Watch_Dogs is coming to all home consoles this holiday season!

Best year ever for games: Watch Dogs, Remember Me, Last Of Us, Beyond: Two Souls...all new IPs! And then you have the brand new South Park Game and GTA V.

Amazing news!

I'm excited for the Sniper Elite: Nazi Zombie Army DLC :3 I love me some Sniper and zombie targets can only be good fun.

[Benji]

The amount of new franchises is weird. I'm suprised they weren't held off for the next generation.

[TKz]

Is it not coming out on PC? That kinda sucks...

On April 2nd, Rock Band will release its final weekly DLC. For PS3 owners, this effectively ends the DLC run (as 360 owners can still utilize the Rock Band Network to submit songs). According to Harmonix, there are also no new DLC projects or Rock Band projects in the works.

With this, my reasoning for owning a PS3 just became very thin.

[Monkey D. Lars]

we should play that game together!

Ugh. I figured this was coming soon. And I just started getting in Rock Band again as my the only thing I really wanted to do with my 360. Meh.

If it wasn't for Rocksmith vaguely holding my interest, I'd trade systems

[deli]

Is rocksmith any good? I've been thinking about picking it up for a while now.

Now that it's at clearance prices (Best Buy had Guitar game/cable for $40, Wal-Mart at $20, YMMV), I believe it is worth the coin. Great way to learn some songs and get better at the actual instruments. Good soundtrack, too. Freakin' Sigur Ros on a rhythm game; 'bout damn time.

4000 song library, thats hardly thin.

[thatshortguy]

The reason my desire to own a PS3 has become thin is that there will be nothing new to look forward to on Rock Band. I've kept up and purchased all the DLC that interested me, so by saying there's nothing else coming up, why would I go back and get things I was not interested in previously?

Had two pretty good games of LoL today...had a game where I had 8ish kills, 0 deaths and 6ish assists.

Next game I had my most kills (21), but had about 13 deaths.

Heh, I bought Chivalry for £6.20 the other day at greenmangaming. It's pretty good, I can't see myself playing too much of it and I've encountered quite a few bugs but it's a nice enough game.

Then you'd have to rebuy all the DLC which sounds horribly expensive.

[thatshortguy]

I think we're on different wavelengths here. With no new DLC, I find myself with little reason to return and play RB3. With little reason to return and play RB3, I must look to other games to keep me interested in the PS3. If there are little to no games to intrigue me in a PS3, I may just want to go elsewhere for my video game entertainment.

Satellite television logic aside, it just stinks to see what had become an institution of post-release support finally die off.

[BuddyAwesome]

Anyone play the new Yu Gi Oh PS3 game yet?

[Chris2K]

I'm disappointed that the Rock Band DLC is coming to an end, although to be honest they've been getting lazy in the last few months as it is (most weeks it's just songs imported from other RB titles like Blitz or Green Day). I'm a singer so I have to be a bit picky with my song selections (i.e. if I don't know them well enough I won't download them) so my DLC library isn't that big and replaying it can be a bit of a chore unless I'm in the mood.

I take it there's no plans for a Rock Band 4 any time soon?

[Herr Matzat]

Nope.

I just hope that the servers stay up for a long time. RockBandNewwork just as much as the PSN for PS3. Would be sad if the game ends up being disc only tracks in a few years if you end up in a situation were you have to redownload (console switch, HDD fail)

[Ruki]

Do we have an official release date for South Park: The Stick Of Truth yet?
