Hello everyone! Nice to see you again! No dinosaurs this
week, instead we take a moment to reflect on the current generation of video
games. As the Playstation 4 draws closer to release, I think it is time I take
a look back at some of my most recommended PS3 titles. Now, when this
generation began, a few of the heads at Sony were a little cocky due to the
success of the Playstation 2, which included an argument with Dualshock that lost
us rumble for awhile (to be fair, they were nowhere near as bad as some others have been
lately). Pricing the PS3 at $600 was a steep price to pay and the console originally suffered for it. The PS3’s Cell Processor
was also more difficult to develop for than the more PC style competition, but
it did have it’s advantages when taken the extra time to master, but still
multiplatform games generally didn't fare as well. It was quite a rocky start
for the system. The third console curse was in full effect. But since then,
things have drastically changed. Prices have dropped; mistakes were admitted
too, egos acknowledged and apologized for, developers have warmed up to the
Cell Processor. All this combined with their addition of the Playstation Plus
service, has managed to actually push the system into the top seller of the
generation, a far cry from its slow start, and large gap in sales that plagued
it for the first few years.
