"Sucker Punch’s electrifying sequel tops the North American sales charts beating out such awesome games as Just Dance 2 and Zumba Fitness"

Is that sarcasm? I hope it is.

Thatguy-3104733d ago

I tip my hat to Sony and sucker punch..All the 8.0's review scores get the finger..This installment is by far better than Infamous..how can it be that it's getting worst scores? Ohh well all I know is that I'm enjoying the hell out of it...

Tank_Commander_E64733d ago

Truly an awesome game well worth the money. Can't wait for Infam 3!

jwk944733d ago

Those are some high-selling games right now what with all of the soccer moms and such buying these titles, so that's a big feat for sony and sucker punch.

Yes. It's a Japanese ritual. They wake up each morning and create a new Yakuza game and then head off to work.

anasurimbor4733d ago

Yakuza 6 doesn't exist. Nor does Yakuza 5.

WetN00dle694733d ago (Edited 4733d ago )

Yeah i too was in a WTF state of mind when they said Yakuza 6. Well then again if they count all of the Yakuzas including Kenzan with of The ends Release that makes it 6 yakuza titles.Yakuza 1,2,Kenzan(Spin off released one year before Yakuza 3),3,4,Of the end(6th title released).

Anyways, Infamous 2 is FACKING AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WetN00dle694732d ago (Edited 4732d ago )

Well yeah BUT isnt that for PSP?
Might be part of the Ryu Ga Gotoku series BUT its not part of the Ps2/PS3 releases.

watchvideogames4733d ago

The game is called Ryu ga Gotoku: Of the End. The 6th installment of the Yakuza franchise. The limited edition of the game is number 2 on the chart so it's outselling everything in Japan by a far margin.

anasurimbor4733d ago

It's not the 6th installment of the Yakuza franchise. The numbered games are only up to 4. If you go by the logic that spin-offs count, then Of The End is "Yakuza 7".

No matter how you look at it, it's not Yakuza 6.

firelogic4733d ago

1. Yakuza
2. Yakuza 2
3. Yakuza Kenzan
4. Yakuza 3
5. Yakuza 4
6. Yakuza of the End

You could add Black Panther but that's a PSP game that doesn't have Kiryu in it at all.

Redempteur4733d ago

it's yakuza of the end not yakuza 6 .. the spin off clearly do not count toward the number as Kenzan proved .

is "of the end" so hard to write ?

Warprincess1164733d ago

This is great. I hope this sells millions of copies. Sony needs to make a profit at the end of the year.

Alos884733d ago

I hope Yakuza: Of the End gets localized. Yakuza 4 sales seemed to suggest that there is some interest in the series over here.

RankFTW4733d ago

I bought Yakuza 4 but it just didn't get a hold on me like Yakuza 3 did. Looking forward to Yakuza of the End though.

InfiniteJustice4733d ago

I sort of feel the same. Yakuza 4 was brilliant though... My only one real problem is that very last boss. In this day and age there is no reason to sour a game with a last boss that is THAT cheap

I want it too. Make it co-op as well.

-Foxtrot368d ago

Yeah they had a lightning bolt in the shape of a question mark at the end of Infamous 2

They always went off the good ending for Cole so I think for Delsin it should be the bad ending

What he did in the bad ending, absorbing everyone’s powers, seemed like he was going to turn into something powerful.

Makes you feel like he could have been the real Beast and John was just an anomaly because of them messing with time

Sets up a Cole vs Delsin showdown

potatoseal368d ago

How would fans feel about a reboot? You know to bring a new audience in? Not a good idea? Good idea?

anast367d ago

Not a god idea. They let it sit for too long and the game hasn't been strong enough to carry itself all these years. There is so much other stuff out there right now.

masterfox368d ago

Second Son was released in 2014 was an amazing game visually and gameplay wise, sometimes I play it again on the PS5 and seeing it run at 60 fps is something to behold(yes an almost 10 year old game), if you haven't done that on your PS5 try it you won't be disappointed, pure eye candy, a PS5 exclusive of Infamous would be amazing no doubt.

gold_drake368d ago

meh, i want Cole to come back.

or maybe a reboot. with cole.

Older PlayStation games that we'd love to see on the PlayStation 5

From Xfire: "For a company with a three-decade-long history in gaming, Sony has done a crappy job at preserving its legacy. "

Flawlessmic759d ago (Edited 759d ago )

All the mgs games, all the ape escapes, silent hill 1-4, croc 1 and 2, legend of dragoon, tekken 3,tenshu, bushido blade, vagrant story, okami, ico, crash bash, gt4.

Thats just off the top of my head that i would play immediately, still so many more though that id love.

Welshy758d ago

MGS, Silent Hill etc are no brainers, but you earned my thumbs up for our boi Croc. I talk about him all the time, it's an honour to find another man of culture.

Flawlessmic758d ago (Edited 758d ago )

Hahaha yea was one of my very first games i owned on ps1 as a child, great memories!!

Love to hear there other people out there that enjoyed the gem of a game that is croc 👌

RedDevils758d ago (Edited 758d ago )

Okami has HD version already. I want those Sly games though since PS3 and vita had it.

Flawlessmic758d ago

Yea sly would be cool, i never got into those so would be a good opportunity for me to do so.

But yea theres so many games in sony catalogue we coukd be here all day listing titles.

Hopefully we all get the ganes we are hoping for.

outsider1624759d ago

Tenchu 1 and 2
Socom 1 and 2
MGS 1-3
MGS4
ICO

seanpitt23758d ago

RDR2 for me they can boost that up to 60fps with better graphic settings than last gen

Luc20759d ago

Folklore. It was such a unique and beautiful game. Great soundtrack. I still have my PS3 copy

The_Hooligan758d ago

YES please! Also I would love to see Warhawk come back. Such an awesome game.

moriarty1889758d ago

The Resistance and a killzone series for me.

Bigman4k758d ago (Edited 758d ago )

Infamous 1 & 2 probably will get remaster for PS5/4 at some point as for the others in that article idk

If the PC can emulate the PS3, then for sure the PS5 would be able to do same. but dose Sony want it?

Mr Logic1421d ago

If there was money in it, then Sony would do it. People can bitch and moan all they want, but even if every person on this site used BC, that would still be a tiny fraction of gamers. Almost nobody really uses BC.

DethWish1421d ago (Edited 1421d ago )

I think there would be money if they made PS3 games downloadable through PSNow and added a bunch more.
Edit: I would get it if MGS4 was available

Mr Logic1421d ago

@DethWish

That would be an emulator. You're not making any sense.

DethWish1421d ago

Mr Logic, really? If PS5 could emulate PS3 games (BC) and PSNow would let you download and play PS3 games locally instead of streaming (like it lets you download PS4 games), wouldn't that be awesome? PSNow has some really interesting PS3 games, but I'd prefer to play them locally

MadLad1421d ago

Really?
Remasters of popular games do extremely well. MS basically hands them out for free. If people didn't want to play older games, then why do remasters sell so well?

anonymousfan1421d ago

I honestly would probably never ever use it... But I still think it would be pretty neat. Its one of the few avantages PC still has on console that is complete backwards compatibility. But for all the work needed to implement this I doubt it would be worth Sony's time.

Melankolis1421d ago

In my opinion.
The difference is independent emulator developer can build any emulator as an experiment that will be perfected for years, maybe more than 10 years. During that time, expect many glitch, bugs, and updates. They can do that because they do not have any obligation towards PC users or whatsoever.

Fos Sony, once they announce PS5 will be able to play PS3 games, they have to make it safe and playable for users. They do not want the emulator cause bricks, glitch, heating up or anything to the consoles and get sued for that.

Harkins17211421d ago

The amount of work it would require sony for each game probably isn't worth it. Maybe after rpcs3 is done they can patent it and use it. That's the dream lol

This has been going on for years any full game playable yet

EazyC1421d ago

Wish I never sold my PS3 for MGS IV alone, I'm dying to play it again

Gamerking821421d ago (Edited 1421d ago )

Any ps3 owner has too own this masterpiece . My disk drive has just gone on my old super slim . So I bought the digital version no questions ask . If you have a ps3 own this masterpiece that’s all I can say . I replay it every year and still find loads of enjoyment . The last true metal gear in my opinion . V was good and gameplay amazing , but it’s just not a metal gear quality story wise .
