included the time and cost of producing the games engine. Seeing as nothing in that list comes even close as an all-round finished product (even a year on, still very little ) I think the cost represents real value for money.
Only thing that baffled me was Sony's noticeable lack of advertising, at the time, here in the UK anyway. It certainly must have saved Sony a packet on TV advertising time. Maybe they were expecting all the hype to get the job done. IMHO, it didn't help Kz2 ...
Proof of the pudding.........Naughty Dog are definitely Sony's Alpha male, in the pack. They can talk the talk and CAN walk the walk.( Sorry, but I seem to be having a cliché-sort of day.)
in the foot with MW2. Whoever decided such a major multiplatform title should be released with neither a Beta or a demo, clearly knew that IW 's success with COD4 guaranteed MW2 a license to print money which it obviously has. To me, thats just arrogance that goes way off the scale or just plain breath-taking greed.
Either way, people who bought into this mess have every right to feel pi$$ed at IW and Activision. Expecting to relive the COD4 experience, their trust and belief has...
I think Killzone 2 would have been an equally-worthy recipient. NOTHING on any console is its graphical equal and it feels almost like Halo fans are desperate to convince themselves otherwise when it comes to Reach. Not only graphically, but its unique (and excellent ) controls, great SP cover system and an immersive atmosphere induced by its physics and particle effects make it THE fps of the current gen. Only one Developer is going to improve on Kz2 - and they're busy readying ...
that Sony haven't produced two of their biggest AAA 2009 titles as dynamic themes - namely Uncharted 2 and Killzone 2. A Nathan Drake action piece - especially in slow motion - would look sensational. As for Kz2, how about utilising ' Behind the Bullet'? I'd buy both in a heartbeat.
as a country, we are nothing short of a Third-world dictatorship - I dont recall an election for Brown after Blair quit, does anyone? Doesnt that mean we have an UNELECTED party that just assumed power? The gaming industry, like so many others, have been neglected by a 'government' that proves itself unfit for office on a daily basis. The state of my country and what it has for the future of my kids, saddens and scares me.
are starting to realise the PS3's potential and the exclusives just keep getting better and better, its full ahead for Sony. I m not particularly interested in the motion control stuff and if it fails, it certainly wont hurt the PS3. Seems to me its just something else the console can do. THE big thing that Sony will bring to the Playstation, is 3D gaming. That will be the real kick in the nuts for the ex-box.
that Killzone 3 will redefine the word EPIC. Kz2, albeit a slow burner, has established Sony's premier shooter as a must-have on the console - especially now the PS3's price isnt such a restrictive factor. Only thing I ask of GG is that Rico goes out in a blaze of glory - preferably strapped up to enough C4 - in the very first level!
whilst the PS3 slim certainly benefited from the excellent Kevin Butler ads (which I wished had been aired as much in the UK/Europe as it appears to have been in North America) Sony big AAA titles certainly dont enjoy anything like the TV exposure they should - here in the UK, anyway. I find this both baffling and disappointing; that having got a great product to market its not pushed in the most popular medium, TV. Im pretty sure that this was a significant factor that certainly didnt ...
careful there friend....asking for better physics, lighting and AI and weightier feel to controls, anyone would think you were subconsciously hoping for something along the lines of..........(whispers) Killzone2? Bad news is, when GG launch Kz3, their really wont be ANYTHING to touch it.
100% agree and ADDICTIVE is definitely the word! Causing me a backlog of games I want to start/finish off, but hey, thats not a bad complaint in my book.
To any GEARBOX devs.......
I do have ONE gripe that you could/should maybe fix regarding the Mad Moxxi DLC. Please can you change the grey window/round information notice at the end of a round. With the dropped life and ammo disappearing so fast, its a hell of a job to see where it is and where your going. Seethroug...
that MS are taking gamers in a direction that few appear to want to go. With a comparatively weaker lineup of exclusives for 2010, is Microsoft pinning too much hope on Project Natal? Could it end up as Project Fatal?
OT
Im thinking a 'concrete jungle' third time round - something like a great, devastated city.
wall-to-wall crammed full of 35GB of epic goodness

how about a sackboy skin - growly face and a RPG lol
playing a sackboy skin with an AK47 !! Would love to run through the SP game with it lol.
yeah, Tiger Woods "Hands on" and his "Social networking" seems to have got the boy well and truly bunkered!

well worth the money and an IP that I will defintely follow with as much enthusiasm as for Killzone and Uncharted!
