Sony Computer Entertainment Europe president David Reeves said Tuesday that the PS3 is "definitely where the action is" for FPS gamers. He then announced that Killzone 2 won't be out until 2009.

there is resistance 2, MGS4, haze, and killzone 2 so I think they have a reason to say the PS3 is the new home of FPS.

I mean the xbox360 only has halo and gears and throw in another that I may not know of.

Not saying which is better though just saying that their claim is'nt absurd.

skynidas6595d ago

4 ur information MGS4 is not labeled as a FPS title, even when you can play from first person perspective

WIIIS16595d ago

PS3 is the Home to nothing at the moment. It is Homeless in fact. So they, and their fanboys, should really stop making wild proclamations until there are some concrete indications that the proclamations are true. Take a cue from Microsoft and Nintendo - they only make proclamations after the event.

dan-boy6595d ago (Edited 6595d ago )

for ages they've been saying that the 360 has nothing but fps's, and that the playstation has everything. now it's not worked out like that, the 360 has all the genres covered, and ps3's genre catalogue is looking like that of the first xbox.

sony says that playstation is the new home of fps, all the fanboys forget the digs they made against the 360's game variety the past few years, and begin rejoicing lol incredible!

pretty soon, i can see the sony fanboys claiming that having the variety of the 360s library is not good, and trying to claim that the slim pickings on the ps3 is the way to go.

i thought that was another reason why the 360 wasn't gonna do well because not everyone likes fps's???

so what is it people, is the 360 the home to fps and not much more....or is it the ps3? coz even sony have said that the ps3 is now the fps console!

When the home finally comes out, most of the kids would have grown up and grown ups will be in retirement homes. I swear these ps3 lovers change their tones like chameleons. Whatever suits them to make ps3 better they shamelessly start singing that tune. They see nothing wrong with delays and over promised and under delivered stuff by sony. GOD help them come to their senses.

Peace out.

sux that killzone got delayed, but atleast resistance 2 is still here and besidede we have lots of fun games while we wait. just take your time gurilla no rush, resistance 2 should do the same thing to i think 1 year of devolopment is way to fast

HeartlesskizZ6595d ago

after seeing those gameplay graphics im glad it was delayed, how can that new footage look so bad and the footage from E307 looked much better.
im glad RFOM2 is coming out soon.

DomUltra6595d ago

So now we know that Heartless is on drugs we can just get that out of the way, ya drugaddict.

Mr_President_6595d ago

its better that they're starting 09 off with a bang in KZ2 because there is just no room for it in 08. you all know the list.

Breakfast6595d ago (Edited 6595d ago )

lol... i Would hAve thought thIs game would see a release in laTe 2008. But, i guEss its ok. You can say its fOr the better. hopefully it doesN't Disappoint.

hehe...

Breakfast6595d ago (Edited 6595d ago )

lol...way over your head. Look harder.

kevoncox6595d ago

Everyone excited about FPS now. Lol. This entire generation is so weird. Sony fanboys bashed the 360 for having only shooters and FPS...guess what. two years into the ps3' life cycle and it's a shooter's haven. There is nothing wrong with that as I love all games but anyone noticed how no one talks about that any more?

Breakfast6595d ago (Edited 6595d ago )

@ Kevon...its called being a hypocrite. It doesnt matter though...everyones gonna be happy in the next year :)

@ Scerick

thank you...i worked hard for it...lol. But, shhhh.

sonarus6595d ago (Edited 6595d ago )

lol kevon can't say it looks good because it jeopardizes his fanboy agenda. He can't say it looks bad because he will be alone. So he spins off in another direction. Good form kevon good form:D

Just got the wait beyond thing by the way lol. nice touch

Scerick6595d ago

Breakfast,

I see what you did there..

toughNAME6595d ago (Edited 6595d ago )

OMFG THAT WAS SICK

Breakfast you need 11 bubbles right now@!

SouthwoodS6595d ago

I found it... WAIT BEYOND. YA but i rather have a better game and wait for it than a half-a## game. Plus there are too many good games coming out this year so i liked that it was delayed.

DomUltra6595d ago

Hey I got a question, are toughName and Breakfest honestly gay with each other? Every thing leads to "yes, no doubt about it" on my magic 8 ball.

sonarus6595d ago

HAHAHAHAHAHA
toughName and Breakfast Killzowned

toughNAME6595d ago

..now that's just immature

Now take my hand Breakfast or we'll be late for cheerleading practice

poopsack6595d ago

maybe it because ps3 has more variety with first parties, 360 has its FPS', Gears, Forza and... Viva Piñata.

Maddens Raiders6595d ago (Edited 6595d ago )

there was a lot of bashing by PS3 fanboys regarding the disproportionate numbers of FPS offerings on that system compared to any other. I must say though in fanboy's defense that was mainly because you and others of your cloth were clamoring that the PS3 had no good games (if any at all) and you clowned HS, R:FOM, and Motorstorm all as some of the worst games ever made while simultaneously touting Halo 3, Mass Effect, and Bioshock as the "be all; end all's" of games as we know it.

Remember that?

I'm glad the the PS3 is finally getting all the respect it has always deserved. It's made my loss of bubbles and nearly 4,000 comments on N4G over the years seem so worth the time. From the months before launch, to the big camp out leading up until 11|17|06, to the complete reversal of the mainstream media calling this wonderful system, "the bastard child, & technological abortion of our time."

Now, the PS3 not only has all of those other games that didn't "appeal" to the FPS lovers of the 360 at the time, but has also moved into first place in the FPS department as well.

So yes, kevoncox there was a lot of finger pointing back in the day in those nascent years of the black beast, but I'm glad to say now -- that the finger pointing toward the PS3 -- is for all of the right reasons. =)

kevoncox6595d ago

Madden -
I'm glad you're honest. I can admit that I prefer the 360 to the Ps3 at this point because I haven't had a reason to upgrade yet. I sold my ps3 and have been wavering between a new 360 or the ps3.

When MGS4 and other games come out I should /could bite the bullet.

Maddens Raiders6595d ago

glad to hear it. I think MGS4 would be an exellent "excuse" to pick one up. 8D

"they always deliver on time"

as if taking a lil shot at the killzone2 guys.

well since KZ2 was announced Insomiac releases Resistance1, R%C tools of destruction and now resistacne2 I guess he has a point

gameraxis6595d ago

but I'll tell ya what, to me, it looks like it has paid off, i mean i CANT WAIT for R2 but the graphics and details (building falling) are much more in depth than R2.

Asurastrike6595d ago

The only exclusive FPS's the PS3 has coming out this year is Resistance 2.

MGS4 isn't a FPS, Haze sucks (the demo on the EU PSN is HORRIBLE), and KillZone 2 was delayed until 2009.

Btw, I own a PS3, and not a 360 or Wii.

Danja6595d ago (Edited 6595d ago )

please to explain what made the Demo so Horrible...im kinda curious..?

btw atleast rent Haze when it's out and dont just judge the game based solely off ur experience with the demo...

either way...im sure no where in the article was it stated that 2008 was the year of FPS on PS3..it says PS3 new home of FPS..we dont know what Sony has planned for next year ..

crazy250006595d ago

Is the Haze demo region locked?? Im in the US

PirateThom6595d ago

There's nothing "wrong" with the Haze demo.

It's a decent shooter... but that's it, it's decent, run of the mill and downright generic.

There's no major flaws (looks alright, solid framerate no matter how much action is on screen, controls are tight, virtually no lag in the co-op), but there's also no amazing new features (and I wouldn't include Nectar in that, it's just a powerup). Haze is very close to Halo 3 in terms of gameplay and style, and that's its problem. It's just a Halo clone with a gimmicky power up.

Had this been released when it was first due, it probably would have scored quite well, but now? The best it can hope for 7s across the board.

kewlkat0076595d ago (Edited 6595d ago )

you need to create a European account, hey I just did and was playing 4-player co-op now I need a japanese account.

Below...EU and AU I'm no sure, I'm in NA.

badz1496595d ago

I'm using an Aussie account. I've checked several times since last night for Haze demo and Motorstorm2 new trailer but still not there! AU and EU are suppose to be the same right??

Phaqutomb6595d ago

i thought the Demo for Haze was just above ok. It might turn out to be good . I'll buy it just to check out the complete multiplayer

@Badz149 its on EU.

Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.

They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.

solideagle29d ago

they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.

Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted

Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments

Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.

PlayStation legend Shuhei Yoshida says Jim Ryan fired him because he didn't listen to him

Why did Sony push Shuhei Yoshida out of his role leading PlayStation's first-party games? He'd overseen some huge successes. Well, apparently, he didn't listen.

Relientk7737d ago

Yeah I can see that for sure. Shuhei Yoshida should have been in charge not Jim Ryan.

Cacabunga37d ago

It should be free highway for him now.. but Sony are too stupid to see this, especially that moron Hulst

S2Killinit37d ago (Edited 37d ago )

Wtf why all that anger. PlayStation is dominating on every level. Besides I think there is a little more to hiring a CEO than just who is available. Its not like its a athlete your team wants to buy.

neutralgamer199237d ago

S2Killinit

live service failures, chasing trends, closing studios. yes dominating

Cacabunga37d ago

Sony is Dominating because competition is not existing. Compared to previous gens this is the poorest in terms of software offerings.

Last gen we got Uncharted 4 Lost Legacy and TLOU2 from ND alone.

This is so far a remasters gen, with no competition to lift up the quality

1nsomniac37d ago (Edited 37d ago )

..."PlayStation is dominating on every level"....

...Really???

PlayStation are soon heading into a new generation in the not to distant future. They currently have the worst customer satisfaction they've ever sustained as a company. The company is heading for a huge crash while at the same time they'll need to be planning how they are going to try and win back that favour and the build up to their new releases.

Yes financially they're winning but they're going to have to ride out this complete public corporate disaster. No one has faith in the company or the product anymore. They've damaged their public image so much this generation. Greed can kill anyone.

Hulst is a disaster......

blacktiger37d ago

He would've done the same thing and fire Jim Ryan and Shuhei would be the villain. Why?
Because Elite creates the narrative and distraction for gamers, users and citizens.

Outside_ofthe_Box37d ago

More confirmation that Jim Ryan is the culprit for what has happened to Sony. Hulst needs to go too. What sucks is that a lot of the good top heads at Sony are no longer there. I wish that guys that were forced out prematurely by Dumbo Jimbo like Shuhei and Layden came back.

robtion36d ago

Yep. Yoshida was responsible for bringing one of the best games of this generation to playstation (Stellar Blade). He is an actual gamer and is in touch with what gamers want (creative, fun games, not GaaS and agenda pushing). He also seems like a genuinely nice guy if you watch some interviews. Of course they got rid of him.

darthv7237d ago

Makes you wonder if MS even thought about hiring him after Phil and Sarah were leaving. He certainly couldn't make their situation any worse.

Agent7537d ago

Microflop. After Windows XP and Xbox 360, it all went floppy.

S2Killinit37d ago

Floppy 😆
No pun intended

badz14937d ago

Yoshida for President! Jim Ryan was and always be a hack! Sony should get Shu back

Lightning7737d ago

All the gamer/consumer lead heads are gone across PS and Xbox. shuhei gone phil's gone (questionable) but gone. The future of gaming is somewhat uncertain across the board.
