I hope they introduce Skype to the PS3 in a future update. They've implemented this on the PSP so maybe they will bring it to the PS3 at some point in time. Other than that I'm quite happy with what the PS3's firmware provides, maybe MKV support some others have mentioned.
Seriously, the PS2 backward compatibility support is overrated. You think you want it but when you have it you won't really use it. I have it on my 60gb PS3 and I used it once in all that time. I'd much rather be playing PS3 games.
Great Score. Really looking forward to it.
I don't think this guy will be getting any more review discs in future. The Screenshots had a product ID printed straight across one of the disks, which I'm sure Sony can directly track to the person it was given to. What an Idiot.
That's true blademask, but I can't think of any popular FPS coming to the market in the next couple of weeks to compete with it (other than the obvious KZ2 for the PS3 only). The 360 and PC have a large FPS fanbase so there's a good chance they'll pick it up.
Anyway, I'll be picking this up along with KZ2 when it's released but that's because I loved the original on PC. Can't understand why this is getting compared to KZ2 though, they are two very different FPS games. FEAR is a...
They didn't port the 1st FEAR game to the PS3. It was done by another 3rd party. Almost the exact same situation as when EA ported The Orange Box to the PS3, it wasn't done by Valve.
This is a multi-platform game. KZ2 is exclusive to PS3 only. The 1st FEAR was huge on PC and with it also being available on the 360 I don't think sales will suffer at all.
Glad to hear the demo is impressive on the Console. I loved it for PC and have really been looking forward to the sequel. Is the Demo that has been released single player only?
the US video store isn't accessible from Europe. It's locked out by IP location. Saying that, I'm not sure why someone from Europe would want to access it anyway, have you seen the prices of the stuff on there...crazy. It's almost cheaper in most cases to buy some of the things in store.
COD was also released in 2007. It's 2009 now. However I personally don't care about coop. I have COD:WaW and have never played coop so it's not as important to me, but it's just being pointed out that it's one of the possible features it's missing can could result in it not getting a perfect score.
That's understandable but the game's isn't due to be released until the end of February, over 1 month away, and they say the single player is about 10 hours.
It was probably on easy just for demonstration purposes.
The AI did seem a bit weak in parts in the video at least. Hopefully it was just a case of being on an easy mode. There was one part of the video where the enemy stood in a doorway shooting (and missing) at you for several seconds while you stood there and prepared to throw a nade in at them.
Graphics -> Awesome
Lighting -> Awesome
The grenade explosions looked somewhat weak too, when compared to FEAR 2 at least.
I don't expect 10's ac...
The Chinese wouldn't pay the outrageously overpriced value for Apple products anyway, plus they have Meizu.
The game is multi-plat so I'm not sure how they messed up here. The first game of this was huge on PC and it will probably be popular on xbox 360 too with little FPS competition in the way. It's chances are reduced on PS3 with Killzone 2 coming out 2 weeks after it but that's not going to stop me enjoying both of them. Also the first one that was ported to the PS3 was not done by Monolith so here's to hoping for better a better version.
I think it was just released at a bad time. It's not a bad game, but it's not fantastic either. The market got saturated with games in November/December. Games like Tomb Raider, Dead Space and Fallout all ended up on the shelves here selling for 19.99 and they are all good games.
Umm, Monolith didn't do the port. it was done by another third party. This is why it was so terrible on PS3. If you want to enjoy the original F.E.A.R. game, play it on the PC.
Killzone 2 should happily keep us going until the next COD game :)
SL1M DADDY, a couple of things to consider are the there may be more than 1 xbox live account to one household with the game which would change its numbers and also as you pointed out lending the game to friends.
On the PS3 with 4 million sold and 4 million unique PSN IDs isn't a great comparison. the PSN lets you create as many free PSN ID's as you like thus increasing the unique count. I know dozens of people who have played COD4 on the PS3 with more than one account.

Slightly OT, but any of you guys see the new Samsung P3. It's looking nice.
I love the iPod Touch/iPhone UI but there are two things that are a must have for me which no iPod has ever had. Lossless codec support (FLAC) and an FM Radio.
AVI isn't a video codec format. AVI is a container for audio and video. What each are encoded in could be a dozen different codecs available.
