That is a good launch window. A really good launch window for real. I wonder how many are confirmed.

D R Fz7132d ago

That is a rather large amount of games for the launch window. Now i just need to hear more info on the online aspect of the ps3 and it will be a nearly flawless launch for me.

andy capps7132d ago

Yeah it is, and that's good news, but I wouldn't take that list as the 100% truth. Unless they've confirmed all of those anyway. SCEJ confirmed that Motorstorm is being released in November (or maybe it was December), so that is wrong if that is released at the same time in America. Supposedly all of the languages are on the same Blu-ray disc so I would assume that it would be released at roughly the same time as in Japan. That may or may not be correct, but I would think that the launch games are probably correct since they've probably been told by the publishers what the deal is. The ones beyond that may just be guess work.

Have you been converted to the Sony side or are you just giving some props to the launch lineup? :) I agree that it is a good launch lineup, but I just didn't expect that from you.

bizzy127132d ago

nothing stand out on that list that say buy a ps3.its even multiplat games or whats all ready out on the 360 no ofence.plus every game on 360 surport live i dont no a bout ps3 online half tho games on the list dosent have on line features.

sparco7132d ago

I have to aggree with you there m8. Except that Resistance looks pretty good. But still, it aint enough to make me buy a PS3. 1 thing i have to disaggree with is that every 360 game supports Live. Hitman didn't. It didn't even have it on the box.

ORIELKILLER7132d ago

yea it looks way better then the PS2 launch ... ( FANTAVISION ) i hated that game but this one looks way better

THAMMER17132d ago

People who one bloth systems will have some hard chioices to make when it comes to multi platform games.

Get achivements or not. On line game play or not. Free demos or not.

D R Fz7132d ago

but when more details on sony's online capabiliities are released, online gameplay and achievements will be something to look forward to on both consoles regardless of the game.

andy capps7132d ago

Well, some of the multi-platform releases have online gameplay, some don't. There have been rumors about an equivalent of achievement points on the Playstation's online service as well as demos, but they haven't released all the info on that yet to the public. It also depends on if people want to pay a yearly or monthly fee for the privilege of playing against their friends online. Xbox live you have to do that, Sony's games you won't, with the exceptions of if there are any MMO's like Everquest or WoW.

But yeah, there are still some questions about the Playstation's online service because they haven't released all the details, so if online was your main priority and that's all you cared about and didn't care about paying for it, then yeah, Xbox Live would probably be best for you. I consider multiplayer a bonus, but I prefer more the experience of the single player aspects of the game. Co-op is another story though. :)

CAPS LOCK7132d ago

is great. it is much better than the 360 launch, but where is motorstorm and resistance?

SEGA Believes Not Catering to ‘Western Tastes’ Helped Sonic Music Go Global

In an interview, SEGA Sound Team lead composer Tomoya Ohtani revealed that Sonic’s global music success didn’t come from chasing trends overseas.

I think this is how Japanese devs need to think. Catering to the west is a terrible idea. I personally, seek out Japanese developed games because they bring a unique experience to gaming. They just stand out more that way.

Eonjay17d ago (Edited 17d ago )

What do you mean when you say this is how they 'need to think'. I understand the idea of wanting to do them without worrying about Western sensibilities but I also think a Japanese dev can do whatever the hell they want. They don't have to 'think' the way some westerner in a forum says they have to think. You think you are giving someone a compliment but you are really being weird. Its not about who you are but what you do. Last year's GOTY was a western studio that made a JRPG. You didn't see any Japanese people claim that a studio in a Western company had to think a certain way. And yes, I do understand thats not what you were saying but I think we should always challenge our own viewpoints. Personally I have love the unique experiences that devs in Japan bring and I agree they don't need to cater to Western sensibilities. I only take issue with you saying how they need to think. Thats dangerous.

shinXseijuro17d ago (Edited 17d ago )

What he’s referring to is when a company like Atlus does a game and one of the characters per se ; call one of the other kids a retard , they shouldn’t have to censor the final product because of snowflakes all the way in America that are constantly ranting on twitter . None of these folks are real fans and only look for stuff to cry about . If you start pandering too much they end up taking more than a leg and an arm . Japanese humour is so funny but I hate when it’s censored because of “ western sensibilities “

jwillj2k417d ago

Everyone understood the meaning behind the message but you. “I think” you need to go to the mirror, look yourself in the eyes call yourself an idiot sandwich.

Profchaos18d ago

The sonic music is iconic the mega drive games were some of the best on the system but i wouldn't say they were free of western influence especially since 3 was composed in part by Michael Jackson

But honestly most of the crush 40 soundtrack music lives in my head rent free

Flenter17d ago

Sonic 2 Emerald Hill ❤️

drizzom17d ago

Please. Doesn't hold a candle to Chemical Plant Zone.

Stopac17d ago

Uhhh that's a strange thing for him to say. Even in the interview he admits to listening to a lot of western music.

NotoriousWhiz17d ago

Inspiration and trend chasing are not the same thing.

Eonjay17d ago

I think its strange that the topic of Western catering comes up with Sonic at all. Sometimes things just are what they are.

Authentic japanese spirit is the right path

Ex-Assassin's Creed Boss Sues Ubisoft Over Alleged Forced Firing

The canceled Assassin's Creed Civil War game was a powder keg waiting to explode

Ubisoft was reportedly working on a game set after the Civil War era, but canceled it due to politics and Assassins Creed Shadows backlash.

lukasmain192d ago

"Ubisoft was uncomfortable with the backlash surrounding Assassin's Creed Shadows' Black samurai protagonist and concerned that the current political climate in America was too fraught."

They are so stupid. There was never a racist backlash to a black protagonist in Assassin's Creed, there was just a backlash because you wanted to have a 7foot black Samurai running around in ancient Japan when you should have had a Japanese local. (I haven't played the game yet, but I plan on it after I finish Ghost Of Yotei)

An Assassin's Creed based just after the American Civil War about a former slave being an Assassin and fight the KKK would have been freakin' EPIC. Something different story-wise in the Assassin's Creed universe. It would have been awesome. When I originaly read this rumor, I felt a bit of a gut punch because that is a game I would have loved to have played. Then I rolled my eyes when I read about Ubisoft's concerns. What a joke.

Were you worried of the fact that the early members of the KKK (after the Civil War) were predominantly Southern Democrats? Is that it? Im joking. But having a Black protagonist, WHERE IT MAKES SENSE, like after the Civl War, is no problem whatsoever. It's a slice from another time that I can't remember playing a game like that before. A former Black slave?. The game could have been really cool. I'm bummed they won't be making this one.

There is nothing “EPIC” about assassins creed dude…

lukasmain191d ago

Well THIS idea for a game could have been. I mean I take your point. I've always been a sucker for Platinuming Assassin Creed games. I do them all, but NONE of them have ever been my GOTY. They're more like a guilty pleasure, similar to the Far Cry games

_Decadent_Descent191d ago

"But having a Black protagonist, WHERE IT MAKES SENSE"

You are aware that Yasuke was a real African samurai in Japan, no? How is a telling of his story (albeit a fantastical one) not "where it makes sense"?

FinalFantasyFanatic191d ago

I honestly think the concept of this game really could have worked, having said that, I don't trust Ubisoft to actually execute it in a satisfying way.

senorfartcushion191d ago

There was a backlash.

Americans are very vocal online and now there are police forces hunting foreign-looking people in the streets to deport them - even if they are actual Americans.

Companies are worried about selling “wokeness” to this population of 350+ million.

Then there are countries that are starting to move away from wokeness, to a more racially exclusive “whites only” traditional, like Poland, The UK and The Netherlands.

That’s a lot of sales, and though nations are becoming racist, it’s clear that big corporations only care about money and will sell what they think those countries will accept.

chrisx191d ago

Saying there was never a racist backlash just shows how ignorant you are.

lukasmain190d ago (Edited 190d ago )

It wasn't a racist backlash. Maybe a few poeple, but the overwhleming majority was not a racist backlash. You thinking there was just shows how ridiculous you are and how warped your mind is.

Running around and killing the KKK and former confederates has been done to great effect in Red Dead Redemption 2.

It would be fun to play that with historical accuracy while debunking the lost cause mythos.

Such a wonderfully ripe opportunity. What a shame.

wesnytsfs191d ago

It was a blast in Mafia 3 taking out those racist F#cks.

cbuc1125191d ago

I approve this message!👍

isarai192d ago (Edited 192d ago )

We've had black protagonists before in ac and it wasn't a problem, Bayek, Adéwalé, Aveline, the assassin has always represented the setting they're in, that's why there was so much backlash for shadows, people have been waiting since the first game! for Japan to be represented by some awesome japanese samurai or ninja, and instead we get an african samurai? With the tease for this game starting with the ending of the very first game, and people begging for it for so long, success was handed to them on a silver platter and they decided to pick this one of all the entries to change the formula, it was a dumb move.

Was there a bunch of racist buttholes shouting? absolutely, but a lot of fans complaining were just disappointed to see them finally take on japan only for the protagonist to not even remotely following the same type of lead as LITERALLY EVERY OTHER AC GAME EVER RELEASED!

Couldn't care less about him being black, i always liked yasuke as a mysterious historic figure, and i love him in other media like the anime(underrated soundtrack btw), Samurai Warriors, nioh, etc, but this was a waste of the character imo.

This just screams tone deaf, just like their entire marketing campaign for this game. Whatever! 🤷‍♂️ I got Ghost of Tsushima/yotei now to fill that void

Inverno191d ago

I'm all for people expressing their views and I will defend everyone's right to do so. But I firmly believe that society needs to progress and be more accepting/tolerant and not be so obsessed with how others live their life's because that truth is it isn't affecting your personal life in a negative way, you just think it is. With that said, just as it was necessary to push back on all the annoying sjw stuff we can't forget to push back on all the ignorance coming from the opposite extreme. F*** the KKK and that nazi ish, I say make the game and let it offend em!

-Foxtrot191d ago

Wouldn’t this have made more sense story and setting wise than having a black slave turned Samurai in ancient Japan.

I’d rather have seen this story played out.

-Foxtrot191d ago

But if you had to choose, this idea should have been first

Notellin191d ago

Because we aren't getting both now and that's what is being discussed. Are you able to read and comprehend the words?

ravens52191d ago

Can you read Notellin? "I’d rather have seen this story played out." I asked Foxtrot a question, not you, don't look silly.

FinalFantasyFanatic191d ago

They should have just done this game instead of AC Japan, it would have been receieved much better.

ravens52191d ago

They should've just done both and not change their artistic ideas for losers that talk about Yasuke being in the game more than actual Japanese people. This wasnt the only piece of media he's been in
