Am I the only one who thinks Ghost of Sparta can be a PS3 game as it is? It's gorgeous!
PSP has the best handheld lineup there has ever been but the sales are abysmal. 7 million units a year is hardly a feat for a device with so many megatitles.
I don't want to start a fanboy-flavored argument here, but PS3 has several advantages over 360. All these advantages have been montioned countless times before.
Taking sides is okay as long as you don't distort the facts just to justify your allegiance or your not-very-well-thought-out purchase.
Don't downplay BD's and free online's importance either. The former saves you hundreds of dollars if you intend to buy a Blu-ray player, which...
PES has the license for CL, right?
Fifa now is the better choice, but they copied (and enhanced) most of the mechanics from PES.
I agree that it would have been better if both games had the licenses.
BTW, the English Premier League is by no standard the best league in the world.
I don't think I could agree more.
This is a wrong move. PSP is on life support (thanks to the unwarranted negative press) and Sony is wasting resources and 3rd party support by their move. Just look at Peace Walker's sales. Ghost of Sparta won't do much better either.
They should stick to low-budget titles as it's proven that the majority of the handheld owners want games of that sort.
Valkyria Chronicles has a cult following on the PS3, why release the sequel on the PSP?
It wasn't the best selling console over there to begin with.
Barret or Zangief with a tan?
From what we've seen so far, it competes with Uncharted 2. Geoff Keighley also compared it to Uncharted 2.
Only problem: Cole sounds a lot like Shane from GT. A total turn off. :(
"The price really does not matter as much as appeal"
Neither matters as much as marketing. Kinect, to me, is as interesting as Paris Hilton. But it will clearly have a huge marketing campaign to sell it. Without proper marketing, even if a product is appealing, it will fail to move beyond a niche market. With marketing, you can convince people that Pepsi and Coke taste different.
What I mean by inFamous not being overrated is that it did have a very entertaining gameplay, more than AC's for me, but the graphics and overall polish of the game was lacking compared to the other Sony-published games and similar games like AC. It was superior to the similar Prototype though.
inFamous 2's trailer took me by surprise. Didn't expect the sequel to be so different improved to such an extent. It certainly is game to be anticipated now.

Getting platinum trophies isn't meant to be easy. ;)
I think inFamous 2 will look like a completely different game. It will be a hugely improved sequel.
Under Siege can be sold as a full retail game. StarCraft 2 can be ported to the PS3 and become a big title on the console.
Minigames in other games can have these elements implemented. Small RTS games can be developed and sold on PSN. In short, it diversifies console gaming.
I remember some of the Move guys saying they successfully used Move for playing StarCraft.
If Sony wants a killer game which can please the hardcore and give Sony something to advertise about, they have to approach Blizzard themselves and help with the implementation.
Activision Blizzard loses nothing by this move even if the game doesn't do well, especailly if Sony handles the Move implementation. It would be like a blockbuster exclusive for Sony. S...
Infamous is a great game, but I don't think it's underrated (except by the negative, biased and sometimes downright retarded reviewers, and their opinions don't matter).
Blue Dragon does not have the cast of interesting characters and monsters to captivate the Western audiences. It's also a genre which is slowly dying in the west.
Folklore is a great game, but they could have hired better voice actors. It's a colorful and kind of uniqu...
RTS games on big screens. If shooters like Socom and Killzone 3 can become more accurate with motion controllers, then these too.
Using Move for RTS games creates an opportunity for porting and creating games RTS games; a genre which has never made it to gaming consoles successfully. RTS elements could be added into existing games as well.
Price is not as important as content. Both Move and Kinect could have lower prices, especially the latter.
Right now, Sony offers a more attractive line-up than Microsoft, but not attractive enough to make me change my gaming habits. Move is on my to-buy list though.
How about StarCraft 2 on a big screen Sony? That'd be a killer.
And Kratos decapitates her.
I can't say I can agree more. The problem is both critical and commercial reception of such a project.
Most people like to complain about shooters and hack and slash and yet buy those games and prefer them to deep and mature games like Heavy Rain. Well-polished games can't be long and this too can negatively affect how a game performs commercially.
Simple 2D cart racers and platformers get both higher ratings and sales. This is a good reason to discourage develop...
Every once in a while I think I might have overrated this game until I go back and take a look at the sheer beauty and realism of the game, then I try to kick myself but I can't because I'm, you know, big-boned (and have really short legs). :)
