Sony has announced the retail price of two of its Japanese PS3 launch titles, Insomniac's Resistance: Fall of Man and Sony's own Genji: Days of the Blade.
Both titles will retail for 5980 yen in Japan (about 27 GBP or 50 USD) and Sony also confirmed that its upcoming dirt-racer, Motorstorm (releasing December 7 in Japan) will be sold at the same price.
The PlayStation 3 may not have been the strongest generation for Sony, but there were still some diamonds in the rough that deserve a revisit as PS5 remasters.
Even if they could just remaster and put on PSVR2, some would still look great as VR titles and could do a whole lot to bolster the headset w these exclusives! I'd imagine the investment of reworking these titles into VR would be way less than building new games from the ground up, and they could be amazing experiences, and VR often makes flat games feel fresh again. The Resistance and Killzone games are particularly what I want to see!!
The time is perfect for a resistance fall of man game campaign coop multiplayer
Resistance was ok but Warhawk and Starhawk was better and kept me coming back for almost a decade of fun and petty revenge on the loud mouth unskilled players 🤣
Edit I loved capture the flag dropping the pot on the flag carrier was extremely satisfying as well as transforming your plane in bot form and stumping them to death 😱
Digital Foundry : Evolution Studios' Motorstorm is one of the first, finest and most fondly remembered of launch titles for PlayStation 3. It's a release designed to answer the question posed by each new console generation: what makes a game 'next-gen'? With its robust physics engine and massive tracks, Motorstorm serves up a bold affirmative answer to this question, delivering an experience that could never have existed on prior console hardware. At the same time, the path to release was fraught with challenges that almost serve as a microcosm of the PlayStation 3 release situation itself. It was a success, however, with a trilogy of PS3 releases, plus PSP, Vita and even PS2 off-shoots.
After Driveclub and Onrush, the dev team will now contribute to and assist with the development of the upcoming NFS.
Never really got into it myself I remember getting it with ps3 and being a bit underwhelmed I preferred the RC version they did for vita 🙌🏻🤣
While it's been on ice for as long as it was around, the Resistance franchise has no shortage of quality.
My take:
Single player
3, 2, 1
Multiplayer
3, 1, 2
Overall
3, 2, 1
I beat the lengthy single player in 1 multiple times and spent hours in the online too. Plus 1 featured my home town! Special mention to the audio design in 1: playing that with surround headphones blew me away.
Note: I have the platinum for Resistance 2.
I only played the 3 main Resistance titles. My ranking would be;
1. Resistance 3
2. Resistance: Fall of Man
3. Resistance 2
Man I loved 3's campaign. Another gem stuck on the ps3 and who knows if insomniac will go back to the franchise.
keep the price down.
Europe will get screwed again. There is NO WAY! that these games will retail at £27. 50USD = 50GBP. Chuffin rip off. Why the hell do we always get a bum deal? Do they think Europe is loaded or something?
Your little friends, the taxes. Import taxes, VAT, and there you go.
I doubt that in the end a company gets more money from a game sold in europe than from one sold in japan.
people complained about lack of HDMI in the 20gb ps3, so they stuck it back in
people complained about the boomerang controller, so they changed it to the ever popular dualshock styled controller
people complained there was no actual ps3 gameplay footage, so all of E3 2006 consisted of actual gameplay
And the japanese more specifically were noted that they like the console and were interested in it, but were really put off by the high price, so sony acknoledged that and lowered the price of the 20gb ps3 and the games are cheaper for them
why only for the japanese? I would say because they can, and because japan is only getting 100,00 units, so it's a nice gesture for their home country. Cheaper prices for 100,000 units is alot easier for sony to handle then cheaper prices on 400,000 units as they would be losing much more money.
Its a matter of keeping good relations and with the Wii so popular in japan right now, sony have to do something to counter that in order to gain favour with their home country. I think its a great move by sony, and recent headlines suggest that the japanese are now as equally interested in PS3 as they are in Wii
