A 300,000 sales gap may not be that much to brag about, but when the PS3 is like double the price of the Xbox 360 in Europe and when the 360 has already seen 2 Price cuts in the territory in this year alone, the PS3 is doing pretty well over there and whenever Sony does drop the price in 2009, that gap will only get bigger in Europe.
It seems like a price cut may not be coming in March 09' after reading this...but it's not like Sony would announce a price cut this early anyways.....
I love my Ipod Touch :)
The Zune isn't sleek enough for my tastes and is too big and bulky.
The color is much better in the newer build of Killzone 2 with deeper colors. The old KZ2 2007 build almost looks washed out compared to the new one.
Until I looked at the comparison for a second time, I didn't even notice that Sev's Mohawk was gone... I liked the Mohawk. The only thing that I didn't like was Rico's voice in the newer build...he sounds more like a caveman or something in the newer version, but in the E3 2007 build he sounded different and I liked his old voice be...
@ Homicide,
"If they wouldn't have been arrogant and release the PS3 at around $300, they would've had this generation in the bag."
If the PS3 was released at $300 bucks, do you really think that it would have been much of a technological improvement over the PS2? I mean come on, the Wii was released and is still selling at $249. Surely a PS3 at $300 bucks wouldn't have been that much more powerful than the PS2.
At the price that it cost Sony i...
I'd like to see a next-gen Medievil, Twisted Metal, Klonoa, Legend of Dragoon.
I already know there is already a next-gen Twisted Metal game coming, I just thought I'd put it out there because it's franchise I've been a fan of for a long time, and to me the last "great" Twisted Metal game was Twisted Metal Black WAY back in 2001.
After clicking on the link, I saw the picture of one of the new Helghast enemies on the cover of Gamereactor's latest magazine and I almost forgot about them. They look like they are a bit more stealthy and are pretty quick.
Did anybody catch the release date for Killzone 2? In the preview it said, "Killzone will contain 14 different weapons when it is released 24th February next year ...". Since this comes from a European site, I'm guessing that Feb. 24th is the Europe...
@Homocide,
From what I've been hearing about Killzone 2 from people in the Beta, it is a more slow paced game. Some may like it while others may not. I liked Killzone 1's gameplay, and I already know I'm going to love Killzone 2.
Killzone 2 is a more realistic shooter and grounded in reality a lot more than Resistance 2 is and KZ2 has somewhat of a tactical feel to the gameplay because it's not so fast paced. If Killzone 2 had the same pacing that Resistance 2 had, t...
"good graphics but I like HALO gameplay "
And how do you know that you won't like Killzone 2's gameplay if you haven't tried it? And what the heck is "Halo gameplay"? Jumping up unrealistically 15-20 feet in the air while throwing grenades? LOL. Get out this thread.
Meh, sometimes I think these gaming journalists are a little to nitpicky.
As far as little variety in Enemies...well, there isn't supposed to be a bunch of radical enemies in Killzone 2 because all the of the people on Helghan are almost the same with very few differences. Even though Killzone 2 is a military shooter sci-fi shooter, it's pretty much grounded in a little more reality. Plus, they haven't played the full game yet and there could be a slew of enemies that they haven...
I've said this once and I'll say it again, with the way the American economy is going, Microsoft shouldn't be relying so much on United States sales. The PS3 on the other hand sells more evenly on a worldwide basis, while the bulk of 360 sales are mostly in one pot (U.S.)
If Xbox 360 sales in the U.S. start falling next year, the overall performance of 360 sales will be affected a little more than PS3 sales will if PS3 sales start falling in the U.S. due to a sluggish economy becaus...
I've heard all of the possible rumors of Gears 3 coming to the PS3 and I doubt it will happen.
I mean come on, without Gears there wouldn't really be much else on the Xbox 360 exclusively, so the Xbox 360 can keep Gears because it's going to need it.
Plus, I doubt that Microsoft would even let Gears hit the PS3.... however, if Epic only had a 2 game deal with Microsoft, I don't see why Epic wouldn't put Gears 3 on the PS3 if they wanted.
I would rather ...
"If they are able to take every 3rd party exclusive from the PS3 what makes you think they cant afford to keep one that they published and helped become such a huge franchise exclusive"
Omega, a lot of those 3rd party titles went multiplatform because of higher development costs and Microsoft didn't necessarily "take" every previous 3rd party Playstation exclusive game.
It seems Microsoft does more spending on 3rd party games than building their o...
NOOOOOOOO!!! I missed it and all the videos are gone. Damn, I'll just have to wait until the videos are up. I already know that the videos are going to be awesome though.
What better way to start off 2009 than with Killzone 2?! Ha ha! Can't wait baby.
Well, it looks like The Last Remnant didn't help Xbox 360 sales in Japan. I honestly thought that 360 sales would see a little spark after it came out, but didn't happen.
The PS3 sold almost 35,000 units for the week and White Knight Chronicles isn't even out yet. I think that a lot of Japanese are basically just gearing up for the release of White Knight, and PS3 sales are increasing as a result. Can't wait to see how well the PS3 sells the first week of White Knight Chronicles ...
MMO's have never really caught my attention that much and I've never played one...I've never
The only MMO that I think most PS3 owners (including me) would be willing to pay a monthly subscription for is M.A.G. (as long as the subscription fee is pretty cheap), but not really for any of the other announced MMO's for the PS3. I think that M.A.G. could have a pretty cheap subscription fee and a lot of PS3 owners would pay for it (I mean come on, up to 256 Player Online Battles, it...
@ gw4k,
"When you download anything, games, demos, firmware, etc, you have to download it then it has to install"
Whenever I downloaded the latest Itunes update and the latest Ipod Touch update this past week, first I had to DOWNLOAD it, THEN it had to install onto my computer/Ipod, so what's the difference between that and downloading stuff from the PS3? Nothing at all.
Whenever Sony came out with the PSP, I don't think that they were trying to compete directly with Nintendo's handheld... even though some older individuals do play the Nintendo DS, the Nintendo DS is mainly targeted towards the younger audience, the PSP is targeted towards a more mature, older audience.
I think the PSP is doing fine and it's doing astronomically well in Japan, but I do agree that there just isn't enough games for the PSP and that's the only reason why I haven't ...
Sony less supportive of creative staff?
Have Microsoft forgotten about Team ICO and Media Molecule? Both of those studios have put some some pretty creative games, and both of Team ICO's games(Shadow of the Colossus and ICO) are considered some of the greatest PS2 games of all time and are highly regarded.
If Insomniac has been an independant developer for this long and has remained Sony exclusive for this long, then obviously there IS plenty of support from Sony tow...
LOL, of course the Uncharted 2 teaser was real-time. It didn't look like CGI to me and after seeing Killzone 2 and hearing about how awesome God of War 3 might look, the PS3 is already getting games with near CGI graphics. Plus, I don't think that Naughty Dog has ever used CGI cutscenes in any of their games that I've played. Even going WAY back to the Crash Bandicoot era on the PS1, all of the cutscenes they has were always realtime, and the same thing goes for the Jak and Daxter series, all...
@ TOO PAWNED,
If White Knight Chronicles sells 200K in the first week in Japan, I think that it would be pretty good.
The Last Remnant was a new IP and it sold 100K units the first week in Japan on the Xbox 360, so I have no doubt that White Knight on the PS3 is going to sell at least double than what The Last Remnant sold on the Xbox 360 during the first week because there is WAY more people with PS3's than 360's in Japan.
I know that a lot of Japanese ...
