Earlier this week, it was confirmed that Sony dropped the price of the PlayStation 3 to $299 and would introduce a new, slimmed down PS3 early next month. What would the effect of this be on PS3 sales?

Like what? More GTA 4 DLC? More flops like Halo Wars and Ninja Blade? An overpriced expansion to Halo 3?

No thanks, I'll take Killzone 2, InFamous, Uncharted 2, Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2, Ratchet and Clank Future: A Crack in Time, and Gran Turismo 5 over all of those.

How is Halo Wars a flop when it scored exactly the same as Infamous, and has sold more? lol

GTA Expansion has sold a million and was AAA.

"Uncharted 2, Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2, Ratchet and Clank Future: A Crack in Time, and Gran Turismo 5 over all of those."

None of these are even released. And not all highly anticipated either.

Its the same as naming Alan Wake, Left 4 Dead 2, Forza 3, Mass Effect 2, Halo ODST, Splinter Cell Conviction, Fable III, Crackdown 2 etc.

Um yea, you fail.

ShabzS5361d ago

urgh ... take it to the open zone man ... come on

@ichoas- Yeah, I don't understand how either Halo Wars OR INFAMOUS are flops as far as sales. Halo Wars did sell more than INFAMOUS, but I don't thk many can argue its a better product than INFAMOUS.

plum305361d ago (Edited 5361d ago )

@night-I thk he was talking about L4D2, Halo: ODST, Shadow Complex, and Forza 3. Personally, the one id want to come on the PS3 is L4D2, but it doubt that'll happen.

@Warranty- Yeah, but id rather not spend 500 bucks plus on a gaming laptop. I might be better off just buying Dead Nation from the PSN store whenever it comes out, unless the Arcade gets a hardrive. Then ill just get a 360.

iChaos Amongus5361d ago

So? Also on Xbox 360. You aren't regulator.

nightelfmohawk5360d ago

Exactly, Warranty. Anyone with a gaming PC has no need for a 360. And I'm not interested in L4D 2. Valve is one of the most overrated developers, IMO, but that's another story. As for Forza 3, I'll happily take Gran Turismo 5 instead. Shadow Complex is THE only game in all of 2009 that interests me for the 360.

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."

I don’t think anything can compare to 2023

lucasnooker1h 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!

KyRo1h ago(Edited 1h 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.

CrimsonWing691h ago(Edited 1h 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.

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.

Profchaos7h 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

Tacoboto6h 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?

banger886h ago

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

I never got around to mass effect - I’m skeptical that it would hold up if I were to try it now

Furesis23h ago

I would say it does. The combat is a bit shit for todays standards but everything else is great.

anast21h ago

It's worth a play through today.
