Tentative purchases for me for 2009 -
Batman - Arkham Asylum
Prototype
Infamous
Heavy Rain (if it makes it)
MW2
Bayonetta
Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2
Uncharted 2
Bioshock 2
Assassin's Creed 2
And if it makes it, WKC.
GoW3 will be March, and I'm fine with that. Busy year already + more time to polish = win for gamers. My wallet weeps.
Party system.
The only other thing I could ask for is the following -
Make a perimeter around the spawn point and the objective point where spawn grenades are ineffective. Barring that, allow players to shoot and destroy them.
Beef up the air drone slightly to match the changes made to the turrets.
Yup. It's unfortunate that instead of RENTING GAMES, people rush to Gamestop, buy a title, play it for a week, return it for pure crap store credit (what, 50% or LESS?) and then buy something else. God, I can't stand it. Please people, bend over backwards a little more, I don't think your wallets are being butt farked enough.
Funny part is, even if what they announce is mediocre or expected (second GTA DLC) it will be hyped and marketed to no end. Then the online pissing matches begin... sigh. Oh well,as long as gamers have something to play this year, it should be a great E3 for all.
Crab... Pissing matches aside, I find the difference being... a title isn't really exclusive if you can get it somewhere else. It doesn't matter who is getting my money in the end, as I will support a great game. The difference is, if I don't need to buy X hardware to play Y game, why would I?
It was never, for me, about "not giving MS" my money. It's that I don't find investing in a 360 a necessity for myself, as my PC and PS3 cover most of the games.
Pers...
Cry. Moar. Plex.
I love BD, just drive those disc prices down a bit more and get me my Watchmen DC, LotR EE, and Star Wars sets!
Wow, glad to see action games thriving... now where is Darksiders (Darkriders?). Is that set to release this year alongside Bayonetta and NGS2?
I prefer the PS3, but better is entirely subjective based on a gamer's needs, preferences, and wants. There is no objective way to say any console is "better."
Still, this should be a funny thread.
That's because its a media industry based on hype and BS, instead of actual gaming. Only a scant few sites actually do anything game related, such as deconstructions and post mortems. It's disappointing to say the least man.
Unconfirmed PC port of GT = Sony loses exclusives?
Superior editions of NG2, Tales of, Bioshock, Mass Effect, and Gears hit PC or PS3... and they are still Xbox 360 exclusive?
LOL. I love the hypocrisy of idiots. Not even going to waste my time on THAT "argument."
N4G, thanks for continuing to prove your submissions standards are sh1t.
It's passable. It's never going to be as crisp as pure HD. If you can nab a PS2 cheap, I'd almost suggest doing that. Unless shelf space is an issue.
I disagree. I have a launch 60gb, and I love it. I've been tearing through the Ratchet series this month, and playing a ton of old titles. This gen overall feels so shallow content wise when compared to last gen, so I'm on a nostalgia kick.
My thing is, I want BC to be improved as a general rule of thumb. I want TRUE upscaling, texture filtering, AA, etc. I want my PS2 games to look like they were run through a PC emulator. When BC can get to that point, well, it will be a golden...
I'd say at least wait until E3, its early June this year, see what the pricing situation is. Unless of course there are titles out NOW that you MUST have.
1, 2 and 3 are valid points. We all know 1 is coming. I'd love to see the US and Euro PS1 titles match the Japanese offerings (they have Xenogears for godsake!).
But third party support? Yeah, this isn't 2007 anymore children.
Been to the Gamefaqs Tales of Board? The current trend is to spam spoilers to ruin the game for people awaiting the port.
HAHAHAHAHHA.
It wasn't news when huge profile titles that were multiplatform and had fans on both consoles, such as GTA or Fallout 3, received exclusive content on one system. You know, where up to 50% of the fanbase was SNUBBED because of the console they chose to own. That's dandy eh? But man, a freaking "Tales of" game gets this treatment, and ZOMG FANBOY RAGE!?
Crying butthurt fanboys, I love it. Whine more.
Next, bring back 8 Days as a mix between Uncharted/Gears and GTA. :-D
Co-Op would be nice. But what I really would like is some more light changes to MP. Make the air drone more powerful, and be able to blow up/shoot/destroy spawn grenades.
Can't wait to see what the announcement is though.
Oh man, I forgot about RCF2, Bionic Commando, Dark Void, Brutal Legend, Fat Princess... please bring on Tales of and Yakuza 3 too!
