The long-term success of PS3 rests largely on take-up of Blu-ray as the next generation DVD platform. PlayStation 3 comes with a Blu-ray drive, which offers comparative value against specific players currently on the market. Blu-ray is up against HD-DVD for dominance of this emerging market.
In an earnings conference call yesterday Rob Wiesenthal, chief financial officer of Sony's U.S. operations said "We are feeling really good about Blu-ray right now, but it is early days."
Sony is in the middle of an FPS crisis, but bringing back two much-loved PlayStation shooters could easily be the solution.
We have alot of rpg's but only cod for a AAA first person shooter unless you toss in xdefient but that is still fixing 2yr old beta issues.
We need more AAA fps games then rpg's
I honestly don't think we'll be seeing these anytime soon, if ever. Insomniac is officially on Marvel duty since it seems that all they're working on based off the leaks, and Horizon is more of what the casuals want these days. And I now I'll get a bunch of disagrees, but keep in mind that Resistance last got a game on the PS3 (2011) and Killzone was a launch title for the PS4 (2013). 10 years is a long time to make a game, if had any interest they would've done it by now, add InFamous to that list.
Your right except the dates killzone mercenary was on ps vita 2013 same with resistance burning skies back in 2012
Resistance 3 turned me off to the series but I’d love a reboot. KillZone I think can stay dead. Give me a new Resistance like 1or 2 and I’ll be happy.
Except Resistance 1 and 3 were far more similar, 2 was the outlier. 3 was a great return to form after 2 changed so many things from the first game.
I honestly never cared or liked killzone. Huge resistance fan though. I remember so many nights playing melee only on USS Lexington, and I like the alt history vibe.

The Metal Gear series, led by Kojima, pioneered the stealth genre, creating a masterclass in storytelling and gameplay.
No. But MGS5: Ground Zeroes might actually be one of the greatest Game Demo ever, if not the best.
I know a lot of people didn't, but I actually liked that story twist at the end. The game was fun and all, but I wouldn't call it a timeless classic.
A demo is free that was a $40 cry for help as later we would know konami did not want to fun hideo and his team anymore that is why we got the unfinished phantom pain.
Meh
Great stealth gameplay but the game was just average.
Bland open world that felt lifeless, the story felt shoehorned in, unfinished story etc. The whole thing was just average to me compared to the other main titled games.
I would have rather preferred it if they kept Ground Zeroes for the main game as the opening and the rest of the game turns into a Metal Gear 1 & 2 remake to bring things full circle.
If you dig around they had old behind trhe scenes of phantom pain vids and books wrote around the time.
Before funding was puled the main idea was to keep peace walker coop it was in the games early builds and that end game were your building your base that was suppose to be metal gear one.
You as the fake big boss was going to make your own metal gear one map aka your base (outer heaven) then me as sold snake use the mode that is in the game invade/defeat the base even fight your current version of metal gear that was in the game but not finished.
So your idea was on the table bit got canned.
Like hell it is. That was the first time I became aware of being sold an unfinished game and was blown away about blind fanboys saying it was some perfect game.
Yea, the first few chapters were great until they do that thing halfway and make you replay all the missions again. Then little things like capturing animals but only seeing a JPEG unlike 3 where everything was modeled out. Areas were massive, desolate, and boring to look at.
Game was a massive let down for me and the potential was so high for it. Honestly, this was one of the most disappointing games I ever played. What’s worse is it starts off brilliant. You literally play through until you get to the point where you could tell they just stopped developing and then quickly used glue and construction paper to “finish” it and then sold it. Quite frankly, that’s insulting to consumers and fans.
People have selective memory. This game had huge drama attached to it, what Konami did to Kojima and this game was horrible. Now they praise Konami cause they revived Silent Hill, even though SH looks half arsed too.
I dunno if they’re getting much praise after the Silent Hill 2 debacle. Makes me scared sh*tless for the MGS 3 Remake…
Yes and no. In many ways in was a great game; there's a very strong argument that it has the best gameplay of any MGS game, and that it is one of the more interesting open world "playgrounds" we have gotten, in terms of how the world operates. But as an MGS narrative, it is pretty far down the list, for many reasons.
for sony and every ps3 owner. Sony is definately going to win this format war!! I think they learned alot from betamax. It's very early to give a winner but for sony doing this well, this early, its just a matter of time.........
Right know bluray is completely outselling HDDVD: http://www.eproductwars.com...

I do like them HD-DVD's. I have a few and you really can see the difference from regular to HD. Just like cable. I love that HD Box for it and when sports games are on HD is key. Unfortunatly I have been sidetracked on the ps3 right now needed a few more computers for my network but it's really okay seeing that the games will be more ready come March and that'll be awesome. Heck even though I beat Ninja Gaiden twice already I'd get a ps3 just for Sigma! Then I can start up my Blueray collection as well. Love movies ^^
I have to admit, I love watching movies and TV and sports in HD. It looks so much nicer, and cleaner. However, the VCR just recently got passed up by DVD players. JUST RECENTLY. The difference between VHS tapes and DVDs is huge: smaller, cooler looking, chapter skipping, no rewinding, etc. I just don't see HD movies as being a big enough improvement for a large enough of people to go out and buy players to decide a winner any time soon. In fact, Bluray and HD-DVD may not even be in the running for "the winner" in a few years. With more and more formats popping up, we might be seeing Total-HD being the new format, or Rainbow tech, or the bug protein one... or the holographic discs. Who knows? I know I'm waiting it out, unless someone gets me one (which I have a sneaking suspicion my wife plans on getting me the HD-DVD add on for the 360 for V-day).
I came in to remark on what Sphinx had said. Movies have been put out on DVD's since the mid 90's and only just in the past year or two have (standalone) DVD players been outselling VCRs. Likewise, that was a significant shift in playback, data storage, visuals, audio, and all manner of things that occured by going from tape to disk. This... It doesn't look like HD-DVD and Blu-Ray are offering much aside from a higher price for prettier graphics. The shift is from disk to disk, so the gain is minimal. People are happy and content with their DVDs, so very few people are going to see a good reason to shift to either new format.
