Well the Italians know that the firmware update is released on Friday. If they complain about no BC for 2 days... than they are just whiners.
I was hoping this was something about Lair :P
Wow, I didn't know they could do that. Though I'm not sure I agree about taking away Casino Royale. It was not the customers fault that the Italian retailers decided to sell them early.
Another step in the right direction for Sony.
Ok, I've been reading so much news about this game, I must finally ask: what is a NG game like? I've never played one, and this game sounds like it has a lot of ptential.
Most RPG's I play I put in around 100-150 hours. You know the developers have a great game on their hands when the players can stay immersed and interested for that long.
PS3 owners will be playing this game for the first time. Along with Knights of the Nine, they can already expect 100+ hours of gameplay. Is that not enough for now? It's a great move by Bethesda to withhold the PS3 version until gamers get accustomed to this game, and build their characters.
K this wasn't supposed to be a reply. Silly site tricked me :P
Honestly, how many people will buy 3 or 4 or 5 games at launch anyways? I know I personally buy one game at a time, MAYBE two if they're on sale. As long as their are a few great titles available that appeal to a broad range of gamers, most people will be very satisfied.
Someone mentioned it up there, but this statement:
"And with the question of downloadable content on PS3 still unanswered, this version is, at least in some small ways, inferior."
has been disproven by Bethesda themselves, as they have adamantly said they want content to be the same across all three playforms. So this point is based on nothing.
It is clear that he is not a PS3 fan ("But the version sitting on store shelves right now...
All 3 of the games you mentioned are on the list. Both GoW's should play with no noticeable issues, and FFXII will have "minor" ones, whatever that means.
I really don't think that PS losing its exclusives is because of the difficulty to program for it. Like Harrison has said, the installed base is small right now, and there is not enough profit to be had for these huge-budget games.
That does not mean the game could not be built for the PS3 though, and play the exact same way.
I'm not sure if you meant it that way or not. It just sounded like you were implying that it is too 'high-tech' for the PS3.
I just went through the list, and as far as I can tell, there are no Ratchet and Clank games that will work. Brutal. Now I don't want to wait for this version to come to North America.
And no FF VII either? Bahhhh kill me Sony.
Of the three games Final Fantasy is the only one I really care about... but if the 360 got it exclusively sometime down the road I'd probably pick one up. If it goes multiplatform, I'll stick with the PS3 version.
I don't think that would happen.
And as far as I know, your PS3 with the EE and graphic synthesizer plays almost every single PS2 game.
PS3 lost another exclusive? When was this game ever announced for the system? This is probably just another example of third-party developers having to take their games multiplatform.
In a recent interview, maybe it was Phil Harrison, I don't know, but they talked about how this generation it will be the first- and second-party titles that are the system sellers, and most third-party titles will be available multi-platform. To their credit, Sony still has a great first- and second-party line-up.
Though this is obviously a big blow to the pride of many PS3 owners (whether they deny it or not :P), like Phil Harrison said about GTA4, the PS3 simply does not have the installed base right now to support huge games like this.
But realistically, this should be good news for everyone. This game will be great, and now we all have a shot at enjoying it.
I'm skeptical, but if what you said was true about HD-DVD in Europe, I expect that number to fall drastically when a million BD players hit later this week.
I think BD is one of their biggest selling points. As far as I know, typically speaking, technology-hardy gamers are also people who love to watch movies. And with the PS3's game quality matching that of the 360, the added benefit of one of the best BD players on the market - for a fraction of the standalone cost - is a H...
Ahh the Battlefront games are some of Star Wars games at their best (until Force Unleashed perhaps). Can't wait for this to be announced for PS3.
