I think Mass Effect 2 seems awesome
Bf:BC2 and Army of 2 might be the most improved sequels.
Batman AA 2 - not sure about this. A large part of what was good about the first one was simply that it came as a surprise, no one expected it to be that good
Bioshock 2 also might find it diffiuclt to beat the first one
GT5 might be really great, they have pedigree, spent a lot of time and money (4-5 times as much as Grid), will have to see how that turns out
As someone pointed out, Naughty dog has been around for longer than most other developers
Also, ND has thumped Valve this generation
UC1 beats HL episode 2.
And if you compare UC2 to L4D2, UC2 has far superior content, gameplay, characters and graphics
UC2 speaks loudly of ambition - creating a cinematic experience and memorable characters, adding a ton more content (coop is fabulous) ironing out the flaws from the previous games and making what was already good (grap...
Thats pure B-S, I started folowing game forums in 2007 and the amount of rubbish against the PS3 was incredible - cell is useless for gaming, PS3 games will always look inferior to 360, PS3 has no games, PS3 does not sell games.
Suddenly, when the tide is turned, we have people like you suddenly being so disgusted by fanboism. I myself never cared about this myself, and had all three last gen - but the blatant lying and slander against the PS3 ensured that I have no sympathy for...
Well, the same gaming media that scored L4D2 higher than Resistance 2 and at par with KZ2?
Uncharted 2 added much improved graphics, better story, co-op and multiplayer, improved gameplay
What does Forza 3 offer over Forza 2 or other games such as Grid? The same 8-car restriction, weak graphics, ageing damage model, etc
Forza might be a great game franchise and was needed to give Polyphony a wake-up call - its just that Forza 3 offers far less over Forza 2 in comparison to w...
in a very painful way
360 2010: Halo 5, Fable 3, Splinter cell, Alan Wake, Mass Effect 2, Crackdown 2, ninetynine nights 2, KuF2
PS3 2010: GT5, GoW3, Heavy Rain, Last Guardian, White Knight, MAG, Modnations, Insomniac game
Pretty even I would think
360 2011: Gears 3, PGR5, Too Human 2
PS3 2011: Killzone 3, FF versus 13, FF14, Agent, Resistance 3, Motorstorm 3, Infamous 2, Uncharted 3, next games from LBP studio, London studio and David Jaffe studio, Agency, possibly White knight 2 / ...
Funnily enough, PS3's 2007 line-up was better than 360's 2009 one.
PS3 2007: Uncharted, Ratchet and Clank, Heavenly sword, Motorstorm
360 2009: ODST, Forza 3, L4D2 (also on PC), GTA DLC
No contest, Uncharted 1 and Ratchet on their own beatthe whole 360 lineup this year
I gave you a bubble - because more people need to read delusional rants such as yours just to get a laugh. Keep it coming!
Check out Dead Space, Condemned 2
Why would you need more than 2 years anyway for a 6-hour campaign and the same gameplay/multiplayer with moderately improved graphics?
The funny thing is - the difference in terms of performance or visual quality between Bayonetta 360 and PS3 is far lesser than the massive gap between, say, Killzone 2 or UC2 on one hand and 360 exclusives such as ODST or L4D2
360 multiplats > PS3 multiplats sometimes
PS3 multiplats > 350 multiplats occasionally
PS3 exclusives >>> 360 excluives always!
Give it a chance again - havent played it at all but some of the ideas seem good, at least a bit diferent from the umpteenth CoD or halo game
And do you have any link for S4, that would be fantastic.
Mass Effect sold about 2 million on the 360, quite likely barely enough to recoup even half of their investment (though PC sales would have helped), less than what FF13 has sold in Japan alone in 1 week - though that may be shipped rather than sold, still impressive. Also less than what LBP sold on the PS3 on a smaller install base, with 1/10th the development cost. Mass Effect, Lost Odyssey (< 1 million), Too Human (< 1 million0 and Forza 3 (about /10th of a GT game sales) are probably...
Killzone 2 mulitplayer spoiled other online games for me. Its partly because I am not good at shooting games, but KZ2 has such a strong emphasis on tactics and teamplay that I just cant get the point of games like Modern Warfare 2 any more, where all that matters is how quickly you can pull your trigger. After the weight of KZ2's gunplay, shooting on MW2 feels like you are using a water hose, press L1 and R1 and spray people.
Bottomline: you dont pay $50 for XBL is better, you pay that because you have no choice. Imagine, if they made multiplayer free on XBL (say as "poor" as PSN is claimed to be) and asked you $50 for cross-game chat, a moderately better friends list and all the stuff that supposedly makes XBL "better". How many would pay for that?
For the same reason, as long as online gaming is free, very few would pay for the premium service on PSN. Paying $300 ovr 6 years for ...
I think Guido (1.6) has nailed it. KZ2 is an embarrassment for the MS-fed side of the media
How many of us remember how it was before KZ2? “PS3 has inadequate RAM”, “Cell is useless for gaming”, “Blu-ray will make loading slow” etc etc.
Then, when KZ2 came out with that in-game trailer, and it turned out that it stomps on Gears and make 640p Halo3 look like a PS2 game,
“graphics don’t matter – its so generic”
Then it turns out its got a brilliantly implemented cover sy...
Or better still, something with both a fabulous single player AND a fabulous mulitplayer - KZ2 and UC2
What do you think of KZ2 multiplayer?
Compare UC2 /KZ2 to L4D2 / ODST.
The PS3 has simply destroyed the 360 - simply because the 360 uses last-gen tech. Reach is going to come out in the 360's 5th year, and is barely able to compete with KZ2, a 3rd year PS3 game.
And again, it will fall far behind PS3 4th year games such as Heavy Rain, GT5, KZ3, Resistance 3, GT5
I am not sure Syphon Filter is under development, or if it will come out soon
But we should see SOCOM 4 and Motorstorm 3 in 2011 as well.
2011 should rock because 3 massive franchises, which for me were the best games of 2009, are going to come back: Uncharted, inFamous and Killzone.
I also wish Insomniac well with Resistance 3, they are one of the most hardworking developers around and dont get enough credit (I still get worked up whenver I see L4D2's scores v...
