Kazuo Hirai, President and Group Chief Executive Officer of Sony Computer Entertainment has confirmed to the Japanese version of Bloomberg that there are no plans for a new price cut for the Playstation 3 console. This accounts for all regions: Japan, America and Europe. Rumors were circulating that Sony was planning a price cut for the 40GB PS3 model for the end of January, but Sony states this is simple speculation.
Gary Green said: You’ll be forgiven if you haven’t heard of the Ar Tonelico trilogy. The previous two games arrived so late in the PS2’s life-cycle that they simply went unnoticed. While most were tinkering with their shiny new PS3s, Ar Tonelico: Melody of Elemia and Ar Tonelico II: Melody of Metafalica were being ‘returned to sender’ by your local Game stores. Luckily, you won’t need to have played them to understand and appreciate this third and final chapter, Qoga (pronounced k-yoga) tells the story of a racial war between humans and Reyvateils, a breed of biologically produced female cyborgs capable of reproduction, while still having a digital mind.
Oh my god. I kinda wish this would get a remaster on PS5, it would be awesome. One of my favorite games on PS3.
That and 3D Dot Game Heroes. It's a shame that some stuff is stuck on PS3.
Ar Tonelico 3 is good I still prefer the first AT game. The music is solid in all the games and Akiko Shikata is a very talented singer bringing life to the game. Only annoying part is well I find is Saki I always choose Finnel or Tyria. KOEI so needs to HD remaster the franchise along with Ar Nosurge and Ciel Nosurge since it never came to North America. I would day one the Ar Toneliceo games and Ar Nosurge if they were remastered.
I still have the limited edition of Qoga unopened. Unfortunately it never went up in value like I had hoped all these years.
Used to own all these quirky JRPG on ps3 good times. Wish I would have kept them all
Gary Green said: We have a juxtaposition of 2D and 3D visuals, flashy turn-based combat, quirky anime characters with cheeky dialogue with plenty of partial nudity; Yes, this is a Compile Heart JRPG. Whilst the engine is borrowed from Hyperdimension Neptunia mk2, Mugen Souls is more of a Disgaea spin-off. It’s not a strategy RPG as such, it merely sits within Disgaea’s ever-expanding universe (Multiverse? Netherverse? Your guess is as good as mine). You won’t find cameos though, since Mugen Souls is a franchise which aims to stand on its own two feet.
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."
Just about every year in the 7th generation was great and something we most likely won't experience again.
2009 for example had Assassin's Creed 2, Batman: Arkham Asylum, Dragon Age: Origins, Uncharted 2, Halo 3: ODST, Killzone 2, Borderlands, Bayonetta, and Demon's Souls to name a few.
i think they would say NO, even if the answer was actually YES.
don`t expect to hear anything until it happens.
IMO
It might hurt them at 1st to drop the price.
but, with the type of year their about to have it would be better for them in the long run. IMO.
Sony has already hammered away at the price of the unit at their own detriment... at some point they need to have a stable price for atleast 9 months. Stablizing the price point will actually help spur sales now that they have hit a price that consumers seem to be more comfortable with. If they continue to have "rumored" pricecuts coming ....consumers will begin to hold off on purchases...waiting for the "next" big deal. Sony cant afford to have the consumer sitting on the bench waiting...
With all the big titles coming this year...and a price that seems to be in the sweet spot range...its time for them to start selling based on the software coming....not what deal they are going to offer next.
i am so going to kill myself because it's only been 3 weeks since i bought a PS3! )x
Standard.
I hope they make a price cut because I wanted to buy the 60GB model but its to late and the 80GB doesnt come in PAL-version.
