Among Us, South Park and more.

Its still the reason why I haven't sold my PS3 and games yet for some extra cash for PS4 games. There's just way to much still going on for this console.

Blackdeath_6633846d ago

Gran turismo 6 i'm getting that for sure. man its really amazing exclusives are still being pumped out at this stage

rainslacker3845d ago (Edited 3845d ago )

For me it's GT6, FFX-X2 HD, Tales of Xillia 2, The Which and the Hundred Knights, Tales of Symphonia Chronicles, and tomorrow I'm picking up my copy of Duck Tales remastered(The only non exclusive in my list). :D

I do have my South Park Grand Wizard Edition pre-ordered. I really hope they don't delay it again.

Magicite3846d ago

For PS3 - exclusives and multiplats
For X360 - mostly multiplats

Utalkin2me3846d ago

Been that way for 3 years now for 360.

Xer0_SiN3846d ago

this is a legit question. is ps4 bc compatiable? the answer is dependant if i move the ps3 into my kids room or not.

Godmars2903846d ago

No. If any BC is coming its likely going to be via Gaikai.

Though you might want to wait to see if Sony brings over the recently announced PSV TV which is sort of a Roku box which lets you play PSV games, stream and remote plays your PS4, and will also likely have access to Gaikai making it a $100 Trojan Horse.

Literally nothing for 360.
PS3 still chugging along nicely tho.

> The feel of continued support

from the beach3846d ago

Not too many PS3 exclusives in that article - well, none actually.

rainslacker3845d ago (Edited 3845d ago )

Hmmmm...exclusives. Since the article didn't mention any.

Tales of Xillia 2
Ratchet & Clank: Into the Nexus
GT6
Tales of Symphonia Chronicles
The Witch and the Hundred Knights
AquaPazza
Ragnarok Odyssey Ace
Kingdom Hearts 2.5 HD

Glad I could help provide that info for you.

I'm sorry if I forgot any, those are the exclusives I'm personally interested in, and don't care to look up any more.

Hicken3845d ago

Thanks for that list, rainslacker. Like from the beach, I was about to believe that, because there weren't any in the article, the PS3 didn't have any more exclusives coming up.

Guess we forgot about good old Google... or GameStop, or Amazon....

from the beach3845d ago (Edited 3845d ago )

The article didn't mention these because it was presumably trying to highlight the best titles coming to current gen, rather than scraping the barrel (GT6 aside, obviously).

Among your list are a 2012 game getting a 2014 localisation, a port of a questionable 2011 fighter, a Vita game and an HD remake. Ratchet & Clank: Into the Nexus comes out today so you can stroke that off too.

'Continued support', as noted in the comment I replied to, implies a strong first party slate - which of Sony's big studios do you think will be making major PS3 games for 2014?

Hicken3845d ago

Oh, man. Look at that spin. From "no exclusives" to "those don't count."

Just like the Xbox fanboys changed their tune over the course of the generation, but you did it in the span of one day. That's pretty impressive.

Presumably, the follow up to one of the best JRPGs to be "localized" this year- and one of the best of the generation, easily- should be included as among the best games still to come this gen. Presumably, that HD remake is of one of the greatest games of last gen which, judging by the reception of similar remakes this gen, will do quite well.

Presumably, I could go through and do this for every title on rainslacker's list, then close by saying that's STILL just that ones on that list, and that there are others.

Presumbly, you'd come up with some other way to move the goalposts.

What ARE Sony's big studios doing? What are the second teams for those studios doing? What are most of their teams working on?

from the beach3845d ago

Actually, I never said 'no exclusives' or 'those don't count'.

I said 'none in that article' then noted important details which hugely discredit rainslacker's list, such as the fact that one of his games is ALREADY OUT. The article appears to be suggesting those games don't count though, by way of excluding them.

But yeah, spin. Only thing that's rotating is spit-roasted cHicken.

Hicken3845d ago

Oh, please. Your comment was pretty much solely for the purpose of implying that there were no exclusives left to release on PS3.

Then, when somebody brought up a list of said exclusives, you did what Xbox fanboys always do: come up with reasons to to say those games don't count.

There was no stipulation in the article, your comment, or the comment you're responding to that said they had to be "the best titles coming to the current gen." There was no such stipulation in rainslacker's comment, either. Simply a list of exclusives that weren't listed in the article- since NONE were mentioned, for some reason- that were of personal interest to the commenter.

At best, you discredit ONE game out of eight, and that ONE game just released, meaning it's not gonna be out everywhere(the UK, for example). Likewise with Xillia 2. If YOU, personally, don't like the games, that's fine. But to say they don't count- and that IS what you're saying, if you're trying to discredit the titles- is pretty stupid.

from the beach3845d ago (Edited 3845d ago )

Again, you're accusing me of switching positions from a position I never actually took. I said there are no PS3 exclusives in that article, never did I say there aren't any at all.

I presumed the article is about the best games, notable games, whatever.. but that's obviously what it is. And it's no surprise the games rainslacker lists aren't on there. You actually implied in a previous comment that you weren't aware of them, such is their significance!

All of this is particularly ironic given that I was responding to a comment containing the brazen falsehood "literally nothing for 360".

rainslacker3845d ago

I wasn't trying to attack you or call you out, was just listing the exclusives that Sony has coming out for the PS3 in the future. When I wrote this I didn't realize that R&C was coming out today, had it listed wrong in my preorder list. Found out earlier when I went to pick up DuckTales remastered and the GA told me that it was available too.:)

I should mention, this is just from my own personal pre-order list I use to keep up with things I've pre-ordered. As you may be able to tell I'm partial to JRPG's.:) I have no idea what other exclusives may be coming out off the top of my head.

Otherwise, I simply set out to inform anyone who was curious what exclusives may be coming in the future.

As for the article, I would say they were trying to be inclusive of both systems. I wouldn't say my list is scraping the bottom of the barrel. For an JRPG fan like me, the early part of next year is pretty much how I wish it was all the time.:)

from the beach3844d ago (Edited 3844d ago )

That's cool man, I wouldn't even have responded how I did if it wasn't for Chicken trying to have a pop at me. You kind of got caught in the middle, lol.

Enjoy your games.

The 360 will end up being the platform on which Titanfall is most played and there are more than enough Gran Turismo fans.

Microsoft to Add Copilot AI to Video Games

Microsoft recently revealed its plans to incorporate Copilot directly into video games, with Minecraft being the first showcased example.

F*** AI

Two trillion dollar company that just can't wait to put as many people possible out of work as fast as possible.

It feels like every single thing they do is making gaming worse and destroying the industry.

....you know it takes people to program the AI.... right? It isnt like it is sentient. We haven't reach skynet level of situation or anywhere close to the matrix just yet.

That's next Thursday.

Einhander19721d 18h ago (Edited 1d 18h ago )

It takes a people to program the AI then that AI is used for who knows how many games eliminating countless jobs which only grows as AI is used for more and more game creation functions.

What you're saying is so ridiculously short sighted and truly larking any kind of understanding and foresight.

CaptainFaisal2d ago

Why all the hate? Im actually excited about this! Always wanted this kind of immersion, and an AI companion with me all the time helping me out knowing the status of my skills/inventory/progress and giving me tips on the best approach or how to craft something specific is game changing for the industry.

Hate all you want about AI, but this is just the start and I can see the potential already. You wont be complaining in the next 5-10 years about this, but rather complain if a game hasn’t implemented it.

MrDead2d ago

Yes we can't wait for the work of others to be used without the need to pay them so that MS can profit even more from the people they fire.

I_am_Batman2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

There is no chance I'd ever use something like this, especially if it's not part of the core game design, but a layer on top of it. It's way too much handholding. Many games already feel like busy work, because they don't let the player figure things out on their own. Having a real-time interactive guide defeats the purpose of playing the game in the first place in my opinion.

If this were to become the standard like you predict, we'll see more and more video games get away with bad design, because people will just be used to ask for help from the AI companion anyway.

Number1TailzFan2d ago

Well Nintendo don't need this with some of their games these days, with invincible characters, items, easy bosses etc.. they do the hand holding built in

helicoptergirl2d ago

Takes "hand holding" in games to a whole new level.

Activision team is opening a new game studio in Poland 'Elsewhere Entertainment' to build new AAA IP

Microsoft's Activision subsidiary announced today that it is opening a new game development studio to take advantage of the huge talent pool growing in Poland. It'll be the second Activision studio based in the region, joining Infinity Ward Krakow, although this studio is, in fact, not working on Call of Duty.

Microsoft's quest for short-term $$$ is doing long-term damage to Windows, Surface, Xbox, and beyond

Microsoft is pushing for no "red line" for what games could come to PlayStation, and it all revolves around Satya Nadella and CFO Amy Hood's plans to increase every department's margins.

Brazz8d ago

"The plan to move Xbox games to other platforms is codenamed "Latitude" internally, and I know there's debate and unease at Microsoft about whether or not this is a good idea. More upcoming Microsoft-owned games slated for PlayStation are already being developed. At least for now, they're potentially obvious games you'd most likely expect. And yes, while it's true Microsoft is a prolific publisher on PlayStation already, it has typically revolved around specific franchises like Minecraft. From what I've heard, Microsoft is pushing for no "red line" for what games could come to PlayStation, and it all revolves around Satya Nadella and CFO Amy Hood's mandate to increase every department's margins. "

Yeah, they are going to kill Xbox hardware.

Xeofate8d ago

"Yeah, they are going to kill Xbox hardware."

It's for the best.

Quit stringing along xbox fans and screwing over PlayStation owners.

crazyCoconuts8d ago

Take good care of those Xboxes if you have 'em ...

outsider16248d ago

An Xbox game on a Playstation. Never in my years of gaming did i ever thought this was gonna happen.

jznrpg7d ago

It is dying anyway so doesn’t make much of a difference

VersusDMC7d ago

No way can they get rid of the hardware as probably 90% of game pass subscribers are hardware users.

Highly doubtful those users will move to PC or Cloud to subscribe there and the competition (Sony and Nin) will never have gamepass on their system.

If they want to keep the current subscribers, they need to keep releasing new hardware.

PSPSA7d ago

I'm not convinced, why then announce that they're actually working on the next-generation Xbox with “the largest technical leap”, and also looking into handhelds now?

Rols7d ago

Not like MS don’t drop things a hot potato if it is not performing. Look at MS history to see products or platforms discontinued. Xbox is not a charity for MS, it needs to make money and the ABK was the last roll of the dice for Xbox.

purple1017d ago

Xbox hardware team members have been incorporated into surface team

This perhaps shows they are not expecting big things from Xbox as a separate entity

Abear217d ago

Seems like they are planning to win next gen. All the acquisitions were this generation and nobody except Xbox fans expect games from the acquisitions any time soon.

I’m sure Microsoft can afford to lose money on the short term, pretty sure they do risk assessment when acquiring many companies and spending billions, they’ll be fine lol.

gold_drake8d ago

i think it will kill off the xbox brand. windows will be fine.

but there is and would be a chance that xbox might be killed off in the future. if they fail to make the money they put in. imo.

S2Killinit8d ago

They wont kill it, but they will go fully PC while keeping xbox as a brand, and go multiplatform for the most part. They will also work tirelessly to diminish console gaming’s importance.

PRIMORDUS8d ago

It would be best if Xbox goes the way of Sega, just make and publish games. I know I myself will not support them at all with buying games from them, you all can. 🙃

ChasterMies7d ago

The Xbox brand will live for the games. I don’t expect Microsoft to entirely drop out of gaming hardware. They make Surface tablets and laptops. They’ll make Xbox branded hardware for those that want it.

"Microsoft is pushing for no "red line" for what games could come to PlayStation"

Forza and Starfield next?

Skuletor8d ago

Starfield would be no surprise and there's the rumor that it will come to Playstation after the Shattered Space DLC, Forza (along with Halo and Gears of War) I find less likely but I wouldn't be surprised if they eventually end up on PlayStation too, especially if Xbox give up on hardware and go the Sega route.

shinoff21838d ago

Not to worried about forza. I'd rather see others like what inxile and obsidian are working on. Starfield sounds like it needs more time in the oven so let it cook first imo. If starfield and it's a small if does release on ps it'll be in the fall around the time for dlc or right at the dlc and come packaged with it.

-Foxtrot8d ago

In the words of Phil Spencer when he was talking about Nintendo last year

“It's just taking a long time for Microsoft to see that their future exists off of their own hardware"

S2Killinit8d ago

Yup. MS are a cancer to console gaming.

Aloymetal8d ago

100%!!
I wonder what happened to that dude that was always here posting those court articles with cartoons about MS spending all those billions in studios. He suddenly disappeared, I guess he doesn't like bad news when the green brand is in trouble. No new articles from him as of late...

PRIMORDUS8d ago

Yup, and it's only going to keep spreading.
