PS3 Fanboy

saw this last night on IGN video podcast and here's what I think

*shooting control is horrible
*all the enemies have to shout for you to know their location?
*gameplay just doesn't look interesting.
*control looks too loose, as you often run PAST your attackers.
*boomerang goes through walls and leaves no damage on the wall itself?

on the goodside
*graphic is next gen
*some good ideas.

Preordered this game a while back... hopefully it ends up being good otherwise I'll just cancel it. Btw Nick, the entire site has been italicized.

Thanks, Cagalli. We have a new "Make Tag Link" button and if I forget to check the webpage, those tags I make tend to italicize everything after it. I blame my browser, but who knows. Thanks for the heads up!

A little off topic but lets get some controversy going...

So last night I was wondering... gee what will I be playing for the rest of the year? So I went over to EBgames.com to check upcoming releases. Now I love my PS3 and have been a strong advocate for "give it time". But I think 1 year should be enough time to come out with some games I want, afterall it was enough time for 360. There are soo few EXCLUSIVE games coming out this year it makes me sick. Meanwhile I went over to the 360 section and saw a bunch of games that caught my interest. Sony BETTER pick up the ball. Command and Conquer 3, Bioshock, Alan wake, Hour of victory, Lost Odyssey, Huxley, Shadowrun, Forza 2, Too Human, Tenchu, Mass Effect, Blue Dragon, not to mention Halo 3 (to name a few) and that is only till december!!! And for PS3 im looking at Warhawk, Heavenly Sword, Lair and MAYBE MGS4. Wow thats a huge contrast. How can Sony sell systems with the competition hammering them on software, not to mention that it is getting SMASHED in the online department. Sure I want my MGS4 and FF13 but I also want MORE games. It seems like 360 is the system to own and might be that way for a long time.

Most of those 360 games are on PC as well, meaning they're not really "exclusives."

you have to have a better response than that... Seriously. we are talking console vs console. What comes out on pc effects the console war in no way.

You have to remember, in the 360's first year, the majority of the games that came out for the 360 could have probably been done on last gen equipment and the system didn't even start to shine until Gears of War came out, which was about a year after the system launched.

The PS3 has a limited, but still more impressive line-up than the 360 did last year at this time frame.

I remember last year 360 fans were complaining about a severe drought when it came to games, as for several months the system did not have any decent titles released.

This has happened every time a new console is released, it happened to the 360, the PS2, and the PS3 is no different.

ON launch day for the 360 I walked away with Call of Duty 3, Perfect Dark Zero, Condemned (EXCELLENT GAME!!!), Madden, Need for Speed and Project Gotham. A few weeks later I picked up Dead or Alive 4. In February Fight Night 3. In early March (3 months after launch) Burnout, GRAW, in mid march Oblivion, Blazing Angels, Top Spin 2, Far Cry. Battlefiled 2 and Tomb Raider in April. In May Hitman. June Over-G Fighters and Moto GP. In July Chromehounds, Lord of the Rings, PREY. In August Saints Row, Dead Rising. Then in September on I picked up a bunch of games including Gears of war, Splinter Cell, GRAW 2 (which still isnt out for PS3).
And those are only the games I picked up. I left out a ton like The Outfit, FF XI, Rumble Roses, Dynasty Warriors, Table Tennis, Ninety Nine Nights, King Kong, X-Men etc...

So what drought?

Like what? MotorStorm, VF5 and Resistance are only 3 games. Where's the beef?

You're right...it is off topic.

You can start your own blog at www.blogger.com, its easy.

Wow,

So defensive colin. usually when a xbot fanboy comes in here and starts talking smack everyone jumps on him and attacks his post. But now im getting "Go start your own blog". Is it different when a PS3 owner says something? or is it just to hard to argue with the truth because it hurts too much? I just wanted to start a "FRIENDLY" conversation.

funny how the idea of "give it time" got lost almost within the exact post. eh? When the rest of posts are all about not having good games THIS year. and frankly, this year isn't even over.

let's see. Heavenly Sword, Ninja Gaiden, LAIR, WarHammer (or something like that), Next year, FFXIII, FFXIII versus, DMC4, TG, MGS.

I know I miss a lot of games there, but if the idea is to 'give it time', what are we talking about here?

@Showstopper...

It is tiresome. This is a post about a game that is of interest to the PS3 community. If you want to have a 'voice' about your Xbox collection there are plenty of places to do so (I suggested blogger but there are others).

I come to PS3 fanboy to read news and opinions on the PS3...not lists and diatribes concerning another consoles. Just a stretch but I would think the majority of visitors to this site are here for the same thing. If people visiting PS3Fanboy wanted to see what games are available for another console I'm sure they could find their way over to a little site called Xbox360Fanboy so satiate themsleves. Nick has even made it easy by including a link on the right of this very screen that you can click on to be whisked away.

Should I list off all the Atari 2600 games I had in year one? Maybe all the games I had for my Mono Gameboy? No? ... Why?...Oh, right. It isn't relevant to this post.

@Showstopper

Many of those same games you listed that you picked up are either out on the PS3 or will be coming out.

And before you argue saying "but, it came out a year later and they are just ports".

Well, what did you expect. The PS3 wasn't released until a year later, therefore, they are now coming out to the PS3.


Also, games are personal preference so what interests you may not interest me and vis-versa.

A few Games you did not mention that are coming out in 07 for PS3 include ...

Ratchet and Clank: Tools of Destruction
Killzone
Uncharted: Drake's Fortune
Ninja Gaiden Sigma

Fellas,

i was simply trying to have a conversation. I own both systems so I could care less about fanboyism and bias'. I was just trying to have a conversation.

@kingofwhale...

"funny how the idea of "give it time" got lost almost within the exact post. eh? When the rest of posts are all about not having good games THIS year. and frankly, this year isn't even over."

How much time? That is my question. 1 year should be more than enough time. And no this year is not over but there are release list for you to see what is coming out for the rest of the year. Releasing 3 or 4 games for the rest of this year is not something to be proud of. And when you name games coming out stick to exclusives, DMC4 is multiplatform... And we all know which system has the better version of multiplatform games (Call of Duty 3 anyone?) And what is TG?

"I know I miss a lot of games there, but if the idea is to 'give it time', what are we talking about here?"

The sad part is no, you did not miss a lot of games. Maybe 2 or 3, big woops. Meanwhile you can go on and on about the Microsoft releases.

and colin,

"I come to PS3 fanboy to read news and opinions on the PS3"

This is an opinion on the PS3. I didnt make a post just to say what 360 games I have or to say what the 360's release schedule is. I did it to make a COMPARISON between 2 competitors. But the fact that no one can make a sound argument against what I have said just goes to show...

What is goes to shoe, ShowStopper, is that the majority of PS3 owners don't own or care about the X360 and vice versa.

Actually, I think most of the games you mentioned where also released on the PS2 as well. I think it's actually worse to have the same games as a last-gen system then a same-gen one. The arguement you gave for the 360 games can also be applied to the PS3. Besides, there could be alot of games coming out that haven't even been announced yet. Who knows what might pop up unannounced to the party?

Ratchet and Clank: Tools of Destruction - Should be a good game, I am looking foward to it.

Killzone- Has anyone actually seen in game footage of this game? I know I havent and I bet you havent either. Unlikely 2007 release.

Uncharted: Drake's Fortune- Looks interesting, but would like to see in-game FOOTAGE and not just screen shots, and unlikely for a 2007 release.

Ninja Gaiden Sigma- This is gonna look good in 1080p, im excited for it cuz I didnt finish the XBOX version.

"Many of those same games you listed that you picked up are either out on the PS3 or will be coming out.

1. they are inferior ports.
2. not even HALF (more like 1/4) of those games are coming to the PS3.
3. GRAW 2, Splinter Cell... The PS3 was out when these were released.
4. The really good ones i named are EXCLUSIVE.

FLAME!!!!!!!!!FLAME!!!!!!!!!!!!!FLAME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

LOL just kidding. I remember reading some of your previous post showstopper so i know you are just trying to make a point and not bash anything. I don't agree with everything you say, but whatever.

as for all those game you said you bought, unless you are rich or something is hard to believe you spent 2000+ in that time just in gaming.

Maybe I am not hardcore enough???

Woot! Cool games coming for the 360.

So seriously people. Stop arguing. You sound like idiots.
And this is all past the point because this post was about the video of Dark Sector, not about debating upcoming games for the consoles.
