From what he described he seemed.... um... disappointed.

Only the ball kicking game, and then some camera play :/

"Voice recog?" - "oh we have, it's just not set up". "Oh ok and this is a bit clunky?" - "oh we have better stuff but we didn't bring that here..."

Then, he goes on to describe a game he'd like to see which sounds utterly tedious much like Wii Sports boxing without the other games to play.

And this is PS3 news because....?

Oh yeah, flamebait - that's it.

And like most dramas - there's really no drama at all, it's just a way of getting free publicity.

Really Lost Planet 1 was average at best, if the demo of LP2 is anything to go by this isn't a game to set the world on fire either.

Stir up a bit of controversy though and maybe the game will stick in people's minds.

I think the best outcome would be for Bungie to make some more games for Mac. With Apple's popularity, Bungie could really raise the profile of Mac gaming or perhaps even assist Apple with the mythical Apple console.

I doubt that though - they'll potentially look at a Myth game or possibly try and get back into the Oni stuff.

I just hope they can pull off something worthwhile and not just create a multiplat Halo rip off (Fail-O anyone?) or disappear up their own rect...

This seems to be a set of single core fixes... Shame there's not a fix for the missing RPG mode - I can only get this to run in TPS mode!

Still if they're patching for old PC specs, I guess the 360 might get some love next.

It's a shame that with all ground breaking stuff, a lot of people won't get it (or prefer not to "get it")....

Well at least Quantic can sleep easily knowing they created something special here and it wasn't all about garbbing dollars from the vacuous with yet another shooter...

Well this is more or less a confirmation of MS3 so let's start the speculating!

We've had North American and Pacific Island style settings and on PSP an Arctic/Antarctic theme....

So what next? I think deserty/African theme is the obvious next step - but then again maybe that is too obvious!

What about a European village/mountains theme, or for something completely different a nautical theme with skidoos and speed boats down in Florida...

Who knows, maybe he prefers teh salez over graphics or gameplay :)

Anyway, yeah it has sub optimal graphics, somewhat clunky controls and occasionally irritating camera control, text rather than voice, and probably a whole nuch of other problems not yet known to us..... but, it's still fun!

Weird huh. I'm still keeping it pre-ordered - although I've played the demo so much I'll probably be bored after a day lol.

Seems strange since about 6 months ago, this site was one of the biggest 360 cheer leaders around. Maybe he got a PS3 for Christmas :)

Anyways, the reality is that released shots of games whether it be Alpha, Beta, Gold, Demo blah blah, rarely change in any significant way for release. The simple reason is that it takes a long time to get the artefacts ready - the textures, the light sources, the animations etc etc. If you are going to make a significant order of magnitude graphi...

May be not there - after all there's not really an equivalent in Western culture now so how would Sega translate a hostess club?

I notice that the door man at the Asia club makes some lewd comment about watching dancers - I guess that's what the West gets...

Yeah that was the disappointing thing for me too - they dropped the RPG elements so much, this is more akin to a TPS - and in the TPS genre there's lots of competition and much of it is better as a TPS than this :/

Don't see why it was necessary to do that though - Bioware are well known for their RPGs and Dragon Age showed they've still got the "touch", but this was a missed opportunity to elevate the ME series. In fact I get the feeling that Bioware see Dragon Age as ...

Time to update the gamer dictionary - this looks like it fits the description "Tunnel Shooter" down to a 'T'.

Lighting doesn't look great, not many enemies on screen and considering they're rendering in game terms, a tube with a radius of about 3 metres most of the time, I think the graphics could be better.

Small wonder they had RAM to spare.....

What would be cooler is a proper STALKER incarnation with open gameplay. This seems like STALKER s...

I've double checked that list and, unless my eyes deceive me there's no FPS there!!!

Get me an FPS now!

Let's hope SC finally sees a release - after all this time, it's best just to get it out now - even if it's poor at least the dev team can move on. Same goes for AW I guess.

Interesting? Well that's a term I wouldn't have used.

After Halo on xbox 1 I thought Bungie just ran out of budget or ideas and stuck in a lead character who was cliched and, well bland - I didn't know (or think) there would be more Halo games to follow at that point. It seemed like they wanted to use a Marine from the Aliens film, but didn't want to find a face or personality so just stuck a helmet on it and left the character silent.

I don't really see how 2.5 gam...

Well I guess you can play some exclusives on your 360 in March since the PS3 doesn't seem to have anything you like....

Hmmm, now let's look at what 360 exclusives are releasing in March and find one you like....

Here's my prediction

Reach will sell exactly the same number of copies on PS3, as KZ2 (or 3 for that matter) will sell on 360.

Release them the same day if you like, won't change my prediction ;)

I don't think Sony would care about either Reach or CoD. Reach isn't a PS3 game anyway so it is irrelevant, and this years CoD (if there is indeed one) is presumably something by Treyarch again... or a DLC... Either way, not as big as an IW made CoD.

KZ3 as a PS3 exclusive would easily hold it's own agqinst those two - the only problem might be that the PS3 has too many good exclusives and so the sales are spread out and each game doesn't sell as well as it might. Possibilities f...

MLB is a great game for anyone with even a passing interest in Baseball. It seems to be a somewhat under appreciated game in the PS3 exclusive list though - always seems to be missed off and it deserves much more acclaim.

As for the rest - well I think the title says it all "Top 5 exclusives for Spring" - most consoles would be happy with 5 exclusives for the whole year that score decently, PS3 has a continual flow of great games available on one and only one platform. ...

While it's got clunky controls, a somewhat annoying camera during fights scenes and as pointed out some graphics problems, it's still an incredibly fun game to play.

I played the JP demo for ages despite not really understanding any of it and now I've done the same with the English language version.

Seems strange that a game with so many problems is still more fun than many more polished releases.

It is a shame it takes so long to translate though - espe...
