PS3|VITA Thread: Vita $249 | PS3 BF3 Tonight PG727 | Black Ops 3rd Map Pack PG726 | Dust514 PG723

[theprocessofbelief]

Correct me if im wrong, but has this been confirmed for the PS3? Even more so, why laugh now... We've played it - beat it, moving on to something else now. With GTA selling 2:1 Xbox to PS3 don't expect this to all of a sudden become "big".

So

 I guess

But GTA IV sucked.... so who cares.

Sell 100:1 on 360. No one cares....

 Rockstar might sell a million of these on PS3, but we were on that game for a week before realizing how nothing was new. Might as well have been GTA III: Liberty City

Pretty much. I beat it and almost instantly got bored. At least MW2 has a decent online mode to keep me interested.

 

[zerogravity23]

there was an update for mw2 maybe an hour ago, not sure what it was for though.

No they did not think that, they made the deal so that the 360 version should have a shot against the ps3 version because the GTA series and Rockstar were so tied to the Sony brand in the eyes of the consumer. Looking back the deal was unnecessary, but M$ did make a profit of the deal so I guess everyone wins at the end of the day 

How did Microsoft make $$$ off that deal ? They paid anywhere from at least $50 million for these episodes. It's safe to safe R* finally decided to make these episodes available on PS3 because they saw how bad they were losing $$$ themselves by the poor sales the episodes were doing on XBOX 360.

Check out this article:

http://gameinformer.com/b...gta-expansion-sales.aspx

That article proves nothing. I just says 2k was pissed the expansions did not sell like crazy. MS made got 50% of all online sales for the game they were more than half way to making the $50 back after the first expansion. @@!@ sells on the 360, unlike other systems......Check Uncharted 2's sales

Does Arkham Asylum have any replay value or is it one of those games where you beat once and never touch it again? Same goes for God of War and Little Big Planet.

[limitedretroog]

I don't care about the trophies enough to get a plat.

the part where he attaches himself to the wall and blows fire down the stairway?
if you went and rescued Biorr, he should serve as the distraction for you to run all the way up and get underneath him. it should be easy from there.

Can you remember? I sure can, articles about the PS3’s doom andgloom were circulating carelessly across the web. ‘PS3 is dead’ somewould say, betting on the demise of Sony’s flagship console. But whereare they now? No place to be found, palely they hide behind the scenesor have made a 180 and suddenly singing PS3 praises. lessoned learned?Never bet against the PlayStation brand.

It’s a brand that has been around for decades, making games longbefore some of us could even read; far less write, but now things haveclearly turned around for the hardware giant and we all should feelgood about that.

Just yesterday, we learnt in a report from Japanese new paper Nikkei(via reuters) that Sony is poised to announce a ¥100 Billion ($1.1billion) surge in profit for the period of October through December2009. Not only that but the profits will be much higher than thecompany’s own forecast, great news which will surely send its stockshooting for the stars. The reason for the profits? Well the sameconsole that some journalists weere singing its swan song, is the sameone responsible for this burst of growth. See how fast things couldchange?

Ever since PS3 launched back in August of last year and with a newlower price tag of $299, Sony has seen its PlayStation business wentfrom struggling to reach its goals to struggling to keep up with highdemand. For consecutive months the PS3 outsold Xbox 360 and NintendoWii in all regions making the Slim down console an instant hit. Greatjob Sony, we’re proud of you, but now you must keep up the pace, youcan’t sit and get comfortable, there’s no room for complacency. So wewant to know you have big things and big plans in store for us, wehoping to know…. what’s next?

O i rescued Biorr
but when i finally reached that point (took me forever to actual beat him the first time because i ran out of mana alot), i got killed trying to get under him
after that i did not play it again for four months and i was rusty, could not even make it up the tower to face the blue dragon

when i get home in April im going to teleport to the beginning of the level and work my way back

[h3]MAG to Require Headsets? [/h3]
Posted by ShadowGunner9 at 1:47 PM

http://i659.photobucket.com/albums/uu320/GiantGamer/MAG/3410522790_394bfeb969_o.jpg

It looks like teamwork may actually be required in Zipper Interactive's new massive shooter MAG. Over at Platform Nation it is being speculated that a new rule may be implemented to require headsets in order to play the multiplayer features. 

While this may sound like a bad idea to some, PN thinks that it will help to inspire teamwork and help to create a more enjoyable playing experience:

Now, for me, I don't mind too much when the ordinary soldier isn't wearing a headset, but when a squad leader, platoon leader, or officer in charge doesn't have a headset, I get a bit annoyed.  You see, the point of MAG is to be a FPS like no other game has done, and without communication and teamwork this ends up just being another Call of Duty with a whole lot more people at once.  Communication is key in MAG, especially for those in charge.  Leaders need to constantly be letting their squads know what needs to be done in order to ensure victory.


Zipper Interactive, it seems, feels the exact same way.  According to a recent email from Zipper Interactive sent to GameStop's around the country, MAG will be requiring ALL participants to be wearing a headset in order to play the game starting on February 10th.  This will ensure that MAG becomes the game it is supposed to be: an army communicating and working together to achieve common goals.

Hopefully we will see a bundle including MAG and a headset, making it easier than having to purchase two separate products. It will be, however, hard for those who have already invested their money into buying the standalone game since we have yet to hear if Zipper or Sony will offer any type of deal/rebate. 


Don't have a headset? Don't have MAG either? You can easily buy them at Amazon today!




I dunno how true this is, just passing it along..I thought it was kind of stupid on Sony's part to not include the official headset. And MAG is MSRP $59.99? Online only? Warhawk was 39.99 standalone, $59.99 w/headset..

 

[thehealthinspector]

they just clarified on PSBlog that MAG wont require a headset, the article is fake

Yeah I'm hoping & waiting for a nice limited edition PS3 Slim God Of War III themed bundle, something like what Japan got with that nice Final Fantasy XIII bundle. If they put one out I will be purchasing my 2nd PS3 and my first PS3 Slim. Rumors have been going around that Target cleared out their inventory of 250GB PS3 Slim and put them on sale for $244 a couple weeks back because they know a PS3 Slim God Of War III is coming.
