Yeah, I don't understand why you can't play PSP titles on your PS3. It doesn't really make sense to me. :S

I just wish they could have made it so that you could play the PSP titles on the PS3. Then my wallet (more like my boyfriend's wallet) would be hurting. I own Droplitz already and unless I get a PSP before the sale is over, I'm out of luck.

Man, I want to buy almost every game on this list! The exceptions are the Personas because I already have those lol. I think Atlus is trying to make my wallet bleed this week!!

Another reason I wouldn't mind a trip to Japan. I always felt that Vampire Hunter D had lovely artwork and the Final Fantasy games as well.

I can't wait for this game. When I read about the technology being used to do the facial animations for the characters in this game, my interest was grabbed. And by seeing that trailer, it looks to be very promising.

Whatever it is, they have my attention. I haven't been let down by Bioware as of yet.

Snake was never a prevalent figure in gaming until he made his debut on the PlayStation. Platform is nearly irrelevant in this kind of scenario. If Sega suddenly started making amazing consoles, do you think they'd use someone besides Sonic?

The original Metal Gear Solid was an NES, top down, action game, but did anyone know about Snake before Konami basically invented the stealth genre of games? Nah. That's pretty mascot worthy, though I stick by my earlier comment that people who kill can't really be PR-worthy mascots.

Oh, and speaking technically, Snake's Revenge was a half-baked sequel (made without Kojima's supervision) to the original Metal Gear which debuted on the MSX in Japan. Just sayin'.

I didn't say he'd be a good mascot. I just equate Solid Snake with the PlayStation brand.

What I find really funny is the game "Snake's Revenge" was on the NES before Playstation was even a glimmer in Sony's eye. You sure Snake is a good Sony mascot?

Isn't the point of a mascot to promote ONE team...not three?

Rather than buy these on PSN, I wonder if it would be cheaper to just import the European version later.

Re: Community Voice #20: Who’s PlayStation’s “Mascot”?

K-Tuck — Wed, 17 Nov 2010 13:23:46 -0000

You mean those ports and remakes of games that originally launched on PlayStation hardware? No, no I'm not counting those.

Re: Community Voice #20: Who’s PlayStation’s “Mascot”?

Drachaus — Wed, 17 Nov 2010 12:25:25 -0000

So you're not counting the Gamecube and Xbox versions of Snake?

Re: Community Voice #20: Who’s PlayStation’s “Mascot”?

Snake has always been and will always be a PlayStation character.

Part of the issue is that the Playstation has never been a one-trick pony. Nintendo has always had an over-reliance on Mario as a brand (cut out the Mario-branded products from Wii game sales and it'd leave a fairly sizeable hole - bigger by far than cutting any one brand from PS3 or PS2), and Microsoft has a similar issue with Halo. Playstation's strength, on the other hand, has always been about providing a wide variety of quality gaming experiences. Instead of having one 'uber-mascot', it's got a very strong selection of brands, from God of War (Kratos), Ratchet and Clank, Uncharted, Sly Cooper, inFamous, GT5, Wipeout, Motorstorm, LittleBigPlanet (Sackboy) and SOCOM (strong brand, but no-one outside of it knows Jester as the legend he is ;)).

I can't believe I'm actually commenting here, but I've been playing FFVI lately, for maybe the third time, and I've found it to be a lot less impressive than I remembered it being a long time ago. I thought it was a great game, and it's still one of my favorites, in any genre, but I think peoples favorite games tend to be ones that they played at an age when they were very open to new things. So I think saying that FFVI is by far the best Final Fantasy game is pretty biased and opinionated. The characters are cool, and are a big improvement over FFV's, but they have very minimal dialogue, and are very underdeveloped. FFIX had some ridiculous-looking characters, but they definitely felt a lot more alive and full of personality to me. FFVI had some nice environments, but the story didn't spend enough time in a lot of them, in my opinion. I didn't find FFVI particularly more emotional than than the games in the series that came after it. I'd like to see a 3D FFVI too, but I thought FFVII and IX were better games. And I've always found Amano's art creepy, deformed, and out of place with the feel of the games. Sorry for the opposing opinion.

MW2 had spawn issues of their own, in fact a lot of the same issues Black Ops has comes right from MW2. The only difference is you dont notice it as much because the maps were bigger in MW2.

Re: Black Ops Gets Updates

BlackOpsSpawnFail — Tue, 16 Nov 2010 15:26:01 -0000

Yes for f*ck sake fix the damn spawn system, can't they learn from MW2? Can't you leverage the same algorithm? There were a few times when a chopper gunner was in the air in Nuketown, and I just got p'wned the very first second I spawned - A FEW DAMN TIMES IN A ROW. Go take a class on how to implement spawn system.

what the heck? didnt even know that they had a mascot there. So i guess sony does have an official one, just not here in the u.s thats lame

Re: Community Voice #20: Who’s PlayStation’s “Mascot”?

dwightmccarthy80 — Tue, 16 Nov 2010 15:10:12 -0000

Yeah got to go with Kratos on this one but really no company has a mascot like Nintendo does. Mario has worldwide appeal and everyone knows Mario even if they don't game. I don't think any other gaming console has anything close to that. SEGA would be the closest with Sonic but they dont make consoles anymore so...

As much as I adored this game in its time, I'm not sure I could go back and play it again. Look at that interface! It's like trying to read stone tablets.

Btw I totally one shot that dragon in the pic during my solo monk playthrough of the game (which I had to abandon in Throne of Bhaal because there's a part where you're require to use magic T_T).
