I don't really think it was DVD9 issue. It was more like they wanted to take the series towards a different direction. The story I felt was better than previously GTA games but I still think it was no way 10/10. For me it was 8.5/10. The game was good but it wasn't really that much fun. The approach they took with the game was simply not right in my opinion. This game is all about the freedom to cause mayhem & this game stops you from causing that.
About character customization? Was...
I still have my doubts over Alan Awake being released this year nor will God of War 3. I am guessing God of War 3 will come out around Feb/Mar 2010. No idea what so ever about Alan Awake. Does anyone know whatever happened to Splinters Cell Conviction?
Apart from that I am pretty sure both Sony and Microsoft haven't announced there full 2009 lineup. I am waiting for GDC09 to see whats coming:P
A better save system, and an open world zombie game :D
My most anticipated list:
01). Killzone 2
02). Heavy Rain
03). Uncharted 2
04). BioShock 2
05). MassEffect 2
06). Resident Evil 5
07). Prototype
08). Infamous
09). Alan Awake
10). COD 6
I am pretty sure God of War 3 & Final Fantasy XIII(outside japan) won't be coming out this year. 2009 will easily triumph 2008.
Make GTA5 like GTA San Andreas or GTA Vice City, those were really fun to play. GTA4 was alright there wasn't much to do in it compare to previous GTA games. The visuals were great but it wasn't as fun to play & please drop that cousin crap.
Oh come on? What the hell? People would have bought the collector's edition hands down. :| What the hell is Sony doing? o_0
Aaahhh, more Killzone 2 news :P I remember the time when we all used to beg GG to release a screenshot or two :(
But more news is good news. Sony should start advertising now :D
It would be awesome if they release a separate COOP campaign like R2, imagine 16 player COOP with multiplayer visuals :| My eyes are burning at the thought:P
Same old same old. Expect for a few seconds of new CGI footage. I don't know when they are going to release some solid new info regarding FF-XIII.
I wasn't into gaming news before this gen. But were SE always like that?
Naa I think they should work on a brand new franchise using Killzone 2's engine or even Killzone 3 will be awesome. Let Ready At Dawn or the developers that are making R2 retribution make Killzone Liberation 2.
I was kind of disappointed with the lack of 3D trophy because that was suppose to be the huge pitching point of Home. Apart from that Home is alright, its a bit empty right now, it will be fine after a year or so, when they add more stuff. One thing Sony needs to do, is have the same god damn content on all 3 regions. It annoys me the most when we still don't have Home spaces for Uncharted, Far Cry 2 etc. Plus they need to do something about the long wait for bowling or any other activities. ...
I own both consoles & I have obviously played my 360 more then my PS3. I have like 35 xbox 360 games compared to 27 PS3 games. You can't really judge a consoles processing power based on multiplatform titles, because ofcourse one or the other needs to be cut according to the need. In my opinion the MGS4 is the best looking game on any console. I still don't understand how people can say Gears of War 2 looks better. I have played it twice. The graphics are the best on 360 but the character...
I had a couple of complains with this game apart from it not have the feel of the original game, which was absolutely great in my opinion.
The game just needed time, it needed around 2-3 months of polish, which it didn't get. I think I understand the point of view of the writer. The problem with R2's graphics is that everything is flat textured, there is no drab environments, everything is fixed geometry. It works well for a game like Ratchet but for a shooter the art style was a big le...
Yeah i agree, i was somewhat disappointed too. The gameplay was the star, the story was serviceable. If it wasn't the hype the game would have been great, but the hype just ruined the game for me.
Up until now only one game has delivered on the hype for me & that was MGS4, and mind u i had insane amount of hype for that game.
Killzone 2 is next in line because of hype, lets see what happens:|

Mate, as I said, I don't have a problem with DOM shooting with his wife. My issue is with the vague handling of the whole scenario. Its not a question about more or less information. Its the question is how well you are using that amount of information you have. Gears of War 2 pacing was perfect, they just didn't handled the story properly. The whole scene for me and my friends who played it was vague. I know what you are talking about & they left so many loose ends because th...
Yeah I agree with you on Halo 2's story part. It wasn't bad at all & it all made sense it just happened so unexpectedly that BOOM "Finish the fight" & everyone was like o_0 but thats the whole point of a cliff hanger ending. God of War 2 had one but they way it was handled was excellent.
Halo 3 story wasn't really that bad in my opinion. My only complain with the game was with overblown hype and underwhelming graphics. The gameplay and enemy AI were perfect.

I agree with you the character development part, Marcus fenix is one of the most badass character in videogames. But the logic of not having enough narrative so that player can immerse is flawed. The statement "wow, I would never do this,", well tell you what i won't do, I wouldn't shoot my wife. The first thing I would do is I will grab her and take her back the way I came from, so she can get some medical attention. I wouldn't put a bullet in my wife's head (no matter how much i ...
Gears 2 gameplay was fun as hell, the story was really bad, what made it worse for me was the way they hyped it. Remember in an interview when they claimed that devs who read the story were crying at end. 0_0
I mean srsly?
What gears 2 had was a much more refined gameplay of Gears 1. Which is not a bad thing.
Apart from that the way they increased the length of the game was pretty annoying as well. Do everything thrice :| another annoyance I had was with boss battles, R2 had...
"You have to shoot bad guys. Turrets help. A building catches fire and crumbles. You employ a rocket launcher to blow open a door."
What the hell? Every other game does the same thing, Gears 2, Halo 3, and Call of Duty 4 did the same but thats not the problem in those games, but when it comes to Killzone 2, it needs to be revolutionary. People praise Call of Duty 4 to death, heck it didn't even had variety in its enemies o_o, with 6 hours of campaign but hey its not an issue w...
I doubt GT5 is coming out in 2009. If it does then I will be one happy gamer. But I still don't think so.
