Wow! If IGN.com are accurate about there experiences with Killzone, Halo 3 will come in for some flack.
I love the Halo francise as any frequent reader on here knows, but I was disapointed with the Halo 3 Single Player Trailer.
If Killzone 2 matches the E3'05 trailer in Real-Time, then Sony has already won the E3 war, plus it will sell no end of consoles.
I'm a big Halo fan. Love the first two games, loved the Beta and will be purchasing my Legendary Box set in September.
BUT....I am a little disappointed on 2 things.
1. Why was Bungie not there to actually demo the Single Player experience? They did it with Halo 2 and it went down a storm. The 2 minute trailer was a bit poor, with no real explanation of what's new etc. There's obvious things, but I would of like to be walked through it.
2. Graphics...
before Rock Band arrives.
It's a shame to say it after the success of the Guitar Hero francise, but it looks like it's going to get overshadowed by Rock Band.
With a month gap between the two, it should fill the void until Rock band arrives!
I love seeing the E3 trailers. One always stands out from the crowd!
Halo 2, Halo 3, Zelda - Twilight Princess, Killzone, Metal Gear Solid series as a whole.
Can't wait to see what this years big one is!!
Not sure how it would work on the DS. Would it be a FPS? Or a Side Scroller? Or even something in the vain of Halo Wars.
Sounds a little bogus though. I'm sure that if there is a copy of Halo DS out there that is an official game linked to Bungie, that there'd be more people out there with a copy, and leaked on the net.
I'll wait to find out if it's true or not, but I'm not holding my breath!
In less than 12 hours and all will be known about Halo 3.
Patience!!
Good find though!
I'll be very suprised if they issue a UK price cut so soon after releasing the console in Europe. Remember it's been 9 months since the USA release, but only 3 months since the European release.
If they do price drop the PS3, I'm guessing of a £75 drop = £350 RRP, which will still be £50 over the X360 Premium pack, unless MS price drop as well, which I think they will.
My guesses are then:
PS3 = £350 RRP
X360 Core = ...
Games like TOS2, Dragon Quest and Final Fantasy CC all for the Wii is the right move for Nintendo!
This will definatly assure that the Wii will still sell out in Japan, just because they are bonkers for RPG's, with Dragon Quest being the biggest of all of them, just look at the number of copies they sold of Dragon Quest on the DS!
Now only if MS managed to get some of these games out in Japan, then maybe they would of had a bit more of a success over there! There...
was to be added to my Top 10, and 1 of my current picks knocked off, it'd probably have to be Mass Effect.
Don't get me wrong, Mass Effect look awesome, but from a personal point of view, with my Job, family and keeping the missus happy I'd probably not be able to get into the game as much as I'd like to. It looks pretty massive in scale with probably around 50-100 hrs worth of gameplay (complete estimate!), time I haven't got!
As for Lair, I'm still not sure bec...
There are soooooo many A-Class games that are coming out within the next 6 months, it's going to be great for whatever console you own.
Here's my top 10 list, in no particular order (If anyone cares!):
Bioshock (X360 / PC)
Smash Bros Brawl (Wii)
Heavenly Sword (PS3)
Halo 3 (X360)
Rock Band (X360 / PS3 / Wii)
Mass Effect (X360)
Metal Gear Solid 4 (PS3)
Legend of Zelda - Phantom Hourglass (DS)
Grand Theft Auto...
Although Mario Galaxy is going to be a great game, I think the main fight will be against Master Chief and Solid Snake!!
It's going to be a close call.
Although I can't wait to see the Halo 3 Single Player experience, I have a feeling deep down that I just want to see the MGS4 playing experience a tinny wienny little bit more, even though I don't own a PS3 yet.
I've seen and played some of Halo 3 with the beta (although it's not single player obvi...
I don't think that the absence of the PS2 Hardware to be replaced with PS2 Software Emulation would cost that much, especially with the amount of consoles they mass produce.
I just think it's easier and quicker for Sony to produce a console without those PS2 hardware chips, and quicker to just use the a software option.
Also remember that all European consoles use the PS3 Software, and the price is more expensive then most regions across the world, and it's likel...
Do we really need another port of RE4 on another console???
It's a fantastic game and all, but surely instead of Capcom wasting time on porting RE4 to the X360, they should be using the man power to get RE5 out on the shelves!!
Also, how can you tell from that screenshot that it's from the X360 version?
N4G has everything is one place!
Even with the flame wars we all know that the X360 fanboys, Sony fanboys and Nintendo fanboys love really love each other!!! ha ha ha
Keep it up N4G's!
Although a countdown doesn't change anything, I'm sure this will sell bucket loads, with me buying 1 copy as well!
There's only one thing that deters me from buying the Elite 360.
They call it the Elite, but don't include the HD-Player inside.
I'm in desperate need of a new X360 with my old 360 red ringing and a patch up job to get it going until I do buy a new one (speeding up the fan can't be doing it any good!!)
I just hate the fact that I'm paying around $100 extra for a HDMI port for games that don't display 1080p or even 1080i true resolutions (except fo...
Once I hit the states this October, I'll be buying my PS3! ($500 = £260 in the UK. £425 = $850!!!)
Bargain!
Seriously, I think September - October is the perfect time to buy a PS3. The bigger games will be arriving (Heavenly Sword, Killzone, Lair etc), hopefully the new Rumble Controller will be included into the pack, if not definatly in the 80gb Motorstorm Bundle!
With the PS3 sitting next to my X360 and Wii come mid October, it's goin...
that they will release the game on it's own due to the fact that people already own the GH2 guitar for whatever platform (the Wii may be an exception), which may increase sales for people who may not be able to afford the more expensive package.
I'll buy the drums and the game first, and use my old GH2 guitar in the beginning.
I know I won't be buying a microphone though because I can't sing for S&*t, and I'd rather hear the original vocals blasting out of m...
bet against it. Nintendo do rename a lot of it's product with perfectly good names with stupid names.
It happened the with the N64 (was Dolphin)
It happened with the Gamecube, but I can't remember what that was called and it happened with the Wii (Revolution).
It was only a matter of time before they started doing it to there games, although I hope they don't, because they've been announced for over a year and that's what people know them as!
Sorry - It double posted!!
