What was that about a game that sony is showing in secret at e3. Damn is that true and any info to be released in near future?
Dwag @ Jul 20th 2008 3:48AM
Like the show glad they didn't sound like fanboys but the Resistance and Infamous hype come on man the PS3 people don't need those generic games.
Kamma @ Jul 20th 2008 5:26AM
If you actually knew anything about InFamous, you'd know that it has quite an intriguing story. ;)
hedpe @ Jul 20th 2008 6:27AM
tell me what games aren't generic, according to you. and then tell me what games the ps3 needs.
ryan @ Jul 20th 2008 7:46AM
God of War 3, LBP aren't generic. the PS3 needs more marketable games like those. MAG, Killzone 2, Resistance 2, while technically decent looking games, DO look generic. there's just no denying that they just don't have a catchy look to them.
hedpe @ Jul 20th 2008 12:30PM
are you the one i quoted but with a different name? i don't remember seeing anything but a trailer for G.O.W 3. can you link me to the gameplay video that you saw? a "catchy look" or not will be determined by sales figures. and we can't figure that out before the games are released. if the ps3 needs more games like those 2, wouldn't that create a generic base in itself? you mean to say the ps3 needs more "innovative" games, right? if so, then i got it, i get ya.
one last thing, as i don't play many FPS, tell me what other first person shooters offer the same experiences as the 2 in question?
ryan @ Jul 20th 2008 12:43PM
i don't see that you quoted anyone. you asked a question to the OP, and i decided to answer and give my opinion.
the GOW franchise as a whole has immense marketable potential just based off it's predecessors. LBP already has a Unique style as well.
the Resistance and Killzone franchises, unfortunately aren't as noticible. sure the effects, textures animation and gameplay are intact. but as far as that unique look? sorry, they just fall into obscurity.
and as for your question, again the two first person shooters are lost in a sea of FPS, with a few that have incredible marketing potential and unique style that are instantly recognizable.
i look at the Killzone and Resistance franchise and i just don't see a unique look to them. solid gameplay and graphics, most definitely, but not a "catchy" look. even if they do soar in sales, it's just my opinion that they look generic.
hedpe @ Jul 20th 2008 1:09PM
what other fps games offer the same experiences as ks2 and r2? and list a few of the ones that have "incredible marketing potential and unique style that are instantly recognizable." if you can answer them 2 without any bloated text, rock it.
yeah, you can't quote on this site other than copying and pasting. i ain't down with it.
ryan @ Jul 20th 2008 2:01PM
2 games. no 'bloated text' (whatever that means):
Halo and Gears of War. same experiences and tremendous marketing potential.
ryan @ Jul 20th 2008 2:18PM
also, i don't mean to say that these are "superior" games. my opinion of their actual gameplay doesn't matter. they are similar in that they offer a shooting game experience.
what i'm saying is they have more of a unique look and style to them that is instantly recognizable and marketable compared to KZ 2 and R2.
hedpe @ Jul 20th 2008 4:28PM
glad that we could have this conversation. from the second you chimed in, i knew what your answers were going to be.
anyway, i think a point has been made without any further commenting.
"gears" is a FPS?
bloated text: review post 9 (mine), then review post 10 (yours)... got it?
anyway, here's to future "conversations."
Jangaboo @ Jul 20th 2008 6:19AM

YAFB @ Jul 20th 2008 9:38AM

Torgo @ Jul 20th 2008 1:07PM
The inFamous gameplay video that I was talking about was on Gamespot
Riley Freeman @ Jul 20th 2008 3:52PM
i think they need to talk about the ridiculous download times for software updates for mg4. every other game its a minute max. this game u can sit there forever wasting time downloading a software update. how cheap is konami that they cant make a decent server
Savory @ Jul 20th 2008 5:50PM
To be honest, I haven't even tried MG Online since I bought MGS4. I'll get around to it soon and you can be sure we'll talk about that issue.
Torgo @ Jul 20th 2008 10:37PM
That's a Konami issue, they run all of their own servers etc. They're really screwing their online stuff up.
Dwag @ Jul 21st 2008 4:14AM
My post didn't get posted? then where did it go?
