PS3 Fanboy

Ain't gonna become a FPS - there's a huge spread on the game in the latest issue of Game Informer..

Yeah, we really need yet another FPS. *rolls eyes*

@ Popfrogs

So are you basically saying all games should change incase theres too many of them? I love FPS's, Resistance, R6 Vegas, COD4 and Orange Box. Because they were released at different times, i wouldn't say that was overkill. And i will be buying R6V:2 and Resistance 2 when thats released and then, lets say RF3 is FPS (I know it won't), i will be buying that on release. Thats top quality FPS over the span of 2 years. And like many gamers, they will only buy the FPS that appeals to them, and look how many games of the same genre are on 360? If anything i welcome more because thats more choice for the consumer. I personally, will buy what appeals to me.

Do you think Gran Turismo should become a plane racer because its done cars too much?

I, like many others, love top quality FPS's, and Red Faction 1 and 2 were top FPS's. Not the best granted, but they left me and others some of the greatest gaming moments ever!

Which is why i do not want RF3 to be set in 3rd person, because i think destroying the sceneary in FPS was amazing in black and RF2 and i want it to return in RF3

@Tinytim:

"and look how many games of the same genre are on 360". No shit, that's why people call it the FPSbox. It's boring, they don't have the same diversity the PS3 does and I don't expect this to change. It exists in the same ghetto PC gaming is in because nobody bothers to innovate, they just make what sells, over and over and over.

"Do you think Gran Turismo should become a plane racer because its done cars too much?"

Is there a point there? Sure, if there were 18 other racing games, you might have one. But there aren't. And with GT5 there doesn't need to be unless they're slightly or vastly different (Motorstorm).

However, this year we've got MGS4, Haze, Resistance2, R6Vegas2, Fracture, Army of Two...the list goes on and on. Resistance2 I'll bite on because the first one was so good and the multiplayer is still super popular. Fracture, maybe because it finally brings something new to the genre.

Personally I hope that more devs take chances with "risky" games instead of feeding us the same crap EA-style with minor upgrades every year. You should too.

@Popfrogs

I agree devs should take on more risky games (Home, fl0w, Echochrome) as for a £300ish console, it’s what owners deserve. But I also think many games should also stick to their routes. I mean yeah defiantly add innovation; MGS4: Online keeps that classic 3rd person stealthy shooter people love whilst adding the new tactical game play with the SOP system. Splinter Cell: Double Agent brought in the new trust system while keeping that invisible super spy feel.

This year, we have many great FPS’s heading to our consoles. Me and you shall be buying what appeals to us and everybody else can buy what appeals to them. I will be buying R6:V2, you will be buying Facture, somebody else will be buying Haze and overall, you get a lot of satisfied consumers. Even if the 360 has loads of FPS’s, there is something for everybody; don’t fancy Halo go buy Dead Rising.

When I first heard about Red Faction 3, I was expecting an FPS where you can destroy the scenery till your hearts content. So yes, I was disappointed when I heard it would a 3rd person because I would have loved an FPS where you can destroy everything. When I see trailers and in-game shots, I may change my opinion completely and say “this is going to be the game of the year!” I don’t know yet. I was just disappointed that’s all. It just sounds a bit like mercenaries 2 on mars now.



Oh and the Gran Turismo point. I was just saying because there is many racing games (Sega Rally, Burnout, CM: Dirt) Gran Turismo should stop being a racer and be something different. Like how there are many FPS’s, Red Faction should then change to a 3rd person.
