This guy is pretty much dead on on the top 5 with me, He's right about killzone2 definitely.
Hype? The next Sony game to get ungodly hype will be the next Team ICO game. God of War won't get as much as Killzone 2 got.
I really believe the PS3's hardware choices were made specifically for open world type games, because you need lots of disc space for all the content (these games can be huge - we know what the GTA producer said about no where else to go with maxing out dvd9 on GTA4), HDD standard helps tremendously with streaming; and finally - enormous amounts of processing are required for all the different objects within the world (you'd want there to be many, rather than something barren like fallout3). ...
Haze was first developed as multiplatform later made a PS3 exclusive to capitalize on hype, cause Ubisoft knew it wasn't very good, and an average game multiplatform would simply be forgotten and never bought.
It's a great game, but this guy is making it out to be a life changing experience - I think if you set your expectations as high as he put them you'll likely be disappointed. I'm looking forward to this game friday for sure though.
Doing the EXACT same thing lol. I actually was getting kind of pissed because MS was trying auto-renew my account with my cancelled credit card then try to force me to pay. Luckily they backed down after like 10 emails telling me i needed to update my credit info.
"The more profit the 360 makes the more they can invest in giving their user base a better experience. If paying for XBL helped MS fund new games then I'm happy."
Just because they can doesn't mean they will. Microsoft is free to do as they please with Your money, and shutting down studios left and right doesn't appear to be in the mindset of making new exclusive games.
This is in the same mindset of the republican party and George W. Bush. We already t...
Hopefully they've fixed the screen tearing - pretty sure they have, that's the only thing that really bothered me about the first games' beautiful graphics.
I wasn't aware ratchet was sony's ip so yea it was a stupid comment; however you can't say the chances are zero, because they are considered 2nd party but in reality are 3rd party, and not completely committed to developing for Sony, but they would have to find another publisher if they did. They did just open up another studio on the East coast, so we really don't know whats going on with that.
Hate to say it, but It's very possible Insomniac will opt out of PS exclusivity and go multi-plat soon. However after seeing banjo's sales on 360 - they may decide to keep Ratchet PS3 exclusive (their next rumored game), and Sony owns the Resistance IP, so that's not going anywhere.
I believe Cambridge made Primal, and GhostHunter on PS2; I liked both games- but don't think they sold very well. I've been wondering where the heck they've been this gen, possibly making that untitled game behind closed doors that the BBC was raving about, maybe helping with home - who knows.
Well, they want to test the servers; well odds are the servers will be slammed like no tomorrow when this game comes out. It sounds to me like they're hoping to find an excuse to give it a bad score.
This news is a joke, maybe they're hiring someone for the next game in development?? I know pre-production usually starts on a next title while the other game is being finished. From what i read these jobs seem to be more in-line with pre production. God of war 3 is probably still on track to make 2009, it could slip sure; but this news tells us nothing of the sort.
Climax made the PSP version origins i believe. I thought it was alright, just didn't do anything really new. They did a lot better on the series than double helix did on homecoming.
Well it sucks you can't play your own music there, but i don't see why they can't have a slew of already licensed songs to choose from, like the ones in the main area.
It's probably Lost Planet 2, they've already been rumored to be making it, and apparently have movie rights out to WB. They're making that game, but well see if its the game they announce. If they sold movie rights, they wouldn't just stop the franchise. It's possible Capcom sold exclusivity to Microsoft considering the POS ps3 version didn't sell much. And look at MS's empty 09 lineup, they need something and MS will buy considering they don't make games themselves very often.
I personally want WKC a lot more it's not just cause of what console it's on, It has to do with the setup of the game, WKC is somewhat of a MMO hybrid, its a different game than Star Ocean. Considering I played the last Star ocean on PS2, thought it was ok, but not good enough to Finnish, I'm looking forward to WKC more - and I have a 1080p capable tv as well.
Funny I'm pretty sure Sony didn't buy this tech cause they've already got something PSeye related that can do the same thing back behind close doors.
This thing is basically a ripoff of PSeye, you can even see the reflection of yourself on the screen the same way the PSeye works.
Sony fans don't like it because we know for a fact the games were bought by microsoft to come exclusive to 360. It was all about them taking easy money over their fan's best interests - we know it and we're not happy. And games going multiplat is only going to lessen the quality of the games we get considering they have to be played on DVD.
Judging by the quality of what they've done on the 360 though they're not looking like they're doing so hot with their current plan.
It's funny how he goes on about how this engine is somehow going to save DVD disk format. What the heck does the engine have to do with disk space, if anything and it turns out to be one heck of an engine; It's going to take disk space to store high res textures, or else you'll have a very short/repetetive-landscape game. They have been working on the PS3 for a very long time it's been stated in various articles, considering cry engine 2 is very hard drive/processor heavy i think PS3 might ...
