Um...I don't think that is real. Can't wait for the next one though! Sadly I just recently got MGS: 4 and haven't beat it yet. So I'm not as hungry for a new one just yet....but still always looking forward to the next one. My PlayStation Blog: http://play-station-world.blogspot.com/
I'd say it all depends on what you are into. Me personally, I'd go with Batman because I've always been into Batman. But I played both as well. inFamous is a great game though. But I'd go with Batman. My BLOG: http://play-station-world.blogspot.com/
We know the new PS3 Slim will play PS1 games but NOT PS2 games. That sort of aggrevates me for a couple reasons. Recently rumors began swirling that Sony intends to sell all PlayStation 2 titles through the PlayStation Network. There was also discussion on bringing Dreamcast games to the PlayStation Network. Hopefully these rumors end up being true of course. But if you don't have a PS2 or it doesn't work anymore you can't play the games you HAVE on the PS3. Will people actually buy games they already own AGAIN? I mean, I'm going to guess the PS2 games would be around $15-$20 on PSN. Now for me, if it were still backward compatible, I would still buy a PS2 game that I always wanted, but never played before. I wouldn't doubt a lot of people would do the same. So is it really THAT necessary to strip the console of its backward capabilities and make people buy the game again because their console won't play the disc version? I discussed this too on my blog today: (moderators note: link removed)
I don't disagree with you. Personally I never considered handheld units as competing against consoles. I was just thinking in terms of the extremely big picture of the main systems, and the competition in each generation (SNES vs. Genesis; PS vs. N64 vs. Saturn; PS2 vs. Dreamcast vs. XBox). It just seemed like the system that made more of an impact was the PS2. Its longevity speaks for itself and the fact that it helped the DVD industry is a pretty big deal.
While the current generations of systems are currently out there sorting out their differences, it is noticeable that the competition between the 7th generation of consoles is quite different than previous generations. First off, in the days of Nintendo it was safe to say that more kids were playing video games than adults. Now those kids are adults and they haven't stopped gaming. The Wii has pretty much nestled into its own little niche. It is a completely different experience than the PS3 or Xbox 360. It proved that a console can sacrifice graphics for innovation. The PS3 and Xbox360 though are still battling it out. In the previous generation though I think it is safe to say that the PlayStation 2 was the best system of them all. And possibly, it was the most successful and best system to date. Its' game catalog was incredible and is surprisingly (under the radar) still growing. Not to mention it brought the DVD player into more people's homes therefore helping to outright kill the VHS format. The Xbox did no such thing and early looks of the current generation; the PS3 is bringing HD and Blu-Ray into people's homes. Check out my blog at the link below and let me know what you think. Is the PS2 the best ever? What are the best PS2 games? http://play-station-world.blogspot.com/
