The Xbox and PS2 were never theoretically maxed out either. Although the PS3 has more headroom than the 360 neither console will be maxed out this gen too.
Yeah not every dev was given the funding they were along with full sony support and almost 4 years of dev time
When Uncharted released, most reviews clearly stated it was the graphics king for consoles, same with MGS4. I see them saying the exact same thing for KZ2 because hands down it will be the best looking console game to date. Also this is just what GamesRadar thinks, I don't think sites will deduct points because of the campaign, if anything it'll be because it doesn't bring enough "new" things to the table which those aforementioned titles didn't bring either, they were evolutionary ...
just because a system sells the most doesn't make it the "year of the wii". You need to get the sales and software and in 2008 the software for the wii was mediocre and 2009 doesn't look much better
The repeating objectives look like they could be a downer but hopefully things change later on considering it was only the first 5 levels.
They've played a preview code, hence why they have no review yet.
the same "256mb gpu ram" that will have Killzone 2 and embarrass anything currently on the 360 and it's "superior" ram
2007= best games 360, most sales Wii
2008= best games PS3, most sales Wii
It's all subjective! Last gen PS2 won both categories almost every year so there's no more who "won" this year anymore.
Splintercell Conviction can be added to your list, Sony delivers, it maybe late but they deliver. Home is a work in progress but at least it's here, MGS4 and LBP were everything that Sony promised. Killzone 2 looks fantastic and should be another promise Sony delivers on, etc etc. Sony has stumbled a lot in this gen but they are getting their act together
Agreed, I hate games that just show a teaser trailer of CGI or a cutscene with no gameplay, this isn't the movies!
Exactly! There's no point in announcing something so early only to have it 3 years later when people may have gotten tired of waiting.
Most PS3 exclusives are 1st/2nd party which means either Sony owns the studio or has a major influence in it, so it would be impossible for MS to "steal" it.
Oh you mean the flops MGS4, LBP getting numerous GOTY awards?
I think Sony has been very forthcoming about their exclusives, the games that are "secret" are probably so early in development that stating anything about it would be misleading.
Insomniac isn't in Hollywood, so this could be a hint towards L.A. Noire.
That depends on what Microsoft will be releasing in 2009 and beyond and whether it will be considered "quality." We already know what PS3 is bringing in terms of exclusives this year and beyond and it's quite impressive. if Insomniac can release quality PS3 titles every year so can their other first party devs.
Games without multi-player these days don't sell well at all, some exceptions of course Bioshock, Fallout 3(Fallout is longer than games with some multi-players). Prince of Persia, Dead Space didn't sell well at all despite getting great reviews.
Nintendo is mainly about gaming, Sony has some kind of market in many different areas of electronics and entertainment, therefore it's logical for one of them to fail or not do well because of the economy but yes they have made some bad decisions, they priced the PS3 too high but when they priced it they didn't foresee this economic downturn as most of the wall st "experts" couldn't see it coming. It's been devastating for most companies, Nintendo is just lucky they're mainly in the...
Since when do sales = good game? How exactly did those games "fail"? Even in sales LBP has crossed 1.5 mln and Resistance is over 1. So where did it fail? Everyone knows the reason PS3's aren't selling is because of the high price.
Crysis/Crysis warhead? That's already beyond this generation of consoles.
