I'm sort of interested in the DBZ game but all eyes are shifted on MGS.

Gunegune @ Jun 8th 2008 1:31PM

My eyes are shifted on two things. MGS4 (June 12) and the exclusive gameplay premiere of Resistance 2 on GameTrailers TV (June 13).

Emophia @ Jun 8th 2008 10:39AM

Not much hype...

Skunk Ape @ Jun 8th 2008 10:48AM

Amazing that anyone has the balls to release anything other than MGS this week. Seems like digging your own grave to me.

Zack @ Jun 8th 2008 11:00AM

Not really, considering the fact that DBZ Burst Limit and Nascar 09 are both multiplatform (and have both sold consistently well), while MGS4 is only out on the PS3. =)

Much like how Nintendo chose to release MK Wii same week as GTAIV??? and got their asses handed to them?

Zack @ Jun 8th 2008 6:29PM

Uh... you just ignored what I said, right? MK -Wii- ? Only first-party titles from Nintendo have sold well on their console. DBZ Burst Limit is almost guaranteed to sell very well, and with Nascar 09, it will definitely sell at least hundreds of thousands of copies. DBZ is on the top of its game, while MK is definitely irrelevant nowadays compared to other fighters. I have no doubts about that, considering both are getting plenty of PR (while MK Wii got barely any).

StevenRafael @ Jun 8th 2008 7:24PM

I don't like your attitude Zack.

I don't like it one bit.

Didier Ortiz @ Jun 8th 2008 7:51PM

mk wii is a racing game not a fighter and dbz will get pwned by mgs4

ch0rx @ Jun 8th 2008 9:06PM

@frankym

wow... you sure know alot about how better graphics.

more space doesn't mean better visuals.

fernando @ Jun 8th 2008 10:59AM

i thought GTA4 was this years biggest PS3 release?

Skunk Ape @ Jun 8th 2008 11:02AM

I do believe biggest PS3 release implies exclusivity.

nosix @ Jun 8th 2008 11:33AM

don't see what's so great about gta4.

focacci @ Jun 8th 2008 11:37AM

That is what I thought too. I guess the biggest release of the year is whatever they want it to be.

frankym @ Jun 8th 2008 12:37PM

Agree with you guys 100% GTA4 was good, not great.

It would have been much better if it was a PS3 exclusive...were they could have packed superior graphics onto a dual layer Blu Ray

Whoppy @ Jun 8th 2008 11:39AM

Got mine pre-ordered :) First time I've ever done it in-store. Doubt they will sell out but I don't want to risk it.....

Xavier @ Jun 8th 2008 11:44AM

Don't know if anybody knows this yet, but at circuit city you get the prima strategy guide for MGS4 free with purchase of the game. Quite a deal to me.

Nathan-DTS @ Jun 8th 2008 11:47AM

Meh, i'll wait for the announcement of the re-release, I always do this and in MGS3 era it payed off. Subsistence, MGO and Metal Gear Original MSX games FTW!!!!!!! Am I right. Anyway who else will wait?

SlimTrip @ Jun 8th 2008 11:53AM

No.. thats just obsurd

CitizenGeek @ Jun 8th 2008 12:49PM

Nah, I really hate waiting for MGS games. Besides, MGS4's re-release is probably a year off ...

Michael K. @ Jun 8th 2008 12:18PM

I'm going crazy for this game, I have the Gunmetal LE PS3 preordered, I have the headset and the Collector's guide, and I'm going to NY for the Kojima signing. I won't have any money for other games, but who needs them.

Dahk @ Jun 8th 2008 2:16PM

In a word: EPIC.

Please take pictures of that gun-metal PS3 and post them =). I REALLY wanted one, but since I already have a PS3, buying that one might have been just a TAD overdoing it.

wocyob @ Jun 8th 2008 4:35PM

@Michael K....ill be in NYC too man.....save me a spot lol....im going to try to get there as fast as i can!!!! sucks thats my Dig cam just died on me...but the signing will do :P

Samiki @ Jun 8th 2008 12:27PM

Will pick up MGS4 used since everyone will be buying it and trading it in.That DBZ game looks awesome... prolly grab that used too in a month or so. :)

parkd @ Jun 9th 2008 9:29AM

Why do you assume everyone is going to trade it in...

CitizenGeek @ Jun 8th 2008 12:44PM

I don't even own a PS3, but I've engineered a plan so that I can play it on Thursday - I'm goin' to borrow my neighbour's PS3 (he's 10, so he doesn't have much interest in MGS4) and rent the game from Xtra Vision in town! I'll be playing on SD, without a Dualshock 3, but I know it'll still be fantastic!

StevenRafael @ Jun 8th 2008 7:45PM

No one cares.

Christian @ Jun 8th 2008 12:48PM

While I am looking forward to MGS, I am also picking up Civilization. Grabbed the US demo and I really like it, nice to have an alternative to the more typical console games.

glitched @ Jun 8th 2008 12:54PM

i thought civ rev was coming for the US this week to?

I really liked the demo as well.

JerJerBinks @ Jun 8th 2008 1:04PM

@Glitched

The US release was delayed to the first week of July.

binaryfiend @ Jun 8th 2008 5:31PM

I played the demo and had a blast. I know I'm going to spend plenty of hours playing the game. I'd like to see more PC style games brought to the PS3.

binaryfiend @ Jun 8th 2008 9:11PM

Did you get a chance to play the Battlefield: Bad Company demo? That looks really good too. Way better than I expected.

glitched @ Jun 9th 2008 12:30AM

Yes, i also played the battlefield bad company demo. I was pleasantly surprised by that one as well. I dont know what it is, its got what seems like solid gameplay and hectic COD like action, but thats not what i enjoyed about this game. What i enjoyed about it most was i guess what makes it "bad company"

OAKside @ Jun 8th 2008 12:58PM

"Are you ready for the biggest PlayStation 3 release yet?"

Corrected.

Batzi @ Jun 8th 2008 4:07PM

OMG! is this for real?? CAN'T WAIT!

John Benoit @ Jun 8th 2008 6:32PM

MGS4 is the reason I bought a ps3, an HDTV, 5.1 surround sound system, and DS3, I can't wait! Can't got to the midnight release though, but I'll get it after exams are done for the day!! FIVE DAYS!!!!

Wallamania @ Jun 8th 2008 6:49PM

You must be joking, ill be getting my copy as soon as i can my hands on it, which will hopefully be thursday afternoon, as ill be working in the morning, bummer!!, would'nt hold your breath for a subsistence copy but you never know, you could wait 3 years for a x360 version lmfao!!!

StevenRafael @ Jun 8th 2008 7:29PM

Oh man, you're a riot aren't you? You just crack yourself up every time, don't you?

JaseH @ Jun 8th 2008 11:59PM

StevenRafael, no one cares.

I took this week off work :) Official reason "am holidaying in japan for 3 weeks before moving to london for a year and need some time off to sort it all out" (truth) Unofficial reason: To finish off MGS2 before Thursday, (have been playing them all in order over the last few months), and also so I get Thursday and Friday off to play MGS4!! :) Cant wait 4 this game, this is why i own ps3, 40 bravia, 6.2 home thearte!

RagingStormX @ Jun 9th 2008 3:03AM

Definately getting both MGS4 (LE) and DBZ.....and I really like Civ Rev too...reminds me of the days I use to spend hours playing Age of the Empires. I have so much games and so little free time to play nowadays.....I need a 5 month vacation to catch up.
