Gran Turismo 5 and GT5P has always been Polyphony's main focus. In a way, I kind of think that Polyphony was rushed to have the game ready to coincide with the PSP Go's launch, because before, GT for PSP wasn't even considered to come out until AFTER GT5.
There has been a mixed bag of reviews thus far, so it's definitely not a "sh*tty" game.
Honestly I think that people who are giving GT for PSP low scores are Reviewing it like it's supposed to be a Full f...
I'm anticipating a lot of 9-10/10 scores for Uncharted 2... any other site/magazine that scores it lower than a 8 *cough* EDGE *cough* is just looking for hits, because Uncharted 2 is nothing but Supreme quality.
"but the saddest thing is it will probably sell less than ODST"
I don't give a damn whether Uncharted 2 sells less than ODST, Halo is the Xbox flagship franchise, so what do you expect? Uncharted 2 will definitely sell more than the first, and that...
I'm looking forward to Uncharted 2 WAYYY more, but I'm still getting Ratchet and Clank: A Crack in Time because I really enjoyed Future Tools of Destruction.
The increased difficulty, improved graphics and the slightly different art style has me excited for Ratchet this year, but Uncharted 2 is my most anticipated. Both Naughty Dog and Insomniac make great games, but I think Naughty Dog is a little better at Story Telling than Insomniac, and ND is still my favorite 1st party Sony...
Nah, to me September is just a good month to release a New IP or an Established game without much competition from most other big games before Holiday season ramps up.... for most of big game releases, I think October and November is where it's at.
Another thing I don't understand is WHY December gets neglected for game releases, because for this gen., December has almost always been a VERY dry month... I mean, there were a bunch of games that got delayed this year that could hav...
I have to admit, Microsoft tried really hard to crack Japan, but came up a little short... I guess Mistwalker is the only other hope for the 360 in Japan, because SquareEnix's efforts have done hardly anything at all.
A major RPG like Final Fantasy or Kingdom Hearts would have to be entirely exclusive to the 360 to have any hope of really "saving" it in Japan this gen., but that would never happen, because it most likely wouldn't be profitable for either Microsoft or Sq...
The main thing keeping me from buying a 360 is: The Hardware and Most of the 360 biggest games coming out on the PC. And then when you add in the fact that most games are Multiplat., there really isn't much incentive for me to buy another console.
Having both the PS3 and 360 is great, but if you have both a Great PC and a PS3, you can play most of the games out there. If most of the Xbox 360's biggest games weren't on the PC and had more reliable hardware, I would probably alrea...
I guess Sony is expecting a pretty big impact from FFXIII in Japan and are probably hoping a lot of people go for the PS3 for Blu-ray, but I really do think that Gran Turismo 5 needs to be in the mix in order to meet the 13 million target, because I can't help but think that there really needs to be another big "System Seller" caliber game in the West to go along with FFXIII's impact in Japan.
But who knows, the PS3 Slim had a pretty amazing first week, so maybe they ca...
The footage from this game looked VERY average, and it was never on my radar... honestly I don't see why games like this even go for $60 bucks on release... shouldn't have been no more than $40 bucks.
Even though it looks like Wolfenstein flopped, Id Software's RAGE should definitely fare a lot better, can't wait for that one.
As good as Uncharted 2 looks, I think The Last Guardian will surpass it... every game Team ICO has come out with has always pushed the PS2 and honestly I think that ICO was a few years ahead of it's time when it came out compared to other games in the same genre... it was in an entire different league, then SoTC just took it to the next level.
And if Guerrilla thinks that they can get more out of the PS3 after KZ2, there's still PLENTY of juice left to be seen from the PS3, it wo...
More and more signs are pointing towards Sony UNLEASHING this BEAST this Holiday Season... at this point I'd be surprised if it didn't come out this year. GT5's Release Date has to be incoming at the Tokyo Game Show.
This is how LittleBigPlanet SHOULD have been advertised when it first came out. The “artsy” Ad’s with Video Characters on Buildings and Walls like the Fall 2008 Ad Campaign just wasn’t doing the trick...just simple Ad’s like this that get the point across is all that’s needed...and PLEASE Sony, save the "artsy" Ad's for Japan or something, just not in the West.
I just hope Sony keeps this up and has a great Holi...
There are countless movies that came out on DVD that are remastered on Blu-ray being released literally every month, so how is that any different that Sony coming out with Remastered versions of successful PS2 franchises? Nothing really, and I don't see anyone complaining about old movies being Re-Released on Blu-ray.
Sony remastering some of the PS2's beloved franchises is more like a "gift" to their fanbase, because they didn't have to go through the trouble of remast...
I was a little disappointed that there wasn't an updated Ipod Touch model with a built in Camera or with Video Capturing capabilities like the Nano, but it's still good news for me, because I've been waiting for while to upgrade from my 8GB 1st Gen. Ipod Touch to one with more built in Storage space (I'll probably end up getting the 32GB version).
A part of me wants to get a new Ipod Touch later this year, and another part of me wants to wait a little bit longer just in case Appl...
If I had a site and if this was me, I would have cashed the check, buy some PSN Store and XBL Cards with the money, and set up a mini- contest (like Trivia or whatever) on the site to give away the Cards to winners.... I mean, what better way to give back to supporters of your site?
Regardless of the Check, I STILL would have given an honest review of the game... I mean, a $200 check wouldn't make me rate a game higher if I was reviewing it, and Free Swag wouldn't influence my de...
I've experienced all of these except for Portal and the RE5 one, but Old Snake vs. Liquid Oceleot, Metal Gear Rex vs. Ray battle, and Colonel Radec battle are definitely my top 3 favorites...whenever I was given control of the Metal Gear in MGS4, I was like "WTF!!, This can't be real!"
The Nariko vs. Bohan battle was pretty cool, I just wish that I could beat Bohan on Hard Difficulty.
The Leviathan battle in R2 was "o.k.", but it was mostly a lot ...
I never believed that September release date for GT5 anyways, There's just no way that it would be released before GT for PSP.
But I do think that the GT5 PS3 bundle rumor for Dec. sounds pretty likely, because it directly coincides with the Official brochures passed out at GamesCom stating that the release date for GT5 was "Q4 2009":
I just don't see Sega EVER getting back into consoles this late in the game, and I just don't see how this is real either.
"When asked how the Dreamcast2 would be competitive with Sony's PlayStation 4 and Apple's iPlay, Kodama's response was terse: "The games."

Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2, God of War Collection, Uncharted 2 and Ratchet: A Crack in Time are definite buys for me this Holiday season. I will probably get Assassin's Creed 2, but it'll depend on whether or not Gran Turismo 5 come out this year... if GT5 does come out this year, then Assassin's Creed 2 will just have to wait until 2010, b/c I MUST OWN GT5.
I want Demons Souls too, but I'll probably have to wait until early next year b/c I've got other things to buy this Holiday other th...

"EPIC FAIL"
"I SEE WHAT YOU DID THERE"
"BOOBY"
"GIANT ENEMY CRAB"
LOL, I almost can't believe those words are in this game...
I don't have a DS, but just something about this game makes me want to get one.

If I were writing this Top 5 list, I'd say:
#1 Alan Wake
#2 Mass Effect 2
#3 Splinter Cell Conviction
#4 Forza Motorsport 3
#5 GTA Ballad of Gay Tony
I have nothing against L4D2 or Halo: ODST, it's just that I think both Conviction and Mass Effect 2 look a LOT more intriguing than L4D2 and ODST.
These recent new PS3 Ad's are just brilliant...
