Sony pumping up Another Visual Heavy AAA FPS?

Gameguru -"We've had our share of Killzone 2 gorgeousness and violence being sprayed across our social lives in the beginning of 2009 already. But it seems that Sony has under wraps that is yet to make jaws drop and make us ogle even more."

Get ready to cry some more, xfags.

TooTall196090d ago (Edited 6090d ago )

Don't get too excited about MAG yet. I've played it a ton and Zipper has a lot to fix still. I hope it's Killzone 3.

Edit: MAG is still only possible on the ps3 and most of all it's fun

dawgsfan1176090d ago

I swear you gaming fanboys are the worse than the liberals and conservatives. I mean do you place this much emphasis on all your belongings. Like if I have a Dell but you have a Gateway are u gonna be calling me a Dellbot or some other stupid phrase. Or if I drive a Jeep and you drive like a Chevy would you assault me based on my car choice? I just dont get why you feel a console is an extension of yourself.

But on topic, As long as they can watch these visuals with good gameplay it should be badass.

dawgsfan1176090d ago

I get alot of disagrees even though I said nothing negative about the PS3. Just so you fanboys know im not a bot I own both systems. Just dont see why u all feel like u need to treat ur console like an extension of yourself. ITS A GAME SYSTEM.

Bend is working on a new PS3 title that everyone assumes is a new Syphon Filter:

I can't wait for Resistance 3 in 2010. Insomniac pumps out game sequels every 2 years right? That means Winter 2010 will be 2 years since Resistance 2.

I hope they add some more gameplay types suited for people like myself who aren't fan of respawn game types. I've always been a fan of 1 life is all you get per round. It'd be great to have that with 60+ people, and a time limit. Throw in the same game type with an objective like blowing up a Chimera tower while they have to defend it would be fun as hell for myself.

The last thing I want to see is vehicle gameplay added in. Resistance 1 and 2 really never looked amazing graphics wise since there is so much going on in each map for the online multiplayer. If they added in vehicles too it'd become overly chaotic and take away from the core gameplay of Resistance 1 and 2.

Vehicles in a FPS have to be introduced at the very start of the franchise if you ask me. Gameplay has to be balanced and thought of with vehicles in mind from the very start. If they did add vehicles I would hope it's only in select game types and not across most game types and maps. I'd end up passing on buying it if that were the case.

I am totally excited though to find out what happened to Nathan really at the end of the game. Insomniac has kept me interested in what happens from 1 to 2 without any loss of anticipation, and the same goes to knowing what will happen in #3.

Defectiv3_Detectiv36090d ago

I'd rather have it be something else than resistance. It seems like Insomniac has done all they can do w/ that title. Make a sly cooper or something.

Plus, aren't we still waiting Jaffe's announcement he said would come sometime this year?

SuperM6090d ago

Or he could just be working on MAG.

Seriously it doesnt say its an unnanounced game

Ju6090d ago

R3 could be R2-fixed. I like R2 a lot, but the competitive needs work, the art needs to be consistent through out the game, water dynamics improved, add some destruction, a cover system, a much better lobby system with map reel and "staying in the game while playing ranked" would be appreciated, a bit better weapon balancing and if they really get all that done, they can add vehicles. Visuals are already good, just some minor adjustments would be nice, IMO. I think R2 was to ambitious. To big of a gap from the 1st. R3 could fix that. At least I hope it will.

ultimolu6090d ago

...Mercy Sony, mercy on the purse! o.o

But wow...my mind might explode if I hear about anything else. xD

gaffyh6090d ago

I hope it's Resistance 3.

D4RkNIKON6090d ago

Anyone who calls MAG "Visual Heavy" then compares it to Killzone 2 graphically.. Deserves to be fired.

Please, not an FPS. I am tired of all the FPS's out there.

sniper-squeak6090d ago

Resistance: Rise of Man?

The final in the trilogy..?

JL6090d ago

Just wanted to point one thing out here. The article here doesn't mention it, and I haven't seen it brought up here either. The article does mention that Su-Cheng worked on Lair, and also worked on the MVP pipeline used in The Show. What it fails to mention however is that he was also involved in the production of KZ2. So....all these people claiming KZ3 might not be so far off with that. I mean he did work on Killzone 2. As for the ones claiming it's too early, to you I simply say: look how long KZ2 took to make, you think it's really that farfetched to think they aren't at least getting the 3rd started in the early stages at this point if they're planning on a sequel?

CaptainKratos6090d ago

Resistance 3 with new badass engine would be Epic!!!! Resistance FTW!!! Faaking rules!

Bob Loblaw6090d ago (Edited 6090d ago )

That text could EASILY be photoshop'd and would an internal Sony worker use the term "AAA Title"? "AAA" is a term the media uses and I've only heard it said maybe twice from real developers or companies. Seems to me they would say "Title" since "AAA" has almost become a slang term for an awesome game.

I also highly doubt that Insomniac was working on R3 2 months before R2 came out and over a year before their next title (R&CF:CiT) will be released. Seems to me they would be working on polishing R2 2 months prior to release and/or working on R&C. With 1 game just about to launch and their next game just a year away, I doubt a small company like Insomniac would be working on a game releasing potentially 2 years from then; that would be 3 games at once for a relatively small amount of staff! Insomniac says they like being a small company and that they are.

Although just about everything Sony's first-parties deliver is AAA quality so the odds are quite good for it being a AAA title... that is unless this just a photoshop-job. I could use MS Paint to make that picture look like that document said "Hey Jane, did you hear Kaz and Jack are getting married in California?" but that's not as believable as Sony making a AAA title.

Killzone 3? ;)

EDIT: I totally forgot about Resistance 3. :P

Niles6090d ago

its not even been a year since the game came out...

Hoolock6090d ago (Edited 6090d ago )

resistance is a little dated so i wouldnt be suprised if some killzone engine tech makes its way over there for the next release.

Corepred46090d ago

yeah, too early for a killzone 3. killzone 2 barely came out this year. who do you think they are, valve? ; P

jkhan6090d ago

Its Resistance 3. Sony will really try and push R3 as "THE SHOOTER" for Holiday 2010 since it will be pitting it up against Halo Reach.
One thing I can't seem to understand is that when you look at Ratchet games, the production values, the quality of overall product and the level of polish is simply mind blowing, but when you look at Resistance 2, one would think it was handled by Insomniac's B team. Resistance 2 is a good game with solid multiplayer, to a sequel of an amazing game but it was a let down for me because of cheating AI, uneven presentation and the overall lackluster story and narrative.

THE MAX SPEED 216090d ago (Edited 6090d ago )

I see where you're coming from.

but I had to laught about the Cheating AI line.

822119866090d ago

I found R2 a much enjoyable experience than Gears 2 which was more of the same, I know there are tons of fans who think Gears 2 is a better game but I felt the tension of war completely lost in the second one as compared to the first...

AKS6090d ago

The original's campaign was far better than in the sequel, which seemed to spoonfeed you regarding which direction you must go or which weapon you need to pick up and use. I think they tried to do too much with R2 in too short of a time. Now that they have added an awesome online co-op mode and seem to have that component figured out, all I ask of the third game is too give me back my traditional-style capture the flag mode and make a stellar single-player campaign. The online modes are already pretty awesome as is.

Harry_Manback6090d ago

I'll never forget CTF in Somerset.

LeonSKennedy4Life6090d ago

R2 was pretty disappointing.

It was much shorter than the first game, the voice acting was uninspired, the graphics were...(let's not), and nobody really connects with Nathan. It's sad.

That and the other guy on the squad that survives looks EXACTLY like Nathan!

Also...

Gears 2 had one of the best campaigns I've ever played! Yes, the online sucked balls, but Epic REALLY blew me away with GOW2. (I wasn't a big fan of the first game. It was so repetitive!)

mastiffchild6090d ago

I would think this is very likely to be either of the existing heavy hitting FPS's on PS3-there's no mention of when this game's due, is there? If it's 2010 it's R3 , later and it's KZ3, no?

The only other things I can think of is if Kojima has actually gone through with his FPS desire AND we're going to see it on PS3-I doubt it but it's a pretty thought.

As for the quality of R2 and how it seems under polished next to Ratchet. Wouldn't anything? I mean how long have Insomniac been making those games? Plenty to know exactly where they're going which allows them to concentrate on the tech and looks more than on Resistance I'd imagine. Also they impose tht two year dev cucle on their games which, I feel, some times cuts down on what they can do polish wise.

Anyway I thought R2 was a great game that just missed a little of the complete feel that you often do with the middle game of a trilogy(much like Gears2 if you ask me)AND lacked the posh bitd narrating-which was a sad thing too. The coop is fab, mind, and the ending is one of the best while playing on the hadest setting in SP is pretty cool even if the 60 player games online ARE madness !

Maybe we'll see something new, with longer dev time from their new studio alongside the biannual releases of R&C and Resistance-hopefully the mooted action RPG-who knows but I don't think there'll be another new FPS for PS3 right now myself.

peeps6090d ago

imo rfom's mp was so so much better than it's sequel. just seemed to fit better. in 2 half the ppl don't really seem to know what they're doing and all the different power ups etc are a joke. gives higher ranked players a massive advantage.

they took an 'old school' style fps mp and completely changed it for R2. Sad thing is i can see the mp in R3 being similar to that of 2

jkhan6090d ago (Edited 6090d ago )

First of all I never implied nor mentioned Gears of War 1 & 2. You have to give credit where its due and Gears of War did set the initial bar for current gen visuals. Secondly both games were exclusive to there own system and if you own one of them, you shouldn't be bothered by the other one, both Gears of War 2 and Resistance 2 are not the type of game that you will buy a console just to play them & like me if you own both then you should play both games because both are good games, it's just that in my opinion they don't have the wow factor that there prequels had. Now lastly my disappointment with R2 was totally related to campaign mode. R2 multiplayer is and was top notch.
Oh and yes i agree Gears of War 1 & 2 both had that cheating AI problem but since R2 is more of a in your face game rather then gears which is a cover based game. The problem was far more visible, there is nothing like watching the grims just run pass you allies to kill you. I mean srsly?

Sarcasm6090d ago

I know what Jkhan is talking about.

I've been playing R&C Future again lately, and man it has a rock solid 60fps, but still manage to have amazing animations and textures. You can see how smooth Ratchet's ears wobble up and down. You can even see the fur breezing on his ears. Or the creative enemies that look even smoother.

I always wondered why they couldn't have made R2 60fps instead. It would have made it a much better gameplay experience IMO.

SuperM6090d ago

I strongly disagree. Simply because R2 had 8 player coop 64 player online in addition to Single player, while R&C is single player only.

Ju6090d ago

The co-op is a highlight in R2, the campaign is decent. But its not on the same level as R&C. R2 was an attempt to push a new franchise over its own limits. R&C was more of an evolution. That's what shows. I hope R3 will be that evolution for the Resistance franchise.

Ravage276090d ago

i really hope Resistance 3 will be a Co-op-heavy FPS, which would really rock since it was the highlight of R2. It would also set them apart from the competition imo.

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.

solideagle14d 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

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

S2Killinit22d ago (Edited 22d 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.

neutralgamer199222d ago

S2Killinit

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

Cacabunga22d 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

1nsomniac22d ago (Edited 22d 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.

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_Box23d 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.

robtion22d 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.

darthv7223d 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.

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

Lightning7722d 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.
