sheez, why cant people understand that it's a controller. Where is it written that the X-mote and Play-mote means you have to make kiddie games.
Nowhere that's where.
Developers/Publishers will decide what sort of games will be made using the HW(including the controller) available to max profits.
Epic, Infinity Ward, R*, GG, etc aren't going to all of a sudden make kiddie games because Sony and MS give them a new CONTROLLER. Frak, UT3, MW1 & 2, KZ2...
You have only to look at RE4 on the Wii to see the potential.
If perfected, Sony's play-mote could be as fast as a mouse for aiming/looking in shooters. Plus you get the rumble as well. enough said.
This is obviously the future for controllers.
Also, would be awesome if MAG uses the new controller as well as patches released to use it with UT3, BF:BC, R2, Killzone 2,
Nothing happened after two hours of playing titanium.
Just the same.
That has a secondary function of motion control - a gimmick. But it's still essentially the run of the mill Dual Shock.
It can't be used in games as the wii'mote/nunchucks combo.
If Sony and MS bring their own versions of the wii-mote then how wrong you are.
They know a little bit more than we do about the game industry and have invested millions.
so watch this space.
The developers didn't want sparsely populated large battlefields, which would be required for large/fast vehicles(especially planes).
apparently, the vehicles are mainly for spawning(carrier, helicopter, plane).
from the mojor game sites like Joystiq, Eurogamer, Gamespot, IGN etc.
Thumbs up all round except Gamespot is dragging their heals.
Gameplay is sorted for lonewolves and teamplayers and limited usable vehicles.
Although the graphics aren't spectacular, this game will be a winner and will likely be one of the best shooters out there.
dammit. The PS3 is now becoming known as the shooter's console. bring on Heavy Rain, Infamous, UC2, FF, GT5, Go...
@deep.
if it's just player position and what they are doing then that shouldnt be much info to transfer online.....
....but....
Lag still occurs even for those who have reasonable bandwidths. Then you add in the fact that another 200+ pieces of player information has to be transmitted as well. I don't know how it all works. Just been thinking.
Anyway, all the big game sights who have played agreed that the graphics are not Killzone 2 level...
But will have alot of competition from Arma2 and OFP2 - admittedly with less numbers online.
But the game will need a large variety of vehicles like it's competition has.
Would have been neat had they started developing MAG with the Warhawk engine and improved upon that. Vehicles and large maps guaranteed.
I have a suspicion there wont be any usable aircraft.

They better be as I'm ...
That sums up how ND delivered MP.
news on Bots would complete the fantastic news.
competitive & coop.
ND listened and appears to have delivered. MP looks awesome. Hope Santa Monica Studio is watching.
now all UC2 needs is a horde mode, a sprint function and every one to buff up then the Ps3 will finally have gears.
Neat how the video starts off as usual SP then all of a sudden, wow, its a MP. well done ND. definite GOTY contender for sure.
MAG is leading with sheer numbers playing.
But with Arma2, OFP2 and BF:BC2 coming with their more authentic combat, more extensive destructible environments AND fully usable vehicles, competition is heating up.
I'm favouring ARma2(with less human players) at the moment due to its developer's experience with OFP and this type of game. i wanna rule the skies with in a F-35 or terrorise the battlefield in a Mi-24 or be in deadly battle against M1 Abrams in my T-90.
...on numbers playing, alone.
But if they can get the gameplay right and balance then it may have a small impact on the genre - not huge since it's a standard modern day shooter.
It could only be genre defining with features that differentiate it from the rest: limited Ammunition, Fuel; need to create and maintain ammunition & fuel production; realistic kills; mandatory respawn limit(eg no more than 3); 24/7 variable weather environment; need to refuel/rearm at ...
@solidjun5
no commonsense of inelligent reasoning.
you don't need to see the game if you are applying commonsense and intelligent reasoning.
before kz2 came out and any vids of gameplay, xfanboys were shouting on the rooftops that Kz2 will be bad because kz1 was. Puhhhhlease. A perfect example of NO COMMONSENSE OR INTELLIGENT REASONING - your typical xfanboy. They believed GG would not learn from their mistakes or do better.
I was stating...
@Incognegro
Sheez. I'm not going to write a 20 page essay on the whys and why nots. Just exercise some commonsense man and keep it simple.
But to appease your desire for more details: KZ1 was intended for the PC and GG had no experience with the Ps2 when they developed the game. Had they received help from other first party developers like they did for KZ2 then it is likely the game would have been better. If killzone1 had been made by IW or Epic or Naughty Dog, S...
^^^ why must I repeat my self.
Have you guys heard of fanbase? Cod4 has a large fanbase because it delivered what the FPS fan wanted.
Have you guys heard of track record? IW has consistently produced better games every time. Why do certain people believe that they will ignore what works and produce an inferior product.
@Incognegro As for KZ2 being not so solid. Please read my words next time. I did mention IW & Epic has years of experience and G...
Not in graphics though because developers of multiplats consistently keep the games the same for better sales on both consoles.
Like Epic, IW has years of experience with shooters and knows what works. They also consistently improve on previous works.
MW2 will be awesome.
Killzone 2, could easily be the best FPS by getting rid of the spawn flare, making rankings harder, adding vehilces and new weapons(flame thrower, lightning gun, knife, artillery suppo...
IW has years of experience with quality shooters - Cod, Cod2 & Cod4. Each new game better than the others. IW found the magical formula with CoD4 - just like Bungie found with Halo & Epic found with Gears - so now knows what work and will build upon it.
GG is a relative newer developer who were completely new to PS when they did KZ1. Now they have more experience, they made a better game with KZ2. They haven't found that magic factor yet but will likely do so with KZ...
Bungie, Epic or GG issuing a patch for the new controller for Halo 3, Gears2, UT3 & KZ2. Or IW, ND, Santa Monica Studios has the controller specks already and will have MW2, UC2 and GoW3 ready to go.
Win, win for the future of controllers.
