Only if their hopes were pinned on Lair... which for a lot of ppl, they were. But Heavenly Sword, Warhawk, and Ratchet are still getting high praise.
No, I don't think they were being paid off. On the podcast they praised Warhawk, Heavenly Sword, & Ratchet and Clank. They just aren't very thrilled about Lair is all... Personally, it's still a game that I want to play. It's a game about dragon combat! That makes for a cool game for me... that may not be enough to pull them in. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion.
The game will have to score below a 7 on GS & IGN for me to question whether or not I want it. With all of the mixed reviews, it may just be a rental at this point... but from everything I've seen, it's still the type of game that I'd like to play.
Platforms for MGO ARE confirmed. Kojima stated that it is PS3 Exclusive at the MGS 20th Anniversary party. You're late.
I do plan on getting GRAW 2... but I'm saving for Warhawk, Lair, & Heavenly Sword first!
It actually isn't lame at all! Like they said in the review... it actually seems to be a better game by their strict focus on multiplayer.
Before being invited to the beta, I wasn't even sure I would pick up the game (definitely wasn't going to be a day one purchase) b/c of the lack of single player. Now it's my most anticipated game for the PS3 until Haze & UT3. If you like online games, this will be among the best to come out this year.
Lol, funny how you're getting defensive before anyone replies b/c you already know how gangster the ps3's line up is!
If you read my post, you'll see that I'm looking forward to Bioshock as much as the next guy............ But if I had to choose b/w Bioshock and MGS4, it'd be MGS4 by a LONGSHOT! Bioshock is only a new franchise by name... but it still picks up where System Shock 2 left off. And MGS4 may be an old IP... but it's a sequel of one of the greatest video game franchises ever made, period.
All of which hardly even matters since there are plenty of new IP's coming out this year as wel...
It's true that the lack of Bioshock will not 'hurt' the PS3... I think it's definitely a 'loss' to PS3 owners. By all accounts this is really a must have title. However, the PS3 is getting enough must have titles this fall/winter to compensate for the 2-3 it will be missing out on. Plus... most ps3 owners who want to play this game probably will... on pc.
Actually, Sony did it for the sake of next gen gaming... being their format is just an added benefit. EVERY gen they're the company that pushes the limit of gaming by introducing a better format for gaming... they took us from cartridges to cdroms to dvd's to blu ray... Blu ray is the first 'next gen' format that was a Sony product. You fanboys simply don't want to except that Sony's competitors chose to stay with last gen formats instead of moving forward as Sony has done EACH gen.
Actually, you're incorrect there. The game was in development for the PS3 before development began on the 360 version (it was still announced as a ps3 exclusive when Gears launched... it was not until the Spring of '07 that a decision to port to the 360 was announced).
But as others have said, it will be a good game no matter which system you play it on.
It isn't marketing bull when it's coming from the VP of a 3rd party dev. Plus, this isn't the first 3rd party game that's included extra content and maps for the ps3 version either. We've known from the beginning of the gen that blu ray was going to allow larger games for the ps3 than the 360... you purchased a 360 anyway, so you should be over it by now.
Anyway, this also proves a point I made in the other thread. Microsoft's move with the alternate server pipeline will not he...
UT3 will be the first console game to allow mods. And even then, they will be made on PC. PS3 owners simply have the freedom to download them.... and they don't have to worry about devs having to go through any special channels in order to distribute the mods either.
If a gamer makes a mod available, ps3'ers will be able to grab the mod through their browser and bypass psn completely. Kind of like how LBP will have a network specifically for gamers to share content and won't h...
Well, it means that there is an avenue for users to distribute content through Live... it's still not as straigtforward as the method PS3 users will be able to take advantage of...
And Microsoft still has not come straight out and say that they will allow user created mods... BUT this does sound hopeful. In the end, I think Microsoft is going to cave in to give Epic what they want anyway... they know their games sell. But I have a feeling that 360 owners will be paying for mod...
Because with the exception of UT3 and RB6, this multiplayer game seems to be more engagin than all of the games that you named AND it is a totally seperate experience... versus being an afterthought to a single player game. After playing Warhawk... I can see that it really makes a difference to focus entirely on one element of a game.
Now if the game is mediocre, than gamers will let the devs know. But all indications show that they are already making sure this game has the MGS...
It was already announced as a PS3 exclusive at the MGS 20th anniversary party. No release date has been given though.
No matter how big of fanboys some of these guys are... Ubisoft's statement was obvious BS. From the launch of the PS3, Resistance already showcased that the system is capable of very intellegent AI, period.
Neither is Heavenly Sword's AI crap... the enemies will definitely try to exploit holes in your defense/offense. And they work/attack independently of each other... with the number of enemies on screen at one time, this is a pretty impressive feat from a development standpo...
Actually you're incorrect. It's a fact that Lair has received two 9's so far. It has also received a 7.5 and a 6. Point is, you're just a fanboy that's jealous of the games you don't get to play... get over it.
A 10/10 is probably very generous... having played the demo, a 9/10 does seem fully possible though.
WOW. Those are some pretty interesting stats. Dissapointing really, considering how great of a title CaC was! The game's only like $10 ppl... anyone with online would enjoy this title, go show some love so I can spank you online!
