Why is their so much stuff coming on my Birthday. Can it be the day after when i get all my money and so then i can have some time to play.
This looks like a petty cool game.

f7897906508d ago

Too many games to buy. This one can be finished in a week.

360rxorz6508d ago

Nice, hopefully the PS3 doesn't drag the 360 version down too much.

THE TERMINATOR6508d ago

PS3 is the LEAD platform for this game.
So its confirmed superior.

360rxorz6508d ago

Which is why the 360 version will be dragged down. Now the 360 version has to conform to the severe limitations of the PS3 and can't take full advantage of the 360.

HighDefinition6508d ago

Yeah....

Like.....

-Uncharted
-MGS4
-KZ2
-LBP

Get a CLUE, young one.

MvmntInGrn6508d ago

Seriously people who make comments like this are under 18 and sad about the console they told their parent to buy them.

This is from a PR guy from LucasArts and you can also read what the project lead said at an article that's available on gamespot.

"At the Game Developer's Conference this year, Haden Blackman, the Project Lead for The Force Unleashed, said that The Force Unleashed was developed first on Xbox 360 because when it was started we didn't have any PS3 development hardware.

However, that ended up making things much more difficult overall, because, Haden explained, creating games for the PS3 is a bit harder, mainly because it's new and has a different architecture from PCs and the Xbox 360.

The team overcame the challenge and The Force Unleashed is the exact same game on both platforms.

Moving forward, though, the lesson Haden said he learned was that he needs to take the PS3 into consideration at the beginning, precisely because it's the more difficult platform, so the hard part is done early.

This was not a LucasArts-wide discussion. It was Haden talking personally about lessons he learned during development of The Force Unleashed.

It was also not a discussion about which platform is better or worse. We love both platforms, and think that The Force Unleashed is awesome on both.

Please do not read into this and draw us into the Xbox 360 vs. PlayStation 3 battle."

EDIT: and from the GameSpot article:
"Our next project will use the PS3 as the baseline, and then apply that to the Xbox 360,"

jesus christ

when the 360 is lead the PS3 suffers

seriously your a fúcking moron the only better thing about 360 is a slightly better graphics chip

hardware wise PS3 owns 360 and you know it, both specs and reliablity

So with the PS3 been lead

your version is going to be just as good as ours, which is better than if it was done on 360

say thank you you ungratefull piece of shít

Kal11386508d ago

You can disagree with me all you want. I posted direct quotes (with links) from LucasArts people, including the project lead.

bosels116508d ago

360asseater, your an idiot!

Snukadaman6508d ago

Well looking at madden 09 and that washed out look...it seems the ps3 lead development strikes back again...that washed out look is just terrible but madden is fun so I will have to bear with it unlike burnout paradise that I have not touched since.

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.

solideagle43d 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

Relientk7743d ago

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

Press X to (seriously) doubt.

DarXyde50d ago

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.

Soy51d ago

And then MK1 killed it again.

15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.

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.

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

Cacabunga52d ago

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

S2Killinit51d ago (Edited 51d 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.

neutralgamer199251d ago

S2Killinit

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

Cacabunga51d 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

1nsomniac51d ago (Edited 51d 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.

medman51d ago

Hulst is a disaster......

blacktiger51d 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_Box52d 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.

robtion51d 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.

darthv7252d 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.

Agent7551d ago

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

S2Killinit51d ago

Floppy 😆
No pun intended

badz14952d ago

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

Lightning7752d 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.
