First glimpse of the PSP 3000

Google Translated: War on the Slim & Light a photo of strawberries only pale red, lit up the fruits on the PSP 3000. Where it with the naked eye could judge, the brightness does not change. The display, Sony has a slight anti-Glare-surface, the reflections weaken somewhat. Laut Reeves werde Mirrors Edge zunächst exklusiv für die PS3 in diesem Jahr erscheinen.

According to Reeves Mirrors Edge will initially exclusively for the PS3 this year. The PC and Xbox 360 versions would follow much later.

PS3 is ON FIRE so I can believe it.

kwicksandz5720d ago

If this was true sony would be shouting it from the rooftops, and we would have heard about it at E3 earlier this year.

marionz5720d ago

even if thats true im sure its no big loss, not interested in this game at all

JoySticksFTW5719d ago

Microsoft keep bytching-slapping PS3 gaining time-exclusives for their system first and "stealing" exclusive 3rd party support away from PS3.

Sure, Sony has some incredible 1st party games coming up, but am I the only one thinking that maybe Sony let some of their market share slip away by being inactive and not fighting for more timed-exclusives and doing whatever it takes to ensure that long-time 3rd party money makers stay exclusive to their system?

Sure, Sony doesn't have the deep pockets of Microsoft, but with the GTA, DMC, and FF series firmly in Sony's grip and only their grip... this console war would be looking alot different right now.

Just look at what a long time PS series and *sarcasm* non-system seller *end sarcasm* like MGS4 did for PS3 sales alone.

But then again, Microsoft just gained Rock Band 2 as a timed-exclusive so Sony maay never learn

RememberThe3575719d ago (Edited 5719d ago )

...I mean, it's entirely possible, but I bought it. I'm probably going to day one this game on the PS3, wait, Valkyria Chronicles is coming out on the same day! Damn it! And I got Fable 2 and Gears... Sh*t... Oh and LBP! Damn it... I hate the holidays...

EDIT: @JoySticksFTW: Thats a great point. I don't think many people bring that up, but it seems to me to be a very important aspect of this console race and Sony's slipping market share. I'm really glad they're using the money they would have used to for 3rd party exclusives and using it to make games like LBP and InFamous, not to mention all those damn PSN games. But, MS has done a really good job bring high quality franchises to it's crown console.

solidt125719d ago

I don't think it is BS because since E3 we have found out alot of cool things PS3 only that Sony didn't even mention so I am not surprised.

whoelse5719d ago

I wouldn't be surprised if it is true. I think Microsoft prefer to shout out about third party games a lot more than Sony.

himdeel5719d ago (Edited 5719d ago )

...Sony has bragged about a timed-exclusive game. They don't even be making much noise about FFX13 being timed exclusive, now Versus is another story.

I doubt it, EA said they are a multi-platform company. They will treat all systems the same.

HighDefinition5720d ago

Is a timed 360 exclusive.

So.....

SmartPS3Owner5720d ago

Oh, I didnt know they publish it, then who publishes guitar hero?

Isaac5720d ago

Nowhere to be seen on PS3 (though it should arrive soon)

badz1495720d ago

on PS3 will also have extra features, if I'm not mistaken

Seraphim5720d ago

I doubt it but at the same time can believe it. This is coming from a German source after all. So this could mean nothing more that it'll be released for the PS3 in Germany/parts of Europe before the 360 and PC counterparts drop. For North America however I think this, if it holds merit, doesn't even affect us one bit anyway...

DaTruth5720d ago

If EA treats all systems the same, they should treat us to some Crysis and Crysis Warhead.

Codeman4205719d ago

if ea treated all systems the same they wouldnt have screwed up orange box for the PS3, i know valve had stuff to do with it but EA is still the publisher and has say in it.

The PS3 is the lead platform for Mirror's Edge, but a timed-exclusive?

That would've made the headlines LONG before now if there's any truth to it.

Does anyone here speak German?

iceatcs5720d ago

Just go to the both links, forums.e-mpire.com post translated as well

Shaka2K65720d ago

Just like all other AAA's multi-p. games.

Zerodin5720d ago

Ah, so that's why all the comparison charts say other wise!

dktxx25720d ago

I really think that we'd know if it was a timed exclusive or not by now. Still there is a possibility, although it's EA, and I don't think they'd do that anyway.

ShwaaMan448d ago

Bioshock still looks fantastic, one of my all time favorites.

Yui_Suzumiya448d ago

Beyond: Two Souls on PS3 can compete with modern day graphics.

SonyStyled448d ago (Edited 448d ago )

Same as Killzone 2 and 3, uncharted 2 and 3, Infamous 2, Heavy Rain, Resistance 3

jasonismoney448d ago

I wish this was entirely true, but you might want to load up Killzone 2 and Resistance 3 again.

SonyStyled448d ago

@jason I watched some gameplay videos of KZ2 and R3 on my full screen. They are on par or succeed graphically to the first person shooters mentioned in the article that also launched on the seventh generation of consoles. Try the same and see what you think

cthulhucultist447d ago

Killzone 3 was super impressive! I could not believe the graphics back then as I was regularly pausing the game to stand in awe looking at the surroundings! Resistance however did not impress me that much. Heavy rain is also another amazing graphically speaking game. It almost felt next gen

Fist4achin448d ago

I always thought the first 3 Gears of War games looked great and still hold up for today.

SonyStyled448d ago

They did for their day. I recently played gears judgement with on the 360 and the draw distance was so blurry. The characters up close look great though

JEECE448d ago

Far Cry 2 was awesome. In addition to having demonstrably better physics and AI than later games in the series, it had a lot of design decisions that, criticized at the time, have since been praised in games like BOTW and Dark Souls.

iNcRiMiNaTi448d ago

It might not be super amazing by today's standard but I thought Mgs3 looked really good

JEECE448d ago

In terms of art style it still holds up.

Mirror's Edge achievement designer: "Achievements have been bad for gaming"

Ubisoft Massive lead gameplay designer Fredrik Thylander, previously of DICE where he worked on Battlefield and Mirror's Edge, has spoken out about achievements and trophies, arguing that they "have been bad for gaming."

Machina465d ago (Edited 465d ago )

The achievements in Mirror's Edge opened my eyes to a whole other way of approaching the game. Since some of the toughest and most rewarding ones are basically whole levels turned into time trials with very strict time requirements, they force you to become much better at the game - in a way that difficulty levels just don't - and made me appreciate the mechanics that much more (especially the momentum-based running and platforming).

They actually made the game better for those like me who really enjoyed the game but wanted more of it, basically adding a new level of difficulty that took a long time to master/overcome. It added some extra longevity to a very short game.

He says "it eats resources that could have made the game better". I'm curious what he thinks the time he spent designing the achievements for the game would've been better spent on, because I expect bang for buck-wise achievements are a pretty efficient way of adding value to a game for the people who end up loving it.

shinoff2183465d ago (Edited 465d ago )

I kinda see his point but I also see your point.

I've been trying to remember what games over the years have had their own trophies inside the game before trophies and such were a thing and all I can think of is the star ocean series

Christopher465d ago

I think his point, though not elucidated upon because of Twitter limitations, is not that they can be bad but that they are used improperly to extend gameplay rather than reward actions.

Nebaku464d ago

Harvest Moon: Magical Melody on the GCN did.

In fact it actually built the game around it.

RpgSama464d ago (Edited 464d ago )

I am very OCD about playing games that I can platinum, in that sense I probably avoided playing games that I knew I would be unable to 100% complete.

I do think there are other people like me and also feel there should be an option for you to individually deactivate getting trophies on specific games, just so you play them and they do not go to your account.

-Foxtrot465d ago (Edited 465d ago )

I don't know. I used to think Achievements / Trophies were ruining games at first but then I saw the positive, if you totally love a game then they would offer you replay value by going after the last achievements to 100% the game. It made you explore every last bit of the game to achieve this and sometimes pushed you into areas or scenarios you probably might have missed.

It was a blast to get them on Oblivion / Skyrim, Fallout, Witcher, God of War, Elden Ring etc

Don't get me wrong, I do think there's achievements which are annoying, the ones where you need to find all collectibles which end up being missable AND are like trying to find a needle in a haystack are a kick to the balls, you know the majority of us are just going to use a guide to find them so what's the point.

Kind of a shame Nintendo haven't gotten a full system in place, they are so behind.

jambola464d ago

Nintendo seem to either be ahead of their time by years
or behind by 10 years
no in between

Rimeskeem464d ago

I enjoy having something to go for and feeling accomplished when doing something hard. I just hate it when achievements are based on things you can't really control. Like when something is for MP and the MP is just dead.

MadLad464d ago (Edited 464d ago )

I used to be a hardcore achievement hunter back in the day, but I couldn't care less nowadays. I just want to play games the way I actually want to play them, and don't care to waste my time just to get a little pop-up.

AzubuFrost464d ago

I envy you sir. I just gotta have every single achievement whenever I play a game. On my Steam profile I have an 83% completion rate out of 35 games, and my OCD is telling me to keep upping that percentage higher.

MadLad464d ago

Yeah. Back then, though I'm not sure what my actual completion rate was, I was mainly an Xbox player. I had close to 80k gamer score during the 360 days.

It just doesn't excite me anymore. I have less than 20% completion on my Steam account, though I have a pretty asinine amount of games there at the same time.
But I don't really bother with any of this anymore. If there's an interesting achievement I might aim for it just because I find it fun, but usually I just get that pop-up, say "cool" and continue with the game.

Outlawzz464d ago

Never been a fan of achievements. I just want to play the game however it may present itself to me, there's an overflow of achievements to seek in real life lol

Great for those that enjoy them though, much respect to the platinum hunters, it ain't easy lol
