2008 is being called "the year of PlayStation 3" by a lot of press and analysts these days, and for good reason - there's lots of momentum behind PS3 and Sony have a ton of great new exclusive games coming. This week's launch of GT5 Prologue is one great example, and gamers are already in countdown mode for Metal Gear Solid 4, Little Big Planet, SOCOM, Resistance 2, and on and on. But another big reason 2008 will be a great year for PS3 fans is due to the big things Sony have in store this year for the PlayStation Network. The PlayStation Store redesign is the first step but it's only one example. Sony's primary goal with PlayStation Network is to form an evolving entertainment network where the PlayStation community can gather and discover new forms of entertainment. Some of the key pillars that will make this an experience a success are:
* The PlayStation community;
* Free online gaming;
* Digital media download services; and
* Original content

“I thoroughly enjoy retro-style games and with that, Magic Orbz modernises the classic brick breaking formula and it has held up beautifully.” - A.J. Maciejewski from Video Chums.
BLG writes, "Some of the most popular games have had a rough start, with some of them being downright unplayable.
Despite that, developers have managed to turn it around for them and make their game worth playing. Here are some games that had a rough start but were pretty great."
Sea of Thieves... I'm not disagreeing that the game has improved in terms of content. But I feel that the most significant change between now and its release is actually the public perception. Nowadays, most people are aware that the game is a multiplayer PvP-focused experience first and foremost, and not "Black Flag made by Rare". Consequently, people dismissing the whole experience because the single-player aspect is lacking or the story is plain are much less common.
Several years ago, i submitted an idea to Rare that would change up the mechanics of battling opponents in the game. whereby if you died in battle, you turned into a skeleton warrior and had to fight your way back to the land of the living. It was an interesting twist on respawning and would allow the player to experience both sides of a battle.
I keep hoping to see something like that get added to the game.
It's sad that this quick retort is more often than not true... The industry's acceptance of release and patch has gone too far.
Days gone! By the end of the game I couldn't drop it down! I went around so many hours killing zombies! It was addictive by the end.
I don't know, I got it abit late, and struggled for a few days, and then all of a sudden it just got good!!
one long post to give us all recycled info...C'mon Pete the "more on that shortly" card has been played way too many times
Ps3 Owners should be very excited for whats coming this year, which will continue to evolve throughout the years to come
Nice, at least he confirmed that the PSN cards are coming very soon!!
The store is great, just release a patch or something to fix the missing images on the menu then everything will be as smooth as silk
I can honestly say the ps3 is the best peice of hardware i ever bought in my life. 2nd is my samsung 52 inch lcd 1080p tv.
its great to own a ps3.
and its funny how you never hear anything negative about the ps3 anymore. I was getting tired of the crap last year. Because the 360 was a peice of crap ever since it launched and people praised it. Now they dont..
