Great sales month for PlayStation platforms
"If there was ever any doubt about the power of the PlayStation brand in the US, the December NPD data should quickly quell it," said Jack Tretton, president and CEO, Sony Computer Entertainment America. "Not only did consumers drive records for PLAYSTATION 3, they also validated the excellent value represented by PlayStation 2 and the entertainment versatility of PSP. These sales figures bode very well for the company heading into 2007."
From school politics to ping-pong, pistols to police procedurals, let’s dive into the best that Rockstar has to offer.
Saif from eXputer inquires, "Despite the everlasting popularity of the genre, why hasn't there been a good AAA horror game in a while now?"
@crow
Did I give away your secret? It's okay, if you sit on your hand and numb it, you can pretend it's her playing with your little stick.
Even when they do it's first person trying to copy Outlast, Five Nights, P.T etc
I think the Dead Space / RE2 / RE4 Remake and the Evil Within 2 showed you can have a good story based, third person survival horror game.
I feel like we haven't had much in the way of horror games for years, I think it became rare after the PS2/PS3 gen. Maybe i'll pick up that Crow Country that recently came out, that looks good.
"In a time when companies don't care about preserving games, I have high respect for the creators of projects like N64: Recompiled." - Hanzala from eXputer.
il beat you to the ski-lift,
framerate on snowboard kids was shocking, do you remember./?
talking of shocking framerate and kart racers style games,
Sony had a gem on ps3, with 'Modnation Racers' but again, framerate was so terrible, still fun though, indeed, when is drifting sideways not fun, the answer is never. we have not seen enough of that game, technically some people made race tracks/games in dreams and little big planet etc, but its just not the same,!!! grrrrr
morning rant over.
here, relive some ,memories. https://www.youtube.com/wat...
The load time on ModNation where also excruciatingly long... But man oh man I wish that game took off more, so much fun! Could turn off garbage rubber banding, I had karts with 100's of stickers to design some crazy cool stuff, custom tracks. Fantastic undeappreciated game
Some food for thought:
Would you donate your physical copy of a really rare/expensive cartridge (Conkers's BFD, Bomberman 64 Second Attack, Ogre Battle 64, the two Castlevania titles, etc) to those managing this project for the greater good of getting them preserved online for all to experience at some point?
As long as it meant they never took money from Patreon and invited a DMCA takedown / lawsuit by Nintendo to take it all away. After seeing the whole debacle with Yuzu I now question how long any of these teams can maintain game preservation efforts through emulator development, or otherwise.
Is it realistically needed though I would not personally give anyone my old carts for games that are already persevered and easily available online
The snippet of ray tracing at the end of the og trailer was low-key amazing. I found out thanks to Nerrel who also made a texture pack for MM, and i can't wait to see how much more great this game will be in the near future. With model swaps, ray tracing, retextures, and a more quicker process than decompilation, it's gonna bring new life to N64 games.
There might need to be a bit of clarification recompilation is not the same as decompilation.
This is basically a container to excite the rom within but allows for all sorts of beat additions and tricks like new lighting effects such as ray tracing to be added.
But decompilation would ultimately be king as it allows for a widespread porting capabilities and uses the assets from games to build a native install for PC or whatever the target system is e.g Mario 64 for PC or sonic mania for psvita / wii
The 360 is barely behind their 6 year old system that's a quarter of the price? 360 titles all over the top seller list, with GOW beaten only by a multi-platform title and a $30 DS game? Last place in hardware sales with systems sitting on shelves?
I guess they're pleased they didn't have to do a recall.
I'd at least expected Resistance to be on the top 10 for December, as it's about the only reason to buy a PS3 right now.
Pathetic after all the hype.
how can rfom be at the top 10 chart when there is only 1 mill ps3's out?? explain mr.I got answers cus I s1ck bill gates d1ck. and dont be shocked to see rfom beatin gow like a little kid by march when ps3 is out world wide, and dont be shocked to see ps3 beaten the hell off ms and 360 by march too. you people are so desparet that you start comparing the two consoles and ps3 aint even out world wide yet, give it a break kid, go sleep now 360 aint winning sh1t, and half of the world own a ps2 and still people is buyin more, as mather of fact more the any other console, talk sh1t about ps3 aint sellin thats ok (it aint out world wide yet so that'll be a waist of time) but talkin sh1t about the ps2 is just showin that your a stupid f1ck that cant get off bill gates d1ck.
NPD says they didn't even sell 700,000 from launch to the end of the year in N. America. I guess vgcharts is really f*cked for saying they sold over 1 million.
when comparing to other sites in December. Also their console war numbers are heavily skewed, and have been long before and after official NPD sales numbers without an update of any kind.
you should try reading sometimes, the NPD refers to U.S. ONLY! (forth paragraph, last line) http://biz.gamedaily.com/in...
even with all the delays and bad press,(quote from the website)"in the first two months of availability, the PS3 has sold-through more units in the US than the original PlayStation or PlayStation 2." That's major right there kids.
